lwin, i will also bring the lcd stuff down.... i will trade you your old lcd setup for your labor in putting in a stereo system in my svx and maybe the window stuff is that's not too complicated =)

deal!

Going to SOS tomorrow to have my oil changed, rotors put on, and brake system flushed. Shouldnt be a problem.

Seraph · #18 04-01-2004, 03:41 PM

nope. those they can do. big items, I'll not do it there.

They can't even put together the brake lines for me last time.

That's weird...they did my transmission perfectly.

They did mine fine too but they screwed up vivian's.

It think it depends on the mood of the guy. In my case, the return hose from the rack for PS line came off like 3 days after. I had to remove my wheel and such to get to it.

I'll get back to you tomorrow when I get back. (probably after 6, dont think it will be done in time for work)

p.s. get those pictures up from the meet...

Bwana · #22 04-02-2004, 10:48 PM

Went perfect....except that they started on the car 5 hours after i dropped it off...so it wasnt ready when I had to go to work. Oh well...it stops awesome now.

I would love to get together with some svxers' around chicago, I am not in contact with anyone that owns one in Chicagoland at all.
My best friend who is a mechanic like myself, has a sweet WRX with a big front mount intercooler, and would love to see more than one SVX in one place.
Seraph, is that a woman you know in the picture? If she is an SVX owner that would be to good to be true. She would have me wrapped around her finger as I love working on these cars in ANY circumstance.
I am not just a sucker for skin deep beauty, she looks intreresting and smart to.
I will assume that she is not an svx owner but she looks cool enough to be a fan! If thats not your wife, then I won't ask to be forgiven.
Sorry, but I couldn't help but wonder.
I haven't been here much lately since I've gotten my trans replaced and given up on a manual for now.
I was here last week and was unclear who was speaking to who about a getogether in Chicago area, and would love to see a bunch of us get together to rap and do something fun.

P.S. I am able to do small repairs, interface w/OBDII, and diagnose problems: "ale-mobile". But if I bring my air compressor, I will have to bring the truck instead of the SVX!

Hehe...that's Lwins wife alright...

Just had front rotors put on, brake system flushed, and an oil change, i think it was something like $200. (Isnt it great to have parents that pay for "saftey" stuff?

)

subafan · #28 04-12-2004, 11:33 PM

wow... that sounds quite reasonable... i know shops here in madison that wants 600+ to put on all 4 rotors

No, mines the dark red, I saw a nice one there when I picked up my new trans(the bright red). I have to call the manager AGAIN at Evanston Subaru to try and get them to pay for the scratches resulting from them "storing" the axles on the faces of the rims.
They were willing to correct a couple of other issues related to this service I had to have a dealer do to get the full trans warranty(labor included). But unfortunately, after 2 explicit yet fair written requests, they have denied responsibility for these scratches that I saw the cause of WITH MY OWN EYES (as they had parts stored on them like h. I'm staring to think I should have tried Schaumburg Subaru for the trans job! It would have been cheaper to!
