Re: Welcome to our newest member: Tokyo-KT

Thanks for being here.

I really like what you've done with your SVX... the Grille and headlights look great!


I like this picture too... I very much love the dark blue and World rally blue SVXs in the back.

Re: Welcome to our newest member: Tokyo-KT

Great links! Thank you.

Your car looks amazing. We all love to see what other people do to their SVXs, so excuse us for being so excited. We ask a lot of questions. Feel free to ask some yourself.

This photo belongs in our calendar.


These cars linked to your blog also look great. Do you know the owners? I love the blue one.



Do you know this car? It has Florida, USA plates...



Thank you for replying to our questions. We're all enjoying your info on Japanese SVXs very much.

Re: Welcome to our newest member: Tokyo-KT

Good idea, KT we need some very high resolution pictures of your SVX in some nice angles. An SVX picture with a Japanese license plate will be really nice for our 2010 SVX Calendar

Each year a member in the svx.net forum produces an SVX calendar for all members. This year we must include some of your nicest looking SVX in it.

Please if you can contact the members in your area asking them for some high resolution pictures please.

Huck what do you think?

The grill of SKYLINE GT-R was modified.

GT-R

The modification is DIY. It doesn't sell it.
I think that GT-R grills are about $500.

Re: Welcome to our newest member: Tokyo-KT

It was the website for the 1st generation Alcyone owners (xt coupe, or vortex)They had organized alcyone meets in japan thru 2004. There were pics on the website. I had posted some over on subaruxt.com. Many alcyones and svx's shown gathered.

Oh well.

Would you know who runs this website :
http://poyo.biz/svx/menu.htm

of the whereabouts of the prototype SVX shown on this page of thier website:
http://poyo.biz/svx/contents/prototype/prototype.html

I have been trying to find this location where subaru keeps their concept and prototype models.

I am really after the ACX-II which was shown at the 26th tokyo motor show(date of the 26th tokyo motor show-october 26th 1985.)(I think it was also shown at TAS-as I have the TAS brochure from that year) and was the first subaru concept to bear a six cylinder boxer engine, the ER27.
See my thread on this here:http://subaruxt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7542
(moderators not to cross post just no other archive on this info on the internet)

For it was the development of this initial Alcyone (ACX-II) which later lead to the birth of the SVX. See my thread above as the first pic shown is of the delelopment relationship between the Alcyone XT, ACX-II the F9-X and the ESTREMO concepts bringing forth the next generation, the SVX.

This was the birth of the Alcyone, I know development on this concept happened in 1984.

I have been working for years to find ANY info on these subaru aspects, If anyone knows anything more please let us know!

Please do not difficult question. It is not good at English.
It is not possible to answer in English.
I'm sorry.

The prototype of SVX seems to be preserved in the warehouse of Subaru.
It doesn't know whether to be preserved still.
I had the chance that was able to be seen. However, It did not see. Because I was not interested.

A lot of Japanese owner thinks that alcyone and SVX are different cars.

Each photographer has the copyright in each photograph.
Please do not use each photograph without obtaining the copyright holder's permission.

The use of my image is permitted.
I know a blue SVX owner and a green SVX owner. I confirmed it to them. Both, it is permission.

It seems to have bought the US numberplate by the auction of US. The green svx owner said.

Tokio-KT, Thank you for your response.

Sorry for long post.

Do you know the location of the warehouse of Subaru? Is it at subaru headquarters in japan?

Sorry I did not intend to use any photos without permission. Any info is greatly appreciated.

It seems to be kept in the warehouse in the Ota city in Japan.
Ota city, there is a factory of Subaru.

I heard that a lot of SUBARU show cars are preserved in the warehouse.
Parties concerned seem to wash the show car once every year.
It was invited to the carwash ten years or more ago.
However, it refused.
I think that the image of poyo 's site is the one taken a picture of in front of the warehouse.
Mr. poyo seems also to have gotten the image from someone.


The prototype SVX might not be. It might be still.
Sorry, I can't confirm it now. If I have the chance, it asks someone.

I don't know about export. I think whether there are any methods.
By the way, what do you want?

Re: Welcome to our newest member: Tokyo-KT

depending on price... Side view mirrors and the switch to control them, the bilstein coilovers I have seen on a couple japanese websites, the strut tower damper, and a few other things that I cant remember off the top of my head right now....
