Noob Here !

Hi guy’s, I just got my first SVX. Had to step down from my STI due to health problems (no it did not give me a heart attack) I having knee replacement and needed an Automatic. So I was able to pick up a 1992 White With only 70K mi. The trans has already been replaced along with most of the other parts that wear out at that mileage. The car is incredibly Clean and well maintained !

Are there any So Cal Peeps here ?

What are you guy’s doing to increase HP ?

Peace
Mike

Significant Technical Input Registered SVX
Welcome to the club!!!
How patient are you?
4.44/4.11 gears are the most noticable bang for the buck, NOX is a proven hp gain, beyond those, as far as engine HP, you only get little gains , so far from timing/fuel map/tuning/exhaust tuning.
But, I belive big things are coming our way!
We are working on it!
I predict that by this April you WILL have some SERIOUS choises in constant all time power adds!!!!!
But for right now,
You CAN improve the braking/handeling,
You just might need it!




Maybe, you just stepped up!

Best place to start is here: Mychailo's SVX Store

Mychailo's Sport Springs are a great upgrade (which I'll be getting later in the spring) and the rear sway-bar will really help to dial out some of the natural understeer in our cars.

You should also check out Dayle's store at: www.svxworld.com/

P.S. Welcome to the site! BTW, the 4.11/4.44 gear upgrade is the best bang-for-buck on our cars. The stock awd 3.545 gearing is just too tall...
