ccrinc Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I bought me a beautiful '92 SVX, black with grey leather interior. A perfect match for my '92 Legacy Turbo Touring Wagon LE (also black). Sweeet!! Of course, I now also own the two most difficult, hair tearing, ratchet throwing, sailor swearing cars to work on. Good thing my other half is the Subaru Genius, eh? As of today, the SVX came in to not only get the transmission rebuilt (shift kid modification, of course) but a complete engine rebuild too! Why not? It needs a tuneup, and a rebuild isn't that much more trouble. So, watch out there guys! I'm on a roll!!

Dr. RX Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Corky, whatever in heavens name makes you think I'd work on them? Thanks Ed. Emily Gee, I guess it was your statement, "I now also own the two most difficult, hair tearing, ratchet throwing, sailor swearing cars to work on." But the hair tearing, ratchet throwing and sailor swearing would apply to just about every type of car that I have worked on from one time to another. I think Mitsubishis are much harder to work on the Subarus, especially the V6 models, they hide the alternator next to the firewall, under the head, if you didn't know where it was, it would take you some time to find it. Yea, it's a lucky woman who gets married to a mechanic, I tell my wife that every time she tells me about her firends and their car troubles, and she agrees.

Yeah, on an SVX, that almost goes without saying, doesn't it? New radiator, of course. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
