[SVX Struts]

Any leads on finding struts for my '92 SVX?  Dealership is unable to pull up any parts for the car, even using the vin.  Thank you.

Thank you.  A manual sounds great!

['95 Legacy missing out]

thanks, again.  I'll start into it this weekend.  Is there a chance the timing has jumped, since I did replace timing components?

['92 SVX Tranny Swap]

Thank you.  As far as swaps, I've seen several combinations.  I suppose i'm looking for the route that requires the least amount of fabrication/modification.

270,000.  2.2. new to me. Typical 250,000 + mile wear n tear.  Previous owner maintained well for 6 years, (friend of mine)  Plugs are clean and fairly new appearing.  Not sure which cylinder at this point.  I was driving when it suddenly lost power.  No backfiring.

What is the most straightforward tranny swap for a '92 SVX?  Picked up a running, driving "92 SVX for $500, want to keep it on the cheap...

 

['95 Legacy missing out]

95 Legacy missing out after engine warms for 2-3 minutes.  Idles smooth for that length of time, then a cylinder stops firing.  Will sporatically fire at around 2, 000 rpm.  Installed new timing kit about 1, ooo mls ago.  Ran fine for a month.  My first thought is that the timing jumped, but the smooth running at first start throws me off.  Thank you for any input.

Congrats and welcome. Congrats on finding a $300 beater AND it being the first edition 2.2 ! You seem to be straight on target. Good man , you fit in well here.

Curious - Which timing kit did you buy ? Or make up from various ? What brand were the pulleys and pump ? It’s a topic often discussed with manufacturers we once loved now selling Chinese garbage. Thanks for any input.

The board is fading out but hopefully there’ll always be a presence here and good people. Enjoy !

Thank you kind sir!  I bought a DAYCO brand kit, keeping it on the cheap.  The pump is from Thailand....  Oh well.  The car has 270,000mls.  Hoping to get it to 300 with least amount spent.  Hopefully I can score the '92 SVX today for less than $500 and see what it has left in it.

The Legacy is at 270,000 presently!  I did a full timing kit and H2O pump.   Running and driving like a champ...besides rear wheel bearing "whoomp whoomp whoomp"  Thanks for the pointers.  I will certainly utilize the help.

I am new to the Subaru Universe.  Recently acquired '95 Legacy for $300 that needed some pulleys and belts.  Easy DIY...totally worth it!  Possible future owner of '92 SVX, this weekend...may get for less than $500.
