Do a search for the Subaru magazine DRIVE; they have an online version. They have 2 issues with stories/pictures of the Subaru museum. Some of the cars they have are: The Bonneville Subaru, a sick Gen 1 Brat, 360, and I think a concept. There are pictures and write ups in the magazine.

My take: THe SVX is more of an experience than a car. I know that sounds cheesy but it is true. There is nothing like sitting back in the deep leather seats; stereo booming (they have great stock stereos) cruising 100 on the HWY. I am still amazed how inexpensive these cars are in the market; remember that this was $35k new. The fact that there were only 15k imported to begin with and a lot of people part them out as they become too expensive to fix. That being said, I would recommend that a SVX be a second car, not your get to work and and groceries vehicle. Also, be very selective in purchasing one, and don't buy one from a used car lot. These go at auctions fairly cheaply and these guys hae no idea what they are dealing with. I test drove one at a car lot and immediately I could hear the front diff grinding, the salesman tried to convince me it was the common Subaru CV problem and he would deduct $200 for a new one. I looked at least 10 SVX's over a period of 4 years before I bought mine. I had actually given up the search. I finally got mine from the original owner who had documented every penny that he had put into car. It was worth the wait.

THose are 14"? I thought Subaru did not make a 4 bolt 14" wheel.

Guns and Subarus.....Me like.

Yeah, I am homesick for some good old PA rust. Actually, I am interested in the water wagon in OH.

Anyone know of a cheap way to transport a car from Coast to Coast? Thanks, R. Augur

I was at the parts counter @ Wentworth Subaru, they have a box full of various owners manuals for Subes and Chevy. I saw several 1986 Brat manuals, a couple of Loyal manuals. They were $5.00 and brand new w/the manual holder. If you need one, best get down there.

Hi All~ I want to remove the Subaru hood badge. Does anyone have any secrets? 1) Is there any type of solvent that will remove the adhesive without hurting the paint? Thanks

Hi All~ I want to add a set of aftermarket gauges to my SVX: Transmission temp; voltage; oil pressure. Can anyone recommend any specific brand/model #. Lookiing for best gauges at best price, also to consider is ease of installing. Does anyone make a SVX pillar triple gauge holder? Thanks for your help.

Just went out and man-handled the headrest. It worked but I really had to but some muscle into it....thanks

Just bought a 92 SVX and I am enjoying the experience. My owners manual shows that the front headrests are adjustable in a front to back fashion. However, I can not find any adjustment in them. Am I missing something here?

Hi All, Has anybody successfully made the conversion from sun to glass moonroof on the SVX? Looking for expert or kit to help me. Thanks, R. Augur

Hi All~ Has anybody heard of anyone else switching the stock SVX sunroof with a glass moonroof? Looking for a kit or a person who has had it done with success. Thanks, R. Augur
