SVXTony Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thank you guys for the worm welcome. I will keep you posted on further developments as I move forward with the SVX and Impreza. I will be soon starting a thread on the svx as I get some progression. Would be great to meet some of you guys at a show meet some time, maybe when the SVX is at a better standard.

quit Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Welcome ! Some nice cars there! Was a svx at rockingham last year caught my eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXTony Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 little update... I stripped the SVX for parts and kept the engine and wiring harness for the impreza swap. I sold the impreza ej205 lump and acquired another eg33 svx engine and custom harness from a good chap in Cardiff. Then, sold the bolt in cage to make way for full weld in. I plan to build a fully insane EG33TT 1000hp forged, sleeved, closed decked, ported, cam'd, stroked and polished. Yeah dream on! In the mean time I will run the other N/A with some cams and porting etc. Getting rid of the 5 speed box and going for 6 speed, r180 rear and late sti hubs.
