March 18, 201510 yr Looking good, that sxv looks long ! ☺ don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh
March 18, 201510 yr Hi mate welcome to Soc great selection of subarus. It is rather addictive isn't it. [emoji12]
March 18, 201510 yr hi mate, welcome to the club. You should have a look over at the car show section, be sweet if you could bring that svx along!
March 18, 201510 yr Author 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.
November 5, 201510 yr Author 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.
November 5, 201510 yr Hi mate sorry to hear the about the first SVX :( But like the sound of the new rebuild :D
