I BOUGHT The Weirdest SUBARU Ever For $1,000 *Subaru SVX*

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I've been searching for another SVX since I couldn't make a deal on that 1993 Subaru SVX LS-L. Plenty of comments suggested that I buy the Hoovie's Garage SVX but I was sure it sold long ago. I was over at the car barn the other day and there it was, sitting outside, and overshadowed by other cool cars. Tyler messaged me a few days ago and said "If you want it, come get it." Zack and I hopped in his Subaru WRX and headed over to meet Tyler and pick up the 1994 Subaru SVX LSi. This old grand touring Subaru is straight piped and the EG33 H6 engine screams like an exotic car close to redline. We'll have to make another video just to go over the car, there's more than enough talk about!

    He WalchJRGo I used to have a 94 svx. One of the few things i did to it was putting in a remote switch in place if the 20 amp fuse. To turn on and off the awd. Just rember to put in a 20 amp inline fuse. By doing this you you will make it a front wheel drive and gane about. And put in a true twin exhaust with x pipe with a k&n filter. Then you will gain to 20 + horsepower depending on the condition of your car.

    An old timer showed me that using Molykote 111 grease on rubber seals (such as door seals, t-top seals, etc.) will soften them back to factory and make them seal again. Try that to fix your water leaking window run channel and any other rubber seal on the body! I would apply it and let it sit overnight and wipe it off in the morning followed by a silicone spray, made everything like new again.

    I have had 2 SVX's they are fun cars but they do have a few problems, the earlier models like 92 maybe up till 94 had weak transmissions, not really weak but not big enough for the car size, they were 4EAT models. Most Subarus "I have had 7 and still have 2" tend to leak oil on the exhaust and smell of burned oil. the rear wheel bearings are somewhat undersized too and they too tend to go bad more often than other cars. The boxer 6 is a pretty peppy engine, I really liked the two I had, I first got familiar with Subarus when I bought my first XT another fun little Suby.

    I drove one of these waaay back when I worked at a auto body shop.. it was very slow and strange looking, that's all I remember from it lol.

    Very cool car! I've wanted a SVX for a while now but can't find one that's not either way overpriced or a complete p.o.s.! Most I've come across were like the first one you looked at, in need of a complete restoration with over 150k miles. I did come across a beautiful blue one with only 26k miles that looked brand new, but he wanted $8k. My search continues....

    I used to see a blue SVX around my neighborhood from time to time, but I live in the rust belt so either the rust got it or the owner just doesn't get it out as much anymore...or they traded it in for an SUV because that seems to be what 90% of people around here drive now. Side note: be careful spraying that degreaser on a hot engine, you could wind up with an engine fire, it's flammable!
