Subaru SVX

My friend got hold of a 91 SVX a couple of years ago. It was very nice and ultra rare.

In the US they were made from 92 - 97, and 92 being by far the most popular.

There are about 10,000 - 12,000 still left in the US.

I think it was a 92 now you mention it...

Still really ultra rare in the UK. They number in the hundreds at the most.

Yeah. A friend of mine runs a business buying them and striping them for parts...its so sad. Someday i'll buy one and restore it to cherry

This is the thing. Put a big Zorst on an I4, it's a fart can, but on the turbocharged F4's they sound deep and throaty. They're the best sounding four in the world.

A friend of mine got the muffler and pipe off a Japanese turbo Legacy...and he didn't use it, so he gave it to me. I love it.

Why do you insist upon heaping your hate upon anything that is not a big american boat?
WE GET THAT YOU ARE AN OLD MAN! GIVE IT A GD REST!

Like seriously, did a Honda salesman rape you when you were little?

Wait... I guess they didn't have Hondas when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

My mate who had the SVX traded it when it needed some work (read: alot) for a White 93 Legacy Turbo Wagon. Great car, nice and quick. Turbo came on hard at 4k.

Some Bastards nicked it, painted it black with a brush. They were caught tho, but the car was beyond economic repair and the insurance company wrote it off. So sad.

I love Scoobs!

 

[ed21x]

another vote for the 3000 GT, '99 era eclipse, and rx-7.

As for other good cars, the S2k, RSX, TSX, NSX, Toyota Supra, Nissan R34 Skyline, and rx8. I love the aggressive, curvy stylings of japanese cars

add in 350z, is300, Toyota Celica, and many more!

Nice site. I'm a member of the Subaru Impreza Drivers Club, the member sticker is in the first pic in the back window ( www.sidc.co.uk ) forum and www.scoobynet.co.uk. The 'charged scoobs have been on sale in teh UK since 1994ish so we have a great well established scene for them and the aftermarket is very mature.

this is the stupidest theard ever.

so...whats your favorite computer? i mean there's a bunch of good ones, but only ones put together from newegg!!
catch my drift?

a better thread would be something like what's your favorite looking japanese car?

my favorite car? for the price, i think a supra is the best built stock car. the 7mgte's have great hp upgrades, and the 1jz and 2jz have very strong internals and can handle a lot of boost.

Z32 300ZX
R33/R34 Skylines
2nd Gen Eclipses/Talons
90's Subaru Impreza WRXs
Toyota MR2 (2nd gen)
Toyots Celica (mid 90's with the 4 headlights)
Lexus GS (any one up until now, even the 1st gens.... sexy)
Lexus SC300/400 (not the new SC, blah)
Nissan 240sx (S13, S14, and S15)
Acura/Honda Legend 2dr


all IMO are classics or near classical designs.

Why limit the MR2 to 2nd gen? AW11s handle better..

Awesome. Only recently have there been a rise in turbo Subarus here in the US. Back in the 80s they had many, and then in the early 90's a turbo Legacy...then the WRX in 2002...now they have turbo Baja, Forester, Legacy, Outback, WRX, and STI.

I'm really would like a turbo Baja...I love those things!

It's just sooo stupid that you had to add your favourite car...

Nissan Silvia...very nice too bad they never brought it over as the 240sx replacemant

I thought the Silvia was souped up 240sx?

The Silvias in Japan are essentially 240sx's in America. But the Silvias in Japan had the SR20DET engine, a 2.0L turbo engine while we got the KA24DE, a 2.4L truck engine. We got every single Silvia except the S15.

Too bad they never brought over the S15, which is the best looking of all the Silvia/240's.

My list includes the 300ZX, 240/Silvia, Skyline R33/R34, RX-7, Supra, NSX.

Wait... I guess they didn't have Hondas when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Me thinks thou doest protest too much! That is truly the epitome of the Japanese import. Not riced in any way, pretending to be anything it's not. What don't you like about it?

When I think of "American Cars", my mind AWAYS pictures the good old Impala. Best selling car for decades. In reality, America prefers something else...

Hello Sailor!

 

[MasterAndCommander]

I changed my mind on the Supra...and everyone else's choices are lame...

Without a doubt, there is truly only one Japanese car that deserves the title as "BEST"

and here it is: Text

another: Busted!

right then

for me there are two. two jap cars i would have anyday. they are

the Nissan Skyline R33, and Mazda's (they japanese right?) RX-7 --oh yeah and the NSX!

R33 is the best of the skyline bunch, its the hardest looking car out of them all, looks like its about smash your face in with raw power. and because of japs laws about power output these things are over engineered for the power they make. they are bullet proof, you can tune the crap out of them, and ive read a story about a guy who drove his skyline for a couple of hundred miles with pretty much zero oil.

RX-7, has to be the most beautiful asian car ever. stunning to look at, goes like hot sh!t off a shovel, and rare as rocking horse sh!t. i saw a silver one tonight....my second ever sighting in my entire life. it just makes you gawp while you can still see it. amazing car.

how could i forget the NSX! theres a guy that has one on my street...in red...very pretty

what are yours?

Gen 3 RX7s for sure..
last gen supras as well..
300zx TTs last gen
Honda S2000 yeh I want one of these bad..
NSX lackluster performance stock for the price.
Skylines neat but never been sold at dealers in the US sooo...

all the rest uninsprired garbage.
