My friends dad had one of these. It was awesome looking. He could barely get change in a toll with the windows.

Drive thru’s are terrible

Nice. I really need to get mine out of the garage at some point.

Same.

I miss my XT6 now. If I would have had the mechanical skills then that I have not to fix the air struts and window lifts… But with four kids, it wasn’t very practical either.

Oh you’ll love my interior

u/Coffee4MyJeep 2d ago

I sold my last SVX to a friend, and they turn it into this: https://www.instagram.com/safari_svx/

u/___cats___ 2016 Outback Limited 2d ago

Those things are sick. How many replacement transmissions do you have in stock?

u/daisy_likes_cars 2d ago

Zero, i manual swapped it with a wrx trans like a decade ago 🥰

u/___cats___ 2016 Outback Limited 2d ago

Goddamn it. Now I’m jealous.

u/RappingFlatulence 2d ago

Awesome! What engine? I’ve always loved how oddly unique these are. I mean it fits Subaru’s MO especially with the Brat and Baja, but yet it’s unlike anything they’ve done either lol

7

u/daisy_likes_cars 2d ago

Stock engine! The engines are really nice and non interference so not a whole lot can go catastrophically wrong

u/jhawkins93 2d ago

I have a whole write up for it. It’s actually not that hard, barely any fab work is necessary

u/dharmastum 2d ago

I don't know what that is but it's really cool looking.

u/invol713 2d ago

SVX. The best-looking car Subaru ever made. 6 cylinders of fury. Automatic-only killed its sportiness though.

u/holytrpa 2d ago

Cool car

You are a brave soul to have that vehicle in Pennsylvania. Pothole Paradise.

One word: air suspension

u/MEB_PHL 1d ago

I got two words for you: Steve Nash and Chris Paul, must-see TV!

u/AdhesivenessLoud7276 2d ago

These look thecpart for sure. Grossly under performed though. Shame

6

u/Good_With_Tools 2d ago

The engines were silky smooth and powerful enough. The transmissions really let them down. Manual transmission swaps are very common now.

I actually swapped the EG33 into a Forester a long time ago. It was a fun project.

u/AdhesivenessLoud7276 2d ago

I've heard that.. shame they didn't do it in the first place or drop a turbo in it also. really could have made that car something very special.

u/VlNDAZZLE 2d ago

u/daisy_likes_cars 2d ago

I swapped it a decade ago hehehe

1

u/blargysorkins 21h ago

I assume the RWD conversion drops some weight? What a riot, great job with the car!

u/daisy_likes_cars 19h ago

Just the front axle shafts! So not too much. Less power loss through spinning parts though, but not noticeable
