On the SVX race car that me and Benebob have been working on, we currently have a transmission out of a FWD Impreza 1.8. We are using the SVX TC and the SVX TCU... Now that we have some of the other issues worked out, we noticed a "bogging" while stomping it about 1/2 way through 2nd. It always seems to happen at the exact speed/RPM. At first we though it was a fuel issue, this afternoon at about the same time we both had the though of early TC Lockup??? Does this make sense to anyone else??? Can anyone tell me how the TC locks? I'm guessing a signal from the TCU to the trans. i checked out the FSM I have here for an XT6 (basically the same 4eat) and it looks like maybe Sel B is responsible for Lock Up?? If we find the wire going to Sel B and disconnect it would that keep it locked or unlocked? My other thought is to try out a TCU from the Impreza and see if that will help it shift better? For now the car is being run in auto crosses only, so I really don't care if the TC never locks again.

Please, PM me or let Melis know what you would like us to bring... Meat? Salad? Sweets? Drinks? Just let us know so we don't end up with 6 different varieties of Potato Salad and nothing else to eat...

Uncle Paul... So sorry for the loss... Also sorry I couldn't make it up to help more towards the end... I'll see ya on Sat, buddy

The SVX Racer that we have lightened and set up to run E Prepared in autocross.

Sounds good The way I read the rules we are covered safety wise down to 11.49 If we beat that it will be well worth just getting the one run in:brow:

Just get me an address and I'll find it Hope to see you (the coupe) then :D

Congrats on the car again... I'm out of town this weekend, but hopefully I can make it up soon to see the new ride :D

Aren't there differences in the radio frequencies between the US and some other countries?? Not sure?? Just something in the back of my head is warning that you should check this out before you go to the expense of importing one...

el Wooto :D

Elsewhere they got actual 4 wheel steering, in places like Japan and Aus. Over here they supposedly have a sort of passive steering where the suspension somehow/somewhat turns the rear wheels. I don't think it gets near 6* though?? Do a search for rear steering over at subaru-svx.net, there have been a few debates/discussions about it.

I have came upon a set of KYB GR2's with stock springs out of a 93 Impreza. I'm fairly sure they will fit in my 97 Legacy?? Should I use the Legacy springs or just leave the Imp springs in place? If the car drops and firms up a little, I'll be fine with that:brow: But I have a feeling that the Imp springs are a little light for the extra weight of the Leg... Any tips? Other Ideas?

Connie, Nothing wrong with showing Bucky, he's a beautiful EA82 wagon:D:D I'll register 2 or 3 cars in the next day or two. Not sure what I'm going to bring... 92 Racer SVX (completely gutted and lightened to about 2700#s) 92 SVX stock and perty 86 Brat mostly stock and ruggedly perty 97 Legacy stock loyal and reliable at 212k I will probably be bring the racer, although that will have to get there via trailer and Ben's ford. Any other requests??

Sometime in the next month or so, a group of us are planning to get together in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey. Keep an eye in this forum for more details...

Pennsy is expecting rain most of the week, but no winter weather that I know of. This weekend is supposed to clear up and be in the 60's. What area of PA are they headed to? If I can help with anything, let me know.

I should be registering sometime today or tomorrow. When is the deadline for us to get the group tent? Oh and if will help to get people registered... I got to see the name badges that Melissa is making up for the event. They are SO F*&%ING INCREDIBLE!!!!! Each one is hand crafted, sure to become a collectors item... I don't want to go into details, and ruin the surprise. Scott, I'll be contributing to the "Food Fund" when you get the details up. I can bring a cooler or two.

The first weekend in June is the XT6 meet... Other than that I don't know of anything yet.

Yeah, I was kidding.... This time of the year in Pennsy, If you don't wash your headlights daily, you can barely tell if they are turned on at night...

It seems that Subaru likes to put them on cars in other countries than the US. In other countries they are on the SVX and I believe some Legacy's, but over here, the only Soob that ever had them are the XT6 and XT-Turbos. I guess it since all of our roads are so clean:rolleyes:

Hot Damn Paul:drunk: Happy Birthday to ya' ...how about that??? Two Subaru icons having the same birthday...

Weekend of April 9-10 is out for me.

The region in State college had a winter Rally Cross series, but it is done for this year I found out about it the afternoon after their last event. Also, last year there was the Auto-X event at the meet, I'm assuming they will have it this year also.

I got to see the whole thing, nothing about "Our" meet :-(

Hey Bev, it's about time you got signed up here :D you know you'll be getting another soon;)

We met him up near Toland to get a set of LGT rims. We were chatting about my SVX and he mentioned that a friend of his had a white one that was getting a 6 spd... :D

Thank God for Elle and her snowtires. She got us back to PA nice and safe :D
