Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Gunbei,

Sorry I missed your post. I'm seldom over in this section. In any case I did not keep the Webber carbs on the 3.0. When they were tuned properly on the 2.4 that thing hummed, but the mixture is easier to manage on the fuel injected 3.0 so I gave up the Webbers. If I ever go back to the triple barrel carb set up I'm getting the PMO carbs. These things are based on the Webber design, but with significant improvements, including easier tuning. Truly audiophile carbs compared to the Webbers.

So when did you change out the breaks on your svx? Great car, btw.

Biomimetic,

Thanks! I had been looking for one in early 1994 and walked into this NOS 1992 model by chance. They made me a deal I could not refuse!

I changed out the original rotors to Brembo's and ceramic pads at about 160,000 miles. Still going strong. They built these cars to last (except for the 2 problems that almost all SVX's had, but that's another story!).

It's funny I drive a Nissan Infiniti G20 w/the SRDET engine - sure enough, I'm in for a check up at the mechanic and I say hey, the breaks are squeaking and he said the same thing people say about SVX - did you change out to the Brembos yourself?

Started with a Renault 5 , followed by the Honda crx with 3 times more horsepower!!
The Honda gave me a lot of problems and I will never buy a used Honda anymore.
In 2000 got my hands on a half-year old Subaru Impreza GT Turbo , 230 HP ,FWD and amazing handling.
Killersound and looks like a ninja in silver ,I love the Impreza :-)
