1994 Subaru SVX LSI

Pictures

these are all from the day i got the car towed to my house about 2 years ago, ill get new ones when its up and running in a week or so.

Modifications
at the moment, just a crappy warm air intake that i have to re-fab.

plans include wrx ra gearswapped trans, straight through stock sizing exhaust, with straight through mufflers(in a month or so), AEM FIC, Individual throttle bodies, and cams to maximise the itbs and exhaust setup, a massive weight reduction as far as i can, on this very heavy car, fuel system and ignition system upgrade, plans to autocross the car once i know its running and driving right again.

Build history
so i own 2 cars, a 1998 mazda with a clutch that started slipping randomly(probably oil on the clutch from the rear main seal) a few days ago, just after i finished putting a stock trans in my subaru svx that was sitting for over 2 years now. so now, as soon as i can get tires, the mazda gets parked till the spring when i can do a clutch without the cold winters here in wisconsin! so on to the subaru.

1994 subaru svx lsi. 3.3l H6, AWD. the car belonged to my brother, till he blew the trans out driving it, and i gave him my old jetta and 300 dollars for it. i immediately bought a jdm wrx front clip for the manual trans so i could do a auto to manual swap (the svx was only ever offered in auto) but just after it got to the states, i lost my job, couldnt pay the customs fee, and the US gov. auctioned it off.

i spent nearly 2000 on the clip, and was so heartbroken i couldnt stand to look at the car for nearly 2 years, where it sat on jackstands half ripped apart. i finally get a decent job, and buy a stock auto trans, just so i can get it running, and sell my mazda, and use that money for a 5spd conversion. well, i get the trans in, and finish everything up, and perfect timing, my clutch decides to work on its own accord. im waiting for new tires to get the car running, and park the mazda. the subaru isnt in the gratest shape cosmetically, but theres no rust, just bad pain work. i also recently found out that it was totaled within 5000 miles of its purchase back in 1994, but it looks flawless body wise!

dont mind my lack of punctuation, and bad grammar!
