Lan's 94 Subaru SVX LSI AWD with JDM VTD Driveline

1994 Subaru SVX Description

This is the car you've always seen on the ECUtune website and now the Subiechips website. The car you've always seen on the dyno with a prototype performance chip or nitrous system or supercharger. There's a photo album on the Subiechips website where you can walk down memory lane and look at cool SVX stuff. http://www.subiechips.com/photoAlbum.htm
Location of the SVX: Miami, L
Year: 1994
Model: LSI

Miles: A little less than 1600 miles on driveline (Engine, ransmission, nd rear differential). I forgot to record the mileage on the old gauge cluster which I later discarded in a garage clean out so I really can't tell you accurately what the mileage is on the body. The gauge cluster in the car reads 61,011 but the actual mileage is more in the range of 120,000 to 140,000 miles.

Engine Condition: Stellar
JDM Engine with about 1600 miles since I went through it. It was reported to have less than 50,000 miles before I went through it and was in very good condition all around. There is a thread on the SVX World Networkforums with all the details and pictures of this engine when I did the JDM driveline swap. It is located here: JDM driveline swap
Maintenance Records: I try not to let anyone else touch this car. I have about a billion dollars in parts receipts in my tax files which I will dig out for you if you really want them.
Transmission condition: Stellar
JDM VTD transmission with about 1600 miles since I gave it a performance rebuild. There is a thread on the SVX World Networkforums with all the details and pictures of this transmission when I did the JDM driveline swap. It is located here: JDM driveline swap If you aren't familiar with my work, 'm the inventor of the performance rebuild for SVX transmissions. I recently went through the first transmission I ever did the performance rebuild to examine and freshen it up before selling it and after 8 years it showed no signs of wear. You can read some more about my performance transmissions in an SVX World Network forum thread here: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=37433
Glass condition: Excellent
All the windows work properly and have no damage.
Type of tire and remaining tread: BFGoodrich G-force T/A KDW 225-50-16ZR maybe 50% tread
Type of wheels: Stock
Interior condition: It's ready for new leather--particularly the driver's seat.
Body condition: Excellent
This is a 100% Florida car that has never seen a salted road. It has never been crashed. It has no rust and all vin matching doors and body panels. In 2004 the entire car was painted with the best paint available--Dupont Chroma Premier. It is still exceptionally shiny and impressive looking. There are small flaws here and there but it still gives an excellent impression from both far and near. Just recently the hood, oth bumpers and the drivers side skirt were repainted (a propane torch fell off a shelf onto the hood and the bumpers had some scratches).
Comments about the car: Mechanically, his is the best SVX you are ever going to find. It is also very sharp looking. It also sounds awesome. Seriously, t sounds really good. Check out this video to hear for yourself: http://www.subiechips.com/posts/94lsi/Rev.avi . The JDM VTD transmission really performs and drives a lot better than the US MPT version. This is a special SVX without equal.
