If I had a lot of money, I'd try to twin-turbo a SVX and then attach a STI 6MT with DCCD. Sounds like a big pain the ass, but 500chp in an SVX? Heh.

You have to put an actuator in the drivers door, which when activated locks/unlocks the rest of the doors. Passenger and rear doors have actuators, drivers dose not. I dont know why. It's the way a central locking system works. I have an actuator for one of our doors lying around somewhere at the a...

Ok then, what would cause hard shifting from 1st to 2nd under light loads or acceleration? I fine under hard acceration. How old the transmission?

I'll bet an ailing Mass Air-Flow sensor is behind this car's trouble as well. I'd check the 22 to make sure it's not a 23.

can you explain what torque bind is and why it could cause this situation? thanks I STRONGLY doubt it's torquebind. It would be far more pronounced than a little bit of wheel hop. Any roaring from the back? Scraping? I wonder if a bushing or your wheel bearing crapped out. It could just be physics ...

I find that if you use car wax on the windshield, you'll find that you don't have to use your wipers very often either. Also, it causes less wear on the wipers.

I'd just use cheap ones though. There's no difference between the cheap ones and the expensive ones.

As far as that goes, most 4 cylinders DO sound like shit and they're almost all inlines. A problem that's exacerbated by all the crooked-hatters with the loud fart cans that wake up a neighborhood as they full throttle accelerate to 60 in 10 secs. The flat four with a decent exhaust sounds more lik...

What you're describing seems very similar to a problem we commonly have in the SVX. If I'm getting this right, if you floor it, it'll go to the top of second and very sloppily shift into 3rd? If so, I would wager that the brake band needs tightened so that doesn't happen.

What you're describing sounds like the Mass Air Flow Sensor is malfunctioning. You should see if replacing it with a known good one fixes the problem.

Why in the world would you swap it? The body is just fine - there'd be no point in doing a swap.

10w-30 I think is what the manual calls for. You can pretty much use anything from 10w-30 to 20w-50 - I've found that the cars are rather versatile in their oil usage. Brand doesn't matter and I'd stay away from synthetic - you'll make your car leak so much oil that way. Dino oil is just fine for yo...

Meh, I've found that the TCU does an adequate job of defining torque split. On my 91, there was never a time where I couldn't get it to 50/50 anyways. On my SVX, it takes a little bit to split enough for the rears to catch (like a car length), but it still catches nonetheless. I figure, if it ain't ...

Gloves for the plug wires. Pull them at the coil.

The knock sensor is located on the drivers side at the back of the intake.

I smell a crack in the coilpack. Maybe an overreacting ECU for a cracked knock sensor.
