I actually like them... It would've been better if they had an optional manual transmission though...

I couldn't find any parts for them though... Japanparts.com didn't even have a listing for the svx?!?!

Yup. A long time ago I thought what a stupid idea, making no manual available, but for their intended market it actually worked out pretty well for them. I think they sold around 15000 in america, better than the far more respected rx7

I think they weighed about 3600. Not good for a sports car, but it did make a relatively good grand tourer.

as far as weight goes, those of you that know me, know I will probably take out about 10Lbs. of interior so that I can put in about 10 tons of sound system.

but for parts, my main focus is replacement parts, although, its nice to know about any upgrades, if there is any.

thanks for the response

I order majority of my parts online (custom stuff as well as replacement). But if you need emergency stuff, the subaru/cadillac on beretania got parts. So you got a SVX or you planning on getting one? If so, rite on. Keep these rare breeds alive. Not too much left.
