I think I remember reading about this guy's work while web surfing a while ago, if its the same guy. Its like one of the first known manual swaps. Sucks about the body damage... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SVX-...ryZ31871QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I know of a local one with a 5mt that was for sale if anyone is interested. A SVX with a 5spd is a thing of beauty. I am pretty close to finishing my swap and can't wait to drive it.
I think I know which one you are talking about. Its pretty and is very quick. It was as fast as my stock 06 WRX in a straight line and much faster in the corners.
it weighs only slightly less, and its very squat, so I can see that.l IN the latest subie sport, someone is talking about an sti 6spd drop in theirs.
