Usually when you're talking brakes, aren't the rotors made of steel or (less commonly) carbon, while only the pads are ceramic?..

Rotors are almost always cast from gray iron made to SAE specification J431 G3000. I know this because I've researched having rotors cast for my truck.

Nope. I think the last 2 or 3 years were, but by then Subaru had pretty much given up FWD in North America.

Correct. They sold them in MY 1992 - 1997 in North America, but the only years you could get an SVX in FWD were '94-95.

I will actually have a black AWD '92 with a gear ratio upgrade for sale in probably 4-5 months, if all goes as planned. Probably gonna ask ~$1k for it.

EDIT: That ~20k mile '97 posted above is a rare find indeed. They only made / sold 640 '97 SVXs in NA, and it was the final year of production. The low total production / newest available model year combo alone makes the '97s quite sought after (as the SVX goes, anyway) and the low mileage / condition of that particular one makes it especially valuable. Plus, the '97s came with a '97-only grille that most think looks better than the "waterfall" grille that came on all other model years. It is the first thing to be sold in the rare event a '97 gets parted out. I went ahead and cross-posted that to an SVX board, since stuff like this doesn't come along very often.

Using the same Chuck Norris / Makes you a man /Ninja fighting bullshit that craigslist/ebay/etc posters seem to think is funny and original. This is a variation on a theme.

You can't browse craigslist classifieds without hitting one of these.

What kind of person can afford(?) a Z06 and then decides that it needs some really terrible door hinges, to boot?


If we're talking appropriateness of scissor doors, the shape of a Corvette is close enough to a Murcielago. It's low to the ground so you sit on the floor and stretch your legs out.

But it seems that every car with scissor doors or non standard hinges (Murci, M-B SLR, M-B SLS) has incredibly thick door sills that go up to thigh height. Why is this?

It's a tomboy Jeep. It climbs trees like the guys do, but not as well. It's like a performance ZX2 or Eclipse. It's still a chick car, but it might go fast or look good ...
