Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
So in the email I thought somebody mentioned a pickup full of spare SVX parts, but I cannot find who it is in the blog. My Teal 1992 LS had the alternator crap out at 105,000. That put some wobble in the main belt. That loosened the bolt on the pulley on the right side cam shaft, and a rocking pulley tore up the camshaft. No parts. I bought an engine from a wrecked '97 with 75,000 miles on it. Pulling out the camshaft and replacing the old shaft now. She will be good as new in May and she loves road trips.
If anyone needs an odd engine part, let me know. We can all share. |

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Mechanic is just removing my camshaft from its brethren engine parts. Will ask him about AC compressor. Has there been any recent updates on Lafayette in May?

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Don’t worry about showing up in something besides an SVX. A nice Bentley 1960 S2 HJ Mulliner body Continental will do well.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
No, nothing else that I know of. One of my biggest concerns is, if they are going to do a factory tour as in years past, when will that be? If it's on Friday, I probably won't make it there in time as I'll be driving that day. In any event, we'll see.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
All the cars and one truck have all been to Reading when I owned them, and there have been an odd assortment of other interesting cars to show up as well. Would love to see an older Bentley there.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
I checked my parts engine. Sad to say it is stripped of accessories. No AC compressor for you.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
AC compressor can be rebuilt. I sent mine to a firm in Texas.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
At this point two months to go, do we have any idea how many attendees there might be for this event?

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
This is the latest from SVXNATION. I have some doubts about turnout based on questionable gas prices and available parking for a large group. Plus the early morning plant tour

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
I appreciate the update on potential numbers. Actually, better than I expected it to be, and I agree there may be fall out due to gas prices. Selfishly, I did not want to drive all the way from CA if there were only going to be a small handful of SVX there.
I believe I indicated I was a maybe, but I will most likely be there. The only question is if it's in my SVX or my Outback. Planning SVX at this point. Keep us posted on any new developments please.
