I BOUGHT The Weirdest SUBARU Ever For $1,000 *Subaru SVX*

- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2019
- I've been searching for another SVX since I couldn't make a deal on that 1993 Subaru SVX LS-L. Plenty of comments suggested that I buy the Hoovie's Garage SVX but I was sure it sold long ago. I was over at the car barn the other day and there it was, sitting outside, and overshadowed by other cool cars. Tyler messaged me a few days ago and said "If you want it, come get it." Zack and I hopped in his Subaru WRX and headed over to meet Tyler and pick up the 1994 Subaru SVX LSi. This old grand touring Subaru is straight piped and the EG33 H6 engine screams like an exotic car close to redline. We'll have to make another video just to go over the car, there's more than enough talk about!

The amount of pure charisma Hoovie's got, I'm surprised this guy did not pick acting and is not in movies.
He’s on TV
Car Issues on FYI network.
Hoovie's demeanor and mannerisms and even his voice has always reminded me of Jeff Goldblum. 😜 👍😎👍
@68Camaro RS/SS you've read more than 1 comment from me?
Why because he is a rich guy he is a movie star ?
"Runs and drives, has ac" You just sold a car in Florida.
Put some tint on it, then yes
Or in Philly (I just moved here from Key West). This car is a bargain (wait no...its a waste...sell it to me).
You ain't lying 😂
Same goes for Texas.
I have owned so many cars in Florida that would not even be allowed to get registered due to inspection had I still lived in New York. It's crazy how the rules vary so much from state to state. I just pray Florida never gets emission testing.
@@InFiD3ViL1 Forreal. You can get just about any vehicle registered with no issues here. But the insurance is also higher than many states. My mom's insurance was like $250 a month whereas my stepdad's was only $80 up in NC.
Love how he finds the rarest cool older cars & wants them to live once more.. Great content for the channel.
Tyler always has an expression of borderline distaste. Maybe it's just confusion.
That's the smug look that all rich people make
That's a pretty sweet thumbnail.
The Hybrid Ceramic Wax works way better than it has any right to. I have it on my LS400 and it's borderline magic if you apply it correctly.
I subbed to you when you were at 3.2k and look at you now 6 or so months later your at 75k keep up the good work man your videos have good content
Your divers window may not go up/down due to window clip failure. They are available from Subaru and take about 20 minutes to put in. They cost less than $15.00
12:12 Blinker Fluid Service complete!!
Awesome John! I remember when Tyler bought that, I just assumed he had resold it as well. It cleans up very nice, good score for $1k!👍
Cool car! Looking forward to seeing you wrench on it
I bought a 92 in 2002....ran it till 2010, was a great car, only very pricey to repair.....SVX love.
dude! these cars are sick! I am excited for this series
I had a 1992 :( rusty frame so I ended up selling it , which I still had it 😭 can’t wait to see this thing done
Two of my favourite car youtubers in the same video with a car i'm deffinately drooling for, i'm not into subaru's but i love this one and how small it is but lots of power. Pretty cool.
Nice! love the svx, hope to see more videos of these one
Definitely need more svx videos, I love that thing if I find one I want to keep it, anything odd is great, because at least it tried to be different
So Radio, Proper Exhaust System, Belts, Cleaning and Detailing and Flipped.
used to have an svx. If you mash down the gas pedal, let off , and mash it down again your activate "power mode". A light turn on in the instrument panel that says "power".
He WalchJRGo I used to have a 94 svx. One of the few things i did to it was putting in a remote switch in place if the 20 amp fuse. To turn on and off the awd. Just rember to put in a 20 amp inline fuse. By doing this you you will make it a front wheel drive and gane about. And put in a true twin exhaust with x pipe with a k&n filter. Then you will gain to 20 + horsepower depending on the condition of your car.
Compared to the plans Tyler originally had for this car I'm glad it went to someone who will take care of it. Looking forward to future SVX videos!
Man I cant believe it, I actually love how that thing sounds with the exhaust like that lol
If you use Rain X window washer, you will never use any other window washer fluid.
That plus the rainx window water repellent and you'll never need wipers again
It is still the best, but it used to be so much better that it is disappointing.
You guys are great! Including Hoovie! I love to watch millennial children at play. Donuts in the pasture. 😂🤣
@@N1sm0NIC if you live in desert you'll never need wipers or rain-x
Remember seeing one of these for the first time back in 1994 in Myrtle Beach
Sweet find bud, Always wanted one of those!!
Nice.. Looking forward to some more vids on this one..
JR was genuinely impressed with how many things worked in this car lol..usually at that price most things don't work.
I would like to see a video on how you modified your air tank and how it's better than original.
Use to love them svx if remember the windowdont open the whole way right? It's like the bottom half. Friend in high school his farther had one it was so differant lol...
14:55 I see you topped off the blinker fluid
@WatchJRGo, I know your all into unusual cars out of the norm, but what are your thoughts on the BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R? I eventually want to get one after I pay off my Jeep JK and fix all its Tyler Hoover-esq problems.
But it is a 6 Cylinder Boxer engine the EG33 model 3.3-liter boxer horizontally opposed flat-six. Cool!
holy shit do they make UEL headers for these?? Must sound amazing with a rumble!
I tried my hand at car sales when I was younger and worked at a Pontiac/Subaru dealership. I used to get to drive the SVX's when they were brand new.
just got one myself for the same price, svx-lsi has a wrx 5 speed and sti exhaust from previous owner.
Beautiful car men, great engine with a 3.3 L with 6 cylinder and 230hp, great how you find those cars!!!
This thing is sweet. I'm glad you were able to get it from Tyler too.
I remember Subaru's of that era were notorious for coolant leaks for a cheap gasket that was always located in a tight spot that sucked to access and required a lot of disassembly to even get to. @12:15 there is proof that a car has blinker fluid reservoir!
The only time I’ve ever seen an SVX was at Monterrey car week at Vehicle Virgins fan meet up lmao. The svx was parked across from parkers 458 speciale aperta
Amber and I will be there this year, say hi if you see us! 🍻
2 of my favorite car youtubers
I have had 2 SVX's they are fun cars but they do have a few problems, the earlier models like 92 maybe up till 94 had weak transmissions, not really weak but not big enough for the car size, they were 4EAT models. Most Subarus "I have had 7 and still have 2" tend to leak oil on the exhaust and smell of burned oil. the rear wheel bearings are somewhat undersized too and they too tend to go bad more often than other cars. The boxer 6 is a pretty peppy engine, I really liked the two I had, I first got familiar with Subarus when I bought my first XT another fun little Suby.
That exhaust. I don't know what to say. Sounds soooo sick! I lucked out in a car buy. I got a 97 protege for 1200 and everything works on it.
I never heard of the Subaru SVX and got a Matchbox one from Target today.
I actually drove this car in college. My roommate owned one and I learned how to drive a stick shift with it. It handled well but was severely under-powered with the base engine. That car was amazing though and a lot of fun to drive. He did doughnuts in the parking lot in the winter with a lot of snow which was crazy fun. Enjoy that car, it is a blast to drive.
I have owned 22 cars in my lifetime and my 92 and 95 svx, 05 A8 are the most memorable for good reasons
Had a 94 Legacy wagon same color combination.... It was a RACE car! lol
That car deserves better than Tyler, glad to see it finally get some attention
Agreed
I picked up a Fwd SVX for $600 about 5 years ago and drove it every day for about a year until the transmission went out. these eg33s sound badass
Lol I don't think I would feel safe buying a car from hoovie! I've watched his videos!🤣
Damn thought hoovie was going to keep thisone. Still love the Guigaro lines on this car and the 1993-1997 Lexus Gs
"Glued to the ground - impressive". In Hoovies world it's normal. Impressive would be glued to the ground with 4 hole sin engine, leaking rear diff and being THE CHEAPEST subaru in the states.
I really like the svx hopefully you will keep it for a while
Put a nice stereo in the car and fix the torn drivers seat
Maybe manual swap trans
WOW! An old friend....
I bought this car new...well, over a year after it sat on the lot for over a year...It was a great car (at first)but chewed tires at an alarming rate with my
Wait, so you paid $1000 for a rusty svx that stood in a field? For once, Hoover hustled someone else!
It's a really good car. I am amazed how much stuff works too.
I like it for $1,000 although I like black cars better.
@@1XSTEALTHTWINTURBOX1 I ALWAYS wanted one of these, no matter how much trouble they can be.
well, I for one wouldn't have paid more than $400
@@goclunker junkyards out here pay more than $400 for broken cars.
After you went and saw the first one you didn’t buy I saw one in person around here in Chicago. You don’t notice things until you see them in other places.
Most of them rusted out here in Chicago winters
I had one of these years ago at the time there were 26 iirc in the UK ,quirky beast to own/drive
back seat is useless ,mine had a speed limiter at bang on 144 mph via sat nav
Love the crossover episodes!! Like Scooby Doo with Batman.
Saw title and wished it was Hoovie's car. As always, JR doesn't disappoint.
Hoovie had me rolling this whole video he has got to be a lokey pothead
An old timer showed me that using Molykote 111 grease on rubber seals (such as door seals, t-top seals, etc.) will soften them back to factory and make them seal again. Try that to fix your water leaking window run channel and any other rubber seal on the body! I would apply it and let it sit overnight and wipe it off in the morning followed by a silicone spray, made everything like new again.
Can you please find a 1989 Acura Integra RS or LS model? This was a car that my folks drove - as one of their first cars. it'd be cool to see one restoreD!
When he was filling up the back window washer reservoir it looked like he was filling up the headlight with blinker fluid lol
My favorite older Subie!
It’s just so weird that you love driving it 🤙
You need to get you a Cadillac Allante. I just bought one on Ebay by mistake. ( I bid so low I just Knew I would get outbid but I didn't!) It is a very beautiful and unusual car with it's own set of quirks.
@Dirtyd23 Yes I know, but I'm not going to sell it any time soon. Just thought he should get one too since he buys almost everything else. I would love to see what he would do with it.
Baller move with the sunroof!
You picked a good one bro. Sick car looked for one myself.
Can I get some recommendations for a good clay bar? Synthetic or otherwise?
It's fun to see JR wearing Apple Watch while Tyler is wearing Rolex GMT II Master.
Looks like a keeper it's bin well looked after
These things are crazy rare these days. I just saw one at a car show today... sweeeeeet
I always thought that window design was the craziest thing! That looks annoying from the interior to see the line in the glass where the window that rolls up and down meets the window that doesn't.
I hope you do an exhaust note comparison with this SVX and the R8 once it's running again. LOL it'd be amazing if the Subaru was louder.
12:18 .... that car is so weird it has blinker fluid...
I'd really forgotten how COOL the svx looks and that one sounds cooler than a 911rsr
Glad to see another SVXer
Put a five or six speed dccd (driver controled centre differential) transmision in it and a propper exhaust.
hey i found your channel whenever you liked some of my photos on instagram. liking the content!!!!
Deep inside I'm happy that you bought it, b/c I know you will take care of it and restore it (partially) to it's former glory.
Another sweetheart deal for $1,000. Here in Mississippi, such nice used cars for so cheap are almost impossible to find. $5,000 at least is what something like that would run you.
you need to keep going with the weird car collection .
How about a Merkur XR4ti Mitsubishi Starion and an AMC Eagle SX4 ?
It would be a challenge to find an xr4ti but a worthwhile quest.
Yes this!
Every XR4ti I find is a rust bucket 😢 I will own each of the Merkur's at some point!
@@WatchJRGo Scorpio included? How about Sterling 825 &827 Peugeot 405mi16...
@@unclejoe6811 There is one in Bellingham, Washington. for sale
oh u should try and find a subaru vortex turbo i have only ever seen one ever
Alert the Media! Hoovie got more than he paid for a car! (If you don't count the Wheeezard)! Can't wait to see the progress.
7:46 Sounds like it has an RB26 under the hood lol
The rear sprayer works i could hear the pump, you need to add water.
If you can get this thing properly sorted, you'll have a sweet little ride. Always liked the SVX.
ho crap 12:15 I didn't know there was a rear reservoir and I legit thought "taillight fluid?!?!" for a sec
I wanted this thing as soon as Hoovie bought it.. Good luck with it.
This is one of my favorite Subarus I've ever owned.
Is that a safe way to clean a engine bay? Or was this just for quick clean?
JR how long does that coating last on the car?
Love the svx. I've always wanted one.
I love those SVXs, such cool cars. Please consider doing a manual swap if that is possible, these cars were only available with automatic transmissions from the factory and a 5 or 6-speed SVX would make a cool car even cooler if it can be done.
I drove one of these waaay back when I worked at a auto body shop.. it was very slow and strange looking, that's all I remember from it lol.
My first car was an 92 subaru svx lsl the flat six sounded great also they are pretty rare with only 14,000 ever imported to the united states and 25,000 in the world !
I love those! So beautiful!
this is nuts ive watched hooviez garage for a little while and didnt have a clue i knew him too. its a small world
Glad to see Tyler spun that thing off, he made maybe one video with it?
michelinman 8592 I only remember him talking about it maybe one or two times and that’s it.
How is the Tracker doing ?
i think 94 is the perfect year. 94 things are updated, 95 things get complicated. i have a 94 previa I LOVE! but i want one of these.
That O'Reilly's guy looks like the singer from Relient K.
Sold these new back when they were new.Cool cars.Perfect flip for you.
That's an awesome car love it! Great find for 1000 dollars
