History
In the early 2000s, shortly after the SVX finished its production run, enthusiasts congregated online in the form of a Yahoo club. As the online enthusiast presence grew, so did the need for a better platform to house the vast amounts of information needing to be stored and retrieved by SVX fans. This is where the SVX World Network comes in. The World Network was, and still is today, the largest collection of information created from years of users contributing knowledge and discoveries in their own SVX ownership journeys, allowing others access to a wealth of information to help them in similar pursuits. This forum was ripe with discussion posts leading to plenty of new knowledge as well as new friendships. However, in any community with such an active user-base, some people are bound to disagree, leading to falling-outs. This happened with one particular member of the community, which lead him to create his own SVX forum website, the SVX World Forums, to directly compete against the SVX World Network. The once unified network became split into two. The two pages were often referred to as the "light side" and the "dark side" due to the background color for the World Network being white and the World Forums being black. SVX NATION was founded September 27th, 2015 by a couple of younger enthusiasts who saw the current segregated forum websites, and came up with the idea of launching a Facebook group to unite the two sides into one central hub for owners and enthusiasts to share knowledge, pictures, videos, and ideas and to do it in a matter much quicker and easier than the forums had allowed.
Today, SVX NATION is now the largest active community of enthusiasts from across the globe at over 5000 members strong. Join our community by clicking the Facebook link below.

I have been with this community since day 1. Created the name with a friend who did the initial work, now it's the whole team and I! I owned a 1992 SVX LS-L. It was a 5 speed manual with Gecko Coilovers, everything we offer on the site and 18" wheels. I regret selling! SVX Nation has given me the opportunity to make many friends around the world. I love our members!

I bought my first SVX and first car (a 1993 Anniversary Edition) in 2015 and joined SVX Nation shortly after. I've owned 6 SVX since then, and I'm still just as obsessed with these weird little cars as I've ever been. I currently have a '92 Liquid Silver with a 5 speed, and a bunch of rare parts. I'm grateful for this community and these cars which have helped me learn so much!

I've been in the SVX community since 2010 and owned mine since 2012. Recently she has gotten an aftermarket Speeduino ECU, WRX airbag suspension, as well as a JDM Spec B 6MT transmission swap. I've loved this car for a long time and until my recent Land Rover endeavors have been avidly a Subaru only household. I've loved being a part of this group as it grew from a small idea to the 5k+ member community it is today.

California born and raised. I've been an SVX owner since 2013, starting with a 1992 LS-L. I learned a lot with that car, which I have now applied to my current 1992 "LaGreena" and 1995 "Cherí". I have always been a Subaru enthusiast and enjoy representing a car that few know, but everyone seems to admire.

I'm from Sacramento California. One could say I'm a SVX addict. Currently on SVX #10. I love the strange looks theses cars get. My current mods are WRX 6 speed, 6 pot Brembos, custom exhaust, and Gecko coilovers. Follow me on Instagram at @svxpert. I'm always willing to share my wisdom with you!

I got my first car in 2010/2011, an ebony pearl 1997 Subaru SVX LSi. 6 years later, I bought my second car, a dark teal metallic 1992 SVX LS. I have two other Subarus, but SVX is life!
