Why to buy from svxfiles
I know this probably should be in the customer review forum but this is truly a SVX specific thread.
svxfiles has a plethora of parts available for the SVX community. Not only is he a great resource for rare stock parts for replacements but he is also a courier of svs specific modifications and NEW parts. For example I have purchased the following from him in the past 1. 5k HID's 2. 2 NEW front axles(damn all that torque) 3. Numerous driveshafts 4. Fiberglass hood 5. Front Differentials 6. Main fusebox 7. Tail housing 8. Transfer clutchs 9. Solenoid C 10. Asti 11. More asti 12. 20 min $20 mod 13. And some stuff I cannot remember Not to mention he has been the source of great knowledge to me as well. Whenever I am stuck or I need a second opinion, i can call him and ask. He has put countless hours of his days to my assistance. He has also shown me how to do a great deal, for example swapping the LSD carrier over to a non-lsd 4.44 or 4.11 rear and how to build my own equal length headers. He truly is a great person and a great business person to deal with. I know he has a never ending line of satisfied customers when it comes to dealing with his work on the cars too. He has come up with countless innovations for the car as well. Some of them including his quick and painless suspension mods as well as poly rear diff bushings. I mean, he is priceless to this community and I feel obligated to point this out. Such a man can only be complimented with the same caliber lady. That being Di, a green eyed lady of course Their hospitality has been shown through various meets and social occasions. I just wanted to post to be sure he gets the respect he deserves. Tom |

Customer serv.......
Can he install a 4.44 into my XT6? I have the parts waiting in my basement right now. I can even drop the XT6 off. I just want it back by 1/15/08, just in time for the heavy snow season. Hrrm...can't think of any SVX parts I would need at the moment though. I will think of something.

I have been very impressed with Di too. Ooooops this is about Tom, isn't it.
Tom is great. I can hardly wait to see him (and Di) and everyone else again at Reading this next year. I just wish I was closer to his shop, and be able to learn more from him. He is truly an ass it to our community. He has brought one of the best modifications to our cars to us which is the HID mod. Long live asti!!!!

Go Toms go!
He helped me numerous times as well such as sourcing my 4.44 rear diff, my front bumper after the accident and trying to work things out with my body shop that in the end totalled my car out, providing the hids and always willing to take the time to answer a quick question or even stupid questions... thanks again... and also to everyone in this great community

Tom, I would like to say that is a truly class act.
Many people would look at you and OT and consider you competitors in the SVX repair/mod business. I know you are and are not at the same time. I have a feeling that SVXAPEAL, my fiancee, will be stopping in at OTs place for work this winter. I should be hitting you up for the 5 speed conversion kit next spring/summer. It is great to have 2 such competent people to choose from for a limited production vehicle. A hearty thanks to BOTH of you... Jim

When Tom and I come up with something new we are usually sharing it with each other first. We also agree on pricing for labor etc... in order to not undercut eachother. i have recently left him with one of my 5mt X-members in order for him to make a jig and begin his own production as well so he is not the middle man for the kit and can get his full worth out of a manual conversion. He is a great guy and I feel confident in trusting him with my ideas and designs as I hope he does with me Tom |

Proof that the SVX owners are a Family.
If I had a hat on... it would be off to both of you. Jim
