Yeah, we're seriously into the "function before form" phase. The bodywork will be much, much better eventually. The seats? Well, what can I say, they're race seats

I don't think Tom will have enough megabite space on his web site to put all the work he has done to my car. Tom, when I come down for the steering fix, just have your camera ready and snap all the pictures you need. Catch ya lata.

SVX-->
1) Made custom intake (ToMyx) from scratch paper drawing,
2) Replaced windshield,
3) Transfer clutch,
4) Power drain issue (sticking door lock),
5) Clicking axle when turning left - replaced?
7) Reversed pulley install - @ my house (Embarassed),
8) Stuff I've failed to list

XT6 -->
1) Retapped timing belt tensioner
2) Fixed transfer clutch,
3) Retapped timing belt tensioner,
4) Added SVX lsd to XT6 rear axle (SVXT6) Awesome!,
5) Almost done-->Converting it to 4.44 tranny from 3.70 (He went and got a 4.44 tranny for me since the parts I had were crap), He took on this project when no-one else locally would. And I have been asking for years. Big thanks!


The SVX is running like a bat out of hand and I having problems NOT going WOT just to hear and feel it. These guys are a class act. I rather go to them even though they are 2hrs away from me, then any of my local dealerships.

Tom has also agreed to do a project for me whether he agreed or disagreed that it would work. Kudos!
