SVX By Tom!
Soooo...my '96 was getting tired and resigned to my garage as I traveled with the Navy and my company these last 18 months. To get ready for summer and add a few years to her life, I looked up Tom - fortunately he's only an hour away. What's been done:

* Rear wheel bearing/housing
* Engine seals, rear plate
* Timing belt/water pump
* Yellow top deep cycle battery
* Front U-joint (was impressivly trashed)
* LH and RH front driveshafts
***And best of all Koni w/coil-overs on all 4 corners

She's a whole new car. I NEVER knew an SVX could handle this well. No stink sitting at idle, powerful launches. The ride home through SJ twisties, the pine barrens (didn't see Paulie Walnuts or the Russian guy) and finally the Atlantic City Expressway were some of the finest miles my '96 has given me!

Kudos to Tom - WORLD-CLASS SVX EXPERT!!
