New Gears / Trans Plus for "New" 1992

As many of you know, SVXFILES has had my car for a bit to replace the bad trans plus a few "other" things.

I picked up the car today with SVXCESS on hand for the very anticipated occasion (actually, I think John was more excited than I was, and I was REALLY excited about getting the car back to find out about all the magic Tom had worked on the car).

I could not be more pleased!!!!!!!!! I was grinning all the way home too!! The 4.44's are just tremendous!! What a difference along with the new bushings and coupling discs (for the subframe). Not to speak of new spark plugs, brake lines, exhaust system (just beautiful!!), etc. The car runs like a champ!!!!!!!! Tom does some beautiful work!! I would recommend him for ANY work on our SVXi.

To Tom, thanks so much for such a great job!! Something tells me you will have more jobs than you can do!! Good luck on the new enterprise!

Harry
Still grinning from ear to ear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news Harry.

For some time I have been reading between the lines in respect of Tom's posts. There is much evidence that he has his head screwed on. I am not surprised that he also makes a faithful job of screwing things together.

Cheers with compliments to Tom, Trevor.

Well, while Tom's head may be screwed on, we can only guess how far and in which direction Just kidding, Tom does amazing work and is extremely thorough. Congrats Harry on a new moster I know you will like it. Not to mention Tom now turned me on the the idea of making my own rear diff mounts

Tom, Tom,

You too can bang the drum, as my comments apply equally to you.

All we need now is Tom, Tom and Tom.

Good for you, Harry! Glad to hear you've built a beast. Between the 97 and your 92 you have the best of both worlds.

I sure hope I make it there this year. That weekend is also the weekend of my wife's birthday. She already said "hell no" when I told her I wanted to go but she is reconsidering a day trip and will let me know after she has thought about it for a while.

Harry, as you know I'm taking my '92 up in about a week for the 4.44 swap. After all the posts I've read about the swap AND most importantly about Tom's work, I CANNOT WAIT
It's good to know there's someone out there that does quality work on our SVXi. Just wish he was a little closer!
