Haha...

I just got everything back from Jet-Hot too: 2-piece cross-over, along with 3" Down-pipe and 3" Test-Pipe (All of this plus the Borla XR-1 cat-back is from SFR).

I can't wait to get it back together. It's been about 6-months now, since I travel so much for work, and the car is 2+ hours away, it makes it difficult to get weekends to work on the car.

I know how you feel.

Mine has been out of service for 1.5 years.

Doing a complete rebuild. I have a LSD transaxle, 6 puck SPEC, TechGT, 72lbs. injectors are going in.

I can't wait to get her back together. My MAF is coming off. Pulled the main harness and computers out of it yesterday.

All will be for sale soon.

A exhaust is on my list of goodies as well.

The last time I took a part to a machine shop to remove a broken stud, they botched it and had to weld and retap it. Since then, I just center punch broken studs, and use progressively larger drill bits until it comes out. Worst case, drill and helicoil.

I should have done mine myself. I found a reputable shop near me. Took the part in, they quoted me to have the job done. They called me just before I left work last night, and they said it was going to be about three times the price... Needless to say, very upset, and am definitely paying for it now.

I should have just tried my luck with an easy-out. I obviously couldn't have done any worse than they did!!
