Update: Car is back in my possession but not for long. The over heating problem has been dealt with, I think it was not having enough coolant in the system to keep up with the heater. Shifter has loosened up alittle bit, but is still not right. 1-5 shifts are all back to normal, its just really hard getting the car in reverse.

Car is going back on Thursday-Friday to get my K-member dent fixed and re-welded and these camber plates installed:

Thennnn, hopefully I will get my car back early next week and get an alignment and will take a 150 mile trip to test everything out.

it shut down on him about two weeks ago while on his way back from gainsville. I believe it was his battery.

Right now i think he is in new mexico for a month or so.

Yes, I had two problems, the first being my laptop died on me, the second being I forgot to tighten the terminals on my battery so I had a loose connection and the car was draining battery but not recharging (car stalled and had no battery to restart, but when jumped it started right up).

Anyway, I have been out of state for 6 weeks and she fired right up from her hibernation. The fate of the car is still uncertain.

Hey Kevin,

You have a trubendz exhuast right? Is it the whole cat-back or just the rear section? Random question: do you still get lots of pop's and backfires with it like the stock exhaust does? Thanks!

Yes I do, I have a 2.5 inch cat back with no resonator, magnaflow muffler. When the car was NA it would pop and backfire, still does that with the turbo but sounds completely different.
