I have no idea as I left Killeen in January of 2010 but still monitor this thread as I know a lot of guys there. I am now in Afghanistan but still staying in touch.

Transmission is coming along good just waiting for new o-rings to get to me then I'll be ready for it to go back in. I should be picking it up sometime this week, just depends on how my schedule goes and when I have free time to pick it up.

And about the clutch i'm hoping it's what English Racing made it out to be. That's make things very good on my end as it's a fairly cheap clutch but can hold the power that I need it to.

I spoke to Jorge via Facebook about getting that imfamous 2.3L engine built that has escaped me for so many years. That is like my Elanor of "Gone In Sixty Seconds".

As for the clutch, that was (is) my deciding factor since ER put their names on the line not to metion that I could not in all good conscious spend over $1,300 for the Exedy.

Willing to draw a 80 mile radius around here to get it done in the next week, I'm sick and tired of vendors taking my money, then refunding it the next week telling me that X, Y, and Z brand down pipes have unknown ETA's.

EDIT - I'm liking the arbitrary Level system, I may have to use the forum like I use BF3.
I know I'm late, but it might be easier to buy one used at this point. I hated Killeen for getting work done to my car. Austin may also be another option for you. You got Cobb, Boost Logic, MZM, etc. If you can make it to Dallas, then KevinD is great.

I'm tracking KevinD, and I purchased a replacement from AWDMotorsports last week. Hopefully it arrives before I head out to Germany so I can get it tuned as well.

We have a TIG welder and some 3" pipe and can fix your downpipe. Won't cost a fortune either.
