Thumbs up Update on my car...LONG

Well February is finally over and here are some of the updates for you guys:

Well I only got to drive my car 4 times this month yesterday being the 4th time!

As you guys know I was in an accident and there was some serious damage done to both of my passenger side doors.

Well I replaced both of the doors and had the entire passenger side of the car repainted and then had the rest of the car Wet Sanded, Compounded, Polished and finally Hand Glazed (now I just need to wax it on a nice day) The shine on the car is amazing the car looks better than new!!! I am very happy with the work of the body shop.

I got the car back Feb 8th and the day I got it back I cleared out my front turn signals (the ones inside the headlight..I finished the write-up I just need some time to upload the pictures)

Went to the first Lexotic Concepts meet we had at SKR on Feb 10th and my car was smoking all the way down there. My transmission was leaking fluid. So I brought the car back down to SKR Feb 11th and they had it for one day, they told me it was my trasmission pan gasket so they replaced it. Got it back the 12th.

Then went to the next Lexotic Concepts meet we had at Rich's house can't remember the day I think Feb 16th or 17th. On the way there my car leaked tranny fluid again and started to smoke.

Sat the car in my garage for the whole week.

Brought the car back down to SKR Feb 23rd. Now they said the front main seal was leaking. They told me they have to pull the tranny out to replace it. Gave them a Tranny cooler to install also. Get a call Feb 25th the shop tells me that the transmission pump seal (o-ring) is leaking also they have to send my tranny out to have it entirely re-sealed...that means all the seals, o-rings, sensors and tranny filter. Feb 26th I called Mo at SRT and purchased a new TC...I said ahh, why the heck not it's already going to be out...might as well! Had Mo ship it right to the shop next day mail. $1779.80(Parts and Labor) later my car is finished!!!

I went to pick it up Feb 28th...all I can say is WOW!!! I would recommend the TC to anyone, man it is really crazy!!! I don't know if anyone else on the eastcoast has it but all I can say is DAMN my car moves like stink!! I've got Drifting around corners down to an art, thanks to E-Shift!!! and there is absolutly no need to ever power brake again...EVER!!!!

Now all I need is some wider wheels and tires for the back!!!!


Well thanks for reading guys and thanks for the support too!!!


***NOTE when I say SKR I mean the shop that is right next door to SKR..One Stop Auto Repair.
