Default wow I fell off the face of the earth

It has been a while since ive been on and posted. Anywho some ppl were pming me wondering how my car and the phamspeed kit doing and well to tell you the truth the car has not made any progress in a year due to some problems with the shop it was getting work done at. Who woulda thought it would take a year to do headgaskets, lifters, and a kmember. But now the guys at gmr speed are taking over and I have complete confidence in them. Hopefuly I will have results later this winter. Also any new news with the rest of you phamspeed guys (i.e. jeremy etc..)?

later
Gary

Thanks man I just want to enjoy the car again. Tooling around in my sixer 99 'bird has me missing the fun of not having to worry about the car bursting into flames. But I miss the power so the car will be fixed. I do have a set of truck manifolds here but i'm debating on what i'll do next. Money is tight these days, but refilling a bottle will get expensive too, whereas I haven't seen what a turbo can really do yet

J,
with your pham kit you have, you could prolly make those parts work or at leats use the Y pipe to make your new kit. Hell if nothing else you have all the expensive parts (turbo/WG/BOV)

I feel your frustration im right there with you
