Finally got her back! So I dropped my car off at a local mechanic shop for what I thought would be a quick header gasket bolt removal. This guy is a local drag racer and reputable in the area, also owns an exhaust shop. Previous owner broke a bolt off while installing, causing a horrible leak. Sounded like crap! Well after having it for almost a month I picked it back up yesterday. Not only did the mechanic fix the bolt, he also installed new gaskets. I bought a set of Percy Seal 4 Good to throw on it as well as new ARP bolts. He ended up dropping the K-member to get the job done. While in there he noticed some wires that lead to the starter were starting to burn up. He replaced all those wires and also ran new wires to my O2 sensors. Wrapped the wires in heat sleeves and built me brand new collectors. He also bent the headers a little bit to allow me room to tighten them up without having to remove the K-member again. Also replaced the plugs and hung the exhaust the way it should have been in the first place, It was sitting pretty low under the car. The car sounds freaking amazing now! I'll just consider this an early Christmas present!

He did mention how much of a pain in the A$$ these cars are to work on. But then we proceeded to have a good, lengthy talk about how much fun they are to drive.
