I am real happy with T3 (as always when I visit).

My sunroof was stuck ina real bad partial open postion previous attempts at fixing had resulted in a nasty Crunch sound.

Took the a;lmost 900 mile roundtrip tp T3.

They fixed it with a used unit they happended to have in stock, AND fixed a real vexing electrical problem I had that I <know> would have been beyond nearly any shops ability here ( except maybe the reasonably competent dealer, which would have $100 /hr <if> he had found it)

AND put on new hood shocks ( with units from a wrecked Q)AND fixed my equally vexing centerCap that had a bolt broken that was holding in the centercap and I had gone to numerous places to no avail usually just heard a " go to machine shop" answer.

Now my car is much closer to perfect.

T3 is the best! I'll be making a trek with Q2 in a couple of weeks... I just finished torquing down all of the suspension yesterday, as well as a few other things. Now it's just install a transmission cooler, new t-stat and t-stat cover and annode tube, get an alignment, install new O2 sensors, get the new tires installed, and get it titled. Should take two days, so I'm allowing two weeks :D

What was your electrical issue, the brake lights? Just curious in case it ever happens to me...

Fred,Did you ever figure out that clunking sound? It only happened when you were getting on it.

Sean:I will take a few today or maybe at the meet.

Its the best shape I had it for a while I had the real heavy tint taken out, now the light factory bronze is showing again.

vacuumed all carpets/floormats.Waxing w/ colored wax, runs well now.

Chris: Noise is gone as far as I can tell traced it (we <think>) to vibrating exhaust hitting HICAS linkage.

Fred...:)
