No problem, glad you got it and all is good. I'd suggest when you get the torque converter installed, do the rear main seal also

Looking to go with a Rotrex SC

Yeah definitely will be replacing that seal. Just have to make some time for the install. Btw did you install an aftermarket trans cooler ?

Looking forward to that SC install. Did you locate one already ?

Yeah, I have a Mishimoto one with fan on it

Yep, I've located the bracket for it, I'll just need the S/C unit itself, intercooler, and piping.

Seriously? S/C? You are like two weeks ahead of everything I'm buying. I'll post my build next year so people think it's fresh, ha ha.

Well it might not be til just after new year. I'm going to grab some cams out of another GS, have them sent to Kelford down in NZ and have some cams made specifically for my application. That alone is about a 2 month process.

Don't worry man, just build it up, I'd love to see it myself. At least it's not another GS dumped on it's ***


Also; got some Cusco bracing today, waiting on the front sway bar to come from Cusco.

That's the plan. Thinking of doing the rear uppers while I'm at it.

I like it, feels a little more rigid and held together when going hard. I got mine from Circuit Motorsports

So last night my transmission decided to run out of talent
I'm honestly not surprised by the way I abuse it, but I'm a little mad it's so fragile.
Getting a new trans to hold it down until I manual swap it

Pretty hard honestly lol
I don't think I'm ever not in M mode
I knew of the weak point of 2->3 shift, but thought "my car doesn't have that much power how bad can it be?" Well now I learned not to go WOT through the gears over and over and over lol
