Hi Guys
I recently bought a S1 stagea (with the 'A' series auto box) with a few mods. It has the following:
FMIC,
3in turboback
highflow
Microtech LT10s
Rising rate reg
I bought it with a busted motor from a guy that only had it for a month. The previous owner knows little about it and he bought it assuming the motor was ok, but it broke on his trip home so he decided to cut his losses and sell it. I've never driven the car.
He couldn't tell me much about the car other than what you could physically see. He didn't know it had a highflow, and he didn't know what the rising reg was.
I'm assuming that at some stage it was making a reasonable amount of power, and given the microtech can't retard the timing on gearchanges, it may have a shift kit. Otherwise i'm guessing the auto wouldn't survive big power and no timing retarding
The car is currently off the road with the engine out, and i figured this was a good time to get a shift kit if it didn't already have one. The problem is i don't want to buy a shift kit if it already has one.
So assuming I can open up the box and remove the VB, and have a stock auto to compare to, how do I tell if the thing has a shift kit in it? I'm hoping that you people who have installed them yourself might be able to help
Cheers
Anthony
