    "them OLD peeps"

  2. Just got home...wonderful turnout, nice to see some new faces & rides, great cruise route & luch'n.

    All in all a very enjoyable day. Thanks to Ryan & Jason for their efforts !

    It has certainly become a family friendly club....it is wonderful to see all the kids.

  3. living just 5 minutes down the road from MV, your giving me good reason to do this. Must say with most makes/models I have had with autos - MV has always been the first reference anyone has given - top guys.

    Indeed Aaron...he does different "levels" of the shift kit ranging from softer gear changes to "slamming" into gear for high performance & drag cars.

    I am OLD & just wanted the "softest" change....now there is immediate, no flarring changes & the box is immediately receptive to the increase & decrease

    in revs...it is how it responds rather than the type of response that changes. HOWEVER, when I change over to manual control on the steering

    wheel, it feels just like a manual box change...unreal !

    It actually feels like I have a bigger turbo kicking it...the immediate gear change response is that good...all for $400

  4. After having some serious trans perfomance issues, it was found to be travelling in "safe mode" ie 3rd & reverse gear only

    so I followed the recommendation of some SA forum members & took my baby to Michael @ MV Perfomance Automatics

    ...it required a shift solenoid set to fix the non-selecting gear problem & I agreed to a shift "improver kit" (quick shift) as well.

    It cost $390 for the Shift Solenoid Set (that Nissans wanted almost $900 for) & $350 for the Shift Improver Kit + the trans fluid & gaskets etc $75.

    Now I am a seriously OLD fella but far out, I can not believe the extraordinary difference in it's performance !!

    it is frigg'n AWESOME !!!!.... it is a totally different car.

    If you have not put a quick shift in your auto yet, do it ! It is the best $400 you will ever spend.

  5. This "old" fella is no mechanic, I have checked the trans fluid level & any leaks...all is good....&

    I always warm my 1999/2000 RS4 before driving.

    BUT when the temp gauge is less than "half way" she is a bitch to drive in 1st gear.....sooooooo slow

    to take off....drags it's arse like you wouldn't believe BUT once it's warm it fly's in all gears ! Is it a winter

    issue cause in summer, there is no issue ??

    Thanks for the offer but I need the boot...I can medical 'stuff' that is

  9. As stated, I WANT TO BUY a WRX....will consider a WRX tuned by STI or an STI depending on price

    Prefer 2006 on .....

    MUST be low KM

    MUST be a sedan...Hatch will not be considered

    MUST be straight and clean

    Prefer Blue or Black but will consider White

    Reasonable $$ paid for the right vehicle
