Just got a quote from MV Automatice to fit the Transgo kit, $450-480 for fitting, pretty happy with that. Also getting a price from my brothers work mate that is a qualified trans mechanic.

Still tossing up if Ill have a crack myself, doesn't look too hard. Either way would like it fitted in the next couple weeks.

Yeah it includes fluid. That's my thinking also. From Craig it would be about $250 installed and returned to me plus about $100 for oil and my stuffing around to remove and refit the valve body, and the car off the road for what would end up taking a week. I can drop the car off to MV on a Thursday and pick it up on the Friday all done for $450-480.

Craig is a great option for guys living near him but I think MV is a better option for us SA guys.

Bahhhaaa.....Btw....did a VB for steve in Qld....vb taken out Sunday night by him the picked up and sent to me on Monday via TNT(my account)...he had it back and ready to install on Wednesday morning.

Just an FYI!!!

Yep, the service was awesome.....thanks again craig!

Removing and reinstalling the vb really is quite easy, it's just messy and transmission fluid is seriously stinky. I took craigs advice and left a drop sheet down, then tossed it afterwards.

It took me a little while to get the fluid levels right as what I assumed was the cold level (the cross hatched area on the dipstick) meant that once hot, the levels were totally wrong and didnt line up with the "hot"'markers......

Once that was sorted though, the car is sooooo much better to drive.

Better in drive, better in manual, super smooth on light throttle, nice and firm when you get your foot into it.

In short, get Craig to modify the vb and do the removal/Instal yourself!

If anyone was umm'ing and ahhh'ing about getting this, DO IT!!

Sooo much better. Thanks to Craig and Iian for doing the work :)

Also sorry for doing an Andy hahaha.

Time to source some awsome.

You offered to try and unplug it when Craig wanted to throw my valve body across the workshop. That's enough to get some credit for the work lol.

Maybe that's why craigs is tempremental and forgetful, it doesn't want to remember its past lol

Guys just letting you know that there is now an installer in Victoria (Scott) and radelaide (Paul). Kits are still available through me and I am still trying to get them cheaper. My next order is ready to jump on.

Craig, can you organise an installer in Newrybar?

lolz.......next time I'm up at the farm I could show you.....then you'll be trained! :P

Do I get a certificate?

What are you doing next week? I might pull mine apart this weekend & send it to you if you can fit me into your schedule.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
