The transmition cooler went on at the same time as the blower. I check the condition of the fluid often, and with 23k miles, 15k with the blower, it's still fresh, so hopefully I won't have a problem. I'm interested in the transmition upgrade available from Velocity Resources, but probably not unless mine takes a crap. I've accepted the fact that I may have to replace it and it's part of the price to pay when modifying the car to it's limits. I plan on adding an intercooler, engine management, and spinning the blower to it's maximum rpm. That will surely test the limits of the tranny.

You posting this has caused me to definitely plan to get the sc, Modaddict...
Just seeing the same 60' yet you finishing almost .7 seconds quicker and almost 10mph quicker is monumental in my opinion. I, like you, do mostly highway driving and a lot of it near South Florida where it is often wide open. The sc will certainly shine even more from a roll, than the fwd, traction limited problems derrived from zero mph...

Modaddict: I didn't know you lived in Grand Rapids. I have family over there. It's a small city and the only thing I recall seeing over there was a few E36 M3's running around with numbers on the side(assuming they were coming from a SCCA auto-X). But I gotta visit you next time I come in town.

get some suspension, tires, lighter wheels, and a catback exhaust with 2.5 or 2.75 inch piping and you will be running mid 13's. I wonder what a 6 speed cl-s is running. You can run better times than that, because blown accord guys are running 14.2's and one even hits 13.9's modded out.

That California curse!!! Just curious, did you put the plastic shrouding back on the engine? I left it off, I thought it would retain too much heat around the engine.

Wow, 50 to 110 comes very quick! Just took it on the freeway and I'm still getting use to it. Scarry! Too much traffic on LA freeways even at 12 midnight! 0-60? I need to get a stopwatch. Modaddict will have much better times than me, since he has a drop, and other good stuff I don't have.
