Also, on the Thermo mod front, no word from Astroboy . . . if I don't hear from him by the end of next week I say we move on and go with it.

Matter of fact I've lookend in to trading it in, but the resale/trade in value is not good enough.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tranny problem along with other build/design quality issues have resulted in this problem.

besides, and even tho he has a TLS, he got an STi and spends his $$ on it . . . it's not right that he was number 2

No date yet . . . it's not going to be real soon, so maybe a track meet this coming month.
It'll take us a couple of weeks to get the order in . . . assuming the GB works out and then schedule an install.
There is one possible issue with the thermoblock . . . some folks are claiming that the cars are losing coolant and oil . . . no one has an answer as to why that is. And while some think "just check it and add when needed", I'm an old mechanic and that's not the right approach. If this is really happening we need to know why. Where is being lost . . . how? Depending on that it may be ok, but fluid loss of any kind is a serious issue as it could lead to other problems that can effect both long term wear and performance . . . 10hp is not enough to risk this.

The underside of the car, the wheel wells, etc. were spotless. The soap sponge hardly picked up any dirt at all wiping under there. I don't think it ever saw bad weather. So, yeah, I think the guy was straight-up about how well he maintained it. It's truly in like-new condition.
