There are so many good shots, I can't decide which I like best.
Over the summer assuming things have calmed down a bit for me we should do another shoot.
Make it a whole day thing, sunset, night shots, rolling shots.

Greetings folks, I was due for an appointment near the Airport for a transmission checkup at Northpark but with the traffic I was unable to make it safely. At 6mph my car was in 2nd, tires slid while it shifted to 1st.
I've been checking the Gulf (For sale) section for an auto-tranny, but I'm not certain what would be a fare deal. What I'd like to do is use this as an opportunity for getting the SARX members together. I could learn a little something & also get me back on the street again so I can hookup with the SARX meets.
I've got a two bay garage & plenty of beer or I could come to you.
I'm very impressed with all of the work done on your 8s & would like to learn everything I can about my own car. Eventually I'd like to swap her out for a 6 Port manual. A big job I bet. Lets see how it goes.

A manual swap is not very realalistic in the 8. You would be better off getting a new car. As far as the transmission check in with Curt at revvinsevvins.com . We have had good luck with him in the past. Us SARX guys could most likely replace the transmission for you for much less $$ then the dealer if you want to get the parts.
Keep an eye out here for upcoming SARX events and group meet ups.
I would like to have an informal meet up soon. Maybe after I get my new place ill have a BBQ.

I'll call Curt today. Time is of the essence. I've got a truck to pick it up. I can make my place in Helotes available for an informal meetup or install day, if ya'll would like.
I'd much rather have you guys(& Gal) install for me. I could learn much much more that way.
Let me know if you would like my cell number & address(for a meet).
I'm down for anything, any time, but sooner would be better. haha

350 for the Auto Tranny
350 for the install via Curt.
I'm not certain if the 8 will make it all the way up to Dallas though.
If I can depend on you folks for the install, I can run up there in the Truck, pick up the transmission, and be back by this Sunday.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks again.

Hey dude thanks for stopping by and showing me the new 6. It's a sweet ride man and definitely a better family hauler. Now we have to get a SARX sticker on that bish.
Hector loves racing, that is why he is the SARX Drift King.Hey can someone loan me a bunch of money so I can get the S2 trans, HKS boost controller, and the water meth kit for sale.

Congrats! Happy Wife = Happy Life. Water Meth doesn't make it faster just safer (to be determined if I get it).
