The "New Thread" button should be relocated at the bottom of the website, it would at least increase the chances that people will spot the relevant stickies as they scroll their way down.

Fixed it for you.

Anyway, don't waste your money with that piece of crap. Enough said.

Thanks mochie for the only useful response. I'm going to ad a level 10 custom torque converter, cobb tuner and around a 75 shot of nitrous and call it done. Fi is too much trouble for me.

I would just stick to some of the name brands like Greddy, etc... You get what you pay for. There are plenty of places that sell the Greddy kit...
