A few more weeks of use confirms that this is a very nice ride. The auto-box versatility continues to impress, but in "Sport" mode it does not kick down as fast as the old , but built, 4eat. Perhaps that is left to the manual mode. However, the launch from first in the manual mode has not ...

On Wednesday, bought a 2005 2.5 GT Wagon--I'm calling it a Turbo Wagon. Acceleration is better than I expected, and the 5eat sports shift is versatile . "Drive" provides shifting with economy in mind. "Sport" is just that--fully automatic. The manual control with the +, or - posi...

I've sold my Wagon.

It was time to move on and I told the speed shop that did a lot of the work that it was for sale.

One of the young guys has a hot 510 that was prepped out there and one drive and the transaction was done.

So no more posts on the "built" 4eat from me.

I believe it has been done, but you have to undo BOTH drive trains.

Service guy at a nearby dealer told me that they were available a year or so ago.

Does anyone have a Spec B , with an auto-tranny for sale?

I've sold my 93 Turbo Wagon

Anyone heard from Ciper lately?

I have some 4eat goodies for him.

For specs on the converter---- www.ipttrans.com

It's meant for the 4eat street use.

Gives one H...of a launch.

Same site for the electronic manual shift controller.

If someone can use them--let me know.

I'm about to sell my Turbo Wagon. One of the guys at the speed shop will likely buy it, and one of the thoughts was to put a serious STI engine in it. My response is that the 2.2 closed deck is a good engine and the one in my Wagon is still sound. Suggested putting in a more sophisticated waste gate...

Four years ago the Toyo Proxes were the recommended tire.

What are the best ones now?

On the launch as well as going along slowly at about 30 klicks --I miss the high-stall converter.

It was so quick.

1993 Turbo Wagon: AP Racing brakes, DMS 40 mm coilovers. The shocks have 30 clicks from soft to firm, and the springs are 225 front and 180 rear. Also have springs rated at 200 front and 160 rear. The DMS setup is adjustable in ride height and the springs provide full, rather than reduced travel. Wh...

For the past few years I had been talking to the guys about making a new tank. But, it took the failure to make it happen. The shop specializes in high-performance cars and is not set up to fabricate tanks at a competitive price. They took the measurements from the existing tank and made it simpler ...

Coolant Tank After owning my t wgn for 6, or so, years and being very careful with the fragile tank and its connections--it failed. :cry: That was on Monday night and noticed at a stop as steam was floating around. The diagnosis was easy and made before I got out of the car. :roll: Made it home and ...

If you are having trouble with rear traction, it is usually steep enough that the front wheel starts to lift off the ground.

Now that is something + + +

Checked on Feb 23.

Had been running along a main thoroughfare at a steady 60 klicks for a number of miles. As in no launches or foot on the floor accelerations. Turn off and come to a 4-way stop, with a slight upgrade. In fourth, were it usually is, and in attempting to get through the intersection--engine spins with ...

I sort of had an image of the road being beat up by sticky tires

Roads and fast cars: moguls and skiis; white-water boulder gardens and a kayak; mountain bike and single track.

Great sports--all involve turning left and turning right. --and beating the H.... out of the surface.

Thanks for the brief description.

I llike the car, but I should add--Tires don't "squeel", or "howl"-- the road does.

smh

--In about ten years you should have your own dealership.

I have a high-stall torque converter, and a manual shift controller for the 4eat. In December, this was offered to Ciper on very easy terms. When he was ready I would ship it to him and he could pay some money when it was convenient. However, I have been unable to contact him, and he has posted noth...

Has anyone heard from Ciper over the past few weeks?
