this will make you laugh. i put the lsd in went for a drive to test it out, did a couple of donuts and then lost all drive. yep big trail of trans fluid and was stuck on the side of the road.so i can add 2x mf5's and an ms1 to my list of broken vl things. anyway better it did it now rather than at pcm at winton in september, so me and the bro are heading to melbourne on monday to pick up an mx7 conversion and fingers crossed should all be good.
