I agree, I'm still buying stuff for the T5 swap, but a hammer shifter would be a pretty fun mod for an auto

I don't seem to have a huge problem with this, I just eclipsed 125K and put new plugs and fuel filter in, she's running as good as new. I even feel more power when I punch the pedal... I'm lucky I guess lol *knocks on wood*

I don't know if the WOT gas pedal mod would help with this....I think its just the trans taking time to downshift.

solenoid actuated sequential manual transmission now that's a transmission that can be FUN! computer runs actuators in drag hit a switch and run paddle shift on the street.
