    81K with all that power on an '02 tranny is asking for trouble... But for ~12k that's not too bad of a deal.

    No! He did the side mount on the license plate (boo). Plus, he has terrible grammar ;)

    I'd say buy Scott's, or the 11tybillion other people that seem to be parting out here now :)

    i just talked to the tuner himself and the shop. he was the second owner and didnt install anything until jan 07. all installs and tuning was done at machv motor sports. anyone know if this is a reputable shop?

    I don't think that's really the issue. Unless you're taking parts off the tranny is going to eventually explode.

    i understand what happens when you constantly run 300 hp on a wrx tranny. but thats not my plans. i would like to get a retune in a month. i dont really need all that hp. to me atleast a professional has installed the parts it wasnt done shade tree, and that havent been on super long so most of the parts are pretty new.

    are you the new owner? :)

    Yes Mach V is a very reputable shop form what I hear. I know that they host huge meets quite often on in NC or Virginia or Maryland or wherever the hell on the east coast they are located.

    That car is TROUBLE.

    but for someone who really wants a bugeye, and has some $$$...it would be an 'ok' starting point for someone who wants to upgrade to a 2.5 and 6 speed swap....about 2 days after they buy the car.
