I have my automatic setup with my maft pro. As soon as I hit a set amount of boost (curently set at 8 psi), the maft pro triggers a relay. The relay moves the circuit over from the main pressure solenoid to a resistor. The resistor acts like a fake solenoid so the tcu does not go into limp mode. Now since the tcu is no longer controlling the main pressure solenoid, I have full main pressure on the clutches above the set amount of boost. This is also nice as it retains smooth shifting when just driving around town.

Originally I had this set up with my maft pro based on tps voltage. There has to be something out there that could trigger a relay based on a 5 volt reference. If there is, setting it up this way works quite well.

Like a boss!

Any chance I can get this shift box crap out of my thread, mods?

Well I picked up an old Hurst Quarter stick ratchet shifter and I've got a line on some Corbeau seats.

I think that if I get those seats I'll probably take out the back seats since they are fixed back seats.

Oh and I weighed the car at scrap place and it came in at 2980lbs, not sure how accurate it is, but I don't have a reason think it is off by a lot.

Let me know if you need any help wireing up the kiggly mod. I have one of the 2 plugs you need for it. if you can find the other you wount have to hack your stock harness.

Was the 2980 with or without you? my damn 2g (and driver) need to do on a diet so I can keep up with you.

2980lbs without me
3140 with me

All weights with about 1/2 tank of gas.

Sounds about right. Mine was 3200 with a full tank and me.

The previous owner painted it with some crap, I think I'm gonna get it blasted and do it in some crappy black spray stuff for this year and next winter get it coated professionally maybe, unless I can find some good deal on ceramic coatings this winter, but I'm out of the loop on ceramic coatings.

Looks like it's cracked and been re-welded a few times.

Yeah, but I was showed it doesn't leak and I have a welder so I'm not worried. Plus like i said it was cheap.

Nope.
