It sounded a bit savage in your first update. Glad you're happy with it - is the missus still allowed to drive it? And how is it in the wet - must be a nightmare, at least until you get used to taking off on veeerrry light throttle.

I guess on the highway it would be OK too - the stall would only come into effect on takeoff and WOT kickdown? Tell me more - I may be interested in a hi-stall for mine (both), but I was thinking more around 2500 mark, as both perform family transport duties now that the twins are in booster seats.

Just on the box for a minute, didn't useless' first box die after the hi-stall? Is this what happens when the stall is changed? Did you have a trans cooler? From memory you did - but did it by-pass the radiator, or was it in series? Sorry about all the questions, but your car interests me a lot, as I want to do at least some of these things to mine (especially the wagon), but over a period of time ($$$$$).
