No, I think you will be fine. I would add a transmission filter and cooler which will help. Good luck. Go to the Registration Forum and add your car to the owners list.

Re: new owner in Iowa

Where in the heck is Hazelton, anyway? I'm here just south of iowa city.

There's 4 or 5 others here in the state that are active-ish on the forum.

And one of the first things I did with my car was flush the trans and add syunthetic oil.

Ahh, ok. Now that you mention it, I think I was up that way about 2 months ago. What's your shop in CR?

Sweet! I used to always go up to bee-bops when they had cruises a few years back. Or maybe they still do? hahah

Anyway, you also need to swing down this way, and get yourself one of my swaybars if you're planning on auto-x!
