Do you mean the slushbox is better in the MY07, or do you mean that slushboxes are only for old people / Heather Mills?

More like a stutter that drives you mad, but a good tune fixes that. Also needs what they are calling the land ring fix but that's a flash fix as well.

Apparently there is unlikely to be an 09 tuned by STI as the libs are getting VDC (if it happens) and that makes suspension and brake changes very costly.

I was talking between Non Sti Tuned and Sti Tuned Dave. realise what the 8 K was now - oops

Shane, A fortnight ago there was a Black Pearl GT Spec B 6 speed sedan on carsales in Queensland that was brand new (never registered) but had hail damage for $39,990. You'd have to get some good pics of it or inspect in person but I'd expect no more than $5k to fix it.
Get an exhaust and Ecu-Tek from you know who and you'll be smiling like me.
