IDK anything about Tranny upgrades, but this Co lists cooling kit-Trunk Reservoir & IC pump & needed fittings hoses, the Trunk Tanks are easily recognized (Donny Bailey makes them from mid-west he lists on Ebay & may have his own site now, cost $120-$150 in any 5.5 gallon or smaller diamensions, you tell him your exact space in trunk & he'll custom fab it to your every need inc diff bung fittings etc)
I bought & made giant thread on this upgrade & ALL needed fittings/hoses/clamps/Pump total cost in parts is UNDER $300.00 delivered to your door. This Co has it for sale NOT including delivery or Tax, @ $699.99 add delivery & Tax you're @ $750-$800
I could see them charging an etc $200 for profit but they're going for $400.00 MB Tax
http://www.weistec.com/icetank.html
Just looking out for fellow enthusiasts.. Here's Donny's contact info http://dadscustomintercoolertank.com/services.html
Note he lists huge Engine/trunk combo for $575.00 but the basic single tank under 6 gallons is starting @ $135.00 though I got larger 5.5 gallon @ $150.00

Propain, you need to let it go man. What's wrong with this forum is that too many threads get away from being about the car and more about the people.
I personally just don't care to check in here because of it. I don't run into this kind of mess on thr Porsche forums or the Aston Martin forums.

I should start a commercial property forum. Then we could sit around *****ing and bragging about our water heater systems, our laundries and security systems. Instead of 1/4 mile times it could be fastest eviction record for non-payment.

Interesting enough you say its to much about the people yet you post something about yourself and how quirky you are or weird you are in every thread you make as an excuse for your behavior. I guess you are lumping yourself into whats wrong with forum then?
I do agree though. The big thing Ive noticed lately on this forum is the class war BS. Jacobs statement is a perfect example of it. Sirex or whatever his name is another. UAE rich boys just trolling. The C63 is very much a middle class car. Acting like you are a big baller in this forum is just silly.
You don't get this kind of BS on the Aston Martin or the Porsche forums because there are a lot of big fish in a very big pond there. Not the case here. The majority here are middle class working guys.
Its exactly what everyone says. Money brings out the worst in people.
But if you really want to touch on what is wrong with this forum its the BS cheerleader crap for tuners and companies and which one is best. Also the hate for the same companies by people who use the competition. Its the #1 problem on this forum and others.

You never let anything pass. Many here don't. It's tiring.
I'm actually not quirky at all. I say that to get along with people's misconceptions about me and that's about it. It's just easier that way because a lot of people bore me and I care very little about almost everything lately.
I was just trying to give you some advice. Not every gnat has to be squashed. If you feel it does, you have a long disappointing life of gnat squashing ahead of you. But if you like that sort of thing, good for you.
Now, hopefully back to something about transmissions.

Now your NOT quirky? I think you are close to the most wacky guy I have met to date on this forum. Its cool though. Sane people are boring.
Now back to things that matter. What is the status of your rebuild? It would seem you only post here when you have something negative to say. How about adding something positive for a change? Any update on the cause or the status of your car?

not stock.
this is an interesting thread! Considering value of a C63, and the lack of aftermarket and the cost of a new oem tranny, the 5K Tag on the Trans rebuild / upgrade is quite fair. You gotta pay to play...

Propain you need to calm down. My statement wasnt inteded for you. Weistec are providing a trunk Ice tank and they provide warranty with it. Why would someone want to go and search for the source?
Did you ever know about the trunk ice tank and its benefits for our engines before Weistec were providng it?
This is propabley your third time commenting about me being a rich troll.
Leave your jealousy aside and calm down brother. You seem to get emotional and angry alot among threads. its not worth it man.
Lets all get along

How does the upgrade feel to you around town and when getting into it?
Shift speed increased?
How's the new torque converter around town?

& perhaps you could've sent me a PM instead of being a hypocrite & mucking up this thread even further sanctimonious blowhard.. I was retorting to the OP of this thread & his link to Weistec, it all was on topic @ hand "Weistec" & ALL there offerings/stages available NOT just their Tranns offerings..
Sanctimonious blowhard??? Chill out dude. Perhaps I didn't read this correct but I thought this particular thread was about Weistec's trans upgrade, not their other products, all of which have separate threads already.
Ecampbell, take your own advice & start your own thread instead of trying to be some sort of half-***'d wannabee Moderator...

I have the torque converter and valvebody currently installed on my vehicle.
I'm still in the testing phase and I will start a thread in the near future with my thoughts and track results.
