What change intervals have those of you using Redline trans oil been<br>
using? My SE-R has had MT90 in it for ages - such an improvement in<br>
winter over the regular stuff! - but after I finish replacing the rod<br>

It's probably good for darn near forever. My Mom has a 2003 BMW that claims to have "lifetime" ATF and differential gear oil. I called BS on that and changed them. Sent those and engine oil samples to Blackstone Labs. They said the original ATF was still good at 83k miles, and the engine oil was marginal at 15k and suggested 10 or 12k changes.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Thanks, Wayne. I kinda suspected the trans oil can be left in there - I
dunno how long it's been in there but it's probably at least 50k - but
was a little unsure. I wouldn't leave non-synthetic oil in there so long.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="im">

Also, do any of you have an OE cat handy whose length you can measure?<br>
My original cat was ripped off around the time I moved here and I will<br>

You can probably go to your FLAPS ask them to pull one off the shelf. It's a pretty common piece, used across multiple cars. I've gone into AutoZone with a bathroom scale to find the lightest battery I could buy ;)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I didn't know if this kind of thing was standardized across an OEM's products, though now that you suggest it, it wouldn't surprise me. I am still annoyed at the cat ripoff after four years. Why did they pick my POS-looking old Japanese shoebox??</div>

Finally, in a perfect world I would love to get my hands on another JWT<br>
header secondary section - the cat thieves cut mine between the flex<br>
pipe and the flange. I know these have not been made in years due to<br>
cheap made-in-China copies. I am reluctant to support that kind of<br>
business (the cheap copies) but I would also love to keep my header<br>

Can't help you there. But [sadly] the cheap import ones are VASTLY superior quality to the others I've seen.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for inadvertently correcting me - I was calling it a JWT header, not a Hotshot header :) I wish I had pulled the HS header off my dad's car (not to mention a bunch of other things, like the engine, wheels, etc.) off my dad's B14 before it was scrapped, but it just wasn't practical. I guess I'll at least consider it.<br>
