Hilarious, since my first "car" (had trucks before that) was a 1991 Mazda 323 1.6L Slushbox. The tranny was teh weaksauce and I ended up swapping it out for a 5spd std.
I then went all out on the mods. Swapped in a JDM 1.8L Turbo, exhaust, intake, chipped ecu, wheels & tires, headwork, new cams, lightened flywheel, and nitrous
Nitrous ended the fun for me. The tranny had felt a bit weak after all the mods were done. The first time I was racing, I hit the nitrous and the tranny blew its load all over the street! Shards of metal where everywhere. Wires were cut, hoses were leaking, lets just say I was pissed. Couldnt find a shop locally that would strengthen one of those trannys for me. I gave up and ended up parting it out (lost alot of money) I was mad. Just one of the many reasons im not a fan of nitrous.
That put me off modifying imports, even though it was my fault
