New R53 2006 Auto (Red) Owner

Hi all,

I'm glad to be apart of such great community.

The R53 Auto was purchased 6 months ago at 55K (now almost 65K). It was intended for my wife , however we decided to swap.

Mods done so far:
- Intake
- Rear Sway Bar
- Upper engine mount
- Lighter wheels

To-do
-17% Pulley

The car is currently having issues with the Auto Transmission (see my other thread).
I really want to make sure the car is fine, before I put more money into it.

Any suggestions and tips will be much appreciated!
