Last night I wired up the oxygen sensor and fixed a problem with the shifter. Today I drove it in to work for the first time and my god does that thing move. Holy crap.

1st gear is out of commission for the time being as I need to look into why it won't fully engage, but starting in 2nd is no problem. My tach also doesn't seem to be reading out correctly, so I have to look into that too.

On the positive side, the car hauls ass and sounds great. It sounds like a type IV. At idle and low rpm, its kind of like a Bursch exhaust sound but when you step on it its really freaking sweet.

I only work 3 miles from home so the fans barely had a chance to come on, however when they did I could see the temperature move back down, so they are working.
