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.

Yeah Jeff you know you want to do it. There's a reason that in the last year or so, at least 7 people (that I can think of off the top of my head) have converted to Subaru power.

I can't wait to get mine going. If yours runs that good, just think of how the turbo'd version runs. I took a ride with Dana (Renegade) in vegas last year and it's kinda like this: 3rd gear ...punch it...100mph in a blink. And....it does sound like a 914, a meaner one. The difference is kinda like what a single overhead cam 350 Honda motorcycle sounds like versus a double overhead cam 450 Honda (probably before your time). Anyway, you're definitely gonna fool alot of people with that car. By the way...starting to put the engine FI back together. Still missing a few things from powder coating. New pics of the intake manifold with the Perrin fuel rails (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) and TGVs mounted on http://community.webshots.com/user/fat73. Also a pic of the front trunk with the battery permanently mounted. Ed aka W9R1 |
