Finished up changing out the clutch, pressure plate & fly wheel today & went for a drive. I was amazed with the power difference of the 2.0 when the clutch was slipping. Now, with a good clutch & no slippage, this thing has zoom-zoom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)
Also, it winds up faster like I have lower gears. To get up to 4K between shifts with the 1.7 (compared to the 2.0) took much longer... I mean Much Longer! The 1.7 ran good but now I know, once you've had a 2.0 there's no going back (to a stock 1.7). Still gotta do some checking on the shift linkage cuz it doesn't shift like it did when I first installed the 2.0. Felt funny when I put it together like the screws weren't in properly when I did the connection to the firewall & tranny. But, at least I drove it today & will do so tomorrow before leaving it for 2 weeks to sit in its dark shop (sniff) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Just wanted to share my good luck in obtaining this engine from Craig. Neither of us knew if it was gonna run after a 7 year sleep. ..........b |
