Duplicating my update to my progress thread but so what...
My newly ringed and cleaned up, new to me 2.0L ran today (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) After a little hick-up last week which resulted in pulling the motor and stripping it back down after just getting it in the car I got it back in last night and fired it up today. Damn does it sound good. Took a few laps around the neighborhood and man what a difference from the tired 1.7 that was in there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) I am really impressed with the feel of this motor. Now for a little more brake bleeding and a longer test drive tommorow. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Think I will celebrate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) |

First real road test today, 15 mile drive, with the top off, man what a blast, I can't beleive how strong the motor pulls compared to the 1.7. Strong acceleration through all rpms. No hesitation or stuttering at all.
Now I need to get my center consul together and put in my VDO oil temp gauge so I can't monitor that. On top a thousand other little things. man is it fun to drive this car again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Congratulations!!!
I'm looking forward to putting my new one on the road. I'm still busy blasting the engine compartment to get it ready for paint, but once that's done I hope to enjoy the driving experience you just had!!!!!! |
