That's great news Jamie. Good for you for hanging in there. I agree, 250 hp is plenty (at least for now). Wait til you can really lean into it on a dry day. Enjoy it!

Took my car out for it's longest drive yet. Got a good 2 hours of seat time. Although none on nice twisty roads. So I'd say more boring driving but that would be a lie. Man this thing is a blast to drive. Stopped by the shop to get my dyno printout. Andy was to busy & said he'd email it to me later. He did say I was wrong when I told you it was 250hp on the tune. It was actually 270 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . I forgave him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Missing the connection for my variable speed sensor on my tranny. So ordered one from the dealership today. Won't get here until Monday. Luckily my phone GPS tells me how fast I am going. Also really need to build my new center console & install my zero decibals shifter. My current MR2 one works but was a temporary setup that moves forward & back. Doesn't make for great shifting. Just leaves me wondering if it went in gear or not. Will be much more solid when I get my new setup in. My gas guage is also reading like crap. Already down to a 1/4 tank it says & there is no way I went through 8+ gallons of gas today. Although without my speedo hooked up I have no idea how many miles I drove today. So makes the gas gauge worrisome as I am guesstimating how full it really is

Looking great there Jamie! 270 HP at the wheels is plenty to get the adrenaline going.

Yeah if there's one thing I'm still not quite comfortable with myself it's the Speedhut fuel gauge. It just doesn't seem quite right. When I put a gallon or two in it it shows 1/4 tank. Maybe we both need to re-calibrate the empty/full.

Can't wait to see the new shifter setup. Sounds like an improvement over the MR2.

Okay here is a quick video of me getting on the freeway. Need to get my new shifter setup in. To much flex in my temporary mount with my MR2 shifter. Much more noticeable when I'm shifting quicker. Anyway nothing to impressive. I did hit 109 before letting off. Still plenty of top end left there

I love the modest little hiccup from the BOV between shifts....doesn't sound as furious as your acceleration really is! SHE'S FAST!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Using a sheet metal brake and a welder this could be an option for a console. Fitted to your old setup.

That is good looking work. I plan to bring it a bit higher & have it higher in front than back. Plan to build the front this weekend. My ECU is sitting basically dead center between the seats at the firewall. So I am going to give it 2 separate sections. They will connect but I won't need to remove both depending on what I am working on. I'll post some more pics this weekend. Also have my VSS connector ordered from Subaru. Supposed to be in Monday. Then I can get my speedo hooked up.

I also have a weird deal with my headlights. My high beams constantly flicker on & off with the wheels turning. Also when I use my turn signals. Is there some adjustment in there I can make? Have to admit I have never had to mess with that part of the column. Replaced a unit once for another reason. I'll look at it this weekend so any ideas are appreciated.

I have been getting a lot of rubbernecking. I'd like to say it is my stunning good looks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) . Judging by the fact it only happens when I am driving my 914. I suppose it could be the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . I forgot how much attention they draw. Been so long since I have driven it. I can't say how disappointed I am it is supposed to rain all weekend. I was really looking forward to a nice long drive to the coast & back
