Motor starts and all is good. Gotta go Out tOnight but i have off tomorrow so i will shakedown then. And lay some 4th gear stripes.
This is a real milestone for me. I havr never taken AND put back an engine before. I am glad i also figured out how to do the fuel system. Thank you Jeff for the schematic, I will have to learn more about physical circuits.
Also special thanks Sean for all the hours sPent on the stupid cluth install. And to lennys enginrle hoist. But not lenny. Just kidding lenny spent four hours tryin to get trans in as well Speaking of whom i have your megafork.

he has a 4.30 iirc vs your....3.9?
acceleration looks very similar to my white cars except I was shifting slow as hell so as not to break the 5sp "glass" trans.
oh how I would love to own a 6sp/3.6fd setup.

Camera was zip tied to the steering wheel, no way I could drive, shift, and record at the same time.
I've got the stock 3.90 and 6 speed in my car. Top of 5th is around 120.

It runs. On the street.
What you've been wating for. World's crappiest car video!!!
Of course, the day that I get my car back on the road, it is raining.
949 clutch isn't much harder to slip than ACT extreme and 9lb flywheel. Yeah it revs a bit faster and shifts very nicely at 8000RPM. I forgot how much frakikng fun my car is to drive. I was expecting it to feel like lagbeast since I've been dailying my small turbo 2.5L subie BUT it actually is quite peppy out of boost. I suppose the 8000RPM redline vs 6400 redline in subie affects how it feels a lot too. So much fun. If only it would stop raining now.

. My gas is probably bad from sitting for a while. It smelled like it was bad. That and/or clutch adds noise. Gauge on right is plx dm-100 displaying AFR as a rolling graph.
