It runs and drives!

Well it is buttoned up and running.

I drove about 30 miles thus far and I had a misfire code p0300, but went over the grounds and havent seen it since. I just replaced the coil three months ago, so I am a little worried about the misfire as it is not fun to be stranded. I am gonna stay close to home for a while, until I build a little confidence in the reliability again.

I am pulling my old coil apart and will be building a frankencoil to keeps as a back up.

Thanks guys!

I put 150 miles on her today bringing the total on the new engine up to 230 miles. It is running fine and I am being gentle on it with occational blasts to 5500 w/ 6.5lbs of boost. Lots of different opinions on how to break a motor in.

The car ran pig rich this morning, but this was a function of reseting the ecu. The Long Term Fuel Trim in my car is a negative value b/c I run a fuel pressure pill. It takes awhile until the ecu relearns this. When I first got the car back from BRP I got like 12mpg on the highway for the first tank and it improved from there.

I have an exhaust rattle, so I will climb up under the car tomorrow, shift things and tighten down everything.

The clutch engages close to the floor, but I understand this can be adjusted up some and the light flywheel is a little different, but I like it.

I am paranoid, but getting more relaxed as the miles add up.

Once again: Thanks to everyone who helped out on this project!!!! I could not have done it without your help!!!
