Got mine back as well! It runs great so far. Most I could do is putter around in traffic. I'm going to try and take it out tonight for a little break in driving.

The new ACT clutch feels nice. It's takes a little more clutch pedal force but it's still smooth and linear on the engagement. The guy left me my old parts in the trunk. He said the clutch and PP still looked good and I probably didn't have to change them out. Said I could probably put it back in if I burn this one out somehow.

New motor
New coils
new plugs
new wires
new flywheel friction surface
new clutch/PP
new trans fluid
new coolant

I figure I'm good for at least another 100K miles!

Sheesh. Your poor engine. Being abused. Not being allowed to go wild until you've got 600mi on it. You're just asking for another replacement

I agree rev the heck out of it, I did it after I got about 200 miles on my original engine and my car is still going strong after 30K miles. Get your engine used to your driving habits and redline it at least once a day when you drive your baby.

I've got you beat. There were 87 miles on my car (the salesman had to drive it up from Puyallup) when I got her. I wound her out in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd leaving the lot.

I wound her up today like two time, other then that, there was to much traffic. and around 550 miles I had to wound her up to pass a truck. Will see what I can do on Thursday, on my day off, I know I have to go to Tacoma.

Kristopher maybe that could be the name for the next drive "wound her up" or "winding her up with the winding round"

See you all arrrrrrrround!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
