Holy acceleration, batman

Well, it's happened. I really didn't believe it would at this point, but it did: I got my car back! Oh yes. It's running and running well. What a difference from the old engine. This thing pulls harder than my MR2 Turbo did at boost and does so starting at about 2k rpm.

Of course, this power just amplifies the need to get my torsion bars replaced. That car squats and lifts rathe substantially as i get on and off the throttle. Not a safe feeling. I'm gonna be driving the car a lot more carefully than my Scooby. It's just a bit twitchy and I need to get a good feeling for its new quirks, so they don't catch me unaware.

As for the transmission soap opera, I'll post on that later. Let's just suffice to say that it's really a pain in the ass and one way or another I'm going to be left holding the short end of the stick.
