How's it drive??? What a difference!

It even SOUNDS like a "race engine" now. Not because I'm winding it up to redline before shifting - because I'm not (always )
- but I am shifting at a slightly higher rpm than the automatic transmission would. Better control, feels faster too.

Much more FUN to drive now too!! Well worth the work to make the switch.

I'm glad you're enjoying the car more now and happy that my parts went to someone who could put them to good use.

Got the Getrag 5-speed swap finished on on Saturday - went to Car Show NEXT day, Sunday (Sept. 27 2009)
Beautiful fall day, great show. The car drove great!



Today, a week later (Oct. 4), it's cold (just above freezing) with wet snow. Summer's over!

No, there is an SD 4 cyl on there that is partially done. I emailed the owner in Bath NY. Her husband has passed and she is selling. I would like to try and get it and finish it for her. A way for her to maintain touch with him...sounds sappy but I would lke to.

I actually love yours...that is why when I saw this one so close (Bath NY) I kind of did a double take. Read my PM to you. I also looked at the engine setup, since that's the only pictures, and yours is slightly different (to me as a layman) but probably hugely different in truth. Her husband was in the process and died of cancer.
