So to recap the rebuilt engine has 20,000 miles on it and has been running really well. the 260whp and 221wtrq is rather fun in all gears. trq is just on all the time. and the hp delivery is so smooth... i do wish i got the car tuned. but never had the time to do so.

The torsen diff is absolutely incredible, along with the rear sway bar. over the last few years after all of this has been so much more pleasurable than when i first got the car.
