I just picked up the car this morning... drove from West Roxbury to Stow with the plates for my 2G... sketchey. I need to get this thing registered.
Pics to come... I did a lot of basic maintenance tonight - changed all the fluids. The air filter was in really bad shape, it had a gaping hole in one side! Who knows how long it was like that. The transfer case fluid was also really bad. I also think it needs new shocks or something, they feel like they are gone.
The car seemed a lot slower than it should be, so I attached my craptacular Autometer boost gauge and the best boost pressure I could get was about 5 PSI. There must be a boost leak somewhere.
Yeah I know everyone says they are leaving it stock... it's going to be really hard to resist.
At least it will be really easy to pass emissions with this thing. The emissions regulations in MA are retarded - if you have OBD1 it's really easy to pass seeing as how most OBD1 ECU's never gives a crap, and if you have AWD it's also really easy to pass because they only have 2WD dynos so you do a "two speed idle test" which is a joke.
