Five speed almost complete
I pick up my car tonight with all the bugs sorted out except for the speed which I soon hope to fix with Harvey & Phils help. Took it for a run tonight, I am more convinced that Subaru would have sold a lot more if they had of come out with the 5 or 6 speed option. My engine has 300,000 k but you wouldn't know it the way it performed, you can go back to third at 160 k in a corner and as you power in the car just glues its self to the road. The ability to accelerate out of the corner and control when the transmission changes gear just changes the whole car completly. If you consider I am now runner a 3.5 diff in stead of a 3.7 and have the low rev intake manfold removed it just a different car. I can highly recommend going to the effort to get it done.
