Figured id share my garbage..

In 16 years of ownership, this is the first time I’ve driven it to a gas station. Not the first attempt just the first time it made it. Noticed my shift light was set to 5200 (limiter is at 6500). Drove the car a little harder tonight and it seems a lot better. Lack of seat time and not paying attention is half my issue with the car not feeling as strong as it should. 45-75 happened quickly on a terrible road on the way home (while passing a prison). Learned it’s gonna be a pain to keep the car cool even cruising.

Keeping the temp in check is a huge challenge on these turbo cars. The headers and hotside produce so much heat. And your running without a hood which usually helps my car a lot. But keep plugging away. You’ll get there.
