Today, after six months and four days of waiting, my car is finally finished! biggrin.gif

My mechanic swapped the AE101 4A-GE into the car, and it is awesome! Though I can't go fast in it yet due to having to break in the clutch, I can tell that it's going to be sweet once the clutch is broken in. smile.gif

The motor itself sounds amazing. It sounds so so sweet, and will only sound better once I'm able to run the car at full throttle. smile.gif I'm running just a generic filter on the end of the AFM, and for exhaust, I'm using the factory 4-2-1 header, with 2.5" crush-bent piping and no cat, and a OBX universal muffler.

As for drivability, it's very good. The light JUN flywheel took some getting used to, as you have to rev the car higher when starting from a stop, but once I got the hang of it, everything is nice. The Clutch Masters stage one clutch kit is excellent, and feels great and is not to aggressive for a street, daily-driven setup. What is really nice is how little the engine changes momentum. This is due to a solid front motor mount which hardly allows the engine to move at all. smile.gif I no longer have A/C or cruise control unfortunately though.

I have a couple hundred more miles to drive to break in the clutch, and then once that's done, I'll let you guys know how the power is. smile.gif

Tomorrow(Today, technically) I'll take some pictures and post them up here. smile.gif

Great man, I'm glad somebody on here has finally done the swap. Break in that clutch!
