Cam update (originally written March 14/07)

Have I mentioned yet how much I like what this has done to the character of the engine? I really like it. It's so much more suited to my driving style.

I would recommend this mod to any Metro owner, particularly in combination with the longer legs. If I had the chance to buy an XFi over a regular Metro, I'd do it just for the difference in the way (I imagine) it drives.

I'm starting to realize I'd probably also really like driving a manual shift diesel for the same reasons - low end torque, short shifting, quiet, laid back, un-fussy.
