I just got the car back together, working on it in the dark for the last hour, but I got it together enough for a test drive!

It sounds really solid.

The car no longer makes a weird rar-rar-rar-rar sound when I let off the accelerator.

Response to the accelerator is dead on. Nothing is sloppy. It's all tight and solid.

I don't have night illumination for my ammeter and volt meter, so watching that while driving will have to be tested during the day.

I might be able to get down to the emmissions test station later this week, then I am officially on the road!
