Yeah! Congratulations, I glad you got it running! I remember the first night I took my hatch out. I took it out to a remote steep hill and went tearing up the damn thing in 3rd gear. I was simply blown away by the difference in power, even compared to 127hp D16Y8. I didn't have a tach at the time so I wasn't even really pushing it all the way to redline either.

I had a similiar problem with mine starting. I changed the fuel filter and when I went to start it, I had to crank it over 3 times before it actually started. Scared the piss out of me for the first 2. I realize now that it was probably just taking some time to refill the filter and get the pressure up. Started up first turn after that.

Did the speedo issue resolve itself? Still jumping around when you start or is it working normally? Congratulations again and this forum could always use more people with good experience helping out. I'll look forward to the pics.
