Maiden voyage accomplished!! I took it out today for the first time. It was pretty surreal driving the car after spending all this time crawling over it. It was a beautiful day here, and all it took was to swap out the MAP sensor. I'm still having some problems down low, runs very rough, but I found out that the system thinks it is at 94% load, all the time. That comes from the vacuum. So hopefully I can fix that soon/easily. It runs well at higher rpms.

I had the pleasure of having the cops show up at my place about 30 mins after my drive. A lovely neighbor tracked me down, and then called the cops to say I was driving "very fast and recklessly through the neighborhood"... The village cops came and they were very cool, no worries at all. I freaking hate spineless people who, instead of coming to see you, just call the cops. You can see in the vids I was going slow. I hit it once towards the end, but it was very short. The loudness of the car doesn't help either
