Guess who joined the 2L club?

Ummm. I'll try that. It really smoothes out at about 3k rpm and up, but 
between idle and 3k, I can feel it in the steering wheel, and its loud!
I made an appt at monroe for them to re-support and weld the system as well 
as a front end alignment.

I must admit I am really amazed at the power band. Its a lot broader and 
smoother than a 1.8L. But then the 1.8L motor had quite a few miles on it by 
the looks of the dirt.
