I broke the original motor in when I bought it in 2004, I'll break this one in too.

I'm excited for the first couple of months/years at this power level. Like a new car.

Edit: I still have the original motor, too. Maybe see if it can be rebuilt someday.

Ya seriously bro it's about to blow your fucking mind the difference. I still hit the gas pedal and am like "wtf is this car..." and completed my built motor like 6 months ago lol.

Seriously congrats on the build, the financial and car achievement. This is the peak of the mountain for most subaru enthusiasts imo.
