[Diy_efi] Air fuel meters

James,

That is amazing - that the Baja outweighs the Fairlane.

(To put it in perspective - James's Fairlane is a full size car - while he 
is correct that it is not a Galaxy - it is just as big - body parts will 
swap but the trim will look funny. And it has the low performance motor.)

Probably the reason the WRX didn't impress you is because you were getting 
it rolling and then "punching it". On your Fairlane that works because it 
has a lot of torgue. The WRX is down on torgue at low RPM - it is only half 
as many cubic inches. To get a good ride out of the WRX, floor the 
accelerator, watch the tach and let it rev up to the horsepower max rpm, and 
then feather the clutch while you keep the accelerator on the floor. That 
should be fun or maybe expensive. :-)
