Well shucks, that means if I upgrade to a G2 I'll need to rewire one or both P-cars with a direct-wire kit. At least I should be able to reuse the wiring from the outlet of the savvy up to the V1.

Thanks for sharing this, and good luck with your install.

I'm not sure if my original statement is actually correct. In the V1 G2 manual, it says it can be powered by the Savvy.

I just called Valentine. (Amazing that a human picked up the phone instantly after Mike's voice plays)

I am an idiot. It says eSavvy cannot serve as the powersource...eSavvy is the feature in the app! The Savvy (physical unit) can power the V1G2 just fine.

Today, I started it - and it ran perfectly.

This contrasts spectacularly with YESTERDAY, when I made the mistake of washing the bish and then going to work for a couple of hours...only to enjoy the obligatory runs-like-poo-because-coil-packs ride home.

The Fisters sound even better when one of the cylinders isn't firing, BTW. In fact, it's amazing how much a 5/6ths M96 spitting gas into one cat sounds like a finely-tuned Subaru...

Welcome to my world.

The nice thing about being an idiot is that every day is full of discovery. And confusion.

Hey now! The youngest kid tells me the Subaru engineers worked for years perfecting their flat four sound!

The 4-cylinder boxers sound to me like a panel truck with a rotten muffler.

To me the Subie boxers sound like a twin cylinder John Deere tractor...with a bad muffler.

I made an appointment to drop the car off for the IMS Solution on Sunday. Checkbook wrenching is where its at, baby! Actually, even if I had a lift and the tools, I'm not sure I'd do this myself. I'm trying a new Porsche-only indy who gets great reviews. Most important, I enjoyed discussing this with him. Pics of completed Solution to come next week hopefully.

Yeah, I think you’re best to leave this one to the professionals. I wouldn’t attempt it myself even with a lift. And I doubt that I would buy an M96 with an owner-installed IMS bearing. Especially knowing what we know can happen when somebody tries to DIY an IMS bearing.
