I know what you mean about it sounding and feeling racy.  I have
a 4kq with a few more miles, and when it's working(!) I'm
overcome with "fahrvergnugen".  The sound is my favorite: the
fifth cylinder makes it sound so much better than a four-banger
with loud exhaust.  And it will drive even better when I put in
Boge TG or KYB gas to replce my blown struts.
