| so tonight, for the first time in many months, I attempted to clean the garage so I could fit my Prelude in there for the upcoming project. I happened to do a compression check on my prelude last weekend (Thanks again cliff) and cylinders 1,2,4 were ~210. Cylinder 3 was a different story tho. It's at a whopping 90. Leakdown test and bam it's off the chart. End of story: I need the head rebuilt. Mousersix, you are not alone, I believe my #3 takes the cake. Anyways, since I had Z parts all over the place (yes I've been very SLOW with parting out my Z, still alot of stuff left) I had to clean the garage to bring the prelude in. As I was cleaning the garage (I had moved boxes infront of my wrecked Z to move shelfs around so it was not visible) some random lady was jogging down the street and suddenly stopped to ask me a question. She asked me "I believe a person that owned a black 300ZX used to live here, do you know what happened to it? I don't see it around or parked outside anymore?". I ended up moving the boxes for her to show her the damage and told her the story. She ended up talking to me about how she used to own a Z and everytime she would see mine she would regret that she sold hers. She wished me best of luck in the future and that I would be able to get another Z. While talking to her I realized how much I actually missed my Z. First time in months (even tho I see the damn thing everyday) I actually felt really sad that it's gone. It's true what they say about you don't really know what you have until it's gone. My Z was 4 years older than my Prelude and it never gave me any problems...but now I have to pull the damn cylinder head off the Prelude. A Z is just a car, but everyone who owns one should cherish it and driving it while it lasts. Anyways, im done ranting. 
R.I.P March 23, 2006I have nightmares about that happening...I'd be the poor bastard you'd hear about on the news that gets killed by a softball-size chunk while spreading out my body over the hood and screaming "Nooo!" (Having a conversation about hail damage) - BradZ (FL) on March 25, 2005 at 9:56 PM Tell your friend that you could take a dump, light it on fire and that would be hotter shit than his car. Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM P.S. You REALLY are on here at ALL hours!
