Following same technique as you. Didn't want to have to make one of those "I cleaned the engine and now it won't start!" posts. On Saturday, a very nice former Z owner gave me 4 great condition OEM rims, two with S02 tires on 'em, AND a very exciting ride in his new BMW Z8 that he sold his Z for. I've been good to the Z this weekend...it had better appreciate it!
I had thought my engine was pretty clean until I saw some of the ones at the last ClubZ track day (like SLINCO's). Now I won't feel so substandard next time (except for the "NA" problem).
