Best: Definitely the best moment was when my Z was down for
about 6 months from a hydrolocked motor, I had dropped in a
Jspec motor, and it started up on the first try. I was most
amazed since the only prior mechanic knowledge I had was oil
changes and other misc. work. After studying the tech write-
up's on tt.net, I was able to perform the 120K, trans and
motor pull, and a clutch job. Those first few hundred miles
were nerve racking though.
But just having the privilege of driving my Z just about
every day out of the year is gratifying. It really is an
amazing car and you'd have to own one to understand.
Its nice getting compliments often as well, even if I
haven't washed it for months at a time.Worst: Driving home from school last winter sitting in
traffic, and as traffic was slowly creeping foward, I go to
push the clutch pedal in and put the shifter into 1st and it
won't go in, or any gear for that matter. Even with tools in
the truck, I knew the problem was bad. So as it starts to
snow for the first time of the season in Chicago, I get out
and start to push the Z uphill on a 2 lane highway
with no shoulder and assholes honking at me. Got the car
towed after pushing it to safety and later found out my
pressure plate broke internally, clutch master cylinder
went, and my battery cable came loose (so my window was
stuck down during the whole tow with snow coming in to my
freshly redone suede interior.)
Just had an injector go on me yesterday too :)
Fun stuff
