Fell in love with my car again.

It's been a crazy month in the life of my Z. It finally feels like the car is sorted, safe, and fun to drive.

Mog Story: Trailered to its new home, and mocked up the new (Honda Civic) radiator. On Saturday is autocross in the Z , then pulling the engine on Sunday to have rebuilt. Going with 87mm piston liners that will bump displacement from 2.0L to 2.2L. All new rotating assembly, regrind the cam, new cam retainers/springs, new pushrods, and unleaded-gasoline valves and valve seats. Can't wait.

British cars aren't known for reliability, so I'm guessing the rad will be the last part to give up the ghost

This was today after work.
Baseline HP/TQ was 283.56 / 235.97
First run 305.56 / 248.38
Second run 308.18 / 247.75
Final run 312.03 / 272.23
5 Maps

Saw two other Z34's in the shop. Both FI and from out of State. One's from AZ and forgot where the other one was from. Both forum members but don't know who.

Agreed. 91 octane map. I was told he does not see this often. He also explained the car was running slightly rich. I said I understand and that's why I'm here but will be leaving your shop slightly poor.

Yeah I chimped out on mine, I threw down the strap wrench and grabbed a REAL Pipe wrench, that muther fargin bastige came off then!
Unfortunately the tender little skin on the OE shift knob came off with pipe wrench treatment.
