I hope the weather is better this year. I would love to go. I think I may have screwed up my motor friday night though. Last run I was coming back and car started popping and backfiring. No other motor noises. Just kind of feels like a miss. Hopefully it's something simple but with my luck I'm doubting it.

Figured out my motor problems. Broken sparkplug insulator. Also found a broken valve spring. Good thing they are dual springs. Whats the odds of buying just one spring?? The set doesn't have more than 6k on them so I don't really want to replace them all.


Update- I guess they do sell em separetely

If one would break wouldn't it just be a matter of time before the next one breaks?

Bastards.
Paint is ruined.

Apparently 4 other cars got it on my street last night too. (no, I dont have a garage, yes, I know I need one...the joys of living in an apartment and having street parking) Oh and my winter beater was parked right behind my Firebird... of course the ******** didnt go for that thing... grrrrrr!!!!

I cleaned up the car for the cruise next weekend, so while it was all clean I figured I would take some pictures. Believe it or not i spray painted the front bumper cover and cleared it and buffed it out to hide what it looked like after my accident just for a temp fix. Blended in pretty well! Thanks to camaroz for some advice!

Looks good 355Z, I used to have a Black 94 Z28 before I bought my TA, and I loved it for the 5 minutes it was clean nothing ever beats a black car when its detailed, but keeping it detailed and driving it don't work to well together.
