I picked up the flu from my relatives over the holiday. I'm cold and my joints hurt.
Time to hit the hard stuff. It may work, it may not. But, at least, I won't care.

Also, my son just bought a 300ZX off Ebay. At least it isn't a FWD.

One of the most expensive engines to replace this side of Italy. My friends 300ZX TT was going to run $15K to replace when he sucked water into it.

Yep, that is expensive. At that point you might as well just replace everything but the block and build a bulletproof motor

Ah the 300z - that was the car I really wanted back in the 90's - I wanted the twin turbo - came close to buying one a couple of times - thought my dad was going to buy one at one point as well...

This one is a 1990. I guess it was 233 hp when the engine was fresh. The TT version was only 300 hp without special tuning.

I won't know until tomorrow when we pick up the car. The pictures did show into the rear area. He didn't care either way.

Well, after this weekend, my left thigh looks like I was kicked by a Muy Thai boxer.

Yes, what happened.

BTW, the car is pretty good for the price. He is now getting used to a manual trans. The fact that it is winter isn't helping any.
