Default My Z status

My Zs been in the shop all week and have been pooping in my pants ever since. It was losing power under heavy acceleration and brought it to our SoCal's finest. I especially done a lot of pooping today as they were doing a compression test. It appears that one of the cylinder's a bit low than the others, but at acceptable levels. It also has an exhaust leak, which explains the unacceptably loud exhaust. I'm also switching out the igition coil - which was the main cause of the 'hesitation' that was triggering the knock sensor. I'm also getting all my defi gauges put in, along with the greddy oil catch can. Later down the line, my custom 3" exhaust with 3.5 downpipe will be replaced with APS 3" true dual. I'm also swapping out the Unichip with FCON, later this year, and retune. In addition to the laundry list, my paranoia will lure me to swap my axle with level 5. I will have fresh new tires in a few weeks and will be slapping my volks from my other z to this one, which are running stocks at the moment. Exterior is a whole another story which I won't get into The Z is also getting a retune at the moment with the current unichip (I'm hoping for some decent numbers). I pick my car up either this week or next week. Wish me luck!!
