I did that with my low mileage 1995 when I bought it in 2012 and he fixed a bunch of age related things including several I would never have thought to ask about. By the time he was done it ran perfectly. He could eve get you a new set of tires. Reasonably priced and the best money you could spend on your new Z.--Bob

Hmmmm... I have given that some thought... I appreciate the suggestion.

thank you!

When I bought my [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji638] it was down two cylinders due to this issue.

I'll add it to my list of things to do... thank you!

If you have any grand jour thoughts of taking it to Haibeck you should call sooner than later. He?s usually significantly backlogged.

Didnt see them.. weird.

My comment was don't drive on those old tires,are the very least they have no grip which is fun if you like the idea of braking the tires loose when your going about 35,not any fun if your behind a stalled clapped out turd at a stop light and you need to move NOW! Ask me how I know but I did manage to drift through the intersection,sideways looking out the pass window to see where I was going. This was on original tires that were 17 years old😳

Welcome to the madness! One more plug here for new tires, or trailer it. I vote for trailer since it's so far. Get her up to par and checked out, then she'll do 1200 miles no problem. Congrats!

And when was the last time the oil was changed?

Personally I wouldn't drive an unknown car that far. I went with my Brother to buy a car a few weeks ago and I was hesitant to drive the car 200 miles home. On a side note,congratulations on the Z,you wont find a more dedicated and knowledgeable group of people the like the owners. I've had my car close to 20 years and I still love this car. I haven't drivin my car more than 200 miles in the last 2 years but it's there,just chillin,with a ton of crap stacked on it😁 You have a question about anything on the car,somebody will have an answer. Looking for a part,somebody will know where to find it,most of the time. I've watched prices go from the toilet to prices,and renewed interest to the car. I've thought about buying a new C8 but my car would need to go,that's not going to happen. I do know I need to get my car out of the garage and run some fresh gas through it. Welcome to the madness. Long Live The King.
