what i drive like a little old lady... think it broke rings mid race day after we did the compression test... the run after we did the compression test it started to run worse and sound odd everytime i started it...
ehh... one piston in 3 years aint bad...

anyway after desaster you always come back bigger and better... i will be swapping to OBD1 (running uberdata) and maybe some other ---- too... but i just spent my money on some VW ---- (got a tranny and dash for my car, info soon)...

I have the same tester and had the same results one time

Now you have a reason to forged.
