alrighty, so i did another compression test today... 190 190 190 190!
i took it for a little test drive around the lot, burned a little ruubber (and clutch) by accident, but it drove fine, really torquey which im not at all used to. i have to baby it through the first 4000 rpms in 1st, anything more than 1/3 throttle and im spinning the wheels.
i took it out again and all seemed ok in the 2 minutes i drove it, there are just too many cars and people around for me to be stalling and skidding around right now. at about 11 ill take it out on the highway
ill get videos i promise!
