yep. on June 21st. My girlfriend wants to finish her degree at UH. Shes from Arizona. I'm originally from Hawaii so it is an easier move than California right now. I know the place and had some family there to help scout apartments.

I'd still get it retested. The potential peace of mind is worth it.

That is a lot like the Arizona forum. It is just a bunch of grab assing in there.

Ok well I went to Science of Speed in Tempe on my lunch today and they redid the compression test.

I got

#1: 185
#2: 180
#3: 180
#4: 185

kinda better in that it is uniform. SoS's theory is that there was still fuel being injected during the last test and thats why the numbers were getting worse and worse. So while the compression is low at least we have even cylinder wear.

I did not put any engine treatments in. Just straight up tested again. Didn't get leakdown since I was just there for my lunch.

Chris from SoS is saying for my mileage he would expect between 190-200 so I am a bit low but not by an awful amount. He said he would sell it without any guilt and I'm leaning towards that. If someone wants to bargain because of the numbers thats cool too. I can understand that. At least I know that there is even wear.

Man I've never seen so many NSXs in one place..actually at gt live 2004 I saw more but not up close. Come on powerball!
