Is there not a particular procedure we can use - especially on the OEM Veleo - where we can be sure the clutch will be properly broken in?

As my luck usually goes,
i try and fix something, screw the pooch, and then need to pay someone to fix my screwup.
I have released the wire fastener that holds the bottom seat cover secure.

And after gazing at the conglomeration of wires and pumps and a full bottle of budweiser ??? I'm guessing i need to remove the 4 bolts on the corners, to remove one seat. anyone want to chime in here, now would be a perfect setting. pics would be better, showing up at the house with a case of beer and a tool box even more so.
On a serious note, i don't want to break anything....any comments are usually appreciated...thanks in advance i think. ]]> ZR-1 Technical Postings ITLGO2 http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12764 http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12763&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:03:41 GMT hey members, Fidanza is offering $330 shipped with NO minimum to buy....

To the thief stealing gas caps during Corvettes at Carlisle- THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU!


Dear Thief-

First, I?d like to thank you for the sleepless night last evening. I could not sleep because I was furious after hearing that for a second year in a row you have stolen vintage Corvette gas caps from wonderful friends and supporters of Corvettes at Carlisle. Ironically enough my team and I should be glowing because we had record numbers throughout our weekend and the weather was downright incredible. However, my mind is in another direction and I?d like to share it with you and the Corvette community as a whole.

Many of you might know that when I have a vision or a dream I go after it. I give my all to succeed. My new mission is to have you caught and put behind bars. I intend to succeed at this too. I?m a firm believer that good things come to good people. And on the other hand - bad things come to bad people. You are a downright bad person. Things might seem wonderful for you now, especially after such a successful weekend of stealing other people?s hard earned property. I?m guessing you?ll most likely try to sell these gas caps ? and you?ll probably get some money. What I just don?t understand, and will never understand, is how you can sleep at night knowing how many people you?ve upset this past weekend (9 gas caps were reported stolen this weekend).

To those of you that had your gas caps stolen, please accept my sincere apologies. Please note that in the special display areas such as the 50th Anniversary, we had a security guard on duty all through the evening. However a couple of the owners let me know they felt the thief took the gas caps in the morning, right under our noses. To say I?m upset about this is an understatement.

With all of this said?I?m asking for the entire Corvette community to come together. Let?s join forces and find the person or circle of people that are stealing innocent enthusiasts and businesses owner?s products. If you see somebody that?s taking off a gas cap question find a security guard and tell them. What I enjoy most about the Corvette hobby is the true camaraderie and passion behind it. Again, I?m asking the entire Corvette community to come together as a whole and let?s find the few bad seeds and weed them out. I give you my word I?ll do my best.

If you have any ideas of how we can catch this person, I urge you to email me: lancem@carlisleevents.com.

Thief ? if you have a change of heart after reading this letter and you want to return the gas caps ? you can ship all of them to me and I will make sure they get back to their rightful owners. You can send the caps to me at the following address: Carlisle Events (attention: Lance Miller), 1000 Bryn Mawr Road; Carlisle PA 17013.

Thank you for your time.

Very aggravated,

Lance Miller

PS Please cut & paste this message everywhere you feel would help spread the word - we need to come together on this one! I appreciate your help & plan on personally contacting editors at various automotive magazines to help me spread the word. ]]> ZR-1 Net Registry Club News ZZZZZR1 http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12760 http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12759&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:12:19 GMT Took the filter off the 92 and surprise......oil came flowing our everywhere, never had that happen before.

I also installed a new clutch assbly from autozone and a sprung hub disc for a Camaro. Since I was taking down the C beam I installed the beam plates.

I thought a bad clutch disc was the cause of my slipping issues, after taking everything apart it I found my throwout bearing internally separated. The clutch disc was worn but still serviceable and the flywheel and pressure plate looked fine.

All-in-all the hardest part of the job was by far removing the C beam from the vehicle. Everything else was pretty basic. If there is one thing I could add to everyone else's great advice it would be to use an impact wrench to remove as many bolts as possible. I used a cordless one and it made this job so much easier, especially since I did 90% of it by myself. I had to bug my neighbor and his nephew to help with the tranny install. It is one heavy sob and using the tip of alignment stubs really helped speed up the tranny install.

Okay, so I finished up about 6 hrs after I started (3 hrs on Sat and 3 hrs on Sunday) and took it for a test drive. Wow, it feels like a different beast now. That aluminum flywheel is the bees knees, it really lets the engine rev freely. I didn't get on it because I have to break it in but I am really happy with how it drives now.

Thanks again to everyone sharing their valuable tips and hopefully I have added something that someone else will find useful.:salute: ]]> ZR-1 Technical Postings pantera1683 http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12757 http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12756&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:06:40 GMT silver c6 vert with a z06 nose? is this a new model vette or just a z06 noes on a vert? silver c6 vert with a z06 nose? is this a new model vette or just a z06 noes on a vert? ]]> OFF TOPIC Kevin http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12756 http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12755&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:02:46 GMT I have an '89 Turbo Trans Am with the 3.8L Turbo, which is a higher horsepower version of the Buick Grand National motor.
