Is there a member who's also a mechanic? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

vilant · 07-13-2012

I live in Warminster PA. I've already fixed various minor problems w/ my '90 Z. Was wondering if anyone could recommend a trustworthy mechanic nearby. Still need to get the car inspected and I have other issues I'll need help with, like service ride light is on (checked the front shocks, they're OK), so that leaves the rear. Oil pressure sensor is on the fritz (may fix this my self). Digital display dims sometimes

Also need tires soon. Just want someone who knows the ZR-1 to inspect it, tune it, tell me if there's anything else wrong, and do some of the repairs for me, as my time and garage space are limited. Thanks, Joe

Joe

You are outside Philadelphia, yes? If you don't mind a ride to
Westminster md, I'm sure wazoo (local Z owners) can help

There is another Z owner from Phili coming down for injector replacement in mid August. Maybe we can schedule both the same day

Sending you an email Joe!

Yep, I'm 35min NW of Center City Philly. Would love to go, just have to check w/ the wife to make sure there's no plans w/ the kids on the day they're meeting. Thanks

See that's one big advantage you Eastern people have. Even if you're in a different state it's only a few minutes away

Hi Joe,

My brother lives about 5 miles from you in Dresher, but he does not have a ZR-1. I was up at his house in my ZR-1 for a wedding a week ago.
You are about 2.5 hours from me.

Anyway. I live in Westminster, Maryland, and you are always welcome to come to one of our WAZOO Westminster Maintenance Days at my garage. We will be glad to help you get your Z in tip-top condition.

I will be traveling between now and Corvettes at Carlisle, so the next WMD will be in September.

I hope you are going to be at Carlisle.

Jim

Cool, thx. As long as my schedule allows it would love to come down and learn as much as possible. My goal is to have my car operating like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Keep me posted.

Thx, I heard about the Nitto's, good tire at a great price. Although I heard the rear tires will fit on the rims, they don't look quite right.

Hey Joe,

My name is Tom Neilson and I'm the guy David ( ZZZZR1 ) was referring to about heading down to Westminster for injector replacement. Should you decide to go down and they ( WAZOO ) decide they can do both in one day, we can hook up and head down together. They're a great group of guys, as I've met several.

Hey Tom and Joe
So great to see there a few other z's. in pa! my name is Dave, and im in the allentown bethlehem area. we should have a pa meet and greet some time.

hope to see you at carlisle.
