Default I hope you guys dont mind

I know I'm the new guy here and I plan on being around for as long as life will allow I know there are a lot of threads on this website that have most of the answers to my questions.. I will try and read as mush as I can , but I honestly have very very very little time . I eat every meal on the run. I went from 4-5 days at the gym down to 1-2. I have 3 construction / remodel jobs going all at once ( everyone wants it now) and I work by myself.. Plus I'm trying to study for more electrical exams.. I'm wanting to get my vette paid off asap - This economy is really bad and I took out a loan to get my car.. But I'm sure not scared of any work.. I want all I can get ..even if it means pulling 20 hr. shifts.. So Guys if I ask some of the same old questions please bare with me . And if there is someone here in TN that works on these zr's and doesn't mind when he is working on one ,having me stop by and look and ask some questions that would be great. I used to be a really good mechanic ( I actually had a Transmission business for a while). I actually burned out turning a wrench & never thought t hat would happen. So I guess I just want to say thanks for answering any questions and if you're near TN stop on in the gate's open..

I don't mind at all. I think that you will find the Registry Forum to be a fairly friendly place. Ask away.

Don't forget to drvie your ZR-1 as often as you can. From personal experience, it is great therapy!

Welcome and please , feel at home here. Ask away.
Now as far as finding a good LT5 mechanic in Tenn. ? Not sue about that. There is a good one in Bowling Green or the next would be Valdosta Ga.
Please don't be taking your car to the local mechanic or Chevy dealer. that will only lead to more problems.

Welcome to the Brotherhood!
Buddy of mine has a shop in Bowling Green, and he's quite a celebrity as well.
His name is Jim VanDorn and his shop is Automasters of Bowling Green.
Tell the 'ol Pirate I said Hi and to treat you well.
http://www.automastersofbg.com/
Jim has forgotten more about ZR1's than you or I will ever learn in our lifetimes.
Jim was the inspiration/instigation/perspiration behind Pirate Racing, a semi factory approved racing team using ZR1's in the '90's.
Jim was also personally responsible for naming the 8 DRM cars with the special factory assisted high performance modifications the "Black Widow" cars.
He still has one, a.k.a, "The Weekender", it's a beast.

Thanks , I belong to a couple other sites for trucks and bikes and a lot of times the guys start complaining to do a search .. Do a search ...! well hell if I have to do a serch or read a book then I wouldnt need the site.... So I appreciate it ! Time is a major factor for me, I'm going to be wide open throttle until my body gives out or I get the vette paid for

MR.Tom thanks for the connection.. If I need work thats probably where I'll have to go IF I cant fix it myself. If I can just get the basics of the car and how everything works I can usually figure everything else out, esp. with the help of the zr site. I'm a pretty good mechanic but its a new machine to me. Thanks again.

Well I see Cliff is editing the index to solutions right now but once he gets done and puts them back up this is the place to start.

>>> http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11619

Now if you do not see the info you need there then fire away with your questions.

BTW much other material is here
>> http://zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_tech_tips.htm
>> http://zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_issues.htm
>> http://zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_troubleshooting.htm

And also the ZR-1 Net -- a treasure of info there via the search feature
