ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - Update on my hi-miler Z project

Finally got the car off the jackstands yesterday, got the corsa exhaust bolted up (though pretty poorly rigged on the passenger side at the header collector connection). Fired right up, and idled nicely at around 1000 rpm (indicated on tach, who knows how accurate). Lots of smoke initially, due to grease burning off of the newly installed headers, but otherwise no issues. Idled long enough to get up to operating temp, thermostat open, fan running, No check engine light (yay). Brake pedal is nonexistent, so I've got to do some more bleeding apparently.

The stock boot was very bunched up and restricting movement of the ZFDoc shortened shifter. I've got a new shifter boot and console armrest cover on the way from redline goods, will take pics after install.

We're gettin' there!
