Re: Who's Modding this winter?
Prolly not too much.
Perhaps open the TB to 63mm, and fuss with an idea I have for smoothing the air flow through the air horn. Some cosmetic things on the interior that need to be done; saggin headliner, re-cover the speakers at the kick panels, stuff like that. I thought about installing an electric water pump. But, after seeing what happended to Pete after his failed...I'm not so sure anymore. (We briefly grazed the topic of some pump failure sensors, but (I) haven't discussed it beyond that.) Then just yesterday, while "blowing out some cobwebs", the GM spring clamp on my right side coolant pipe allowed the hose to slip off of the pipe. When I noticed the fog behind me, the temp was already climbing, and got oh so close to that hashed line area at the top end of the temp scale before I could pull off the highway. Now I'm praying I didn't hurt it! So, this being the second time I've had coolant issues at WOT, the thought again returns to the electric pump. However, I wouldn't install it w/o some redundant monitoring scheme (prolly a combination of electrical and temperature sensing). We'll see. P. |

Re: Who's Modding this winter?
Maybe you should get better hose clamps. Sounds like your spring clamp has sprung somewhat.

Re: Who's Modding this winter?
Coilovers will be installed over the winter. I cannot say I am looking forward to this project but I am looking forward to the results after installation. I did this on my race car a LONG time ago and I still have not forgot what a pain in the *** this is but it will be worth it. I just love the looks of a ZR-1 dropped to an agressive ride height. Good luck to all with their projects. I hope we have lots of pics and stories this soring.

Re: Who's Modding this winter?
I can tell you that if you are a needle width from the red zone on the temp gauge, that's about 235 degrees F on as reported by the tech1.
