The car needed more then i thought but its all fixed now. Did all work myself with no prior lt5 exper.
What she needed.
1) New Master cylinder. (Brakes would drag as car warmed up.)
2) Work on secondaries. (Replaced a bad Secondary throttle linkage, bad vacuum actuator, some cracked out lines ect.) Secondary's were off line for a long time on this car.
3) Replaced Transmission 2cnd gear synco was bad. (Got a killer deal on a blue tag)
4) Starter was brand new but lug was loose, wouldn't kick over
5) I think the front Leaf spring is a bit weak, so I lowered the back a small bit and got a fresh alignment. Wow what a difference.
6) Repaired the Fx-3 system with new gears. Works well now.
The owner before me was a Lease manager at a chevy dealership and this car he picked up from a customer. He did the following in the spring before he sold it to me. Complete Gasket Set, oil pan, injector housings, plenum. While they gad the oil pan off they found wear on the bearings, replaced lower bearings. A bunch of other stuff also was done I have the receipts for the parts totaled about 4K. He had the work done at the dealership.

The First drive in this car for me was horrible as No secondary operation, Starter wasn't kicking in , no fx3, running hot then the brakes were dragging real bad. The guy i bought it from would ^%$# if he stepped on the throttle now.=D>

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the NetRegistry. For the money, there is nothing like a ZR-1; but now you already know this!

Welcome to the forum. Now that you have your feet "wet" with the things you already have done it's time to think 'MODS"
