[ZR1FUN]

It would be great to have this history on CD. Let me know where to send you som $$$ for the CD, a few beers and postage.

Thanks

Doug:proud:

[A1990]

Count me in.

[LGAFF]

I will get started, there is one mag I need to find it shows power adders on the ZR-1 starting with stock, then exhaust, open filter, exhaust, then and extrud hone intake.


If there are any other "essentials" let me know and I will track them down.

Copying the RPO guide should be worth it alone:)

Yes please What a wonderful treasure. You can't believe how many times I kicked myself for giving away ALL those magazines over the years starting in 1988 when I read the 1st one and later got personalized CA plates ZR!-LT5 for the '89 I planned to buy.
When it was delayed and I needed to replace my company car I then had an '89 Cad eldo with those plates. Drove every one nuts trying to figure out what it meant.
2 years later when lease expired I got my 1st ZR-1


Please let me know when, how and how much I need pay you
Thanks very much

I'd also like a copy Lee. Thanks!

[tomtom72]

Thank you Lee. :thumbsup:


I'm in and just tell me where to send the cash!

:cheers:

[LGAFF]

I will start scanning all the articles tonight, will put the RPO book on a sep CD.

[scholtmj]

+1 for me.

[BOB HDZ]

I'AM IN

[John Boothby]

I'll take one also!

[rgfllamas]

Sounds great, count me in as well

Ken

[LGAFF]

Any thoughts on a fair price?

[John Boothby]

How many CD's to hold this? I'd pay $75. Should be good quality and easy to select article you want to read. Maybe DVD? Just throwing this out there

[DaveK]

I'm in also.

[LGAFF]

Let me put some work into and see how many CDs it will take, hopfully just one...I was thinking more along the lines of $20 for the mag articles, and if you want the RPO guide adding $5-10 plus postage.

[rogerzr1]

I'm in!

[DaveK]

I've done some work authoring CDs in the past. Let me know if I can help at all.

Dave

[LGAFF]

I have been told to put it on a DVD as it has more capacity. Any thoughts?

[DaveK]

DVDs have about 6+ times the capacity of a CD, depending on the exact type of DVD you use. The authoring process is the same though. If you are thinking of including any kind of video DVD is probably a must, if it's mainly article reprints a CD should cover it but it depends on how much material there is of course. From what you listed in your first post I'd say a CD would do.

Avoid cheap CDs/DVDs. Ones that use cyanine dye will often fail within a year or so. Good ones tend to have a golden colour when viewed from underneath (not the top which is often a fake gold layer to fool people). Mitsui Gold Archival DVD-Rs are probably about the best around.

For a menu you can just create a web page and put it on the disk as an index. This will open on pretty much any pc going.

Count me in, Lee.

[bdw18_123]

If the price ends up being around the $20 mark, count me in too. :thumbsup:

[tomtom72]

Sorry I haven't been here every day to keep track of this thread. I have some stuff that is taking up all my spare time.

Lee, I know you and I know you are more than fair with your estimate of the value of stuff. So I'm still in. You just post up the price when you figure it out.:handshak:

Oh, this is just MHO on how fair a guy Lee is. Just check out all the work and what the final product looked like vs the price charged when Lee did the cam cover emblems if you need any verification of how fair minded a person we are dealing with here.:o

I'm interested.

[Meanmyz]

This is a great idea. Count me in too. I will check over your list tomorrow and see if I have any magazines that aren't already on your list.:cheers:

[ZZZZZR1]

I'm interested too!

[LGAFF]

All I can say this is a butt load of articles. FYI I am not going to copy anything still available in print. I am guessing this will be over 150 pages of material. I am also including some of the interesting ads such as the mobile 1 ads around the World Record Run.

[LGAFF]

OK, make that 200 pages+

[LGAFF]

Here is the final count on articles, there are over 250 pages


Many of these are special issues with multiple articles.....I think you will all like these

+The artlices posted here 6-7 more magazines

I have them all scanned just need to put them in files by magazine and then burn to a disk.

The LT-5 RPO Guide will be sold separately and available once I am done scanning.

[LGAFF]

As a Bonus, I will be adding the 1990 ZR-1 Drivers Manual(the small hardbound book) to this CD. Some good stuff in there!

[Ccmano]

Where do I sign up...?

[2ZR1S]

+1 for me.

Thanks:cheers:

[vettn71]

Lee

That would be great!!:notworthy

Jim

[brodykelly]

let me know where to sign up for one of these.....sounds great!!

[LGAFF]

Ok, its done I just need to get some disks to copy them onto...25+ magazines(many with mutliple articles) and over 300 pages of material. This also includes the Pizza Box Drivers manual that discusses not just the car, but racing set ups.


Depending on the CD price(material) I am looking at $20 and a few bucks shipping. These magazines cost me probably $250-300 to acquire(maybe more). I will proof the material tomorrow to make sure its in order.


Will be scanning both the STG Intro to LT-5 Guide and the LT-5 RPO guide(Thats the red supplemental) withing the next 2 weeks, these two combined will also be $20.00.

[Kevin]

too rich for me, i'm out

[Locobob]

Great idea, I'd like to have a copy. I think $20 is pretty reasonable for the collection.

[tf95ZR1]

me 2

[thethrillofspeed]

I'm in for $20 plus shipping

[LGAFF]

Ok, the CD is done and ready to be sent out....Cost is $22 Shipped, which includes the CD in a plastic Case. It is not labeled I figure leave that up to you....if you break it or lose it, replacements are cost of shipping(for as long as I have copies)

350 items on the disc

If you want a copy, send $22 to leegaffigan@yahoo.com via paypal, if you want to mail a check let me know. My thought is to mail out the first 5, have everyone review it for quality, before I send the balance of the copies. I went through all of the articles and rescanned some for better quality and verified the page. Its on Adobe.....adobe viewer is a free download if you don't have it.

I know some may think the price is high, but this is $300 worth of mags I bought, CDs cost money, cover cost money, probably 15-20hrs to scan these articles, I don't have a dedicated burner for CDs, so 10-15 minutes to burn every CD, then I have to drive 20 minutes to the post office and back to mail them, so really this is about sharing info....I work 80 miles from home so I get about 3 free hours per night on the weekdays. Not bitchin just trying to put into perspctive on how much work it takes to make these and share them....

Thanks,

Lee

[HIZNHRZ]

Great idea. I'd like to get one please.

[ZR1Vette]

Count me in too please :handshak: Where do I send shipping info etc.

Thanks big time for doing this!!!

[LGAFF]

If you would like one, my paypal is leegaffigan@yahoo.com and or if you want to buy via us mail, send me your request to my e-mail at leegaffigan@yahoo.com and I will sent you my address.

[-=Jeff=-]

do you have an index on there with the articles too?

[LGAFF]

Each Magazine has a file that is labeled with Mag Title, I guess I can add it today before shipping it out.....I am not a pro so I don't know a lot of tricks with this stuff. Quality of copies is good and clear.


Actually, I think it is ok as is, the files have a description in them for example MT 10 88 Heavy Breather is the label of the folder and that is the title, which means Motor Trend Oct 88 Article title is heavy breathers......another SCI 5 92 Snakeskinner........Sports Care Internation May 1992. Is that OK?

Lee, You missed my Black Widow in Feb 1994 Car & Driver. It was a shootout titled "The Power Brokers"

[LGAFF]

I will start a collection for Vol II:cheers:



Nice Dymags by the way

[LGAFF]

Just bought, please tell me you ran well under 13

[BlackWidow#2]

Lee, I only had it at the track once. This was probably in 98 or 99. I had a pressure plate problem at the time (centerforce, weights sticking) and could not get any clean shifts. It ran 12.20 at 120. It shifts much better now with SPEC stage 2, but I haven't been back. Was looking forward to Corvette Challenge. Are your Dymags the same?
George

[LGAFF]

Yep......Gen II. I bought the April 94 issue and that blck widow only ran a 12.9. 12.2 @ 120 is damn fast

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Received the disc today.

Thanks, Lee

[BLACK90ZR1]

PayPal sent Fenwick Binder

[LGAFF]

Should be able to get it out tomorrow.

[LGAFF]

Just got the Magazine with your Blackwidow, looks like it ran 12.7 at 115.....and it had a gas flow problem and detonation. Interesting note it says the dymags are wider in the front and and inch narrower in the rear to improve handling .........what size are your rear dymags....

[soslow]

It sounds like a great idea, count me in.
