WAZOO Family,

After a great day at Phil's this past Saturday, we had a little bit of spirited driving on our way to dinner.... as would be expected. A comment was made about the shift light inside my vent, as it was visible from the Z following behind me. It is a Harlan shift light - I've had it in the car for 10 years now, and never know it is there until I need it. I never look at the tach, rather it is always there to tell me what I want to know without looking, and without blinding me.

The goodness of the light is that it is self-contained, and adjustable in 100 RPM steps from 500 RPM to 12000 RPM without additional pills or modules. I disassembled mine, and located just the LEDs in the dead space of the right driver's vent. The module remains under my shift console, so it's not painful if I want to make an adjustment (I haven't in 10 years). I've been really happy with the light and believe it would be an enhancement that every ZR-1 owner must have.

More information on the light can be found on the Harlan Engineering website at: http://harlan-engineering.com/store/shiftlight/shiftlight.html

If you want to see mine in action, here's a video from 2003...http://www.corvetteaddiction.com/ZR1public/images/events/Texasmile/Mark3.avi

I've contacted Harlan, and he is willing to provide a discount for a group buy - normal price is $55; if I can get a commitment from 7 or more WAZOO members, our price will be ~$43ea for the red LED lights.

I've also discussed with Rich (Scrrem) and he is willing to do a WAZOO install day at his home in Alexandria. Our plan is for Rich and I to set up everything we need to do a group install.... yes, everyone will have work to do. We'll setup an assembly line and make a WAZOO day of it!

I plan on making an order with Harlan later this week, and we will setup a WAZOO install day once we receive the lights. I do not plan on shipping these, rather intend on these to be for the event or for members in the local area. Please post if you would like to place an order for one.

Thanks!
Mark

Just received confirmation that the lights will be here Saturday. I've coordinated with Rich for Sunday @ 9am for the installations. Sorry for the short lead time. Please post if you can make it, else we will find another time for anyone who can't make it to Rich's garage.

If I'm not too tired/feeling OK, might drop by in LilRed and watch/learn something/hang out. The '89 is still in VA Beach being finished up :rolleyes: so I am forced to be a spectator for a while...

I'll catch up with everyone when we install them ~$43 each with a few other parts I will provide.

Spectators are always welcome! ...and WAZOO events always make you feel better!!!

Many thanks to Mark for arranging and installing the Harlin Shift Light in my Z. Big thanks to Rich for hosting us all day and changing my oil/filter and transmission fluid. Thank you David for the engine clip and showing up with missing screws and thanks to Phil for lunch and his guidance.
What a perfect day to hang out with my Wazoo brothers.

Now just need to get the A/C figured out. Yun, you were missed but I have some transmission fluid for you.
