Looking for Georgia mechanic

[rogerzr1]

I need some work done on my 1991 ZR1. I live in Cartersville GA, about 40 miles north of Atl. I am looking for somewhere to have my car worked on. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?:iamwithst

[Corvette95]

If you drive south a little to south georgia , Aaron at South Georgia Corvette is your man. World known ZR1 specialist.

[rogerzr1]

Do you know where in South GA. By the way very impressive list of cars. Who do use in AL?

I do my own work and specialty C4 repair for others as time permits.

[rogerzr1]

Hello and welcome to the forum:handshak:

Give Aaron a call and speak with him. I suspect you will want to bring in your Z despite the drive.

What wrong with it? You are not to far from me in Canton there are also a few more in canton

[rogerzr1]

It needs new injectors and there is problem with the check valve that is not letting the secondaries work. Where do you take your Z. I grew up in Lake Arrowhead so I am very familar with Canton. Is there anyone local?

[We Gone]

Maybe a few of us that are in the area can get with rogerzr1 and help him out??? :handshak: I have about half a dozen plenum pulls under my belt and two injector changes along with the vacuume issues.

Just let me know.....:hello:

ShawnZR1 you around...

I just do it my self I am sure we gone and us could give you a hand

[rogerzr1]

I appreciate everyones help. I will probably just take it down to Tom Jumper and have them work on it. I was hoping to find a local guy who would let me watch him work on it so I get be more knowledgable about the car.

Do any of you guys in GA get together? After I get my car fixed I would like to meet some of you guys.

[We Gone]

If you would rather pay someone check out the peachstateposse and find out what dealer David Fulcher went to..He knows ZR-1's

[rogerzr1]

It isn't that I don't think you guys know what to do or how to fix a ZR1. It is more that I don't want to bother someone with the troubles I have with this car anymore than just getting info.

Does anyone know where David F is working now?:iamwithst

Roger, Hi, I'm the perpetual NOOB!:o

I'd like to relate something to you that I witnessed at Carlisle this year. Please, I'm saying this in the humblest way I can.

Saturday, 9/25 it was 97* in the shade w/ 100% humidity and I watched Messers Haibeck & Haibeck and Mr. Gordon Kilibrew plus a bunch of other Z owners sweatin' bullits over a members Z that had an idle issue. Actually I'm no mechanic but they were working near the TPS.....for an eternity these guys were at it till they got it as right as could be done under the conditions and with what simple tools they could muster up. That day I really learned what Brothers of the Beast meant.

I've had my Z since late 04 and I found that we, the brothers of the beast, are the best source to solve our issues short of the few real ZR-1 specialists that we have. Oh, yea, those ZR-1 specialists.....most own ZR-1's!

To tell ya the truth I know that these guys here from your neighborhood were typing with one hand while reaching for their tools with the other. The down side is that ya gotta feed & water them and your hands will need some go-jo......but the upside is that you will have learned about your car first hand.....and that's better than letting some one else learn on your car.

Okay I apologize for sticking my nose in! I proly shouldn't have posted this too! The thing is, I have learned that this is the truth.

Tom,

I think I am begining to understand what you are talking about. Everyone has been great to respond with helpful information and when guys started offering to actually help do the work it caught me off guard.

I guess where I am coming from is that, I would rather get to know these guys first before I start asking for help. I would feel like a leech having just started and having these guys bail me out of my troubles.

I hope to get the car running well and them hopefully meet some of these guys. It seems like a great community of people to be a part of.

Anyway, I have rambled enough. Just wanted to let ya know where I am coming from.

Roger

Hey....that was me :) Gordon and I were trying to adjust the Idle Stop on a members car, it was a very small area to work and didnt have the right tools, but we were able to run the idle stop up as far as the bolt travel would go, still needed a little more but we were out of threads on the bolt!

[We Gone]

Having owned Corvettes for over 30 years, I can say I have found in the last 5 the ZR-1 community is by far the strongest it’s as if we are here to support the beast.

Just sending David a PM on the PSP site

Corvette95 :thumbsup: =D> you guys were the men that day!


Roger, I'm the one that rambles!:redface:

Just one more ramble......and this is also the truth I've learned!

You own a ZR-1, you already know these people because this is a brotherhood.....it's truly not the car, rather it truly is the people.

Oh, bye the way, welcome to the Brotherhood!:handshak:

Oh and BTW, after that throttle adjustment, I am now making a SPECIAL tool JUST for that one proceedure. Should be ready in the next few feeks.

:thumbsup: =D>

any ideas on selling them? I'll take one. Although, as I recall there was a conversation between you Techs that some other techs had worked on Dave's car and made some mistakes resulting in the idle condition.

Is that idle condition a result of mistakes by people who don't normally work on LT5's or it can happen to any of us?

:happy1:
Tom

[Corvette95]

I would give them at cost to anyone that wants one, the idle was just a setting, not really due to anything, other than when the plenum was off it didnt get adjusted correctly. no big deal

Well said Tom.

Welcome to the BOB Roger, you won't find a more knowlegable and dedicated group of ZR-1 (or any vette for that matter) guys anywhere as you will on this forum.:cheers:

[guinnessdood]

Roger,

No worries...welcome the fellow ZR-1ers with open arms and open hood! It's the best way to git er done! You supply the snacks and beverages and they'll provide the lessons...it's just one big happy family. There's plenty to learn and it really isn't that tough. This is what the Brotherhood of the Beast is all about.

Let us know when and how much as soon as they are ready! Seems like a big tuning help as troublshooters work their magic.
