Well, I dont know if many of you recall the "deal" I got on my car back in October. I bought it from a member of CF who had it for a little while. (I'll leave out names to protect the innocent)....I think I did still get a good deal, but it probably wouldnt be if I had to send the car out for all the work to be done, instead of doing it myself.
I have been learning alot & discovering alot about the car itself. Knowing myself, sometimes I think I purchased the wrong car. Being a bit of a perfectionist, I like everything to be just so......and its taking a fair amount of effort to get things right. Thats fine, cause I actually do like working on cars. It gives me satisfaction to bring cars "back to life" so to speak. That being said, I know the car will never be a perfect specimen. Thats ok too. Its my first ZR, but not my last.
Like many of you, I have really caught the sickness....I've been trying to sell my Z06....to get another ZR:razz: ....beit, not very hard. I love my Z06 also.
In the meantime, I plan on making the 92 run as best as I can get it. Anything thats questionable will get repaired or replaced. I want to make sure its healthy & in top running condition before adding the fun stuff. :dancing ie: headers/exhaust, Fidenza flywheel, brake upgrades etc.
Heres the short list of what I've done thus far:
1. reverse light switch
2. 4 wheel brake job, pads & rotors
3. new brake M/C
4. Accel injectors (x16)
5. Accel coils
6. Iridium plugs
7. Secondary actuators
8. Serpentine belt
9. T-stat
10. Samco Hoses
11. New Radiator
12. changed rear end lube/Royal Purple
13. Amsoil & filter
14. Air filter
.........and many hours of cleaning suspension parts, engine, etc. Thanks to all you guys who have given good advice and steered me in the right direction. I dont think I would've had the incentive to do all this stuff without the Registry and its members. :worship:
