Heart of the Beast Artical Ideas

[mgbrv8]

Hello gentlemen, as some of you may know I rather enjoy finding DIY solutions to our problems when it comes to the Zr-1s. I have written a number of articles for the Heart of the Beast newsletter so far and I have a few more up my sleeve but I wanted to ask if there is anything out there that I need to look into. Below is a list of what I have done so far. I want our cars to be usable for generations to come.


1 Lt5 belt tensioner rebuild
2 oil pressure switch removal
3 Adding a air bleed to our water pumps
4 Rebuilding our AC compressors

Dave, you've done a great job and I look forward to more articles from you. We need all the content we can get in order to make each Issue successful.

Thanks, Sir!

If I knew more about these cars I would have some suggestions. I rather like the news letter. The first one I read from a few weeks ago was awesome.

Something I would maybe look into is, a DIY tuning article. Start to finish.

Dave you have written some great and very informative write ups. Thank You sir.

This is one many of us have dealt with or will at some time and is no longer available. I know it can be jumped out but I prefer to have it for safety issues.

I have one idea has anyone taken apart the (neutral) clutch safety switch to see what fails i would assume contacts and if the can be repaired on modified to work again?

Thanks

First off thank you all for the great feed back I am always afraid that I don't come off clear because of my engineering background and I tend to write in a very analytical manner. I know Poor Mark has alot of grammar errors to correct for sure.

Billy mild the tuning articles are being research for sure I'm pretty sure when I do them they will be a two to three part series each. The thing with my articles is that I wont offer a article on something I haven't done and documented so they take some time.

Steve the neutral safety switch sounds very interesting. Now I have only owned a Z for 5years and Im not aware we had a neutral safety switch. I know we have a clutch switch that has issues. But If anyone has a faulty switch they would want to share I would gladly dissect it and try to find a solution.

This is great feedback and Ideas so far gentlemen and is very helpful

Dave, you are correct, it is the clutch switch I just referred to it as neutral I always have the trans out of gear (neutral) but still have to engage the clutch for a start.
