Carlisle 2023 - Soliciting Demonstration Topics - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Vette Guy · 07-13-2023

All,

We are in process of planning our maintenance seminar for Corvettes at Carlisle. As such, we are soliciting your input to see what topics you would like us to cover. Typically we demonstrate using a members (or our own) ZR-1. Also, if you have an issue you would like us to address on your ZR-1 during the event, reply below and we will discuss what we can do.

Regards,
Mark

To those that may be unaware of the limitless abilities of this group,this is one of the greatest benefits of Carlisle. In the years of my membership I have had Marc replace the ecm chip, Jim has pulled the plenum two separate times to locate and repair vacuum leaks and last year we replaced the sport seat bladders. These demonstrations alway draw a crowd so don?t be afraid to bring some tools and parts and this group can probably make it happen. Membership really does have its advantages!!

My headlight motors are bone stock. I bought the bushings and gears to replace them but havent gotten to them yet. If you guys are interested, Id be happy to offer up my car for the demo.

Mark, this might be a little too specific but I would like to see someone present something about tuning.

Vette Guy · 07-14-2023

Both really great ideas. Keep them coming!

Headlight bushings should not be a problem, and I'll have to think about the tuning presentation / demonstration, as we'll need some A/V equipment - projector/screen/power. We may have a presentation from a prior Gathering that would be helpful. Note that it will not teach you how to become a great tuner, but at least provide an understanding of what's involved: the equipment needed, understanding how the ECM works, importance of your sensors and a few other considerations - I like the idea.

Regards,
Mark

Wow, that's a great idea! The Tech 1 can do so much but many don't know how to operate it. There are also some other options for scanners. I have a Bosch OBD1300 that works on the ZR-1. I'm sure there are others that folks can share as well.

I wouldn't mind seeing this as this is a pending job for my Z as well.

Wouldn't mind seeing something on troubleshooting ABS. Mine has never worked right, so could be the demo car. Also, I have the Bosch manual for it ('89 - '92).

I would not mind to see a plenum pull. I know one day I will need to do it but I t would be great to see the experts do it.
