1990 Quasar Blue ZR-1 F/S

I'm just not putting the miles on her that I'd hoped to - and the wife doesn't drive a standard. I'm planning to move to a C5 or C6 Auto (I still have a C2 4 speed to drive on weekends).

Re: EX5023 and EX5014 Together Again

Gorgeous! I love the color, looks similar to the Marina blue on my 67. Was this color ever used in production? I'm obviously a fan of Blue...

Re: High Idle

Or, if you're afraid you might torch the garage in the process (like me) - you can use a spray bottle with water - your idle will decrease when a leak sucks in the water

Re: High Idle

Marc Haibeck will also bore your TB and custom fit the blades. I had mine done when I ported the intake. I have no DAG - but no idle issues.

I'd just make sure first (before you get into a TB...

Re: Clutch Slave Cylinder Question

Jim was also super helpful when I dealt with him. I bought a new SS from him (still need to send my old one back to him for rebuild) because mine was seeping fluid.

As long as I'd owned the...

Re: How to know if its time to change the clutch or not? ---

Before tearing into the clutch, suggest you check that the reservoir is up, and that the slave is not leaking. I had a leaking slave and it had a noticeable effect on the behavior of the clutch

Re: Ported Intake Gasket Woes

Yup, per FSM - sequence and Torque. I believe Marc H uses a different sequence - but I used FSM sequence. #4 and #6 Torque may be a bit off because my socket wont fit between the runners - so I use...

Re: Ported Intake Gasket Woes

Jerry, read your questions more carefully. Your observation that the inboard gasket material is pushed out is interesting. I was focused on the vacuum leak - the outboard area pulled in - which I...

Re: Ported Intake Gasket Woes

Thanks for the questions and suggestion Jerry, Lee.

OK - The last 2 times I attached the gaskets to the Plenum using contact cement - maybe that was not such a good idea.

The plenum seems to...

Re: Ported Intake Gasket Woes

My intake seriously sucks, you can see what it did to the gasket. Just the one spot where I developed a leak. When I used std thickness gaskets in the past - had a much worse problem - with leaks on...

Re: Ported Intake Gasket Woes

Glad I ordered a set of gaskets....

As I suspected, the Plenum gasket has been sucked into the runner, leaving a gap between the IH and Plenum. You can see in the photo...

I re-torqued all...

Ported Intake Gasket Woes

I have a recurring problem with gasket sealing after porting my plenum (so thinner gasket and less meat for them to hold onto) . I'm on my second set of gaskets after porting, and just ordered my...

Re: Door sill protectors

I looked for long time, couldn't get a new set - finally found a used set. Be careful, I ended up sending 2 sets back that I ordered from vendors - who substituted non ZR-1 sets.

Good luck.

Lee, I wished you'd posted 10 minutes earlier....

Re: The Dreaded No Start

Guys, thanks a lot for your inputs.

Lee - your photo's on your post (#13) shows that your 90 has the exact same clutch switch as my car - which is really weird because that switch is not what is...

The Dreaded No Start

Took my son to his roller hockey game today. Came out after the game and its dead as a doornail. No solenoid click - nothing. Wiggled the clutch switch with my fingers - still nothing. Had the wife...

Re: Gage Cluster

Correct - importing a US spec car more than 15 years old is no problem. You will need to get a safety check (at least in BC) before you can register the car - but you bypass the whole RIV headache.
