Re: Seat conversion...
I put '96 sport seats into my '90. I absolutely love them. As I recall, they were just plug and play for the position controls. I didn't bother with the lumbar controls because I never used them.

1). Would a ZR-1 be a good daily driver?
I drive mine almost every day that it is not raining and I love it. I work in two different cities, one of my drives is 30 miles, the other is ~60. I've...

Re: Thanks to the List!

Re: Weird (?) AC problem
Wow...I can't believe that I never posted the solution to my problem.. It's kind of funny that I'm doing it in the middle of winter!

Re: Tire recommendations
I put Sumitomo HTR Zs on my 90 a couple of months ago. The things said in other threads about these tires were very accurate. They don't grip as well as the factory tire, but they ride much better....

Re: LT5/auto in a C3 feasibility?
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. It's such a tough call. I'm guessing that the LS swap is much easier. Can you keep the analogue gauges with the LS? As strange as it seems, part of my...

LT5/auto in a C3 feasibility?
Anyone got thoughts of doing an LT5 with automatic transmission in a C3? I recently bought a '73 coupe that I'm crazy about. But, the L48 just isn't cutting it. Given that I love the LT5...

Re: How old are the ZR-1 owners?
I'm 30. I was 28 when I bought the car. I'm looking forward to a long relationship with the ZR-1 because I tend to get attached to my vehicles. My dad bought me a new truck when I was 14 (a 1993...

Re: Leaky Radiator
Thanks! I'll check both out.
I'm leaning toward the bypass feature of the thermostat b/c my leak is happening at high rev. I'd say 5500 to 6500 RPM.

On Friday, I spent some time trying (yet again) to troubleshoot my rough idle. I should have known better, given that it was the 13th! No luck... I was shut down early because of another issue.

Re: Rough Idle/Hesitation/Backfire
The issue is deeper than rough idle. It is a hesitation in the ~1500 to 2200ish RPM range.
Pete, you guessed right about the plugs. Am I correct in assuming that I've gone wrong with these? ...

Re: Weird (?) AC problem
I'll check the pressure switches. Also, the next time it quits on me, I'll give the motor a good wack and see if it picks back up!

Re: Rough Idle/Hesitation/Backfire
Thanks for all the advise! At idle the spark sounds "loud and clear"... Does anyone know if there is a way to test the ECM before I send it off to have it rebuilt?
