Re: ZR-1 donor car wanted, inexpensive

I would think that you could find any number of interesting homes for the drive train. I always thought it would be fun to use in a 70s era Camaro/Firechicken.

Re: '94 ZR-1 Sold on Cars & Bids in October-commentary

I watched a 21k mile '95 sell for $40,700 at Barret Jackson a week ago. Bid to 37k plus 10% buyers fee.

It was a nice car, nothing special but a solid low-mile car that you'd be able to drive.

Gauge/Bezel lettering

For the 90-93 cars with the orange lettering, does anyone know the name of the color used? Better yet, the Pantone?

I've seen people paint the bezels when they eventually get worn, but the issue...

Steering Rack

Is the 80s Z51 (2 turns lock to lock) rack a direct drop in for our ZR-1? I've been doing quite a bit of research but I can't seem to nail down anyone actually confirming that a quick rack will fit...

Re: Best Seating Mod - Hugely More Comfortable!

I'll add a little color to this, as I worked at the design center at one time.

The "Oscar", as we called it, is the standard man used to design interior ergonomics. It has changed a bit over the...

Re: '91 cosmetic refresh/restore

Thanks for the compliments everyone. It is always a pucker moment when you go for a full color change, as it is expensive to do it right, and you really have to trust your instincts as to how the...

Yes, that's what I'm hearing from everyone. Seems like the smart thing to do next while I wait for wheels.

'91 cosmetic refresh/restore

I thought I'd share my journey here with my '91.

I bought it 4 years ago from a forum member. It already had numerous upgrades (Haibeck 500, blueprinted trans from Bill Boudreau, harness bar,...

Re: Gas Cap

Is there any reason one of these won't fit a '91? I also have a locking cap which annoys the heck out of me.

Re: Brakes VS Hp

I'll post some photos when it all comes together--we are probably still 2 months out thanks to 'rona supply chain issues.

For wheels, I went with the Work Meister S1 3 piece.

Re: Brakes VS Hp

Wow---those wilwoods just barely fit under the rims.


When buying my rims and brakes, I noticed that the wilwoods were pretty bulky, but visually it's just obvious how much they dictate your...

Re: Brakes VS Hp

Bring able to fit a modern tire to the car was the driving choice for me getting larger rims. I went with a custom 3-piece wheel to get the offsets right, and now can fit Michelin PS4S or P-Zeros. ...

Re: Insurance help/strategy needed please.... got tagged

I've dealt with this before (unfortunately, but on a different and much rarer car), so here's my $0.02:

Re: Brake upgrade paths?

+3

Start with good pads, ensure the system is performing at the same level as when it was new, and introduce a high-quality brake fluid with a good flush.

Often, people will find that even on...

Re: 130,000 dollars for a ZR-1..Bid goes on..

+1. Supply is plentiful. For now.

Most Supras were bought, rode hard and put away wet. Finding one in good shape, that hasn't been butchered by the Fast and Furious crowd, is near impossible.

Re: I asked: Track it or sell it, you all said track it! Finally ready to run!

I the 6-piston setup should have a larger pad surface area. Larger surface area=better braking before lockup. Also a little better heat dissipation. I've had my eye on one of those kits.

Re: I asked: Track it or sell it, you all said track it! Finally ready to run!

I'll be curious to find out---Hawk pads didn't last long on my Giulia, and it is comparable in HP and weight. To be fair, it's a brake-by-wire system, so there's little feedback to the driver if...

Re: I asked: Track it or sell it, you all said track it! Finally ready to run!

Just curious---which pads specifically did you go with? I'm a fan of Carbotech, but still waffling between X10 and X12 in front, and X8 or X10 in the rear.

Re: Collector Car update

As someone from the same generation, I agree 100%. The C4 design has aged well.

When I decided to add a Corvette to my collection, I honestly expected to buy a C5 ZO6 or a C3 resto-mod. I only...

Re: Which oil do you use

Given the Euro design roots, I would think that Motul would be a good choice, but I do not see it on here :)

Following, as one of mine has a small crack in it too...and well we just can't have that!
