Re: Changing Early ZR-1 Instrument Panel to Late One
Just to add my little bit, I found one of the best modifications to both my '93 and '95 was the addition of a short throw shifter. Vastly improved the feel of the car. And in the old days of using CDs a lot, I found that with the stock shifter, if I had a CD sticking out of the unit, I would hit it when shifting into third. Short throw solved that. But by far the most important improvement was that of shifter feel and quickness. I used a Hurst shifter for both cars but Bill Boudreau's short shifter is as good or better. I had Marc use the stock shift knob so unless you shifted it, it was hard to tell it wasn't stock (first picture), although the stock shifter is a bit taller (second picture). Next most important mods were the 4.10 gears and a Corsa exhaust, although as many know I eventually returned to stock exhaust with electric cutouts on the '95.--Bob
