Weekend project video. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

rhipsher · 02-15-2009

I figure that a video is much better than pictures. Sorry it's not really an instructional video or anything. But I just went ahead and made it more for my own records. And figured you might enjoy watching. And no! I do not want to become a mechanic. I'm perfectly happy as a machinist.
Enjoy. http://s301.photobucket.com/albums/n...t=MOV01848.flv

The 3-5 hour job comment you make is hilarious..........

It's Keeno Vison.... What Jeffvette meant to say is your a girlyman if you cant get it done in 3-5 hours

Good video, Looks like a PITA hopefully with good parts it should hold together better. Those Jacks make it a hell of a lot easier.

Then I need to start shopping at Victoria's Secret and change my name from Ricky to Riki Because if you can get that job done all by yourself in 3-5 hours then you is one bad mofo. Lee brought over the trans jack but his knees were bad so I just told him to whip out a lawn chair and just keep me company while I wrenched on it. And just like classic Texas weather thunder and lightening just came out of nowhere. And you know its real close when it sounds like sticks of dynomite are going off over your head. I let Lee barrow all of my King of the hill magazines someone gave me. This car was so unique it had it's own magazine for a while.

yeah I have seen a clutch R&R'ed on a ZR-1 from start to finish in 1-1/2 hours.. with 2 people working together on it..

I swear it looked like Synchronized Auto repair

I guess I'm speaking from a shade tree mechanic point of view. If I had the money I'd pay somebody to do it for me. But the benefit of doing it yourself is it won't cost you a dime in labor and you will get it done faster than having to wait two weeks at a shop. But it did stress me out having to do this again so soon. My clutch isn't even fully broke in yet.

Holy sh

t batman! Very nice job.

I wish I could change the clutch when the time comes. But right now I do not have the right tools or equipment to make it happen. Not to mention my age might get in the way. Anyway keep up the good work and best of luck to you. =D>
