Well..my butt just got better lookin'>>> - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Nice plate Michael. I'm afraid my bladders would look about the same. Yikes. I had a nice drive in the car this morning. Even with a few raindrops. And yes...nothing like a big dose of that red on red!

I thought this was the ZR1 Net forum, I'm seeing "bladder" issues, "better lookin butts", what's next, sagging rear ends, drooping headlights, backfires, receding headlines, leaking waterpumps, low fuel pressures, rusty injectors, turkey basters and breast pumps?

And your point would be? Wait, I'm off to do the dishes....

some of the references were to some old timers using creative ways to repair our beloved cars: turkey baster to suck old clutch fluids out, breast pumps to bleed brakes, rubber gloves to repair seat bladder pumps, etc.

As to what is next... the exhaust... I want to keep the OEM rear mufflers and tips (l like the look of the OEM set up and want to keep car pretty stock in appearance) but know about the restrictive mid resonator so I going to do a custom mid pipe and retain the OEM mufflers etc.

The original solid roof has a scratch and lining is loose so it goes off for restoration.

And I am not rushing this one but know the injectors will tank at some point due to the 10% ethanol in the gasoline.

So far I have upgraded the brakes, Haibek chip, parts here and there, of course all fluids, Bose speaker repair (thanks to Doc Don), detailing etc. You will love this picture... I call it my 'hmmm... lumbar does NOT seem to be pumping up' (I replaced both seat pumps) picture...as they say a picture bespeak a 1000 words>>>>

In went a new lumbar bladder and all is well now!
Michael

Interesting...I have that to look forward to as well, I recon!
