First Vette and First ZR1 in Alberta, Canada. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Rusty · 06-04-2012

I purchased my first Corvette, a 1994 black/black ZR1, last week. It's far from pristine at ~140,000 km and some non-stock parts here and there, but what I really want from it is to have fun with it (as in going for drives and making the drive to work more entertaining as opposed to racing/showing).

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed now that I'm beginning to figure out what work needs to be done... brakes right away and maybe fuel injectors (still figuring out if those are the cause of a problem). Plus some "should be done soon" projects... mufflers, speedometer correction (reading incorrectly because of changed gear ratio), wheels, suspension. Not to mention I need to adjust the grade of the entrance to my garage before I can get it in/out to drive it! Just hope it's all worth it...

Looking forward to reading here to help figure out the technical ins-and-outs of these cars.
