Hello from New York - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hi All,

I used to have a 1991 ZR1 when living in the UK, but sold it - and I moved to the US a few years ago. I've just bought a 1992 red/red ZR1, so pleased to be back! Will get some pictures out soon. 59,700 miles on her.

I live in Fishkill, Dutchess County in NY, but got the ZR1 from Baltimore. Drives well, could do with an internal clean and a few scruffy bits, but bodywork and engine is all good - I do miss the sound of the LT5!

OK - first question, and I kind of anticipated it: the clutch needs replacing, beginning to slip under heavy load, but not far gone... I'd be happy to try this at home, but it's a bigger job, and while I'm fine to pull the plenum (done it a few times, some years ago!), the clutch seems like more of a pain.

So, does anyone know of any good, reputable mechanics or any more local contacts (should I ping the NE forum??), who can do the clutch for me?

Great to be back in the fold!

Steve
