WTB advice please!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Ok I pulled the trigger today and bought a ZR1!

It is a 1990 bright red metallic on beige with 29,000 km/ 18,000 miles.

Car is in very good condition, original Canadian car with clean carfax and two owners.

Drivers seat does not recline, radio works but very low to no noise coming out of the speakers and all the buttons on the climate control work except auto.

I did not get a chance to drive it as there was a blizzard here today but will drive before I take it home.

Car started right up, idled nicely and clutch felt good.

A few things of concern, I never drove a ZR1 before, how do I know if the secondary open? When I turn the key forward should I not hear a vacuum noise for about 5 seconds and then it shuts off? I did not hear it on this car. There is an aftermarket switch on the dash by your knee that turns on a fan in the engine compartment, the guy said he was told it was for hot days it cools something but was not exactly sure what. (he is going to try and look into it for me). One last thing when you turn the key forward all the warning lights should come on and then go out, anyone have a pick of all the lights that come on.

Thanks for any advice.
