Hello! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hello. I'm new here and new to ZR-1 ownership. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

I have a red/red 1990 ZR-1. It was my father's and, unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year and he left it to me. It had 6909 miles on it when I got it transported from Arizona to Wisconsin. It had not been started in 11 years. As fate and luck would have it, the new neighbor that just moved in across the street from me owns an auto shop.

Cleaned injectors, a nice new set of Eagle F1s, and fluid flushes and changes, she is purring like a kitten. I love this car, everything about it, and the memories it holds for me. I've got a couple of little things that need to be worked out, but nothing major. One of the airbag sensors is either dirty or bad, the passenger headlight won't lock open, it slowly falls back closed when you have the headlights on and it seems there is a limit switch that isn't getting tripped because it runs longer when opening/closing than the driver side light. The coolant temps get hot when sitting still. I have a Ron Davis radiator and a 165 degree thermostat already ordered to go in to remedy that. Other than that the car is in wonderful shape.

She's been begging me for a Corsa exhaust once all the little bugs are worked out.
