Re: First Drive in My ZR-1 - With my Impressions
6'6" here!
Good to see more tall C4 owners around here Newer generations are a bit more comfortable for me but for the price, it was hard to beat the C4Z

I too did not like the light grey buttons but wanted to keep the metallic grey. Then more recently I decided I wanted all black and white.. I will get some new pictures if the current interior, but here are a couple from when I first swapped. You need 92-93 controls to use the buttons, you can do the same with the radio, however I chose a touchscreen and ultimately one for Android Auto / Carplay

C5 Hatchback - head banging against roof arch C6 - Legs pressed against underside of dash C7 - Just small all around C8 is bigger, but no manual, so it?s off my list.

Looks like you did the other mod I?ve been kicking around. Black 94+ seats with a red interior. Yes, I?d love to see more pics!

Re: First Drive in My ZR-1 - With my Impressions
Noticed today that the 1990 Ferrari 348 gauge faces are red lettering over a graphite background. Guess GM wanted a familiar look for prospective supercar buyers, but the later white over black is much easier to read.

Re: First Drive in My ZR-1 - With my Impressions
Ah yes. Forgot about that. There was a lot of that silliness going on then, wasn't there?

Re: First Drive in My ZR-1 - With my Impressions
More time behind the wheel today, and things really started to gel. First, my apologies to the tire pressure warning light. Yup, all the tires were low. Nice and consistent at around 22 lbs. Took a look at my tire dates while I was down there. Rears are 08. Fronts are 10. Oh well.
As posted elsewhere, the drive today really started to open her up. Seems like the sticking calliper freed up, as no weird smells anymore. Steering got a lot better with the tire pressure up. I think that she will get even better with new tires on her. But that will have to wait until the spring. I was wondering if the dash lights would need replacing, but from what I can tell, everything seems good. Is this about how everyone else's looks?

You have done a LOT of work. How bad was the stereo installation?
