Fiberglass and vacuum leak
Just took a look at a 90 ZR-1. Car looked great. The only thing that bothered me was there where a few cracks in the fiberglass and the owner said the vacuum pump comes on every 30 or so seconds. When I was looking at the car the pump only came on to prime it and it did not come on any afterwards. The car also had no hesitation from what I could tell.
Would if be possible to have the fiberglass damage redone, and how much of a problem might it be to have the potential leak taken care of? |

Re: Fiberglass and vacuum leak
where is the fiberglass cracked? as for the vacuum system...get Haibeck to burn you a chip to make the car run on all 16 all the time and tie open the actuators.

Re: Fiberglass and vacuum leak
First, we need to determine how the glass was cracked. How hard it was hit and where was it hit. The cracks may be a result of being hit somewhere else on the body. Stress cracks from a hit somewhere else. SMC must be repaired correctly or it WILL bleed back through.
These cars do not crack by themselves. SMC is very strong.
