Default Hello!

I just traded my 71 Nova SS BBC for a 90 ZR-1. Never had a Vette before - so I'm sure I will be asking plenty of questions. I've noticed a few issues with it so far - so I know there will be projects...

Car has 17k miles on it - and is all original except for the wheels. I got a full set of original wheels with it - so I do have the "correct" wheels if I ever want to change back.

#1 - where can I find a owners manual for this car? I have window sticker, build sheet, and some brochure - but no manual and none of the fancy "book" stuff that originally came with?

Welcome to the group. You will find this to be one of the tightest and finest groups of car fanatics there is anywhere. And whatever you need, can be taken care of in one way or another. George

Welcome. I've got a '90' black on black, #1786. My first 'vette. Haven't gotten into any major trouble with it yet, but I'm sure I will. -Steve

Welcome onto the boards there.

FSM is THE most important tool. Maybe keep it in the 'library', where the seat has a hole in the middle . Hang Chilton's / Haynes / Clymer's to the right. Tear a page, wipe, flush, repeat if necessary (krinkle if you're tender in the hindquarters ).

#2 most important tool is a multimeter (preferably not the Mickey Mouse econo-model).

This forum boards' members are far above others on the web. Even the wiseguy(s) know their stuff here...

I'm getting my snappics / threads removed blindly as fast as I can, to get in compliance with copyright / license TOS on the boards here (lots of FSM pages and other copyright / license violations on my part; sorry guys). And thanks to all the guys who didn't whine when I posted those FSM copyrighted / licensed stuff in my threads...

( :thumbsup: [b]and to think I complied with a mod's request to delete a pic of him in a Challenge Car in NCM Museum, so he wouldn't get in hot water)[/b]

Thanks to several guys here for sending parts FREE; BearlyFlying, WeGone, Geezer, GoldCylon, and more there, TonyD, mike100, fletchusmc...

I see you made it! Welcome to the "Brotherhood of the Beast"!!

First off, it may be short notice, but Sunday there is the annual FBI (aka Fast Boyz of Illinoiz) BBQ at Marc Haibeck's shop. Now, if you haven't already learned, Marc is one of the gurus of our cars and is a ZR-1 Specialist - makes his living maintaining and modifying these iconic cars. If you could make it, you'd meet Marc and several others like Pete, Bob G, Dominic, =Jeff=, among others that contribute much to the ZR-1 hobby as well. So, hope you can make it.one of the most active and inovative ZR-1 groups anywhere.

I can't make it on that short notice - but thanks for the offer! I work weekends - so I'm not on a good schedule for normal weekend activities. I do, however, have flight benefits - and I flew out to Ontario Ca a couple times to attend the SoCal Novas BBQ. So there is a possibility I might show up to something in the future!
