And we wonder why the value of our cars are going down?

This is exactly why the market for our Z's is getting smaller.

This is also why i say yank secondaries.

If you just have to keep the secondaries,you can buy the hard vacuum line and fittings at your local parts store use a hair dryer to bend the hard line into shape.

That is just insane. And you watch. Some fool will buy it.

Before I bought my Z, loads of f-body, C5/6, etc owners were jumping up and down naysaying my efforts to find one. "Good luck finding parts", "Hope you can afford repairs". That's the general consensus out there -- and as long as that holds true, the market for ZR-1s will remain limited. I don't expect that the unwashed masses have any interest in learning otherwise.

Ouch! I thought paying ~$150 or so for plastic lines was steep. I guess I'm glad I got my car when I did. Everything I've replaced has since gone up astronomically in price.

FWIW, that auction includes actuators and solenoids, from what I can see.

I got my actuators for $50. And the secondary vacumm solinoid is only $36. And sombody had a link to somebody selling the secondary spider assemblies's for $98. That still doesn't come to $650. It pays to shop around. I've bought and sold many items on flea bay. But when I see someone trying to sell OEM wheel bearings for almost $300 a piece and I know corvetterecycler sells the same thing for $129 rear a piece and $199 front a piece you know who I'm going with.

Yeah, look who is selling the kit. It is none other than our communities "friend" white racing products.

That is why I told another poster not to sell extra silicone kits to him because he will buy them up then resell them for a 300% markup

It does pay to shop around and wait if you can. I got an NOS OEM Delco vacuum hose/connector/spider assembly (under the plenum) kit for $85, a NOS OEM vacuum secondary for $36 and a NOS OEM actuator for $85...all off of the well know auction web site. I believe it's everything offered in the "Deluxe" kit being referred to, for way less than $650.

Everything...with maybe a few exceptions...you could/would ever want or need for a ZR-1, at one time or another has been or will be available in new or used condition on the popular online auction web site. It's just a waiting and watching game that has to be played. Then of course you have to compete with all the others waiting and watching.
