Sure, but you have to bring it to me... With both Keys! Every wheel well detail requires a 500 mile test, leak evaluation drive. In order to determine what type of cleaning solutions need for the rear half shafts both sets of injectors must be engaged.

Sure I will bring you the door key and ignition key

Wow.. 500 miles for each wheel well, that (unfortunately) is more mile then I put on it last year

Update: pulled the passenger wheel tub/liner. Finished cleaning the sway bar. cleaned the brake lines. and other areas. Should have the wheels back on and on the ground by Tuesday. I had to replace both front Gatorbacks. They just couldnt hold air. Sourced them frm ebay. a 1991 datecode and a 1997 date code. Kept the leaky 88 date code tires. Then the fun begins.

Major to do list items.

1. Drain fuel tank
2. remove rust from fuel filler neck.
3. fix the radio so all 4 speakers work
4. Blinker indicators don't work
5. High Beam indicator doesn't work.

Oh yeah.. Get it to run. The Zr-1 has an 1988 style PASS/VATS Module. I have sourced a correct code 4 replacement. Hopefully that will take car of the starting issue.

OK call this guy:
http://www.tabercorvetteparts.com/
He (or his son) repaired my dash cluster and was going to make copies of the 8k tach face so he could do them for anyone. The only difference between the 2 dashes is the face plate for the tach. He can alos help you on the VATS module.

Please forgive me chiming in. I have a 90, may 90 build. I still have the original tires that came with the car from BG. I would donate them to your project if you think that they would be of some use to the project. The tires have 7400 miles on them, no cracks on the tread or sidewall and they hold air. I can go look at the date codes if you like? They are still mounted on the OE 90 wheels so I do not know what the inside of the tire looks like. My car spent the first 14.5 yrs of it's life in a heated garage....the original owner was a custom home builder so his garage had all the extras.

I'm not trying to sell you the tires. I don't need them. My car will never see NCRS and they are free to you if they will help you out. We can settle the UPS bill at your leisure.

I forgot, these tires have not been used much by me as I ordered new tires for the car before I took delivery of the car. I went from 7400 miles to 8200 miles and then got new wheels for the new tires that I ordered. Sorry about my forgetfulness. They have been stored inside since 5/05.

Good stuff, Tyler. I have a feeling I'm going to need this someday. I may have to pay your way to my place to help start a ZR1 at some point.
