Re: FINALLY!
Congratz!! Welcome to the "Brotherhood of the Beast!" Some of the best of the best ZR-1 / LT5 gurus hang out on the Registry, to the exclusion of some "other sites", so when you have problems or questions, this is the pinicle site for all things ZR-1, it seems.

Re: FINALLY!
Thanks for the warm welcome guys! The fact I have one of these monsters is still hard to let sink in. I was diving late last night and got on her pretty good and the sound that LT5 makes is nothing you can imagine. You have to experience it. I now understand what ZR-1 owners are always saying. The engine does lazily and smooth accelerate, there is no boring chug. The only thing I can describe what it fells like and sounds like is an explosion. And the fact my little ole c4 can eat alive any car where I live makes me grin just knowing that fact.
My next question is spare tires. The previous owner said his old man has it, but lived two hours away in Chicago. Should I go ahead and try to find a replacement, or do I get a spare tire delete and some fix-a-flat? Thanks again guys. |

Re: FINALLY!
The spare tire is the same for any of the later C4's. Use AAA and a good set of tires.
More important....You gotta get together with the Chicago FBI guy's. |

Re: FINALLY!
Congratulations. I just got my white/red with more than double your miles, but I am looking forward to making her look as good as yours!
This is definitely the place to be too Enjoy the warm welcome.. I guess it's just part of the ZR-1 experience that makes it so special.

Re: FINALLY!
Welcome!! Very nice photos too, like the background & the lighting conditions.
Regarding your slight miss. A simple driving test that will typically expose a slight miss. Drive 45~50mph in 6th gear and simply accelerate moderately. If acceleration is not smooth, it is likely to be weak spark and associated with a coil. I concur that your injectors are not likely to be associated with the problem. Replacement of injectors in 1990~92 models is very common, due primarily to ethanol blended fuels. Right behind injectors, is coils & wires, that isn't necessarily related to mileage.

Re: FINALLY!
When you push the hatch button do you hear the solenoid click,if so the struts are shot.The solenoid will release the window but if the struts are shot they wont lift the window,the window weights ALOT.
