Very good overview of the whole procedure.

Thought I would share a little trick I found helps with the throttle (and a 90s cruise control cable).

Once I get the cover off the TB cables, I rotate the "half moon" cable spools on the TB to WOT and wedge a small screwdriver handle under them. You'll see what/where I mean, next time you're "in there". I would think a piece of a 3/4" wooden doll would work too. Sure makes that little process a LOT easier - not having to fight the spring tension while trying to faniggle the cables out of their sockets.

I think those of us that have done this a few times have a few tips that make the job a bit easier.Last time I did mine I found what I believe is a provision in the cable linkage that allows it to be fixed in an open position making work with the cables easier.

I don't know of anyone in the hobby that contributes their knowledge of this car for free more than Marc. So when he packages that expertise on a video to help you do a good job, why not let him make a few bucks from it.
Just a thought, not meant to offend anyone.

What Im getting at here is that you need something,somebody's got it and is more than happy to loan it.

What I'm getting at here, is what you're not getting. That an informational video is not a hand tool that might be used once and passed around, but someone's intellectual property. It cost Marc money to write, shoot, edit, dub, package, and sell it to a very small audience. If he wanted to give it away he'd put it up on U-Tube and we'd all have it for free.

Why not just borrow one, dub off 50 of them, and send them out for the price of postage. Then Marc will be sure not to make another one.

Where's the "Dead Horse" icon? This is getting old.

I agree with what you said Bob. The ZR-1 Net Registry does not condone the copying and or free distribution of other people's copyrighted material.

This is the end of the story.
