Frankly, doing the wrenching on a ZR-1 is part of the appeal for me. I had to do that w my 84 Xfire. The LT-5 is DIY even more so. Tinkering and tweaking it to make it run better and get more performance is a plus. Keeps me from going bat-sh*t crazy! especially in the winter. And the ZR-1/LT-5 platform is perfect because it responds so well to those tweaks. The motor is so underutilized in stock form. Once you've massaged it to 400+ rwhp! you really start to appreciate what a great car this is.

I bought my car as a project car. I have average mechanical abilities and I have had a great time working on it. I have overcome many of the items that are listed in previous postings. This car is a thrill to drive, and kind of fun to work on. I would be in REAL trouble if it where not for the brothers in the registry! They give you confidence and are always willing to help you get out of a jam. I don't post much, but I read EVERYTHING! Thanks for all you guys have done for me, and others.

If it runs and drives, your past most of the battle.
My first ZR-1 was squished from front to rear by a front end loader. ![]()
