Just talked with Dave and he is so appreciative of your help...and so am I. He is getting a taste of the "Brotherhood" and hasn't even owned the car a week yet. Thanks Buddy John

Re: Traveling ZR-1 New Owner could use some help
John,
That's one very well kept ZR-1! Very, very nice! Dave had a huge smile - probably going to leave permanent marks on his face! It was great to talk ZR-1 for a few hours - I've been deployed for the last year to the Middle East, so I had some catching up to do on ZR-1 talk! We even dusted off my Z and went for a spin - first time I've had it out since I've been home. Happy to help - that's what makes us the tight-knit group that we are; it goes deeper than the Z. I was fortunate enough to be around the San Antonio crowd when I bought my Z - lots of help from Corey H, Bob H, Ken R, Dewey S, Mike S, Arnold S, and all the folks on the Registry.... I'm sure Dave will pay it forward. Best Regards, Mark |

Re: Traveling ZR-1 New Owner could use some help
Things are going good thanks to a few friends I’ve made on the trip. The transmission is still going to get a full investigation when I get home. I probably shouldn’t worry about it Boyd gave his word it was okay it’s more than likely okay. I found a amazing corvette shop in Bedford pa and a great vette parts yard with some really rare (C1, C2, C3 and C4) parts no Zr1 though I checked. One thing my milage has droped from 27mpg to 20mpg I am wondering if the injectors may be damaged due to ethanol. I have also been using redline fuel treatment.
Dave P.S thanks for the help gentlemen Last edited by mgbrv8; 07-24-2009 at 08:07 AM. |

Re: Traveling ZR-1 New Owner could use some help
Mark,
Not surprising what you did for Dave there.... You tried to help me out years ago with my HIGH idle problem. Speaks volumes on how we do have a brotherhood! Look forward to seeing you again @ Carlisle my friend. Cheers David Quote:

Re: Traveling ZR-1 New Owner could use some help
Does it have 4.10's and not have the speedo gears adjusted? 5000 miles you could almost drive across the country twice!

Re: Traveling ZR-1 New Owner could use some help
Curious if Mark might still be available to help check the injectors if you are in that area. It's easy and would give you an immediate indication of a problem. What a trip, just finished looking at the pics you sent. Where were all the Vettes at?
