That was the Extreme exhaust system. Ear bleeding expected. Spousal support unit #1 liked it when I went to Corsas. A conversation in a ZR-1 what a concept.

if I had a group of local guys who knew what they were doing to help me I'd probably be fine with tacking some stuff myself. But knowing me I'm going to end up with a pile of parts and my hands glued together like when I tried to build model cars as a kid.

If you have the TIME you can do it for a LOT less. Keep in mind Kevin these cars a becoming a little long in the tooth. Most of the issue(s) is/are standard C4 crap

I hear you however, How do you think I felt after pulling the motor 3 times. I thought it would NEVER end. i did not know you were having ECM issues as well......

time I got, skills and tools I dont. i'd pass on the porting and painting even, just want to drive it a year without having to replace something zr-1 related. 90% of my issues have been firewall forward

My wife was a Corvette Girl before I met her. She just has no clue on how to take care of them.

My wife hands me the tools....she knows the difference between a socket wrench and a flex head open end wrench....she also knows it is ALL Metrics

She never never grabs and hands me a crescent wrench to work on the LT5

Mine refuses to drive it because she knows that if she messes it up she'll never hear the end of it. She has a point.

When we were dating my wife helped me change the clutch in a 928, and I knew I had a keeper. You should have heard her in the Advance parking lot the other day. Some guy was complaining about his car overheating and she said "sounds like you have a bad thermostat."

His response?

"Uh, no. I changed the fuse."

And she rolled her eyes and we drove off.

btw she can't believe I bought a Chevy of any flavor, but she thinks the ZR-1 is very cool, and yes she knows exactly what it is.
