First ZR-1
Been a car guy, and a Corvette guy my whole life. Just bought my first ZR-1 a couple of weeks ago.
A 25k mile Red on Red early '91 #141..... And I love it. From the very first time I saw a ZR-1 at Corvettes at Carlisle back in 1990 I knew someday I'd have one. Within days of buying it, I joined the registry, had a great conversation with and got to know Mark Horner. The car is virtually original, even the fuel injectors(were). I knew when I brought it home that the 91's had injector and O ring failures, and that this was a project I had to undertake. The advice on this site, as well as input from Mark has already been extremely helpful. All new injectors, coils, wires, plugs, gaskets, O-rings etc from Jerrys Gaskets. His ZR-1 parts inventory is awesome, very comforting to know for a car with limited production. Marc Haibeck's DVD made pulling the plenum and fuel rails so straightforward it seemed like I had done it before. With Marc Haibeck's chip and a few other parts installed it has woken the car up already. This past weekend I did the plenum pull project, had fun doing it and have really started to love this car. So my sincere thanks to The people of ZR-1 Net Registry ! You have already helped me immensely.

Re: First ZR-1
Welcome to the forum. I lived in the Seacoast area for many years and I still have family there. Lovely area, I miss it a lot. I hope to drive the Z up there one day.

Re: First ZR-1
Beautiful car! I felt the same way when I got my first glimpse in Motor Trend magazine. I just knew I had to have the ultimate C4.

Re: First ZR-1
Welcome and you sure did it the right way on your tune up. Get it from Jerry and you know with confidence the parts are quality and correct. That pesky shipping though. Nothing like two power shifts for permagrin.
