John,

List the things you need for the ZR-1 as many of us have stocked up some parts to use on our own ZR-1.

Paul give me a call to discuss the bladders. I rebuilt the driver side pump yesterday and it still isn't working.

Re: 1991 Zr1

Thanks Joe! I've been working on a few electrical gremlins in the car this past weekend. INFL REST warning light triggered so I took the sensors off and checked for corrosion cleaned and re installed. Hopefully I can reset the computer this morning and know if I wasted a few hours or not. When I reconnected the battery I got a service ride control code too.

On a side note thanks for the 65 clock rebuild last year. Worked great hopefully still will when I put it back in. I disassembled the car for repaint after flight judging last August. I hope to be out of paint this week and be able to start reassembly for Denver. That will be the big push over the next few months.

John. Seems to me we always had issues with the DERM module with those old ZR1's. The ride control lights would sometimes pop on in cars we had in the showroom that had several start cycles with no miles driven. A short drive usually cured them. Of course, I'm old and this was back when they were quite new. I realize new issues come up as they age, but I sold many, many of these cars back in the day.

My last job was working as service manager for DICK GULDSTRAND IN 1998-2001. We serviced all the items Tom you have talked about. And yes, replaced many differentials with 4.09 gears. We had at least 4 customers with very high mileage cars. I mean over 300,000. The cars were better than the Energizer *****. They just kept going and going. Many owners would salmon / autocross race every weekend, then drive the car to work. They were one of the best Corvettes ever made.

All true !! Was always one of my favorites. Drove one all the time as a demo back in the day ! They were cars that had a unique personality for every one. Very interesting cars.
