My mistake
Sorry guys, Bob & DC, et al, I did mean to say the supercar G/Y's instead of just F1's. Yes I would get the supercar's if rain wasn't so much of an issue to me. I live in an area where a good deal of roads have drainage problems. Some just flood but most are old enough to have...
Hey DC :upthumbs I would get the F1's if rain isn't the issue. I still have my OEM tires on the salad shooters & I may put a set of F1's on there when the D3's get close to being toast. The one thing that occured to me is that the D3's may get very scary if the tread depth gets to less than...
Just two cents more...
...on the D3's. I have them & they are great in the rain...if that's important for you. It was for me & I'm not sorry at all that I bought them. The wet grip & directional control and the resistance to hydroplainning is very satisfying.
If you don't plan on rain use...
Hi Glen, The reading is in volts, on a 90 LT5 the reading at the factory idle speed is .46 volt to .62 volts up to about 5 volts @ WOT. On mine there three leads, but I have an LT5 so I'm not sure if the L98 is the same.
452 black = sensor ground one VOM lead here?
417 dark blue = TPS signal...
Thanks for sharing, Lance!
Great thought & great memory! Thank you for sharing that with us. I have to agree if I were the cat I'd take up nesting in that car also.
My black cat likes my black ZR-1 also, maybe cats are smart?!
:beer Lance!
Hi everyone, I can honestly say that my Z does get better overall milage than my DD...provided I stay off the secondaries. The price is the price & if it means I have to pick my spots to use my Z then that's the way it has to be. It didn't stop me from crusing with other vette owners on runs. I...
Hi John, I just saw this and you have a ZF6 in your vette, right? Well there is a site that may throw some light on your situation. zfdoc.com, it's Bill Boudreau's site and he is just about the last word in zf6's if you include zf themselves.
Just a suggestion as I'm not a mechanic and have...
Hi Aurora40,
Yes & no. I was there and no we didn't do the secondaries. The reason was that if it was his opinion that it was the injectors I already had the full set of RC's & they were going in anyway. It was his opinion that the coils were shorting as the condition got worse as the car...
Hi Aurora40,
I used a couple bottles of techron & no soap. The shop I brought it to checked the ohms after the motor was hot, thru the ECM harness and the results were not good. The readings were 12 ohms but the tech said it should have been higher since the test was done thru the ECM harness...
Hi Junk, Thank you for your thought! I thought about the converters but on a ZR-1 they are part of exhaust manifold...welded to it. I don't know how I could check them without cutting them off of the exhaust manifolds. The fac made them that way, that isn't some mod that was done later. Kinda...
Just a conclusion for this
Hi all, As I'm a rookie Z owner and a rookie to electronic FI I thought it would be good to put a period on this tale. Just in case there are others that might run into this with their cars. If I knew more I would have figured this out but I'm learning. If I had a...
The interval on changing is in the book but I went to zfdoc.com and did some reading. They tested a ZF6 using different fluids and they give the resultant loss in viscossity over milage. I came to my own conclusion about what interval I'm going to use based on their results. Every year for me...
Yea I don't get that part about not changing the trans & rear fluids either. To me it maybe a slight waste of money but I do both as part of get ready for each summer. Okay, as I just got my Z in Dec 04 let me say I will do both each year. It's just about $50 worth of fluids and if you do the...
:upthumbs Bob, you will not regret taking care of the items you had done. That will make for a happier motor & tranny. Yea the TWS is expensive but it's cheap insurance comparred to the price of a new & or rebuilt ZF6!
I think it's nice when you find a shop that does good quality work. You get...
Hi Jeff! I will do the e-mail as soon as I get a new budget for my car.
Thanks for the explaination about the motor coating! I knew I was pointing Kaijumax in the right direction because I've seen your work. Sweet stuff!
Tom
I've seen some nice powder coating done on American Chopper. I'd like to know who does their work, even their chromer's work looks great on TV!
I think Jeffvette does or has a place to do powder coating. I've seen some of that work & it looks real sweet. I wonder if a two stage, base coat/...
I haven't had many corvettes. Just two, a 72 and my 90 Z. The seats in my 90 a sooo much better than the 72's seats. The best bucket seat I ever sat in for comfort first and holding power second were the Racarro's that came in my 88 T-bird sport. The one thing I liked about the seats in my C3...
I forgot about that statement! Yes it is powder coated. I'll say it's the weakest powder coating I've ever seen! If you look at it wrong it may stain.
