I am going to buy her a a new banski rear suspension set up.
All new U-joints.
A new rear tranny seal.
Some Del A Lum for the lower control arms
some SPC uppers.
new ball joints.
A new rack.
A nice set of MT Et Street 2s.
Blowerworks 8 rib set up for my procharger and some meth!
After that she will be re tunned and ready for spring!
God I hope I can save enough MOOLA!

(I have details, if anyone needs to replace theirs)
This is actually a 33 spline spindle next to a stock part - gives you an idea what is available (the splined shank was rewelded for the photo).

Might could use some 31 spline axle spindles and hubs to go with that FI / Meth too!!

I'm dropping an LS7 into a '92 ZR1 body...don't want these guys snapping like dry twigs when it hooks up.
Might as well do this while I have my rear apart!

Mark Williams Enterprise
phone 303-665-6901.
Just ask for “custom work – spindles for
the C4 Vette, 31 spline”.
They will broach your hubs, or provide new ones (to eliminate down time)
Tell 'em the ZR-1 boys sent ya!
PS: One of the FBI gang experimented with the 33 spline spindle (bottom picture), but it took a lot of extra fussing to get it all to fit; custom spacers, off-set holes for the wheel studs, etc. He got it to work (taming his 441 cid LT5), but the Mark Williams' unit is an out of the box bolt-on, heat treated beast that is waaay mo bettah than stock. (Bob Gillig is using them on his 10-second AES 427 LT5 ZR-1)

It's pretty much as you delivered it right now. I've been swamped... started building TWO houses on our place in the trees on the other side of the parking lot from the barn in February. It's taking all of my time right now.
The ZR1 got shoved out of this side and into another barn at the other end of the property. As soon as I get furniture out of the way she'll get back to the shop where I can work on it.

Pizz on it, I just got it a new wiper motor and replaced the exhaust pipe that was rusting out.
And it was built in January so I still have to find a birthday present.

My winter project was initiated the 2nd of June, when I tried to see if a ZR-1 really could fly! I got some "air", but the glide ratio is that of a D-9 Caterpillar.
Well, I've got 'er at the frame shop, and so the winter project is going to be putting 'er nose back on and a paint job. I plan on a opening the throttle body "twins" to 63mm and porting the plenum a bit more to accommodate the bigger intakes....AND, a couple other things to see if I can get to 440 rwhp on a stock bottom/stock cam'ed LT5. And, if the motor has to come out in order to tweak the frame horns, Pete (one of the FBI gurus) has a set of cams ready to go that might put me in the 450 wheel range. (All the better to go hunting dem snooty C5/6 drivers
Course, If I were rolling in dough, like BRETT, I might "pass go" and go the 427 stroke/sleeve AES route. Yeeeeeaaah right!

The Vette is for the most part done so this Xmas the 96 Cobra will be getting all the gifts. MT EStreets, front to rear 18" stripe and slotted rotors and ceramic pads but I still love the Vette more maybe because of the 12.6 @ 107MPH

Thinking about adding a pair of these to the list for mine...
Corbeau A4's
My OEM drivers seat has worn through...and pretty much it's just been me getting in/out of this car since it was delivered from the factory.
I've got to replace the belts in it over the winter as well...just going to replace with the same that is in it. I have these...in platinum color.
