Default Calling all houston ZR-1's

Calling all houston ZR-1's to caravan down to new braunfels for the get together. So far there are three of us meeting for the cruze down there friday evening. Two LPE 415 Z's and my stock 90 Z. So I'm sure I'll get my azz kicked the whole way down there. If there is anybody else that would like to join us PM me.

Well seeing that it might not happen for another 4 years calling in sick may not be a bad idea.
C'mon Ryan as Rob Schneider would say "YOU CAN DO IT"!

I just called Corey Henderson. He said he is going to post it on the zr1netregistry today. He said its a motel 6 and he thinks he will offer a group rate. So keep a lookout.

Well I know how to fix and replace broken parts on it but I don't know a damn thing about how to tune it up. But I'm sure it has something to do with hooking a computer up to the ECM.

Last time I was in his shop my 7 and 9 year old daughters were acting up really bad. They were wrestling around on the shop floor and bumping into some of the cars until I made them go sit out side. I was kinda embarrassed. But Corey just thought it was funny.

Tyler T. and I will leave Houston on Friday morning for New Braunfels, check into the hotel, do some car prep, then off to the race track Friday afternoon.

The LPE 385 twin turbo (wow!) is still being tuned so I will bring another ZR-1.

Will

well sometimes things just dont work out . while changing 1/2 shaft u joints i found that the yoke on the passenger side of the diff is wobbling . i thought maybe i could change it but in reading the fsm i found that one needs a case spreader to remove the guts so guys , as much as i wanted to come i guess i am dead in the water unless someone know how to replace the bearing on the passenger side of the case . have fun, tell corey i said hi :o
