Default New (to me) ZR1

Brought this beauty home last week. Right at 50k miles. Have the supercharger off to replace the isolator, as it was making noise. I'll change the oil while its off. 2011 #72

Beautiful car - color looks incredible in the sun.

No easier time to swap the at least the hub or even the snout if you see yourself moving in that direction any time down the road.

I sure love the color! I have one just like it with a cashmere interior. Welcome and let us know if you need any help or advice!

Make sure the clutch reservoir has been updated. I had to do that to all of my ZR1s. Two of them failed on me on the very first trip out (I think I just might be an aggressive shifter!)

P.S. If it still has the clear reservoir without the DOT 4 cap then it needs changing or you will end up with your clutch pedal stuck to the floor at some point.

Believe it not I managed to have all three of mine done for free and the dealership even though two of them were just past the 10 year date. (It's good to be friends with the local GM dealer.) So I'm afraid I don't have any firsthand experience to share but there are others here who've done it themselves so hopefully one of them will chime in.

I don't think it's that big of a deal if you know what you're doing and have access to a lift.
