I just bought a $100,000 Corvette ZR1 for 85% off.. What could go wrong?
Easily one of the worst C6 ZR1 I've ever purchased, while it turn out to be a complete waste of money or are we going to make a few bucks!?

Pro tip soak the heat wrap before removing, also helps when installing water doesnt let the fibers turn to dust reeking havoc on skin on top of breathing it in

@JasonMcCord-qk3yb 11 месяцев назад

Yep. I’ve found working with the really brittle wrap, mix in a bunch of “ baby magic baby bath” keeps it wet longer and makes it easier on the skin, as well as keeping it from going airborne for much longer.

Most of the newer HX Pumps need to have fluid head pressure before they'll turn on. You need to connect it to a garden hose and get water flowing through it then turn on the power and see if it starts up.

I installed a Katech remote bleeder on my ZR1 without removing anything. My hand and forearm were small enough but it wasn't pleasant. I sleeved the line beginning to end with a DEI heat sleeve, 500 degrees direct touch protection, 2000 degrees radiant! Kept it as far away from heat sources as possible.

@r.s.5431 10 месяцев назад

I understand ranking each of the salvage jobs by profit dollars, but for me, I would rank the salvage jobs by percent return on invested capital. For example, the mustang returned $13.3k on a $8.4K investment. That's approximately 157% return on the $8.4k investment. Whereas, the corvette salvage only yielded an 88.5% return on the investment. Different ways of looking at it. Not saying one way is better than another, just different. I'm sure there are other things to consider, as well. For instance, the difficulty in salvaging the parts and how long it took to sell the salvaged parts. I'm sure there are other things involved that you may want to share. Btw, thanks for the content. It's informative and entertaining.

@m4rvinmartian 10 месяцев назад
