    Fuel Trims at Idle (Diagram)

    I was playing around the other day with my ODBII reader (Autel MS509) just out of curiosity. Car runs fine, no issues ('98 RT/10 stock except for Corsa catback, hiflow cats & smooth tubes). I sampled the Idle mode after driving around for a few miles and then spent some time to create a diagram...

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    I am approaching my next project, I guess... After I have completed improving my core sound system (installed Corsa catback) I am now looking at my backup system, the stereo ;) I will start with just replacing the front/door speakers of my '98 RT/10. I was searching quite some time for a...

    I have a killer car!!

    Literally! Last weekend I was cruising around with my RT/10 when on the road in front of me a dove made itself/himself/herself (???) comfortable. I was going approx. 70 km/h, took the foot off the gas and was thinking: "Gee, dove, move your ass and get out of the way!!" However, the dove did...

    Would you install a NOS serpentine belt??

    I recently purchased an OEM serpentine belt for my '98 RT/10 on Ebay (NOS) for 1,50 € (not a typo! ... quite a good deal I'd say :) ). The belt seems to have sat on the shelf for many years. Although never used I am not sure, if it is a good idea to install it as the material might have aged a...

    Decided to fix my sagging Headliner (Pics)

    Couldn't stand the embarrassing look of my sagging headliner anymore (RT/10) so I decided to fix it by myself. Got some headliner fabric online plus the OEM push in fasteners (got those from VPA) since I was sure to break some if not all of them (12 in total) when removing the headliner from the...

    Finally: Back from Hibernation!

    Just wanted to share that today I took my snake out for the first ride after 4 months of hibernation ('98 RT/10). I bought the car last year so this was a new to me experience. I was very excited before I turned the key, wondering if something went bad over the 4 months resulting into whatever...

    Question regarding Viper Production, MY changes

    Does anybody know, when the production lines at CAAP were changed to new MY specs? I know, that it is not unusual to start building let's say MY 2000 in late calender year 1999. But how was it with the Viper? In my case, I own a '98 RT/10 which was built in November '98, so obviously...

    Show me your rear end !

    Well, I mean your tips....your exhaust tips, to be precise :smirk: Some background: The only thing I am not so pleased with is the stock exhaust of my stock '98 RT/10. While wanting to keep the car stock for the most part I do plan to upgrade the exhaust as the biggest mod. Now, I already...

    Vipers@Mecum

    Thought I would share recent Viper sales at Mecum auction in Kansas City. I was surprised to see a 2002 RT/10 being sold for 31k and a 1996 RT/10 (white w/ blue stripes) for 34,5k. Ok, the latter one has very few miles... Holger

    Question regarding 98 MY RT/10

    Hi, I think it's time for a question from my side again :omg: I have a '98 RT/10 built in November of that year. Thus it comes with the Gen 2 hood. Now I have noticed that in the `98 Dodge Viper sales brochure the roadsters shown all still have the Gen 1 hood. In real life (including...

    Question regarding stock exhaust v-band clamp

    Hi, I am planning to install a Corsa cat back system together with hiflow cats on my '98 RT/10. In order to weld in the hiflow cats, I need to disconnet the exhaust from my (stock) headers. If I am not mistaken, this part connects via a v-band clamp to the headers and this v-band clamp can...

    Found the frame VIN

    For those of you who were looking for the frame VIN without success (like myself until today ;-)): You can see the VIN stamped in the upper right frame rail if you look between the radiator and the right head light (passenger side). There you can see the upper frame rail and if it's not too...

    New floor mats for my 98 RT/10 (pics)

    I just received my new floor mats that I ordered at autoanything.com. I went for Lloyd's Ultimats with the logos in silver. I think that will match perfectly my silver '98 RT/10 ;) I have not yet installed them but I am sure they will look awesome in the car :cool: As for the quality, these...

    Well, most likely this question has been raised already but I couldn't find an answer to it just by using the search function...:rolleyes: I also have to apologize for not having a picture at hand showing EXACTLY what I mean, so I'll try to describe it using the one below. In the picture...

    Hood Heat Shield Missing?

    I noticed recently, that there is no heat shield on the passenger side of the hood installed in my car (98 RT/10). As there is one on the driver's side (and in the middle), I am wondering, whether it got lost or there just isn't any?? Thanks for your advise :2tu: Holger

    My 98 RT/10 (Pics)

    Thought I would share some fresh pics of my 98 RT/10, which I own now for almost 2 months. I have looked at so many pics here at the VCA forum over the past 12 months so I felt it's time to give something back (now that I own one) :smirk: Holger

    Interior trunk release RT/10?

    Hi, I know, that the GTS was equipped with an interior hatch release as of MY99 (I believe). Is there any MY of the roadster which also came with a (stock) interior release handle? Also, has anyone successfully installed a stock interior release handle into an RT/10 of an earlier MY RT/10...
