    Short throw question.

    +1 for me. I have the same knob as them, plus I installed a B&M shifter and I LOVE IT!!! I also have a brand new transmission so the NEW shifter and the NEW transmission are both still kinda tight so don't try to drag race anybody by quick shifting. You have to almost wait for the synchros to...

    Oil pressure - is 70-80psi normal?

    Okay, I'm back home from Saudi now and had a chance to investigate this a little further. The psi does go down after it gets hot and the engine is at idle. Usually in the 40-50 psi range. But any throttle advance and it pegs out. So its apparently working properly now. I guess the real...

    Oil pressure - is 70-80psi normal?

    I just had a sizzle going on between my ears!;) Would me changing the exhaust to high flows have anything to do with an increase in my psi? I can't say for sure if it ran lower before, but now I'm wondering. A back pressure issue maybe? Hell, that sizzle is starting to hurt now and I think I...

    Oil pressure - is 70-80psi normal?

    Sooo....other than maybe a sensor going out I shouldn't be worried about anything? Is that what I'm hearing? My gauge runs constantly in the 70-80 range. I see very little deviation when hot or when at speed vs idle. I know there could be many reasons, but if you are seeing a drop to as low...

    Oil pressure - is 70-80psi normal?

    I have been noticing lately that my oil pressure is staying almost maxed out on the gauge. It fluctuates a little between whoa and go, but even after it warms up it still hangs in the high range. Is this normal? I never paid enough attention to it before to know if it has changed. It is...

    Exended work from home...what to do with the Viper?

    I may be leaving soon to go overseas on a 3 year work assignment in Abu Dhabi and wondering what I need to do with my car while I'm gone. I don't want to leave it in my garage for that long without it being ran periodically. Plus I live in the country and have to say there would be a rat...

    Headlight buckets

    Thanks Tom. I just replied. It has nothing to do with being able to afford them. Its the principle that it is ridiculous to charge that much for a piece of plastic. Exclusivity is for people who have too much money to give to people that take them for granted. Caviar, Monet's, and memberships...

    Headlight buckets

    Anybody know of a current good source for Gen 3 replacement headlight lenses/assemblies that aren't trying to **** you? Mine are heat cracked pretty bad and I tried one of those repair kits with the polish but it didn't help. New ones are like $600 and up each. Heck, I even saw some on a...

    Sideways through a ditch now car pulls hard right

    Finally a stroke of good luck!! It turned out all of you were right to an extent. It was only an alignment issue with no major damage, including no cracks in the a-arms. The tech said it was bad out though. He even had to start it in on an angle to get it on the alignment rack because the...

    Sideways through a ditch now car pulls hard right

    Now THAT is the comment I was waiting for!!! I knew it was coming! Always appreciate your humor Free...lol Thanks guys. Looks like it may be Saturday before I can get it to the shop, but I will reply as soon as I find out the damage. Like Broom said, expect the damage to be double what you...

    Sideways through a ditch now car pulls hard right

    Dodged a deer last Saturday night, slid sideways through a ditch and back up onto the road without hitting anything, and now I'm afraid to know how much damage was done. The deer darted out, but I was too close to stop in time, so I thought I could hit the shoulder and beat it before it got to...

    Car almost caught fire!!

    Not sure how much more it would have taken to light, so I still say yeah. A LOT of smoke. Not sure what answer you're looking for....

    Car almost caught fire!!

    I took the sill off today. It was a plastic spacer on the bottom of the insulation jacket that melted. So a couple questions. Is it critical to not have ANY holes in the insulation? I have a couple small roughly 1/4" holes where clamp bolts cut through at some point. 2nd, would wrapping the...

    Car almost caught fire!!

    Well there was smoke. And where there's smoke there's usually fire. I think had I not had a hose handy to cool it off it might have lit. Plastic and paint burns. I got rid of the factory cats and added single high flows to each side. Crossover is gone too. Are you saying run no cats at all...

    Car almost caught fire!!

    I was out driving the other day and got in it pretty hard. When I got home and drove into my garage I noticed a weird smell. Not oil and not clutch, just weird. I raised the hood and could smell it more from the passenger side of the engine bay. Then I looked down and noticed smoke coming...
