    What is the best Shifter for Gen II Vipers?

    http://www.richdetert.com/RichsShifterParts.htm See if this fellow from the past still provides these. They are good quality and inexpensive. I have one in my '99 and it works well and maintains stock appearance.

    Gear ratios

    3:73 is too much gear. 3:45/3:55 gears place you squarely in 4th gear at the end of the quarter mile and are right sized for the car. I have 3:45s while many owners use 3:55s. The new Gen 5 uses 3:55 gears and their rpm effectiveness is higher than Gen 2 cars. Gen 2s run out of breath at 5500...

    Is anyone running the ACR oil filter adapter on a Gen 2.

    I had a trap door oil pan and ACR filter adapter on my ACR but blew my engine on turn nine at Willow Springs, CA - wide right turn high speed sweeper. The fun ended when a loud thunk occurred. I installed an Accusump.com oil sump (poor man's dry sump) as part of the rebuild and problem was...

    99 ACR w/ exhaust dyno results

    There were lots of discussions years ago regarding these dyno numbers, and whether just a cat back system would produce much gain. The answer is generally no. It varies of course but look at it like this, 404 hp divided by .88 (typical parasitic losses from flywheel hp as delivered) gives 460...

    Radiator Fan died Yesterday

    Mine died awhile back. Check the connector to the fan motor itself. Mine was burnt and everything else was OK. If burnt, eliminate the connector by directly splicing the leads. I got this tip from DC Performance and it totally solved my problem. Good luck

    Coolant Smell & Silicone Hoses?

    In addition to these inputs, check the heater valve inlet hose clamp (at the right rear of the engine compartment). This was the culprit on my GTS. You could smell the small leak because it is close to the interior air intake. I sliced a little off the hose and put on a new screw type clamp.

    Will I notice any diffirence?

    Catless smells not so great too. One of my better mods was putting cats back on. When you think about sound think about the smell too. Sit at a stop light with the windows down and you will know what I mean.

    Missing Koni's

    The ACR Konis are nothing to brag about. They were guaranteed to leak, rattle and fail and are expensive to rebuild. I dumped them years ago for the Penske setup.

    Lance's Console Wedge from Dave?

    I think the year matters. '99 and newer have a console that is about half the material thickness of earlier cars. I bought one out of a '98 (mine was damaged) and it is much more robust with no rib structure. I still added a spacer underneath to be safe. It appears there was a little cost...

    ACR - Clearbra options?

    I had the 3M film professionally installed on the hood of my snake. It was great when I tracked my car frequently, but it yellowed after about 4 years and was a total hassle to remove - adhesive stuck all over. I still have the film on my front fascia cause it looks OK, but the hood just looked...

    09 ZR1, didn't buy it!

    Is that ZR1 lowered a bit or is that the stock ride height?
