    93 Parking Brake Lever Fix?

    On occasion, the brake lever doesn't engage the cable or it pops "loose" as I apply the parking brake. How do I fix this?

    I AM SO FREAKIN MAD LAWYERS NEED YOUR HELP

    So why would you care at all? If you have a clear title with no liens, it says so. If you have a lien the title says so. It's not as if the fact you have loan lien is a big deal except during the payoff. Chesterfield County isn't the only place you'd sell the Viper. Again, willing sellers...

    Stolen Car Cover

    I thought I might as well throw this out to see if I can recover it. The car cover of my RT was stolen from my car near Sines' in Richmond, Va on 11/7/03 between 7:30 and 11:15 PM. I had the alarm on, but the vibration sensitivity set to low as it was in a heavily trafficked area. The cover...

    cold storage

    The rotors have a tendency to get some light rust on them and can bind to the brake pads. It also keeps you brake line from stretching over the winter.

    cold storage

    Also: Keep the gas tank full to reduce the chance of condensation. Add some fuel stabilizer to the tank. Put the battery on a float charger. Make sure you leave the parking brake off. Cover it with a breathable cover. Your done.

    Vette vs Viper Vid VIR viper days revisited

    Heck, I ran a 2:14.849 (87.2 mph avg.) at VIR back in May. The fast guys in this class are running 2:11's and 2:09's in the same car. Not bad for a little 2 cylinder, 500cc, SCCA F-5 car with bad spec suspension!

    Gen 4 Viper engines being developed as we speak.

    Check out the steps to lower one's self into the crankcase area. I assume the electric motor is the starter?

    SRT-10 in St. Maarten

    I agree on the St. Maarten roads. They are horrible. we rented a ****** and it was bottoming out everywhere. The goats and chickens do add an element of suprise. Did you lay down on the beach when the jumbo jet landed? (Air France?) Our towels got moved and we got blasted with sand. It was...

    Worst day of my life I lost my snake!

    Man bites dog....rare news Viper crashes on a joy ride and a kid injured? Rarer news. One would think there would be a newspaper article he could submit as evidence.

    WHO GETS THE BEST MPG?

    I've gotten 24.5 at 60 mph. The Valentine was going off all day long. 93 R/T, K&N's and straightpipes, no top.

    have any of you ever wired in your own compressor?

    It doesn't need to be hardwired if you use a 230V plug in receptacle. If 230 V, the motor should list the amperage load on the name plate. It's probably 20 or 30 amps. You can use a HACR breaker whcih has a little more resistance to tripping. There are 4 wires in a 230 V circuit. 2 Hots...

    Hard Top Troubles!

    If it broke off in the metal, just drill and tap the next larger size. No big deal. Heat will sometines make it looser as well. I've also seen really good welders tack weld a stud onto the broken part and back it out. Then switch to grade 8 or AN fasteners.

    Clutchless transmission?

    I've done it once just to see if it can be done, but I can shift my 93 RT now without a clutch. You just have to get the momentum and shift times aligned.

    Audio Problems -Door Speakers Not Working

    When mine went out, it was the RCA plug in the trunk that had a broken wire at the molding. Try a jumper wire from one side to the other first or swap the amps. Also, make sure the amp is getting 12v.
