    Texas Emissions test

    My Viper came from Houston and the previous owner (AlexK aka SneakySnakes) got it to pass Texas Smog Test even with the Belanger exhaust. So it can be done. Try reaching out to him on Instagram or YouTube (not sure if he's still on UTube).

    Fun With Personalized Plates

    No not at all! No TDS here (TDS => Trump Derangement Syndrome). I don't hate Trump. And that was an cardboard overlay on the plate. Not an actual plate. I think applying the "Orange Man Bad" moniker to a bright Orange Viper completely defuses any political connotations or pretense from...

    Gen 4 KW shock???

    I have the KW's too (on my GenIV) n' a while back I was considering having them refurbished (just cuz of their age). Called KW and they said to ship 'em over and they'd do a full rebuild for a reasonable price. I don't recall how much $$, but it wasn't bad.

    Texas Emissions test

    ALABAMA. No smog test required AT ALL. You can get a smog test if you like, but you don't have to do anything about it if it fails. Love it!! I recently visited Huntsville and toured the northern parts of the state. The roads were beautiful, very flat and meticulously maintained. Even the...

    Fun With Personalized Plates

    ORMNBAD => Orange Man Bad No worries, I don't think too many people at the Good Guys car show got it either.

    Fun With Personalized Plates

    Testing out a new personalized plate. Friends and neighbors thought it was hysterical so I took it to the Good-Guys car show yesterday and I'd say the test results were less than optimal. I couldn't tell if the general public understood the abbreviated phrase or if they got it at all or...

    Personalized plates

    Generally here in California you can get yellow characters on a black plate OR blue characters on a white plate (standard). For historical vehicles can get black characters on a yellow plate. Plus a slew of other themed plates (like whales etc..) For my test plates I painted the cardboard...

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    Took her out hunting for orange paint for the intake trim on the Porsche. Seemed appropriate. Cruising the streets with MASSIVE Viper power always feels sooo good, so smooth. Orange on Black! Gotta keep up with the Viper.

    Car Nickname

    For the first 5 years, she was "The Orange Lure". Great Super Hero name. Color is Very Viper Orange..which is hard to miss on a sunny day. The cops would notice and follow waiting for me to do something stupid. Invariably, an unworthy opponent gearhead would show up and do stupid stuff and get...

    Cleaning my Sidewinder hyper black rims

    Resurrecting this 7 year old thread! Any excuse to post pics of my Black Onyx Chrome PVD coated SidewinderII wheels. As for cleaning 'em, I just use the same car shampoo used in the wash and a wheel brush, then wipe 'em down with a microfiber towel and maybe a little P&S Beadmaker Detail Spray...

    Suspension bushings

    If you do want to tackle this yourself, you can probably borrow (for free) a bushing press kit from your local auto parts store. Plenty of How-To vids on UTube. Certainly not as nice and zippy as a hydraulic press but it'll get the job done.
