    Sound system issue 2005 Copperhead SRT10

    I have a 2003 SRT-10 with the same problem. I took it to a car audio shop in Encinitas, CA. He removed the subwoofer box, opened it up and epoxied the tube back in place. The foam material in the box had deteriorated and the subwoofer tube will rattle. You might be able to do it yourself, but it...

    One Little Screw in my Run-Flat and I am out $1000 !

    Finally! I took my car to 4 tire shops and found one to patch the tire. An hour later after I left they called to say their tire machine couldn't get the tire off the rim. Not happy, I drove back to get my wheel and surprisingly the guy was still working on it. He got it patched, no scratches on...

    One Little Screw in my Run-Flat and I am out $1000 !

    Discount Tire won't patch the tire. They talked to Michelin and they said that they won't replace the tire and they don't allow a patch. There is 4/32 of tread depth (according to the Discount Tire guy, but I need to measure it myself) which means that I am probably 80% through the tire life. If...

    San Diego Viper Tech???

    Mike Carrasco is no longer at Jack Powell Dodge. I'd like to know what dealers/viper techs everyone uses in San Diego as well --- especially for warranty work, which is not straightforward with West Coast Viper.

    One Little Screw in my Run-Flat and I am out $1000 !

    Just got a screw in my rear run-flat and due to wear (I have 9000 miles on my '03 SRT-10), the guy at Discount Tire says I should replace both rears. The screw is not in the sidewall, but in the center. It should be an easy fix, if Michelin allows it. I figure I have 2-4,000 miles left. Can't...

    What happened at Jack Powell Dodge ? Mike Carrasco gone !

    Took my SRT-10 in for service to Jack Powell Chrysler Dodge in Escondido. No problems, Phil did a great job . . . but they remodeled the parts dept. and the service department and they replaced just about everyone including our Viper tech/service guy Mike Carrasco ! What's up ??

    Why are 1997 RT-10's hard to find/none for sale??

    Re: Why are 1997 RT-10\'s hard to find/none for sale?? Maybe I shouldn't sell. But it just sits while I drive the SRT-10 or haul my 3 kids around in one of the other cars. I getting sentimental as people call about the car. It took so long to find and negotiate the sale.

    Fun at the dragstrip today: 11.76 , 11.82 @ 122,

    How about safety equipment? Does your SRT have a roll bar, five point harness, half shaft loops, etc. ? If not, I thought that NHRA rules would not allow for an 11 sec car to run without these safety items. Comments ? FYI, I also have a DC Performance Stage 1

    > NEW SRT HARD TOP SKETCH <

    Your sketch looks great, but unfortunately it doesn't match with the stock windows or rear decklid. You'd need to modify both in some fashion. Autoform did the best they could considering we lazy Viper owners want the top off in 3 min.

    Door Poppers

    The stock RT/10 Gen 1 had zippers on the (jeep) windows that you can use to access the inside door handle to open the door. Aftermarket plexiglass windows had either a slider or an access door or door poppers with an emergency door release cable under the hood if your battery was dead. Some of...

    California Emissions -- Need Help

    Your car must have a CA smog cert sticker to register it in CA. I've been through it. Doesn't matter what the emissions are, you need the CA sticker under the hood or the DMV will not register it!!! If your car doesn't have the sticker, the dealer can probably order it and send it to you. Been...

    SRT and jack stands?

    Buy a 4 post lift, drive it up and push the button. It's cheaper than a set of headers!

    K & N FILTER KIT DYNO RESULTS (pic)

    Chris - It seems as if you compare stock to the smooth tube &amp; K&amp;N filter setup. What would really be interesting is to make the only variable the smooth tube. We all know that the K&amp;N filters are way better than stock. The real question is what HP &amp; torque is added by JUST the...

    No Front Plate

    In California you need a front plate as well. Red light photo radar is everywhere and it shoots a picture of your front plate. In CA it's only a fix it ticket and it doesn't count on your driving record. Two ty-wraps hold mine on long enouh to get it signed off, if I get caught. Here the risks...

    What's this guys problem?

    Re: What\'s this guys problem? This is an old one. I remember seeing the driving instructor's assessment, which I belive did confirm missing the downshift. This video has been around for a while.

    K & N filters and smooth tube

    Below is the dyno sheet from Leonard Knight's car done in Dec '03. Probably with a prototype K&amp;N setup. I don't have the details, I am just posting it for Leonard. While it shows an 11HP improvement, there is no torque # and maybe this could be achieved with filters alone.
