    The Viper Wizard Rules!

    Viper Nation, Just wanted to give a shout out to Chuck Tator (AKA - Viper Wizard). He never ask for thanks or recognition, but deserves it! He is a true asset to the Viper community. Not only did he get me a low cost 'hard to get' part very quickly, but helped me out with a vehicle appraisal...

    Clutch Inspection Cover -- Is it needed?

    Viperholics, 1.) I recently had a new clutch/pressure plate/TO bearing installed, and the mechanic told me the clutch inspection cover was damaged. It was only being held on by one bolt (should be four). Apparantly, this is pretty common via a previous post I read from Chuck Tator. Anywho...

    Clutch install question - please help!

    Hello Viperholics, 1.) I bought the clutch kit from the EBAY many people use. I am positive it has the correct pressure plate, clutch disk, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing. Now I've been told the alignment tool that comes with the kit is not correct. Although, it lines up with the splines...

    First Viper picture EVER from OUTER SPACE!

    Someone give me a cookie. As far as I know, I'm the first with a picture of a Viper from Outer space. See it! My Silver/Blue 1998 GTS. The image isn't the greatest, but from satellite it's pretty amazing IMO. If I continue to zoom it becomes really fuzzy. No doubt that's my car, parked right...

    For those that are catless.

    OK. My situation in this. I was running catless for a while, and liked the sound and decrease in heat (interior + sills). But I couldn't stand the exhaust smell. What I didn't realize (at that point) was my vents in the trunk area were out of place, allowing the exhaust gases to be sucked...

    Are front and rear O2 sensors the same?

    Basically, I want to replace my rear O2 sensors. I have an extra set of front O2 sensors off a '00 GTS in perfect condition. Can I use these in the back of my '98 GTS?

    What color should these bolts be? Pic included.

    Not a picture of my car, but these are the bolts I am referring to.... I have a '98 GTS Silver/Blue if that makes a difference (probably not). Seems they were originally flat black, but hard to tell since these bolts are starting to show there age. I'm thinking removal + wire brush + spray...

    0158 Code (O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage) Bank 2 Sensor 2

    Viperholics, I keep throwing this code about every 100 miles. Light stays on until I reset it. Stock headers/new OEM cats/Corsa Exhaust. Is the rear passenger O2 sensor tripping this error code? If so, I may just try to replace them (I have an extra set). Although, they are from a 2001 GTS...

    How do I adjust rear facia (tail lamp closure) on a GTS? Pics included.

    Viperholics, How do you adjust the rear facia (tail lamp closure)? As you'll notice in my pics, the drivers side seems to protrude out from the body a bit more. Thanks in advance. Drivers side (protrudes too much): Passenger side (looks fine):

    OK. Can't seem to figure this one out. Have a 1998 GTS. The heat only blows warm/hot when it is cold outside AND the operating temps. are low. After driving a few miles, no more hot air only cold is blowing from the vents. What is going on? I checked the cable on top of the water valve...

    Stock Exhaust size

    Stock Exhaust on a Gen II is 2.5 diameter, right? Gen III is the same, correct? I've got someone telling me it is 2.25, and I can't remember and no longer have a stock exhaust.

    Those whom own both a GTS and SRT10 - or have gone from a GTS to a SRT10

    Now that many owners have driven the SRT10 for a few years, and many still own/or have owned a GTS, how do they compare? Personally, I do love the looks of my Silver/Blue GTS, but I've been craving a convertible the past few months. And although I am not 'in love' with the exterior of the...
