    Battery replaced by Dealer under warranty

    My battery ('01 GTS) had died from not being driven enough. I bought a Battery Tender and tried to charge it. After a week it didn't work, so I called DC Roadside assitance. They jump started the car and I dropped it off at the Dealer. The Dealer checked it out and replaced the battery...

    Help... front brake piston stuck

    I was changing the front brake pads this morning and I accidently over-extended one of the pistons when depressing the other. Now it is stuck. How do I correct this? Do I need to take off the caliper? I've changed front pads before, but this is the first time I've gotten the piston stuck :(...

    Battery maintainer/charger

    Viper wouldn't start this morning. Dead battery :( Does someone make a battery charger/maintainer for the Viper that you plug into the cigarette lighter. I have one for the Porsche (bought at Dealer). Is it okay to use the Porsche charger on the Viper? Viper is 2 years old so maybe it's...

    5 or 6-point harness?

    I'm looking to get the TeamTech 5 or 6-point harness for my 01 GTS with stock seats. Any comments as too which one is better for my occasional track use? I'll probably get Dave Jenkins to do the install. Thanks, Craig

    Supercharger vs. Warranty

    All this talk about superchargers lately... I assume it will void the factory warranty?

    Blue GTS with white stripes on Santiago Canyon...

    I followed a beautiful blue GTS with white stripes (96 or 97?) on my way into work this morning on Santiago Canyon around 10:00 AM. Was it anyone here? At first I thought it was Frank from Laguna Niguel, but the car did not have a rear wing. I was in the red Porsche Boxster S. One thing I...

    Thinking about lowering my GTS...

    mostly because it looks like it needs it with all the space between the top of the wheel well and the tires. Is this a dumb idea? The car is already very low and it's hard to not scrape the front air dam on driveways. I lowered my Boxster S with H&R springs and like it a lot. But I think it...

    Just got my Corsa 3

    Sounds awesome at full throttle but is very quite at freeway cruising speeds. It also looks much better than stock exhaust. Just what I wanted. Thanks Dave Jenkins

    1st time to redline...

    Now that my car is broken in I was able to enjoy the massive acceleration rush yesterday. Drove around Orange County with a friend going full throttle to redline in 1st and 2nd a few times. What a Rush!!! A bit scary at first as you literally have to hold on. Only problem is that you're...

    Plug for MGW

    Intake whistle with smooth tubes...

    Dave Jenkins told me it would do this when he installed them for me. I don't mind it but I was curious why it does this. Loving my GTS more and more each day, probably because I can rev it higher with more mileage. What a rush!

    Brake pad recommendation for street?

    Stock brakes on my 01 GTS squeal when pressed lightly. Not sure my neighbors appreciate this when I go home late in the evening. Does anyone have a recommended replacement pad? I've heard EBC greens are good for street use. TIA

    Warped rear valance panel just left of exhaust outlet...

    Just noticed this on my 01 GTS. It droops (bulges) on left side whereas right side looks fine. I don't think it was that way when delivered. Did the heat of the exhaust cause this? Is it common? Warranty item?

    Aluminum pedals - heal & toe

    I've had my car for 2 days and have discovered that it is very difficult to heel & toe. Does anyone make aftermarket aluminum pedals for the Viper? I didn't see any in the Snake Oil catalog I got from Woodhouse. I have Gemballa pedals on my Boxster S and like them very much. Also, are there...

    Buying an out of state Viper in California

    In Jay Herbert's "Tips on Buying a Viper" he warns of trying to register a low milage out-of-state Viper if living in California. If the car is not California smog certified and has less than 7500 miles I believe he is saying that you cannot register it here. I checked the CA DMV website and...

    Buying a used GTS

    I may be buying a used GTS next week and wanted to know what to look for to determine if the car is in good shape. Are there any recommended Viper service specialists you can recommend? The car is located in the San Diego area. I live in Orange County. TIA Craig
