    Cool Vid, where is the Viper?

    May be a repost, nice 8 minute vid of four laps of high end cars going head to head. Lambo Gallardo, Lambo Merc., 911 Turbo, Modena, NSX-R I think and an M3. Notice how hard the tach climbs in the Merc with the in car footage. I'd say the NSX driver skill had something to do with the results he...

    Detroit/Windsor 2 hour cruise to VCA dyno day, anyone?

    Anyone from the area want to join on my annual pilgrimage out of the armpit of North America, the Detroit/Windsor area, and head on up to the dyno day at Tag Motorsports in Oakville, ON? Motorcity Madman is in for sure, anyone else want to join? GenIIGts, love to see your GTS if your...

    Grocery shopping in the GTS, hmmmmmm.....

    Juiced up my cooling system for the winter and thought I'd go out for a cruise to get it cycled thru the system to avoid any freeze up issues over the hibernation period. (I run 25% glycol in the summer, works great). End up meeting up with this girl I know who needed to pick up some stuff from...

    First weekend with my GTS after a summer hiatus!

    Some may recall my thread on my Bday no less (June 22nd) when I toasted my input shaft into a finely grated metal mess some 5 miles from my home and pushed the car the entire way for four hours as it was in the middle of the night and no flat bed tow was available nor do I sleep well when my car...

    Origins of Magic Carpet Ride GTS Video?

    Anyone know why this video was made? Seems a little long for any media airplay, maybe a CD rom freebie handout at an autoshow maybe? Just watched it, cool video, if anyone wants a copy with a decent email (15 meg), let me know. Some camera pans that show what we all love about GenII!

    Kumho=Traction=Input shaft in two pieces.

    Finally brought my tranny over to a high performance tranny shop in the Detroit area (Liberty Transmission, home of the pro-shifted tranny), and looks like I toasted the input shaft. Not good. For sure took out the 4th gear teeth, and gods knows what else on a 2nd to 3rd shift, hoping the 3rd...

    Hey Gang, blew out my slave cylinder I think, any help?

    After pushing my car 4 miles home from a previous post, hats off to Mike Adams for stopping by and checking things out on his way home from some go-kart action in Windsor, thanks Mike, a big help. Car runs fine, and gears all appear normal, the bolts in a tin can sounds only on the releasing...

    Pushed my Viper 4 miles on my Birthday!!

    Leading a pretty hectic life as of late, moving into a new building, leaving the Viper in a garage at another building, taking on a new manager for this location to take care of the place. Thought I'd take him out for a ride in the Viper as he had been asking for a while. Birthday on Sunday...

    EBC and rear muff delete report.

    Finally have some seat time in my EBC green padded GTS. Dust is nearly nothing, incredible, what was a blackened rim after an hour is near perfect on the EBCs, nice. Went all the way around for good measure, on the dust factor I am 100% satisified. As far as stopping power, not so sure, pedal...

    EBC Green Install for Dummies.

    Just came in from a 4 corner EBC Green install on my 97 GTS. Like most things Viper I go in with a little hesitation and come out wishing I would quit thinking about the value of the car and just do all the work myself. Notes of interest: Rotors pop off the car with no trouble at all, fronts...

    Anyone cruise around sans sidesills?

    Taking my car to a shop for some welding work and rear muff delete, and just picked up my newly painted side sills today. Rather than risk the on/off/on process at the shop, can I leave them off and drive the thing over there (30 miles or so) to get the work done? While no obvious mechanical...

    Brake fluid flush for idiots!

    Thought I would share my brake fluid flush that I hit for the first time myself after reading past threads on the procedure with various unanswered questions over the years. Not that big a deal, would have it down to 20 minutes now, those of us on jacks spend nearly that lining up and getting...

    Quick Q, what did it cost to repaint your sidesills?

    Hitting mine this upcoming week and would love to hear some numbers as to know if I am in the ballpark on them, unlike the minion that quoted me nearly 5 bills (out the door) for a rear muffler delete. thanks,

    Just quoted $400 for a muffler delete!!

    If the project is above your head, just say it's above your head. I had a hard time keeping a straight face, and then he says he needs the car as well (on an OEM rear muffler section). I try to keep my money in this town first, let them let me down time and time again and then go to those in...

    Kumho, Cats, and cruddy Dyno reflection.....

    Time to share my thoughts after 500 miles on new tires and exhaust mods. Bald OEM from 97 MXX3's had various chunks of rubber missing, after much debate went with Kumho Ecsta V700s all around, $1350 Cdn installed and balanced out the door (about $880 US, best delivered price to MI, $700 from...

    Help-Rear Diff metal on metal noises.....ugh

    Hey Gang, Pulled my 97 GTS out of hibernation finally for the first time Sat night and encountered a severe metal on metal rubbing noise coming from what I have deduced down to the rear diff. I do recall some grinding when returning from the dealership on the frame recall, I had them change...

    which is better

    Short answer would be stick with the early GenII cars. Maybe Tom (BTR) will offer some more indepth comments, 2000+ seem to handle a 100 shot without problems, get serious with juice and trouble may arise. The good news is it's not "all" that expensive to upgrade to better pistons if you get a...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33748&item=1876759298 thought about jumping into the fray on them but will hope 17" prices drop to realistic levels in the coming months. Didn't recognize the high bidder from here or I would have stayed quiet, maybe someone...

    Winter Storage: To start or not to start?

    Have been reading conflicting reports on starting your car that is in winter storage. While coolant temps will pull into operating range, without a load being put on the motor (driving out of the garage not an option), is the motor really getting warmed sufficiently to get fluids moving? Have...

    video of myself driving up my Michelin stock.....

    This video was just put up on a different thread that the Michigan NSX Club had put on last Sunday. Had a blast cruising with other makes of cars and had to display the Viper nation forte: smokey burnouts. (after racing go karts against each other with fully timed qualifying rounds, check out...
