    Engine Smoke

    After taking a corner pretty hard then punching it I noticed a big cloud of bluish-white smoke coming out of my exhaust pipes. It's never done that before and the only thing that has changed is addition of roller rockers, 62mm throttle bodies and oil change. The engine only has 20K on it and has...

    Smog Check

    My smog renewal noticed states: "Smog certificate required at a test only center". Apparently my car made the HEP (high emitter profile) list plus I live in an "Enhanced Area" (region with high pollution levels). I'm worried that it won't pass the smog check since I recently added headers...

    NEWS FLASH AUTOWEEK CONFIRMS Z06 500HP 0-60 3.5 SEC

    Looks like they copied the front end from the Gen II vipers and they did a poor job! Never did care for the design of Vettes and now I guess I never will :2tu:

    Header Question

    I was thinking of having a set of Valaya headers (from Ted May) installed with Borla exhaust (including hi-flow cats). Does anyone have this combo? If so how do you like it? :cool: Thanks!

    How does one get their titled changed from "Enthusiast" to "VCA Member?" I recently became a member and entered by VCA # under my profile but that didn't help. What am I missing?

    NEW PICS OF MY GTS...

    Beautiful car! Did the larger diameter rims mess up the calibration of your speedometer/odometer? If so is there a way to correct it?

    Smog Check -- Ouch!!

    Just had the smog check done on my Viper and it cost almost $100! :eek: Last time I had it done (~ 2 yrs ago) it only cost ~$30. :) They now have to place the car on a dyno and spin the back tires while measuring emissions. The only good news here is, thanks to Arnold, my registration...

    Idle Problem

    I accidentally left the hatch open overnight and when I tried to start the car the next morning all I heard was "click-click-click...". I measured the voltage on the battery and it only had 3v. So I jump started it and it started OK but it just will not idle. When I take my foot off of the gas...

    2001 GTS Overheating

    I have a 99 GTS w/14K miles and it runs a little past the third hash mark under normal driving conditions. Seems a little hot to me - would feel more comfortable if it stayed at the center mark. VB

    Engine Check Light - WTF

    Wayne, Thanks for the offer but I just dropped it off at the dealer (Stevens Creek Dodge). It was time for an oil change and I wanted to get the recall done (enforcement of the steering rack mounting brackets). As soon as I get some extra $$$, I'm going to have you do the exhaust mods we talked...

    Engine Check Light - WTF

    I was driving my Viper around this weekend - babying it as usual - and noticed that the "Check Engine" light came on. My car only has 13K miles on it and I'm not expecting anything like this to happen so soon! I did a search on this and found that it usually happens when the fuel/air mixture...

    Engine Check Light - WTF

    Lleone/JonB - thanks for the input I'll check it out. JonB - sorry if my heading offended you, won't happen again. I was just upset that I'm having problems with my car so soon. Even though my car has 13K on it, I've only owned it for 3K. Regards, Mark

    What's with my fuel gauge??

    What\'s with my fuel gauge?? I know that my viper has a 19 gallon tank but everytime the needle hits "0", the most fuel that I can put in is ~ 13 gallons! Is there a 6 gallon reserve? Does anyone else have the same issue? Thanks!!
