    Plug n' play replacement head unit - any good ones?

    Plug n\' play replacement head unit - any good ones? I've been meaning to replace the stock Alpine head unit for about...oh, 3 or 4 years. I swapped out all of the speakers with good stuff years ago and never got around to the Alpine. I've searched, but every post I've found talks about...

    Thinking about selling my GTS FE....

    Hey fellas, been a long time since I've been around these parts. The last few years have been CRAZY busy - so busy in fact that I retired late last year from the game biz! I became a proud daddy in August of 2005 and I honestly got tired of not seeing my little girl, so I rearranged a few...

    Recall F07 - anyone know what this is?

    Howdy fellas, I added an '06 SRT10 to the stable last month (she gets along great with the GTS!) and I had to get the out of state inspection done in order to register the title. Anyhow, took the car in today, got the inspection done, no big deal - all checks out. After I got home, I looked...

    Anyone heard from Jason at West Coast Viper recently?

    I've been trying to get a hold of him for about 2 weeks with no luck - anyone know if he's around?

    Very odd tach behavior and missfire/bucking craziness - help!!

    Over the past 2 months or so my Viper has developed a very odd problem. When going WOT, the car will often buck and misfire very violently. It feels exactly like the fuel cutoff when you hit the rev limiter...but it happens at 3K and will almost break your neck as the car stalls under WOT...

    Anyone here work with carbon fiber?

    Kind of a strange request but one of the tube mounts on my carbon fiber airbox snapped loose this past week...it turns out that the outlet collars are just epoxied onto the box a glue of some sort. What can I use to reattach it? Any suggestions or issues I should be aware of when "gluing" to...

    Amps that will replace the OEM amp cleanly?

    I have to imagine that there are a few more beefier Alpine (or others) amps out there that will fit the stock location without any modifications. Can anyone recommend an amp that fits the stock location using the existing mounting hardware? Only other changes are better speakers (BA Pros up...

    My Final Edition is 1 year old today. :)

    Technically she's a year and a half old if we're talking build date...I took delivery one year ago today. After an entire year I'd say I'm about 4 times as happy with her as I was back then. :) Now I gotta go bake a mean mod cake for her...

    Need some help from someone with a Gen II and a digital camera

    First off, this will require that you remove your radio faceplate trim piece which only takes a second...I need someone to take pics of something for me (the way it came from the factory). I'm in a bit of a spot and could really use the help - PM me if you have a moment and don't mind popping...

    Anyone change their VEC1 settings in the winter?

    Just curious if there's any gains/negatives to be had with adjusting during different seaons... Took the snake out tonight for an hour and, with 50 degree weather even, she felt a touch sluggish tonight for some reason. I suspect it's a simple case of SCE (supercharger envy). ;)

    Random thoughts...

    In most cars, once warmed up you can casually stretch 'em up to about 3500rpm - 4000rpm gently before shifting and not break the speed limit. Let em breathe a little and just stretch things out. Now, you're not accelerating hard mind you, just cruising and savoring the later shifts - listening...

    Carbon fiber airbx - round two... <install problems>

    Well, I found and bought a pair of 3" to 2.5" samco reducers. Had the airbox off the Viper as I waited all week to get the tubes delivered...(in other words, a long week without vipering at all!) They were a touch too long and the mounting holes in the front of the airbox would simply not...

    Need a speedo calibrator kit...

    Where might I buy one? I've secured a carrier and gears - so I just need the calibrator kit by itself. I've been told that I should buy a Unitrax unit but I'm unsure of who sells it by itself. (Thanks for all of the heads up on the diff to all of those who chimed in - much appreciated! :) )

    Question for carbon fiber airbox owners...

    Picked up a Factory 10 carbon fiber airbox this past week and I have a quick question for some of you guys that also own this airbox. It looks like a set of 3" to 2.5" silcon reducer ends (commonly found on chrome smooth tubes for example) will work for the output collars - what are some of you...

    2002 Final Edition dyno results in

    Thought I'd better start a new post as I had folks continuing to make guesses after my update on the original thread. Here's the repaste : ======== Man, some of you were nearly exact in your guesses! Some people were closer on TQ, some were closer on HP. One person was exact on TQ and...

    JonB hooks me up again...

    The other night, I noticed that my shifter had started to spin in place (with enough force). Fearing the worst, I dug in there and sure enough the rubber insulator had seperated from the shift rod. After looking at it closely, it appears that it's not bonded all that well to begin with...
