    Need Recomendations for a Radar/Laser Detector

    The V1 is worth it's weight in gold! It's saved me a ton, and the directional arrows and bogey counter are useful. Cal

    MCVO Tour of Saleen Plant -- the Final Ford GT's

    Re: MCVO Tour of Saleen Plant -- the Final Ford GT\'s Great write-up, and pics. I love the Gulf LeMans color GT40's. Was that an option/special order/or final edition type of deal? Cal

    Removing the Cats completely? Much gain in noise and HP?

    What's that you say? Honestly it's not that bad unless you're really on it. I can carry on a cell phone conversation with no problems, or carry on a normal conversation with a passenger. Cal

    Anyone ever have the "Alarm Set" light stay on constantly?

    Re: Anyone ever have the It was actually my alarm remote keyfob that failed. I got a replacement remote from Tators, plus a new car battery and life was good (after reprogramming the keyfob, which is very easy). I suspect in retrospect that the keyfob malfunctioned, causing the alarm to...

    What a day at the track . . .

    Hey GR8 ASP, I got your comment. No track days whatsoever is criminal in a place like Michigan! I mean that's practically the birthplace of the American sports car!! :usa: I guess I'm a bit surprised at the defensiveness from a comment that wasn't a big deal, or ill-intended. Oh well...

    What a day at the track . . .

    Hey GR8 ASP...it's not a complaint (although it was obviously taken that way). It was purely an observation. :p Thanks to other posters on this thread, a whole bunch of track opportunities just opened up :cool: Cal

    Removing the Cats completely? Much gain in noise and HP?

    I did it, and I LOVE it. :headbang: I have the Belanger long tube Tri-Y headers, and B&B 3" exhaust (I don't believe the B&B mufflers do much, looking through them, there's zero restriction). I love the sound, especially at WOT. What I don't love is the raw fuel that dumps...

    What a day at the track . . .

    Hi Randy, I understand BAMF and Viper Days are separate events. I just dug out my newsletter I received in December, and maybe the dates changed, but the schedule indicated they were in fact both at Button Willow, with the BAMF event (Mar31) the day prior to Viper Days (Apr 1&2). I do...

    What a day at the track . . .

    Fred and Randy, Geesh, a harmless comment garnered so much attention :cool: You both have fair comments, I stand corrected. :buttkick: I joined the VCA last year in about June/July...and was itching for driving events as a new Viper owner. I went to the VCA SJGP event in July (my first...

    Should this be plugged on my intake?

    My car is a Cali car, and it's plugged. It's quite interesting that some are used and some are not, these cars aren't very different. Cal

    Should this be plugged on my intake?

    I have the identical connection plugged on my 96. No idea what it is, but looks factory to me. Cal

    Anyone ever have the "Alarm Set" light stay on constantly?

    Re: Anyone ever have the I had it happen when my battery died. After replacing the battery I also found my remote key fob died, so wasn't positive the alarm was stuck going off and killed the battery or it was just a coincidence, but after a new battery and remote keyfob all was well. Cal

    Looking to get into a Gen I and need some advice

    I second ViperJoe, get the Viper Buyers Guide by Maurice Liang (our NorCal VCA president). It covers each years in's and out's, production figures, and what to look for when searching for a car. It also has a lot of nice Viper history, trivia and other interesting info. You can pick it up...

    What a day at the track . . .

    Redsled, Thanks for the NCRC info. Low-mid 1:50's at T-Hil is definitely quick. They didn't time us in our program, so I'm not sure what I was running, but I know it was no where near that! luc that's a good synopsis of the track program operations, I can certainly see why clubs don't run...

    What a day at the track . . .

    Hi Fred, My comment was an observation (and one shared by more then myself I can assure you), but not a condemnation of the club, no need to take it personally. I'm just starting on the track program, as Thunderhill last week was my first time out. When I received the yearly norcal VCA...

    97 GTS radiator fan

    I put the larger fan in my 96 and I had to change the plug on the harness, and I think just add or remove one or two mounting bolts. It was pretty straight forward. Cal

    What a day at the track . . .

    Hey Dan, I remember chatting with you some time back (probably a couple of years back :D Do you know if the NCRC has driving instructors that are Viper savvy? Seems like the norcal VCA is more into car shows and BBQ's then driving events :bonker: Hate to say it, but thought it was a bit...

    Tiny exhaust specs in the paint

    I'm catless too and also seeing the same issue. I used Mequiars cleaner wax and it came right off. I went over that with a coat of Teflon based wax as an additional protective coat, I'll see how that works. I also just applied the Teflon based wax to 3 of 4 of my white wheels to see if it...

    Wrecked Viper from Ohio- Anyone on here??

    It's amazing how a stock car going 60MPH with a diff lockup turns into Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at 120MPH w/700HP :buttkick: Cal :hitfan:

    What a day at the track . . .

    Don - Thanks for the info on the SS brake lines. If you don't mind me asking, do you recall about how much $$ they were? Tom - That makes sense, I didn't even know little Bibendum was there, but just looked and sure enough he's all over the place :) Is the general censensus that the...

    stock shock settings

    Hom much of a difference does setting them in the middle make for tracking the car? Do you loose a lot of ride comfort? Cal

    What if Speed Bleeders came with brakes?

    Great idea Tom. I just installed these on all four calipers when I put on front rotors and pads. Their worth every penny as they make bleeding or flushing a very easy, one man operation. I also used the IV bag, not required, but sure made the job easier (although you could just use a tube...
