    Sun Visors

    I just got my visors back from my upholsterer. He re-covered them in a black suede material. They look great, and he didn't mention any problems with doing them.

    2014 Gen II Viper mile count

    2000 RT/10. Purchased February 6, 2005, meaning I have had it exactly 9 years today. Bought with 35,xxx on the clock, currently sitting in the garage with 60,000.0 miles. Lived in Virgina and SC for the last 10 years, just retired from the miltary and moved to Illinois last summer. It...

    I think (hope!) my clutch finally went...help?

    Update: Yep, there is now a nice pool of brake fluid under the car. Coming from the front of the bellhousing. Definitely the slave. In a possibly related matter, the clutch pedal has been squeaking as I released it for a while now...I'd also like to fix that while I am in there. Anyone...

    I think (hope!) my clutch finally went...help?

    Ok, so slave or master cylinder issues. No fluid under the car, and level in the master cylinder looks normal. If it's the slave, I am going to go ahead and replace the clutch while I am in there. I am having my mechanic do the work, so labor isn't free. Best place to source the parts? I...

    I think (hope!) my clutch finally went...help?

    BLUF: Clutch doesn't seem to be disengaging when I push the pedal,and I can't seem to get the transmission in reverse, even with the engine off. Long version: So, I backed my car out of the garage this morning, and couldn't get it out of reverse. I had to shut it down, shift into 1st, then...

    Fuel filter help!

    Ok, after much gnashing of teeth, I have a new fuel filter in...and still have both of my eyes. It was a pain, but with a little gentle pressure, it came out pretty readily. Thanks for the help guys.

    Fuel filter help!

    Ok, I know it's been asked a thousand times, but how the heck do I get the fuel filter disconnected? I read to use the quick disconnect tool, which I have, but I'm still having a hard time. Do I push the plastic collar piece towards or away from the filter? And at the same time, push the line...

    The long GOODBYE......

    Tony, While you are thanking all those who helped, do not forget all of us that you have helped along the way. You (unknowingly) found the Viper I ended up buying, let me use your lift, helped with changing my oil, and answered so many "Viper Rookie" questions for me that I will be forever in...

    Anyone try the Langka paint touchup system??

    I just used Langka on a scratch I put into the rear fender. It isn't perfect, but it is still much better than using just touch-up paint to try to fix a scratch or a nick. The key is patience. You can still the scratch on my car if you are looking for it, but it is not nearly as noticeable as...

    Where to get wire harness for new CD player?

    I have installed a couple aftermarket units in a couple of Vipers. There is no harness - I checked with Metra, Best Kits, AI, and about every other kit manufacturer I could think...no one makes a harness for the GTS/RT10. You just have to suck it up and cut the wires. Sorry. Matt

    Ok, what is this?

    On the passenger side of the car, immediately in front of the firewall, there is a flat horizontal panel with some hoses going into it. Mine is covered with a thin (and tacky) coat of oil. This can't possibly be normal, can it? Does anyone know what it is, and why it covered with sticky oil...

    theft/security on our viper GTSs

    Nope, nothing on the trunk or back glass of the RT/10s. And running a pinswitch to the trunk is a pain. Matt

    Re: first VIPER ticket... reckless driving from speeding in VA... advice?? I was in the same situation last time I lived in Virginia, I got caught doing 84 in a 55 (I-264 in Virginia Beach). I hired a lawyer for about $700 and got the ticket reduced from reckless drving by speed to careless...

    Virginia Viper owners...who wants free beer?

    Hello everyone! I bought my Viper in February, then moved to Newport News, VA in April, then promptly put it in storage - I am in the Navy, and it was time for me to meet the ship out at sea. But soon it will be time for me to come home, and I have a lot of maintenance I want to accomplish...

    Full coverage on financed Viper?

    I am out to sea right now in the US Navy (but coming home soon!!). I let my insurance company know that the car would be in storage the entire time I was gone. They didn't remove my Comp coverage, but they did reduce my liability coverage and collision coverage based on the fact that it would...

    2005 Viper & Other Exotics Spotters Thread

    Re: 2005 Viper & Other Exotics Spotters Thread F355, the license plate "FLY USN" probably means he is a Navy pilot. Just a thought. Matt

    Just changed plugs - now I have another question...

    I haven't...if it too nasty out to drive with the top off, I drive a different car. But the last owner probably did; hopefully the next time I change plugs I won't see it!

    Just changed plugs - now I have another question...

    It's a 2000,and I don't spray the motor to clean it...I've only had it a month or so now, and I haven't had a chance to detail the engine compartment yet. Hopefully it was a one-time thing, but I will keep my eye on it. Matt

    Just changed plugs - now I have another question...

    Ok, so I just finished changing my plugs and wires; thanks again to Chuck Tator for the quick delivery and great price on the new wires! I put in Champion 412s and OEM wires. The good news: it took me less than an hour and a half from start to finish, my first time! I was worried it would...

    Where to buy OEM plug wires?

    I know, I know, the dealer. My dealer wants $84 for them, and he won't have them in until next week. I would like to have them by this weekend, and I see most of you guys are paying $63 for them...where? Matt

    How did you get your Viper?

    People always thought I was a Ford man, I owned 3 Mustang Cobras and 2 Lightnings over the last 6 years. My close friends knew better...they said I was a car mercenary. Whatever happened to get me from point A to point B the fastest, the coolest, and the cheapest was what I wanted. I decided...

    Zaino on vinyl?

    I have used the 303 and the Zaino "leather in a bottle" on my dash and doors. The Zaino is shiny, almost greasy, but it can be "buffed" with a clean towel to take down some of the sheen, though. The 303 works great, not too shiny and doesn't attract dust. I mostly use the Zaino on mine...
