    Installing new fuel filter and new battery

    Totally awesome write-up! My fuel filter has never been replaced. Just clicked over 80,000 miles and this has been one of those things in the back of my mind. Car runs perfect but something about having a 22 year old diaper on my baby's fuel system bothers me. I would think it is overdue for...

    My first Viper! She's finally here! 97' GTS

    Sweet! I see you also have the autoform wing but you don't have the additional stabilizing hardware installed. My hardware was all rusted when I got it and it also makes closing and opening the hatch difficult so I debated on just removing it. After thinking about it though, I was afraid that...

    Everyone with a Gen 2 should buy these right now. Very high quality, well packaged, even came with instructions. Buy them today before they are no longer available!!! Pictures are attached. Thank you to John at templeperformance for making these for the Viper community! Appreciate it.

    My first Viper! She's finally here! 97' GTS

    Congratulations! I remember that feeling. Respect her and she will be an excellent car. And remember, Vipers don't have the electronic safety nets found in most cars today. The horsepower and torque is super-fun but the car can easily break loose if pushed. On that note, check the...

    Clear Marker Lights for Gen 1 2 Production Ready to Start

    I had been searching for these awhile back but options were very limited. I ended up purchasing a set from someone on ebay. I received the set and they looked so cheap that I never put them on my car. The pics you posted are good but would you be able to post more detailed closeup pics of the...

    1996 - 2002 Dodge Viper Buyer's Guide Video.

    Excellent video man! I have been a viper owner for almost 15 years now and learned a lot. Very well made video as well. Also, impressive lungs. I don't think you took a single breath throughout the entire 50 minutes! Had to pause and go back a few times to catch some things but prefer the...

    Too much damn rain...

    Last Thursday here in PA I went and saw Fast & Furious 7. Thought it only appropriate to take the viper (unlike most folks on this board, I drive mine every opportunity I get). Checked the weather forecast and there was a 0% chance of rain until like 3 AM. After the movie, as my wife and I...

    STOLEN: 2002 Dodge Viper GTS - Henderson NV (Las Vegas)

    Wow! That is totally awesome news man! Obviously this was a horrific experience but I am so happy that you found her without any major damage. Best of luck with her in the future whether you sell or keep her and God bless!

    Snake Bite, I was a victim of it..

    Ditto on the above. This is an usual tire size and there are not many choices available. I just put new PS2s on mine for a cost of approx $1,800 installed. Purchased from Tire Rack. They gave me free 24-month road hazard protection on the fronts but not on the backs. Not sure why this is...

    Buying a GTS, but which to buy?

    Since you don't plan on driving it much at all, it would seem to make more sense to go with option A. I can't imagine only driving a car 3 times/year. Now that I finally got mine back on the road, I drive it every chance I get. Once you are bitten, it is addictive. Here's another idea...

    My 96 GTS Blue/ white stripes is going to auction

    Now you have to kiss and make up with her and beg for forgiveness. :kiss: Maybe a coolant flush and oil change followed by a professional detailing. That should do it. ;)

    Autoform products picture thread - Lets see what you have! (All years)

    Hi Steve. I have an awesome Autoform wing on my 97 GTS. You had helped me a few years back in obtaining replacement tips for the ends which I really appreciated. I realize these are not the greatest pics so if you need better ones, just let me know.

    STOLEN: 2002 Dodge Viper GTS - Henderson NV (Las Vegas)

    Wow. I am very sorry for your loss bro and hope she is found without any damage. Absolutely gorgeous car and sticks out like a sore thumb. Final edition 2002 as well. Very rare. I believe the actual number produced of those was 360. Free2go is right of course. You be crazy for selling her...

    Stalling, did not want to Idle

    Never had that problem but did experience an idle/stalling issue recently... Parked at a pizza shop and ready to leave. Turned key and released too quickly. Car started up but it almost seemed as if only a couple cylinders were firing. I tried to give it gas but it would barely take any and...

    Need help/advice: installation of silicone radiator hose & burping

    Good grief Charlie Brown. What a blockhead! I share my experience for the benefit of any other viper owners out there that are inexperienced mechanically yet still try to work on their cars (I fear there are none but here it goes anyway)... :brainless: So I purchased the silicone hoses from...

    MotoIQ.com - Project Viper GTS: Pt 1 - History & Intro

    I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing these. Thanks for sharing! Very interesting dyno numbers and also shocked by the before/after with just k&ns and smooth tubes. Sweet! :)

    Antifreeze Type & Refilling

    Thanks for input. I just got off the phone to find out what they put in her and it is Shell Zone ELC (extended life coolant). He said that it is universal and can be mixed with other coolant types but he recommended using an ELC antifreeze. Similar to Steve-Indy, he indicated that I...

    Antifreeze Type & Refilling

    As most of you know from my other thread, I just had my coolant system flushed and renewed and then the radiator hose burst. Now that the new hose is being installed, when I refill the system, is it critical to use the same exact type of antifreeze or can I mix and match? I plan on calling the...

    Need help/advice: installation of silicone radiator hose & burping

    Thanks fellas. I contemplated getting that bleeder kit with the hose but the thought of splicing it in to the existing tube was not appealing to me. Also, as I understand, this process of 'burping' the system works without the bleeder. ANy other input from folks on silicone hoses or burping...

    Locksmiths - Beware who you use...(long but funny)

    Funny. Thanks for sharing! Yes, you are so right about other people and that they will not treat your car the way you treat it. Recently took mine in to get inspected. I had forgotten to remove the dongle thingie on my battery connections for my battery tender. The mechanic that worked on...

    Need help/advice: installation of silicone radiator hose & burping

    Recently had the top radiator hose burst after I finally got her running after a 4-yr layaway. Purchased new silicone hoses from Sean Roe since he had best deal. Super fast shipping and even refunded me some for shipping cost. Thanks Sean! :2tu: Hoses seem to be great quality but my concern...
