    Gen 1 Sidepipe Paint Protection

    I have some of the NOS paint protection film for the Gen 1 side pipes. When I was thinking about reproducing some I noticed that the OE pieces were really thick. I couldn't find anything that thick. Maybe it was thicker to withstand the extreme heat. That upgraded thermal insulation is the way...

    1996 Window Outer Door Glass Weatherstrip

    Back in 98 or so, I took my 96 GTS to the dealership for some warranty work. They told me there was a "TSB" (I think that's what they called it) on those weatherstrips. The two piece is assembly line correct but the one piece looks good to me.

    2000 RT-10 over heats when the air is turned on?

    Is your electric fan coming on? Sometimes fried wiring and/or relay burns up. Heard of a bad ground for the fan too. See attached screen shot.

    96 Viper GTS valve cover differences?

    I was curious about that too since my car isn't too far behind yours. So, I was board one night and did a search of completed auctions on Mecum, Barrett-Jackson and Bring A Trailer. The latest Vin I saw, number 270, had the drivers side filler cap and every car I found before that had it on the...

    Question on rear boot

    I bought a couple boots from a seller on eBag. The main problem, they are overseas and it took a couple weeks to get them. So if you have time and your links are not worn out; Dust_boots

    Drilled brake rotors 97 GTS

    What he said on the drilled. EBC is a good rotor. They have some that are dimpled that look like they are drilled. Dimpled + slotted would look really good. I went with the slotted from Roe Racing. Summit Racing has a nice selection of EBC's. Summit Racing

    Fixing Viper Flaws

    I like the idea of the T-nuts. I was in a hurry and used those plastic drywall anchors with some glue. They are holding good but I'm sure I'll be replacing them again someday.

    2002 RT Full Borla Exhaust

    My Mopar Performance system was too loud for me. Mine was louder without the cat so I just left it out and added a Magnaflow to it. Sounds good to me now.

    Borla Cat Back

    I'd replace the stock cat with high flows. But first, try adding a "test" pipe in place of the cats and see if you like it. Mine was too loud so I added a small Magnaflow in place of the cats to get the sound I liked. When it's time for state inspections the cats go right back in.

    GTS exhaust question

    You'll be fine. Maybe if you tracked your car then I'd make sure everything is 3".

    K&N Filter Cleaning Frequency?

    I'm lazy. I bought extra filters so they'll be ready to go in at a moments notice. Then the dirty one gets cleaned and I wait a few weeks or so until dry. Then oil it and put it up so the oil wicks out and I'm ready for the next filter change.

    Viper Red Paint

    Did you get that paint matched yet? Reason why I asked, I bought a new 95 R/T 10 back in the day, and I also asked for a bottle of touch-up paint too. The car is long gone but I still have the paint. You can only see last five digits of the part number on the bottle: 00792. Yes, I cleaned the...

    Why do most early Vipers have flaps on side of the fan shroud?

    They are for airflow. At low speeds, stop and go, idling, to help direct air thru the radiator with the fan. At speed the fan can't pull enough air vs the air speed so the flaps "open" up. Simple yet functional. Hope this helps.

    How many fires caused by power steering fluid cap flying off?????

    This is what everyone was buying from Roe Racing back in the day; https://bit.ly/2Qll2ZK Have one on my car. What you don't see is they give you a zip tie that wraps around the reservoir and tube that helps to keep it in place. Should be able to make one for a couple bucks. It just directs the...

    Need factory rock chip film for 2002 GTS

    Back in the day I ordered a couple sets. Used one set and thought I'd get some extras made for future projects. If you don't find some NOS ones, let me know.

    Are 96 GTS rims strong enough for drag radials?

    I wouldn't take a chance. Your going to buy new tires, just spend another 2 to 300 bucks for the 97-98 wheels. Its cheap insurance and you have your orginal set of tires & wheels to put back on.

    I just posted my AUTOMATIC Viper for sale...

    Very nice and a atuomatic to boot!:2tu: At the strip, on street tires, I almost always had a better reaction time and better 60' time compared to a manual trans car. But then again I'm no Ronnie Sox!:drive:

    Besides the set of K&Ns in my car, I have two other sets. I don't need a third set. If you want them make me an offer.
