    Caliper install Qs

    Thanks Tom I'm assuming that based on the various size Crush washers I found online there is an "exact" size which "should" be used. Trying to use a thicker washer will result in the banjo bolt not grabbing many threads in the rear calipers. Fortunately my local Dodge Dealer had 7 in stock at...

    Front Facia Push Retainer part# needed

    fastenal has them in stock at most locations along with several other odds and ends for the viper. Automotive Specific Fasteners | Fastenal I believe its a ford part and you can also get the dorman version from any help section. I went back in with rivet nuts after the 3rd time I removed my...

    Caliper install Qs

    I figured out all my questions and have since installed the new calipers and stainless lines. My question should have read pipe compound/dope instead of thread locker. The OEM bleeders had nothing on them and all the aftermarket options that I looked into had compound on the threads.

    Caliper install Qs

    Installing a set of powder coated calipers and SS line. What type of thread locker if any should be used on the bleeder valves. As pointed out in PM not really thread lock. I only ask because it appears the speed bleeders have some sort of red compound on them when viewed online. These are...

    Wash Brushes

    don't have any exp with a boars hair brush. I still use Superior bilt grout sponges from home depot and Ive had excellent luck with them. For $70 I could almost buy 50 sponges. I rotate them from finish to tire/wheel well when they start to look worn.

    ACR/ACR-X/Rogue Status Viper

    hes 22 obviously he stole the car. That car if memory serves me was that low when I saw it at the Texas mile in October so I don't believe the stance is P shopped. I could be wrong, it happens at least once a year.

    Favorite Rim detailer?

    Iforged full polish here as well. I thoroughly spray the wheels during wash and only touch them with the same type of sponge and MF I use on my paint. Once a month I break out the mothers billet polish. I use a latex gloved finger to wipe and polish until black. I then use brake parts...

    Body repair hours help

    Thanks Dave The shop that I took the car to is very familiar with vipers, the owner has two of them. They have never done a QP and their RI time is higher than than my insurance appraisal, obviously the appraiser works for the insurance company. I simply want to make sure that Im as accurate...

    Body repair hours help

    For those who have done this I'm looking for a little assistance. My insurance company is quoting 15 hours labor for RI on a passengers side quarter panel and 6 hours paint. To get the QP off both rear wheels, the battery cover and wheel liner of the passenger side have to be removed. Is 15...

    I don't get it.

    Actually the reason this discussion probably came about is my fault so blame me. I was discussing the sneaky pete logo with Jason last week and talking about how it needs a makeover. My car turned to crap on 11-20 when another viper owner decided to swerve into my lane and hit me, cracking...

    I don't get it.

    The sneaky Pete logo was so iconic that it was changed? Freaking metal bands that cut all their hair off just because, oh wait there is a reason for it. Why would anyone buy a viper built with no stripes then add them. Hell why would anyone put a power adder on a car that was "perfect" as...

    Need Your Detailing Opinions

    200mph viper?

    I think its safe to say that unless Matt has a tail that he uses to hold his camera, one hand was on the wheel and the other shifting. That would mean he had a camera person filming. Not to take anything away from people with tails, Id kill to have one. That didn't look like a public street...

    Need help adjusting the hood!

    I had my fascia off last year for a re paint and it went back on with no issues. I also had the hood off later that year to do the timing chain cover gasket. It was removed from the arms which were left in place. All lined up well but lately I have noticed more of a gap above my passenger HL...

    Mityvac by Dave - what I got and how I use it

    Great job as usual Dave, I use the heck out of my mighty vac. Maybe the VCA can host the pics vs users side. I have noticed that a few of the pic in the illustrated section are gone, kinda pointless to have a walk through with no pics.
