    Exotics at RTC show (pics!)

    RTC being Redmond Town Center, east of Seattle. 7 Vipers caravaned up today to the informal weekend car show, and I snapped some pics: Steve's 09 Viper (you may have noticed it at the Chicago Auto Show): Up, down, up, down, up... Hmmm... The infamous "Sarah Palin...

    Prints on the Viper

    ...lip prints, that is. I had the car at work today (local university), and noticed this evening that some student (probably) had kissed my car at some point during the day, leaving behind a nice set of lip prints above the driver's door. In the 14 months I've owned the car, it's garnered a...

    LeMay car show 8/29...and I'm back!

    Anyone else going? Judging is limited to the first 120 registered cars, but the real reason I'm going is to get a look at the LeMay collection. Details here: LeMay Museum > 32nd Annual LeMay Car Show & Auction Secondly, I'm back to the Tacoma area for good after growing up here. Looking...

    GTS subwoofer fun - pics

    So, I replaced my factory subwoofers with Kicker 6.5" a few months ago, but wasn't satisfied with the sound they put out. After looking at pictures on this site and reading pretty much every thread on the topic, I decided to see if I could fit a 12" sub in the back of my GTS. Caveats: 1)keep...

    Poly engine mounts!

    Just got back from the first drive after installing Woodhouse mounts...wow! Installation is a pain (working on the garage floor with jackstands), but well worth it. I had to remove the mounts and brackets from the engine to get the upper nuts off. There was no way they were coming off with...

    Silicone hoses question

    I've already searched, and didn't find anything specifically addressing this. I have a JMB Performance airbox, and yesterday replaced my radiator hoses with Snake Oyl silicone hoses (02 GTS). The stock hose passed behind the airbox without touching it, but the silicone hose rests against the...

    Hemp in the Viper?

    So, apparently I'm bored today--enough to turn on MSNBC as background noise. However, I heard the words "Dodge" and "Viper" in a segment about the industrial uses of hemp in America (it's all imported from Canada b/c growing it here is illegal). Something in the interior is made of hemp, the...

    Airbag light came on with dash removal...

    Took my dash out, disconnected the window switches, defroster switch, etc. to do so. When I started the car to move it while everything was still disconnected, the airbag light came on, and no air is coming through the upper or lower dashboard vents (defroster vents near the windshield are...

    Aftermarket amplifier mounting

    I'm currently shopping for a new (more powerful) amplifier, and am curious as to how others who have replaced theirs mounted the new amp? Anyone rig something up that utilized the stock mounting bracket? Or did you drill holes in the panel behind the bracket (I'd like to find out if that's...

    Chicago Auto Show

    Got back a little while ago. I wasn't anticipating seeing more than one Viper (all they had last year), but they had three, including the Nurburgring ACR. The red coupe and orange convertible they were letting people sit in--the line for each was as long as that for the new Camaro, at least...

    Headlight switch bulb

    Anyone know if this is removable? I'm replacing all my dash lights with red bulbs, but I can't get the bulb out of the headlight switch (and I can't believe that if the bulb burnt out, I would have to buy a whole new headlight switch...).

    Oil question

    I've been reading threads recently on oils, notably Valvoline vs. Mobil and 0w-40 vs. 10w-30. Then I came across this article on motor oils: All About Motor Oil After reading through it, I have a question for the fluids gurus on here (F&L GoR?). Specifically, I am wondering about the...

    PSF=ATF?

    Just stopped by my local Dodge dealer to pick up some Mopar PSF "All Climate" and they gave me ATF+4 instead. They said it's the same stuff. Anyone know if this is true?

    Incandescent-free for one day so far...

    So, I finally got around to finishing my replacement of all bulbs (except dash lights) with LEDs (because I'm so Euro-trashy...). I did run into some fitment issues with a few of the bulbs, most notably the dome lights and front side markers, so I thought I'd post what I used here in case...

    JMB intake installed

    So, I splurged on my birthday present to myself this year and bought a custom-painted intake from JMB Performance. Installation couldn't have been simpler, the front of the engine bay looks great, and my wallet is a little thinner now...but I would do it again in a heartbeat...

    HID headlight/LED parking install

    Just finished installing HID lights in both low beams and foglights on my '02 GTS. I searched the VCA forums before I started, and encountered many threads that advised changing the polarity of the wires leading to the bulbs if they won't light. Well, when I installed the kit for the lowbeams...
