    My viper conundrum

    Viper owner since 97. It's always mildly stressful. I try to park between cars that have parked properly and preferably back into an end spot (curb to the left or right). I NEVER park far away from other cars because that's what the have-nots love.

    Tom's 40mm rear caliper upgrade

    I've used Rick's 40mm upgrade and can certify that the braking distance definitely reduces. The front dive and locking up diminishes greatly and the car seems to almost feel like it has ABS under most common hard braking conditions. The rear never feels like it will swap ends with the front...

    Fixing Viper flaws II

    I am certain that there was no attention to detail when it came to the Viper excluding the motor and performance. There's way too many hacks and annoyances from simple things like 4 different types of fasteners to get to the battery or air conditioning controls that don't work as expected or...

    94 Viper starts, dies, but then starts and runs great

    I'd say check the plugs and/or wires first, throttle bodies next.

    Dump it or restore it (96 RT/10 Special Edition)

    I have been slowly refreshing all the suspension parts that wear out like bushings and ball joints. Getting my 97 ready for the next 20 years. Also plan on gaskets and seals as I go along. It's a journey.

    NEED HELP...Had an ACCIDENT

    I don't think Chuck does bodywork or painting. Look at reputable body shops locally. Check out the cleanliness, yes cleanliness, of their paint shop. A dirty paint shop will show up eventually in the paint. That's a beautiful car. Fight with the insurance company for the right shop. Visit local...

    Gen 2 rear ball joint replacement.

    I'm looking at replacing the old rear ball joints (both upper and lower) without having to purchase the control arms. I tried RockAuto and came up blank. Any options that do not involve Viper tax? I searched the forum but did not find a conclusive answer. I'm hoping someone has done this since...

    Gen 1 New Windshields

    I have a Gen 2 so this doesn't affect me but I'd like to point out that for cars that are 20+ years old, there will always be something that breaks. Today it is the windshield, then the headlight, then the tail light, etc. I don't see Dodge ponying up for a run of parts as it brings all the...
