Gen. 2 Head gasket time
Correct, billet power steering pulley (fixed) and bracket. I was also looking at the billet water pump impeller, and belt tensioner pulleys. I haven't noticed a loss of coolant yet, but I haven't really run the engine much since I first saw the smoke. I'll look into a leakdown test, and at...- bloose

Gen. 2 Head gasket time
I have a 2001 GTS with about 30k miles. A few weeks ago I noticed fair amount of smoke primarily coming out of passenger side exhaust pipe. I'm also now seeing some "s t e a m y" grey/white smoke coming out of the passenger side of the hood. I say "s t e a m y" because it's not thick white...- bloose

OEM Sway Bar End Link Rebuild (w/ Pics)
I just did this same rear sway bar end link replacement over the weekend using the new Moog parts, but on a Gen. II ACR. The nuts provided with the Moog links were quite a bit different than the originals, and seemed very difficult to turn, perhaps because of the black paint on the new link...- bloose

Front Shock Options
While I'm not sure what damper you would have installed on that particular Gen III model, I saw some discussion about Dynamics. If that's what you need rebuilt, I had my 2001 ACR Dynamics dampers rebuilt by: Ryan Howell Carl A. Haas Automobile Imports, Inc. 500 Tower Parkway Lincolnshire, IL...- bloose

Dave's Big Brake Upgrade
I was probably one of the last people to buy the kit from Dave before he passed. Fantastic person. Similar kits are available here if you haven't already located one. Viper Parts Depot - Big Brake Caliper upgrade. I can probably answer any questions you might have about performing this upgrade.- bloose

Help Me ID a 2001 ACR
I believe a 2001 should have blue and gold Dynamics shocks with a resevoire on the side with 2 adjustment knobs, as well as adjustable height. I think only the 2000 model years switched over from Koni to Dynamics in the middle of the production year. I think all 99's had Koni.- bloose

Daves Big Brake Kit
I'll be happy to send you pics of mine as well. There are a couple of areas where you can freelance, particularly with routing of ebrake cable, wheel speed sensors wires, and position of zip ties holding each of these, as well as the new stainless brake lines. PM me as well with any questions.- bloose

Track Day Insurance Coverage
Thanks for all the replies. I've been in contact with Steve and will most likely use him to insure the car, but I'm still a little concerned about the liability aspect which Steve doesn't handle.- bloose

Track Day Insurance Coverage
During a recent review of my insurance policies I've found out that my carrier, State Farm, has no policy of any kind that will cover my vehicle, or me personally from a liability perspective if I am on a track at a "driving school" such as Viper Days.:dunno: Anyone have any recommendations...- bloose

Gas Pedal fell off!
Must be the Michigan roads :rolaugh:. I had the same thing happen a year or two ago. I took a look at the same pieces you mentioned, then stuffed them in the "glove box" rather than spend 45min upside down in the foot well. I find the metal bar left behind allows for much better pedal feel so I...- bloose
