    1997 Viper GTS Hood Question

    You have to replace the springs. I had it done in my 97 quite a few years ago. You might have a hard time finding them. Try Partsrack

    How-to-Guide on StopTech SS Brake line Install Guide?

    My mechanic did the install on my 2010 ACR. I think I remember that the bags were mislabeled backwards. Meaning Right was in Left bag and Left was in Right bag. And I remember he had to bend some metal tab slightly. Sorry I can't be more help.

    2006 Viper with 12500 miles purchased, what maintenance should I have done?

    I have also replaced the hatch struts a couple of times when they felt weak.

    You can change the power steering fluid also. And the air filter. Since you don't know the history, I would change every fluid. It is not cheap, but at least you will have a baseline. I have had 3 used Vipers, and I change everything each time.

    Finally ready to buy a Viper, have a few questions though.

    There was no GTS in Gen 1. It started in Gen 2 in 1996. I am 6 ft and with a helmet in my 1997 GTS it was a little tight. The top of the helmet would touch the roof. The GTS roof has bubbles above the two seats that helps some, but you might be too tall to fit. Get a helmet and sit in one to...

    2010 ACR Coolant Change

    While you are under there, you might also want to trim away some of underbody aero that slightly blocks access to the frame tie down holes. I used a grinder to free up room in that trim panel so that I could use r hooks to tie down the car in a trailer.

    1996 GTS Oil Pan Upgrade

    Check this old thread. Not my post, but on my 97 I upgraded to a newer, deeper oil pan, and added the windage and baffle kit. I think the pan was from 2000, but am not sure. http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/604150-Oil-Pan-Baffle-install

    Changing Brakes (Rear) on Gen 2s

    I saw a viper tech use a socket that he ground down to make the little exposed pins out of the socket wall that was left.. He made his own tool.

    Hoosier R6 looses traction at the track

    I ran those on 17/17 on my gen 2. Once I got them warmed up, they were awesome. If you are not getting them warm, they are loose. You might need to adjust tire pressure to force them hot sooner. I used to also swing left/right on the warm up lap to use the friction to create heat.
