    replacement radiator alternatives?

    I have been running the X2 Builders radiator for the past four years with no problems.

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

    When I had this issue it was the security system. The security system in a Gen 1 isn't a hard cutoff, it lets it run for a few seconds and then shuts off. I had to replace the control module, and it was fine after that.

    Mouse nest in engine :-(

    Adding a note in case anyone is interested- there are metal cross-braces in between the cylinder banks, each about 2" high, that will trap water in there if you try and flush it out with water. My aforementioned shop-vac hack worked well to get most of it, then the compressed air hose at the...

    Starter turning over but won't start.

    When you say doesn't start, does it run for a few seconds and then shut off?

    Mouse nest in engine :-(

    Ended up attaching a paper towel roll tube to the end of my shop vac. The cardboard tube was stiff enough to hold its shape, yet pliable enough to get in between the manifold pipes. She's all clean now, and will get a checkup at the mechanic to make sure no rubber was nibbled.

    Mouse nest in engine :-(

    Well for the first time in over a decade of winter storage, a mouse (or several) got past my defenses and set up shop in my engine ('94). The area in between my cylinder banks is now chock full of stuff (mostly acorn husks) and the giveaway droppings on either side. It's about 2" deep the...

    Because this is a message board the purpose of which is to digitally share information among a group of people? While I very much appreciate your long time contributions to the community, if every thread on this board was solved by a phone call and the actual solution not shared, well, that's...

    1993 #/$ Alarm

    I had alarm problems with my '94, dealer replaced the control unit and everything was fine after that. Would someone mind sharing what the wisdom Steve imparted was?

    GENI & II OEM "like" Radiator Replacement Option

    Last question, did you get new hoses as well?

    GENI & II OEM "like" Radiator Replacement Option

    Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like X2 has worked out their kinks to the point of being viable so I will give them a try. Is your upper close comfortably clear of the hinge? Did your original fan work?

    Gen 1 Alarm Problem.

    Mine was acting up like this, eventually it would refuse to start even after unlocking with the FOB. Ended up needing a new control unit, that was 10 years ago and haven't had a problem since.

    Tires??? Where can I find Pilot Super Sports?

    The R888s are for dry warm weather only. While they do just qualify as street legal, they are designed to be a track tire. That said, I am running them because I only drive my car on warm dry days.

    GENI & II OEM "like" Radiator Replacement Option

    Alright so I unfortunately find myself in need of a new radiator for my Gen 1. Reading through this whole thread, it seems like no one is really happy with their X2, aluminum replacements are expensive and have their own issues... I also don't know of any good radiator shops around here...

    Any interest in OE Michelin's for Gen 1 and 2 (17 & 18in)?

    *********. I just bought the Toyos because they were the closest thing to a street tire that TireRack listed for Gen 2 18" Vipers. Would have much rather had the BFG Rivals for the same money.
