    How hard is it to change plug wires on a Gen II?

    Depends how big your forearms are. Have someone with skinny arms handy to put the plugs on the coils - makes the job much easier ;)

    Ok, who can recommend a shop here in the bay area that can mount/balance a 335 tire?

    Uppity Supercharged Vipers!!!

    I'll bite. Is there a point? These S/C cars are already tough to dyno, as they're breaking traction on the drum. They're even tougher to get down the 1/4 because they can't put the power down. Ben even posted the videos where his 'de-tuned' 800 HP version ran a faster time than his full-tune...

    Polished Valve Covers for your Snake

    Right. If you really want to complete the look, you can either go with the overlays, or go soup-to-nuts and talk to Bill at Apex Motorsports. He's now selling CNC'd aluminum valve covers. You can even get whatever you want milled in the top of them. I've seen them in person, and they are sweeeeeet.

    99 ACR owners

    Did you ever get this? I have them that someone here faxed me a long time back. I should convert the info into HTML and just post it up here on the site. This comes up every so often.

    Driver's Outside Mirror Glitch

    Re: Driver\'s Outside Mirror Glitch Happens all the time - it moves when you shut the door. My cockpit routine is: - key on, fuel pump - open accusump - seatbelt - adjust mirror - start car Just one of those things.

    hanging idle . .what gives

    Its common. My '99 will hang on rare occasion - and I don't have any add-ons - which seem to exacerbate the problem. It can be caused by different issues though. Call and talk to Wayne at Apex. He and I were talking a while ago and he told me this problem appears with various cam...

    Dealer Crashes Viper & Wants CUSTOMER To Pay!

    SHEEZ! Makes me darn glad we have the excellent 5-star dealer we have here in San Jose. A friend of mine had his Viper in for the recall work, and someone damaged his driver's door while it was there. The dealer repaired the door, repainted everything to make sure it would match (96 white -...

    Brake upgrade on non abs car of little value?

    You were basically telling monnieh that a brake upgrade won't help him stop any quicker (at least thats how I read it) and that is not true. The brake upgrades available use different piston sizes to modify the front-rear brake bias. By getting the rears to do more work, the car stops faster...

    Brake upgrade on non abs car of little value?

    I think what Dean is trying to say (albeit succinctly) is that neither of you have it quite right. Monnieh, why do you think a brake upgrade on an ABS car is somehow more effective than on a non-ABS car? All ABS does is keep the wheel from locking up - you can do the same thing yourself with a...
