    Winter mod list...

    Consider using the Moroso Spiral Flow stainless mufflers instead of a test pipe. I installed these on my RT/10 in place of the cats. NICE!!!

    Viper runs hot when sitting in traffic

    My 95 was doing the same thing following a coolant change. Burping alone rarely eliminates all of the air in the system. I suspect you still have air in the system. The "Wizard" (Chuck Tator) recommends carefully removing the heater hose connecting the thermostat to the heater control valve...

    Two Post Lift for long term storage?

    Anyone using a two post lift for storing their Viper during winter months? Thinking about adding a two post lift so that it would offer me the versatility of working on tires/brakes/suspension.

    Supercharged + Belanger + Catless + Borla XR-1, too loud?!

    I had Borla Headers and the same Roe exhaust setup on my Gen I (not supercharged), a bit loud and too much drone at highway speed, needed ear plugs on a long trip. I changed to the following: - kept Borla headers - deleted Roe HF cats and replaced with Moroso stainless spiral flow racing...

    Battery is located in the rear drivers side wheel well. You need to remove the rear drivers side wheel using a jack stand for safety. Then remove the rear portion access panel of the inner fender well, about 5-6 bolts to include the rear fascia bolts and two frame mount bolts. Not a...

    I have been using Valvoline synthetic power steering fluid for years. Use a turkey baster to remove the old fluid from the reservoir and replace with fresh fluid. Repeat this process after you have driven the car for a few miles 2-3 times and you will have replaced the majority of old fluid...
