California's new Exhaust law
As it should be generally known, California is a car culture in the extreme (Southern California, in particular). I think the exhaust law is more a function of the proliferation of extremely loud straight pipe running vehicles, ranging from tuners to pickup trucks. Thanks to youtube posts, a...- Solid Red 98

California's new Exhaust law
You are right, I'm just bummed that our cars may be ensnared in the net intended for these idiots running straight pipe on supercharged v8's of various ilk, and doing doughnuts and mashing on it at all hours of the day. In the end laws are passed because of unchecked bad behavior.- Solid Red 98

California's new Exhaust law
So..., California is at it again. Has anyone been hassled by cops for noise yet? I run a Corsa on my 98 and know that it is too loud for Laguna Seca, as well as the street, after Jan 1. Now frickin what? Between smog, front plates, pothole ridden roads, electric/hybrids cars, proliferation...- Solid Red 98

Drivers side door getting stuck open, forcing close creates loud pop
Ferret this problem out quickly, because it will soon snap the spring and gouge your plastic bezel ahead of the door. Mine snapped with no warning some time ago, and put a small mark on mine. Try to save it as hinges are expensive and hard to find. There was a how to article on how to fix a...- Solid Red 98

Clutch Pedal Lowering Link - Who has installed it?
I have installed the kit, and it does make a difference. The aluminum square-stock link is only slightly shorter than the original. If the existing one is in fact the same length, I would assume the mod was done by a previous owner. After the install, my clutch and brake pedal were roughly...- Solid Red 98

Anyone's Neighbors Ever Complain About Noise?
Perhaps you can have some custom removable exhaust tip baffles made up for cruising the hood--cheaper than other options. Remove them at the gas station. Jack-a$$ neighbors like that are one of the bummers associated with HOA developments. HOA=no sale for me; If I'm paying all the money to...- Solid Red 98

PLEASE HELP, Need answers.. new accident victom.
What a bummer....My advice to you is to: 1) Get your Viper fixed. 2) Get a fresh set of tires and/or wheels. 3) Drive it, look at it, drive it, look at it, and drive some more. Since it is no longer pristine, just drive out the pain and fill your soul with pleasure. My two cents.....- Solid Red 98

Aftermarket exhaust making the 02 viper louder!
Same setup here on my 98. The loud sounds you want, with out the nerve jangling drone that can literally loosen your fillings. After trying the Borla--which I did like, I went for a Corsa, which I love!- Solid Red 98

A little surprised ...but not really...
This thread may also have a regional component to it. Here in northern California, my GTS is a rockstar wherever it goes--especially at car shows. It gets enough attention that I almost get self-onscious while gridding up, making sure that my parking job is a single move affair, and...- Solid Red 98

1998 red gts for sale at vallery ford in ohio

Is anyone running BC Coil Overs?
What he said...In addition, after combining a proper alignment (a post installation imperative) and dialing in a ride height that splits the difference between good looks and cornering feel, my car inspires confidence that has removed much of the drama that the stockers produced. They have met...- Solid Red 98

Is anyone running BC Coil Overs?
They come with two wrenches: one for height and the other for spring preload. Dampening adjustment is located at the top of each shock. Corner balancing should be easy.- Solid Red 98
