    94 Viper Paint Changed from Viper Red to Orange over the summer and tiny paint blisters everywhere

    Quick loss of ac refrigerant with my 1994 rt/10

    Ever touch the compressor while it's running? It's hotter than any exhaust pipe you'll brush against. Statistically, the o-rings at the compressor are the ones most likely to fail due to the heat. May I suggest you replace those (yes, remove the hoses, replace the little green o-rings...

    Is anyone running the ACR oil filter adapter on a Gen 2.

    Surging at low speed (under specific instance)...anyone else have this?

    Adjust the two throttle bodies so you are sure the driver side opens first. Only the driver's side has the throttle position sensor. If the passenger side opens first or passes more air, then the PCM can't figure out fuel rate or use of of the idle air control valve properly. It bucks like...

    Sorry, they must have gone with the Gen 1 trade-in.

    Looking for part for side windows

    Same total length but no threads near end. I'll go look for them.

    Looking for part for side windows

    I think I have two, but if I do, I had removed the threads (now a thinner shaft) so it needs fewer revolutions to tighten. The cut end is therefore shiny, not black.

    I can vouch for Zeckhausen, I got seals for the 40mm rear Brembos from them.

    Supercharged v-10!

    Bob, I'm just an engineer but have seen crazy marketing at work.Agree with #1 but could just be dyno + gasket supplier exercise.#2 is only for track rats and not needed for marketing.#3... see #2#4 emasculate via ECU so full torque not available at 0 MPH (as per my Daimler Charger)#5 Stop tech...
