    New Product for Dave's Big Brakes

    Dave, I've got Purner classics (18 inch) on my 1996 RT (it has the Gen 2 suspension and brakes)... Do I need the OEM kit spacers? Lance

    Looking for a Gen 1 Viper (Newbie)

    Well why don't you tell us where you are located.. and then what radius of miles you are willing to travel.... folks keep throwing vehicles out there and your response always seems to be... "too far". Where in the world are you?!

    What's my 97 B/W GTS worth?

    How difficult is it to remove the wing? Did you have to drill into the body panels? Lance

    So what's the percentage?

    I don't want to be a party-pooper.. but I thought the club was marginally worthwhile. I bought my Viper used.. and sent in my $100 immediately.. took three months to get the registration completed... I never have received all the magazines that I was supposed to.. when I moved to Ohio.. it took...

    315 vs 295 vs 285 front tires

    I do not believe so... when I ordered my wheels from Purner, he sold me 11 inch fronts..... actually, I don't think I can go below 305's.. or maybe 295's....

    315 vs 295 vs 285 front tires

    I have 315's on the front of my daily driver RT/10. They do follow every rut in the road, but it's not really any more significant than the 275's on the front. I have no rubbing.... no issues at all.

    Issues with '96 RT's?

    Wondering about the headgasket problem?

    Well... I'm no Ab....(I wouldn't touch that awesome Lamborghini write up) but I can rebuild an engine...my issue is the gasket set cost!!!! If I could obtain a reasonably priced gasket set, I could easily change out the head gaskets... heck I'd probably have done some headwork if the gaskets...

    Where can I run amp wiring from the trunk?

    Did you complete this install? I have the interior out of my 1996... and want to install a new stereo. I have not even looked at stereo equipment for 15 years... and quite frankly I went to a stereo shop and they scared me with a price of $3100!!!!! I think I want to replace the amps... and...

    Gen 2 hood on my Gen 1.... bad idea?

    It doesn't require any real modification to the car.... it's a bolt on proposition. So do it.. as long as you keep your original hood it can be changed back quickly and easily. I'd do it... if I found a great deal on a clean, unrepaired, undamaged Gen 2 hood... I'd do it to my 1996 RT.

    Wondering about the headgasket problem?

    So my question is... if I my engine was pulled out and sent off to Arrow... for the head gasket problem... were metal gaskets installed or the old fiber gaskets? This work was done in 2003..... about 13,000 miles ago. The reason I ask is from time to time... especially on a hot day... when I...

    Paint is finally going on......

    Did you use the original Gen 1 door latch "strikers".. or did you have to install from a Gen 2?

    Paint is finally going on......

    Ed, Sounds like you are indicating that Gen 2 doors on a Gen 1 can be a "bolt on" proposition. I have opined this for the years I have owned my Gen 1... but everyone says no way. The only.. .and I do mean ONLY... thing I do not like about my 1996 RT is the lack of roll up windows. If I could...

    Need to stay dry!

    I just realized I was not very clear... the top does leak in about four places..... but it's mostly around the windows. The 3 piece top is great , looks great, is easy to take off an install.... I just don't think I have the weatherstripping right.... Jeff is great to work with too! Lance

    Need to stay dry!

    Tom, The plug you reference.. is that on the OEM canvass window?? Or the door itself? Also, have you added or replaced any weatherstripping where the door seals against the door opening? I am pulling out the carpet to completely dry the interior... I'd like to find these leaks so I don't...

    Paint is finally going on......

    Could you have installed the Gen 2 doors without changing the windshiled surround? What did you do about the latches on the door jamb?

    Need to stay dry!

    Thank you for the suggestions. Since moving to Texas... I've started driving my RT as my daily driver... I have contemplated selling my 1996 and buying a Gen 2... but I really like my Gen 1... I've got to figure this out so I don't have to sell it!

    Need to stay dry!

    So how can I make my 1996 RT more water resistant? I am driving it every day now... and I have the three-piece trunktop. It leaks like crazy!!! I know.. if you want to be comfortable ... buy a corvette.. but I want to keep my Viper.... but I can't keep spending a day drying it out after an...

    Moving to Dayton, OH...

    I moved from Ohio last summer.... yes they require front plates, no I did not ever install my front plate... I never did get a ticket for no front plate. The driving season is so short though... that with work travel I didn't put more than 2,000 miles on the Viper in the two years I lived in...
