    My viper failed smog!!!

    GOOD NEWS. After about 250 miles, now that I turn on the Acc, the engine light does not flash after 14 seconds anymore. It stays lit....that means that the test by OBDii has completed. That mostly means that I will pass smog then. Will keep you all posted.

    My viper failed smog!!!

    Now you all have me losing sleep now. I am worried now. Any chance it WON'T pass smog in CA? What happens if it fails again next week?

    Sound system diagram?

    Hey Madman, I saw you again today in your viper! Sunday around 5:00 by the Country Club. I was in the Black Pilot behind you before you turned into Thornton.

    Sound system diagram?

    Well, at least we know it's not the RB1 that died....and it's just electrical. This may be a dumb question, but you were at it all day yesterday, did you turn the ignition key on? By the way, thanks for helping shorten the shifter. It's much better now.

    well the smog guys are my friends. They showed me the test.... I did not look at it much, but some of the emmisions were result were an incredible "zero"....they were saying how clean this car's emmision was.

    My viper failed smog!!!

    Light still flashing. So how long or many miles will it take for the learning process? I've driven more than 100 miles in 1 week already, however, the longest drive was about 20 miles. Most of the driving was very "spirited" up to a slow 110 miles. :smirk:

    RB1 navigation installed

    Ahhhh, wheel Tech, wasn't it use to be Wheel Technic? I had my nsx rims polished there, and it was a superb job. I will do that. How much can it possibly be for one rim, a couple hundred at most, right? I feel better now. Thanks, Dave!

    My viper failed smog!!!

    Because I purchased this car out of state, the state of CA required that a smog check be done. The test came back very very clean, but I FAILED. The reason? Well, before I had it shipped back here, it was in the dealer to have some recalls done and to fix the AC unit that died when the...

    RB1 navigation installed

    I have to say that after the install of the RB1 navigation, my personal opinion is that the interior look MUCH more upscale. I really did notlike the oem head unit. Also, like everyone says, the sound is more powerful somehow. I will be replacing the speakers this week-end. The navigation is...

    Final questions before purchase, hopefully...

    Skip Barber School of Racing taught me: When in doubt, both feet off....the pedals that is.....It is just so natural to slam on the brakes when things go wrong, and it may just be the worse thing to do. :eek:

    I feel like I am too short in the viper

    Hi Paul, I guess I shouldn't be complaining huh? I can fix my problems with a pillow. You can't sit any lower. :D I wonder why we did not get power seats. I know the philosophy is back to basics, power, and weight savings in this car, but......we got POWER pedal adjusters....What the...

    My Viper is HERE!!!! FINALLY!!!!

    THe challenge of ingress and egress, you are right, Alice, even with short people like me, I still grunt getting in and out. My 75 year old father had to be helped getting out of the car after a test ride. My car is red. I am still enjoying it...no plans on options yet, except for maybe...
