    LOL ! How this thread went from a guy happy to have a new turbo kit to a post about the difference in gayness of the VOA and VCA !

    Turbo kit RSI

    LOL, DJV at your last post !!! I recognize a "warm" welcome from the VCA forum regulars when I read it. bmv: Ignore them. There are plenty of welcoming people here at the VCA forum. Like DJV said, though, the vendor's actions have invited reasonable skepticism; but, in many people...

    Temperature sensor problems

    If you take a look at the factory service manual, you will find that the engine temperature sensor provides input to 3 different items on 3 wires coming from the sensor (plus there's a ground wire.) It feeds the gauge, the warning light, and the ECU/PCM. The way it is drawn in the schematic...

    Looking at a 1997 GTS in Houston

    This is why "low mile" Vipers are not necessarily a better deal than nicely used and maintained Vipers.

    My viper was keyed very bad "graphic pictures "

    I'm thinking that there is a market for a car alarm system that employs about 20 Taser modules.

    2006 Viper with 12500 miles purchased, what maintenance should I have done?

    I like the fact that Mobil 1 publishes their Zinc/Phosphorus levels and their 15W-50 is one of the highest ( as is their 0W-40 formulation). https://mobiloil.com/~/media/amer/us/pvl/files/pdfs/mobil-1-oil-product-specs-guide.ashx

    Carbon fiber hood

    I've never heard of them so I did a search. Interesting. They have the same address as Vivid Racing, which seems to be a well capitalized company, and carries their product in the VR catalog. I wonder if both companies are owned by the same folks. That would be a good sign.

    Bought a Vette

    You need to get checked for cataracts, LOL ! (Same age, here. Damned chassis age doesn't match mental age, either)

    Real viper prices

    The only thing that I see out of the ordinary are 2 parallel scrathes/grooves and what appears to be excess epoxy or bondo filling in the bottom of the water catch basin on the wheel well liner. Maybe a sign of a poor patch of some kind of incident in the car's 15 year history. I wouldn't...

    Noise from 125 mhp

    That sounds like a very likely cause. Or flat-spotted due to a panic stop. (If you don't know their history.)

    Unfortunately, that's what happens when they hit their 60s. You need a younger GF !

    Purchased my first viper and the dealer sold me a blown motor

    Is "what?" something you are going to have to get used to? Blowing up a motor? Depends on how you drive or what the service history is of the cars you buy. It is pretty unusual for a Viper. So, you believe that the dealer knowingly sold you a car with a bad motor? I wouldn't be surprised...

    Valuation: 2014 Viper GTS, all white, black interior, Black wheels, 3500 miles...

    I don't think that your financing idea will be much of an attraction. I had never heard of such a thing before and never would consider it. I don't picture prospective buyers as being folks that would be interested in that financing and titling arrangement. As to value, the buyer wannabees...

    Finally ready to buy a Viper, have a few questions though.

    One could also get a quick release hub to get the steering wheel out of the way when getting in and out. Pretty typical for cars with high sided race seats or roll cages. Some would say that you lose a lot of safety by removing the airbag. Others contend that the airbag is not necessary if...

    Carbon valve covers are almost done

    Picture doesn't show up. I'm assuming that these are replacement for the OE covers that mount over the valve covers?

    Finally ready to buy a Viper, have a few questions though.

    FYI. Here is an interview with Dick Winkles, one of the original engineers on the program, talking about the myth that the Viper uses Dodge's truck engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGDdBFbikUQ&feature=youtu.be&t=225

    What is this plug/bolt for?

    Yes, the plastic looking plug is for accessing the fluid. Oil level should be about 1/4 inch below the plug opening. http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/659436-Differential-oil-change...

    Thinking about purchasing a rebuilt title 2006 Viper, what do you think?

    I'd suggest getting that toe link support even if they don't see a crack. There are two photos along with the product that show a broken one. It may be too hard to see. There are folks on the forum that think there have been failures without even any incident having happened. I doubt that...

    Thinking about purchasing a rebuilt title 2006 Viper, what do you think?

    LOL! Too true. The inspector reports he rode in the car with the seller driving. I guess your friend is saying that the inspector forgot to mention that it was on the end of a tow rope. The thing that would concern me is that the inspection wasn't done by a respected body shop. One of the...

    Calling all viper owners who can help??????

    The problem is that you are virtually an unknown person to us. The only reason that many of us might have sympathy for you is if we knew you as a regular guy like us. I'm guessing that 99+% of us don't know someone that can move 4 pounds of cocaine, so, we can't relate. Nowadays many of us do...

    Calling all viper owners who can help??????

    I won't sit in judgement on what happened. Impossible to know what the facts are when sitting at this end of the internet. Although I am in the pool of potential buyers, it isn't the color I would settle for; but, it is a great looking color. Did you have your hatch defect fixed to the...
