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

    Yes, kind of looks like it ended up with a pole embedded in front of the right side door. I just looked at several other sad Vipers on the site that came from. Makes me wonder how many Vipers per week are put up for salvage auction/sale across the country to be rebuilt or parted out.

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    Sounds like you have constructed a rig like the funnel thing that I mentioned in my first post. What my system did after a drain and refill was expand the coolant into the funnel as it got hot, until the thermostat opened, then it went back into the tank as it purged air, and I kept it filled to...

    Handbrake has just snapped. Any ideas what has gone?

    When you remove that console piece that you rest your arm on, it exposes the top of the frame center section. There is a boxed in cavity that is open to view only from the top, where you will see the two cables come in from the exterior and go to an adapter to one cable to the handbrake...

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    I think that is normal to have a spring in there. (A quick search seems to confirm.)

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    OK. Given the symptoms that are now appearing. Are you sure that it is overheating? Is the gauge reading correctly? Is the sender working correctly? Is the sender very hot? How cold is the ambient temperature? Seems like you are Canadian; so, it could be very cold ambient temperature. Could...

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    Since you mention running Radweld stop leak in the system; let me ask if you have flushed the system since then ? Maybe something is clogged up now. Did you replace the thermostat before or after the Radweld? That would be a "pinch" point for material to clog at. Also, I can picture that...

    Handbrake has just snapped. Any ideas what has gone?

    By the way, you will see that there is a 2-into-1 assembly for the cables in the cavity underneath that console. From there back to the ebrake handle is your target.

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    Definitely not stock; but, it is a common attempt at improving the cooling in a Viper. The only other thing that I can think of for you to try is the procedure in the service manual of removing the cooling system bleed plug from thermo-stat housing while filling while cold. That lets air out...

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    Ooops, I missed that. So, none of the early Viper tricks needed. What you are doing "should" work, I think. The point of the funnel that I referred to is that it gets installed in place of the cap and it lets the expanding coolant expand into the funnel and be drawn back from the funnel so...

    Bleeding Coolant troubles. What is the point of the fender coolant bottle?

    Like Frank asked, year does matter, so, let us know. The very early Vipers had a unique burping procedure, I think; but I don't know it. One problem that has been reported is a non-tight connection of the hose between the expansion tank and the overflow bottle. When the system cools, you want...

    Air Suspension

    I have not read on the forums of anyone doing air ride suspension. Many people do want to lower the car and have issues with challenging driveways; but, I don't remember any going with an air ride suspension. There is a lot of engineering that goes into suspension design with regards to ride...

    Thoughts on painting the underside of front bumper

    I can't picture any type of clear bra that would stand up to the scrapes that the underside of the bumper would be subject to.

    77 Vipers

    That one is easy. VIPER stands for: American Power, Individualism, Speed, Beauty, and Creativity !!!! APISBC was determined to be too hard to pronounce as a car name though, so they went with VIPER. :headbang:

    Road Courses in Souther Cali

    Chuckwalla Valley Raceway is in Desert Center, CA is about the same distance as Willow Springs (Rosamond CA). The Viper guys like WSR because it lets them get a lot of speed. CSR is a fairly new track. It is in the middle of nowhere; but, it is a nice layout although it has lots more turns...

    My viper was keyed very bad "graphic pictures "

    I think that from a resale standpoint, having the car painted at Prefix would be a plus. At least if it was a private sale vs. a trade-in. Of course, if it is done by a well known local company and documented, it should be fine also.

    Shifter doesn't center

    I didn't have the problem you are having; but, I wanted my B&M shifter to have more centering force left-to-right than it had out of the box. I removed the spring that controlled this movement, and went to Ace Hardware and found a similar diameter spring that appeared like it might be stiffer...

    Lowered by 2"

    Nope ! There is a very active owner out here in that age range who is very fast on the track. Of course he has been doing it for a long time. I can't remember if he had said that he raced professionally at one time.

    My viper was keyed very bad "graphic pictures "

    Sounds like it to me. That would strike me as being much better to swallow than it being directed toward a lifestyle choice or economic status of the car's owner. This makes it more like a random tornado hit it.

    Yes, those are the words that caught my attention after looking more closely. Hopefully that would have induced the police department to to investigate seriously.
