    Quietest 3" exhaust?

    Hmm, that's pretty interesting and seems like it would be easy enough to possibly put in a tip. May have to look into that one some more. I'm also curious about the American Racing mufflers. I'm just very wary of cats at this point with my new cam. When I put cats back on my 2.5" system...

    Personalizing my '05

    What model of radio is that? I don't think I've ever seen one that's quite that size before, so curious to see what the unit looks like uninstalled.

    Intermittent coolant temp.

    What year is your car? Thinking the gauge probably has a power and ground connection as well, so I would guess that one might be flakey, but hard to say without knowing what vintage it is. The gen 3+ stuff has all those gauges in a single assembly, so I would expect them all to be doing funny...

    GEN 1 squeaky slave cylinder.

    I'd see if you can isolate where the sound it coming from first. I could see the pedal potentially being squeaky if the bushing is wearing out, but I would think that might do it regardless of whether it's warm or hot. I know on my mom's 94 the clutch pedal pivot rides on a plastic bushing...

    Quietest 3" exhaust?

    Hmm, interesting. I was thinking I had seen some kind of insert in the past as well, almost like a trumpet mute if that makes any sense. The tips on the race mufflers are pretty short and have an angle bent and a slant cut on them, so might be interesting to get anything in there that I...

    Oil pressure sending switch

    I don't think it would flat out prevent it, but it might make it run rough. I thought this happened to me on my gen 3 once (well, a bad sensor at least). I have replaced the sensor once because it started failing and reading 25 psi with the key on and engine not running. Once day my mom...

    Oil pressure rise time at start

    All good, I appreciate any data points and feedback I can get. Thanks! I'll have to see about getting a mechanical gauge on it one of these days.

    Quietest 3" exhaust?

    So this will probably sound silly to a lot of people, but what's the quietest 3" exhaust out there? I recently swapped out my 2.5" Borla system for a 3" Mopar race system as my new cam didn't like the 2.5" setup all that much. I loved the tone of the Borla setup, which is why I went with the...

    Oil pressure rise time at start

    How long does it take your gen 4 to register oil pressure on a cold start? I'm wondering if it's just a swinging pickup thing, or maybe the new pump I put in.

    Oil pressure rise time at start

    So I recently finished my rebuild after shattering a rod in my 04 at my last track outing and this time around I went full in on the oil system upgrades. I've got a gen 4 pan with swinging pickup, the Prefix oil pump upgrade (30% more flow), the gen 4/5 style PRV that Prefix also sells as a...

    2006 coupe trying to install aldan rear shocks but cannot screw the aldan rear shock into the fork the threads are wrong

    Chasing the threads sounds like a good idea. Might be difficult as I'm guessing they are quite large and who knows if they are some kind of standard (I would hope so, as it would require custom tooling otherwise). Driveshaft yoke bolts are the same way. They get a lot of threadlocker buildup...

    Gen 3 Clouded Fog Lamps

    Hmm, interesting. I believe the design is a replaceable bulb, but I think the lens is also glass, so wouldn't think it would fog/deteriorate on the outside. Not that you can't still polish them, but I'm leaning toward some kind of buildup on the inside. That being said, I would still think...

    The Vegas Vacation Viper on Ebay!

    Always cool to hear the stories from the people that lived them! Guessing you have plenty of other fun stories being an Indycar team owner.

    XM Radio in all Gen 4 cars?

    I just put an RB1 in my car a while back. It doesn't have Sirius directly, but it can be added through an external module I believe. There is an AUX input that I believe there was a Sirius module that would plug into it, but finding one of those might be interesting.

    Front Chin bumper scraping problem

    There are a few out there now. MCS is maybe one of the better **** for the buck ones out there (the former Moton people started the company), but they are still pricey and I'm not actually sure if they make gen 1/2 stuff or not. I think Aldan is one of the more affordable options if you are...

    Battery maintainer/tender?

    I've used some basic Schumacher units for years. I think my dad got them at Walmart or something. They seem to work okay as far as I know, but they are only maintainers, they don't have any large charge capacity or anything like that. The older ones are switchable between 6V and 12V, but the...

    Suggestion for cam?

    Okay, I'll have to think about that one. I suppose it's entirely possible I just didn't get the cam timed right as well, but I know I checked it several times and am fairly sure I got it as close as I could with the offset keys at my disposal. I know a real adjustable timing gear is the better...

    Airbag light wont turn off

    What gen? And I'm guessing you have no factory seat belts at all now? On my gen 3 I just made a dummy buckle that I plug in to turn off the seatbelt light, but I think the only airbag light I have is the passenger one that you can turn on and off inside the center arm rest storage compartment...

    Progress on diagnostics on sketchy pete

    Here's part of the coil circuit: Looks like you should have power from the ASD and the PCM then grounds things to fire a pair of cylinders (wasted spark). I think the ASD should show power with just key on. Coils are the same kind of setup: S137 is a splice that comes from the ASD relay as...

    Screw cover needed

    Yeah, I think you're going to have a mighty hard time finding that part individually. It may have had a part number, but guessing it was probably never individually available, but rather sold with the whole door panel. 3D print isn't a bad idea, though getting the finish right would be the...

    Radar Detectors & Laser Jammers

    It's been a while since I've read up on them, but I thought the Valentine One was still considered one of the better ones. My dad had one briefly, but I never really used one myself.

    Strange engine dis-coloration on pre-purchase inspection

    The intake is a slightly different finish to the throttle body from the factory, so that could explain a little of the difference. Though it does look like there are still some speckled on the first set of runners. Is this a coastal car or something? Looks kind of like salt deposits or...

    New Viper owner wheel question

    18" rims should be fine. A lot of people put gen 3 rims on a gen 1 or 2 and the gen 3 setup is an 18/19 stagger front to rear. Tire availability in the 17" range is getting more and more limited, so makes sense.

    Suggestion for cam?

    Yeah, I read comments all the time of people saying "it drives just like stock, but with way more power". I don't know how those people drive their cars, but I'd wager it's nowhere near how I drive mine, lol. There's always going to be a tradeoff, especially with a cam. I'm guessing ported...

    Aftermarket side pipes

    Yeah, I've also heard that tack welding is fairly common on these. However, tacking the bands won't really do anything as they are not going to be what is rotating. The turnout pipe from the manifolds slips into the front of the muffler and the clamp goes on the outside of the muffler to...
