    this. Either RTV or gasket. I never get why people use both. Both work better alone imo

    you dont need a lift for the rack bushings. you can do it with jackstands pretty easy. Idler, pulleys and belts are so cheap I'd replace them unless you know for sure they are relatively new. But that's just me.

    There's no need. Its a good time to do your belts and pulleys though if you havent yet.

    Please listen to him. On all of this No one has issues running typical coolant for 30+ years and 100k miles. The "corrosion" issue is not an issue. You're going to be removing hoses and what not anyway, just go with the standard.

    Pre-Purchase Inspection Recommendations in Northern Michigan

    Pre-Purchase Inspection Recommendations in Northern Michigan

    if youre just looking for roadworthy checkout and general PPI, really any good shop can do that. Vipers aren't very complicated. If anything they are one of the more simple cars you can get. I'd look for a good independent porsche/lambo/ferrari type shop in the area if you can't find anyone...
