    WARFANG Passed away a few months ago at 36

    Man this is tough to take. Warfang's viper was one to the first that I regularly saw around here. Seeing his car parked in Albany, CA one warm evening is what really turned up the fire and made me secure a Viper for myself. He had a long discussion one day with my son about the car at one...

    Towing Viper on this Trailer Question

    At most I would put a couple of ATV's or maybe a Mini Cooper on that trailer. The Viper needs to ride on a substantial dual axle trailer with a wide deck. Due to its loaded weight, the trailer should ideally have brakes as well. Countless fools and inclement weather can be encountered on a 3...

    Water Spots

    Vinegar water....I'll try some on the windshield and see if it does the trick before finding an inconspicuous spot on the finish. I tried detailer and it just started protecting the water spots... Thanks guys.

    Water Spots

    After doing a 4 hour love fest detailing job on my GTS, I took it out the next day and parked in an office park for an hour or so during a short meeting. When I returned to the car the automatic sprinklers were shooting out into the parking lot bathing my car and several others in high mineral...

    Craigslist Viper right in my hometown

    Craigslist is quite sleazy these days. I kinda miss the times when everybody didn't have access to computer--less noise.

    Craigslist Viper right in my hometown

    That is really gross, but I had to return a rental car in Maui (Crysler Sebring) due to roach infestation. Because of the hideous inconvenience we ended up with a free rental for a week. Nothing like opening up the trunk and seeing your bags covered with **** roaches and their brethren--I...

    For you guys that went with just caps: how much did it effect your alignment, and could any good shop do the work?

    Threaded Adjustable Shock Sleeves

    The stance on that vert just totally completes the package. It looks truly menacing. One more question: does it bounce and jounce around on the freeway like some of the lowered cars I've seen, or is the ride more or less the same, just lower?

    Threaded Adjustable Shock Sleeves

    Has anyone tried this kit for the oem shocks? The company claims that corner balancing and ride height adjustments are easy with these. Gen 3 Adjustable Coil Over Kit If it works it may be a cheap way to lower to precisely where you want.

    Utah Aftermarket Exhaust Ban Bill

    It galls me that with all of the serious issues that should occupy the attention of government, these knuckleheads actually expend legislative time and energy on this type of total BS. One thing is for sure, there are a lot of car people out there who won't easily just lay over. Now, if we...

    Utah Aftermarket Exhaust Ban Bill

    Utah Bill to Ban Aftermarket Exhaust Moves to Senate Floor | Specialty Equipment Market Association If this is a re-post, my apologies, but has anyone heard about this? Any Utah Viper owners have any current insight on the progress of this bill? :omg:

    2010 6 spokes on rt/10 ?

    I am in the process of a similar wheel swap. 1) Which gear set would give a slight boost (reduction) over stock? 2) Which method of leveling are you settled on? Springs, caps, or both?

    Brief Idle Hang Revival

    I was having the all too familiar idle hang issue on my 98 and I tried these three operations that seem to point toward a cure: 1) Clean the IAC (idle air control) motor on the side of the right intake--mine was sticky 2) replace short, heat relaxed/hardened vacuum lines (forward...

    Center Cap Question

    I didn't realize how rare those late issue Sneaky Pete caps are. I'm still a'lookin. Somebody has got to have a set they are willing to part with. Might have to put some on from a Neon....knowing Vipers, it might just fit:omg::rolaugh:

    Center Cap Question

    Greetings Nation, I purchased a set of 06 wheels to put on my 98. They have no center caps. Are the Sneaky Pete caps from the 02 pan style wheels compatible with the 06, or do I have to settle for the fangs of the gen 3's and later? If compatible, does anyone have a set of either cluttering...

    GTS window regulator guide help!

    There was a thread about this some time earlier, perhaps the poster will chide in. The part in question is apparently shared with some years of Chrysler Caravan. One can be had from a wrecking yard for peanuts. Good luck.

    new owner of a 98 Red GTS

    Congratulations on your new Viper. It will put smiles on your face--especially with some basic mods. Be sure to assess the age of your tires before you push it. I got mine with "new looking" original tires, with lots of tread--they were scary, to say the least. If they are original, figure...

    Right Rear brake Overdusting

    Since it is supposed to rain for the next few days, on jack stands it will go for inspection of the suggested items. Sometimes the obvious is invisible--its why its good to look twice before crossing the street. Thanks.

    Right Rear brake Overdusting

    [/I] Right, I misprinted...meant to say rear p-valve. The Wilwoods are one of their 2 piston kits adapted to the Viper by Valaya Racing. The suspension is stock, the parking brake is the original caliper left in place for that purpose, and now that you mention that, this could be a duh moment...

    Right Rear brake Overdusting

    My 98 GTS had the usual crappy stock brakes, so after noticing the right rear dusting more than the others, I decided to take that as time to upgrade. I kept the stock calipers up front and used Wilwoods on the rear incorporating a front/rear proportioning valve. I like the upgrade, but I am...

    What does your forum name mean?

    Well...you know....:) Also, it is in deference to the film Solid Gold Cadillac. I always thought it had a ring to it.
