    Whatever Happened to [******]?

    Simms, As far as PA is concerned, I would have my local cronies work on my Viper. There are a couple of people near Jeannette, that are pretty fussy about stuff like putting an engine in a street rod and detailing the installation. Maybe a body shop or two that will really give you some bang...

    I don't appreciate this board refusing me help.

    Re: I don\'t appreciate this board refusing me help. Wha.... I should throw away the front fascia that is on my car just because it is his? Or never buy a car that has his parts on it? I don't know about you, but I would never pass up a deal on a Venom if I had the chance. As far as him...

    I don't appreciate this board refusing me help.

    Re: I don\'t appreciate this board refusing me help. I agree, asterisking, in general is a very bad idea. Since H'man was and perhaps still is a serious factor regarding Vipers, Like him or not, he has created a lot of stuff for the Viper and a lot of us end up with it, one way or another. We...

    Whatever Happened to [******]?

    yeah, I am pretty close. While I had an East Coast and a West Coast Viper (...and Vipers), I sold my new 2000 GTS which was my East Coast car. My remaining Viper is in Carson City, NV and I want to get the body all done and then start driving cross country a few times to play in the Rocky...

    I don't appreciate this board refusing me help.

    Re: I don\'t appreciate this board refusing me help. Thanks for the help! I guess part of my "panic" was the totalitarian response in LS1.com. Clearly that is not the case here since the point has been clearly made. I'm definitely going to call Mike!!!! (latest thinking is that bumper DOES...

    I don't appreciate this board refusing me help.

    Re: I don\'t appreciate this board refusing me help. If I write H'man's name properly, it is asterisked. On LS1.com, if you try to talk about Paris Hilton, you get censored. If you try to get around by mispelling or whatever, they threaten to ban you from forum. I didn't realize that...

    I don't appreciate this board refusing me help.

    I don\'t appreciate this board refusing me help. I have a Viper, I have had a total of 3 and I am working on the front fascia of Wayne Skyle's Bad Viper which I bot. However, any attempt to ask for specific help is ********ed out by this board. So is that what you think of me and my...

    Whatever Happened to [******]?

    I'm sorry, but "******" is infantile in my book. What is the purpose? Let the new member find out for themselves? Or have legal actions been taken against this website?

    Whatever Happened to [******]?

    Is he still doing Viper stuff? I was wondering if his Viper body stuff is still being made. Reason being, that I am repairing one of his fascias and recently decided to keep it totally stock and unmodified since it might be considered collectible.

    How to Install Fiberglass Front Fascia ?????????????

    It's a [******] fiberglass. If you simply try to spread it, there seems to be a bind at the outboard side of the headlights. Also, the fascia flange gets wider half way up the radiator closure panel which makes spreading and sliding it over more difficult. Also, there is a barb pin tab...

    How to Install Fiberglass Front Fascia ?????????????

    I'm trying to put my fascia back on (garage took it off) and I thought I could simply spread it over the radiator closure panel. However, it simply doesn't want to spread that extra 1.5 inches. So how is this done properly? Thanks in advance, Tom

    Tilt Steeringwheel Down - Engine Shuts Off ??????

    Yeah, that sounds like a real good place to start. Wanted to add the Roe Vec 1 Lambda meter also goes blank when shuts off. Also, the colder it was overnight, the worse the problem is when first starting in morning. After some tilt wheel "workout" problem subsides. I'm trying to remember...

    Tilt Steeringwheel Down - Engine Shuts Off ??????

    80k miles, 96 GTS w/VEC1 Any ideas? My prelim guess: ignition switch or bad ground. (I think, if memory serves me right, VEC1 is spliced into wire bundle at computer.)

    GTS Interior Trim Screws: Need Help Reassembling

    I'm putting the interior back together but didn't take it apart. So I basically have a bag of screws and trim pieces. I have most of it figured out except for a couple of screws/locations. For discussion, I'll define some terms: There are 5 main perimeter trim pieces: (1) Hatch rear...

    T56 Identification Tag - Trying to Identify

    If anyone has worked with T56's and this tag is not familiar, please let me know that because, frankly, I think the 11193 is a date code and this is not a Viper T56 tag.

    T56 Identification Tag - Trying to Identify

    We are trying to determine if the following identification tag came from a 96 GTS T56: The tag is aluminum w/black paint. It is 3.25" x .75" approximately with a bolt hole at one end. There are 2 rows of numbers: (I've used periods between numbers to get the approximate spacing since html...

    Dyno HP #'s, 3.55's vs 3.07's

    Re: Dyno HP #\'s, 3.55\'s vs 3.07\'s It would be nice Dyno Jet had a way to vary its effective inertia for true back to back correlations run at the same time rate of change of rpm.

    Friend saw a totally tricked out SRT in Reno

    This guy builds rally cars and knows a lot about ground effects. The car was black and to the casual observer, probably wouldn't have been that noticeable. However, here are the 2 things that he noticed: 1) It had massively wide rear tires. He is currently working on my GTS so he knows...

    My unbelievable E-bay, Florida, scam! I lost $1000.00 - Beware

    You can buy a like new stone chip free Viper with over 16k miles on it I know this because that was the condition of the 2000 GTS I sold at 16k. There is no magic to get NO stone chips. Simply stay hundreds of feet behind whatever you are following and NEVER, NEVER follow a big truck. Then...

    Are there any aftermarket pistons out there?

    (forgot to mention) With a flat top piston, the only thing you have to worry about is quench but since Viper does not approach this like GM, it is not clear what they are up to. The extended reach plug is a clue. LS1 and LS6 do not use it. So that leaves detonation grooves and accumulator...

    Are there any aftermarket pistons out there?

    If Venolia is still in business, they should be able to supply pistons at about 1/2 that price. (that is if they aren't price gouging because its a Viper.) I would give them the dimensions and say it was for a 318.

    Do "non-driving" spouses pay the full registration fee?

    yo Well, from my perspective, going to VOI without a Viper is right up there with self mutilation. Without my Viper there, the best I might muster is "auditing" whatever I can while staying at Motel 6.
