    Just got new hatch struts, 2001 GTS ... how to install them? ---

    Just looked at mine and it's pretty obvious that the switch (plastic housing/metal contact that rides along slider of strut) is moved over to the new strut. Get a flashlight and look down inside the switch housing at the bottom of the driver's side strut. Did mine a year ago and it's a piece...

    Did you make it to the Tail of the Dragon on the way or way back?

    I went a little out of my way to make sure that the Dragon was on my 'check off' list on this trip. Got there yesterday and did one run to the South and passed about 6 Snakes running the other way. I was really holding out until this morning (Wed) to go and join up with others. Made a number...

    Michelin Pilot Super Sport Review

    Anybody know if Michelin is making or going to make the rear 18" tire for Gen II Vipers? I picked up a set of brand new fronts, but now I can't find any info on the rears to match them up. Wanted to get a full set and not just put the front PSS tires on. If they aren't going to be made...

    Curb rash on CCW wheel - repair recommendation?

    I have some hot rodder friends that are going to get back to me after doing some checking with THEIR friends. I agree, it really depends on the individual, but a shop's reputation can keep from getting Bubba with a power drill and metal wheel.

    Thanks. From what I've read, they seem to be hit or miss depending on the shop.

    Still tinkering with the interior!

    Gerry, The sills look so good, I'm going to go out and see if mine would work like that. The pedals, not really crazy about, but I have a boring black interior!

    Valve stem question

    ART told me at the Roundup that they were no longer working on normal customer cars and were only doing RACE vehicles. They worked on my car in the past and would not be doing it any more. That was back in the Spring of this year. Guess they moved on to a less expensive shop to continue...

    2006 coupe won't spin tires just flooring it?

    I don't know about the Gen III's, but I can't floor my Gen II in the power band in any of the first 3 gears without breaking loose even with almost new PS2 tires. I'd say you have something holding back your power at lower RPM's. Ditto on the usual stuff ... plugs, wires and injectors. Of...

    Looking to buy a GTS and saw this today

    Every Gen II that I've seen that's been driven has some evidence of bubbling paint on the valve covers. The only exception has been those that have been reworked. Don't cut corners on the powder coating as a special prep process has to be followed by a person that knows what they are doing...

    Holy Crap Tree Sap!!! HELP!!! ---

    Go for the WD first, if that doen't work (in a shaded garage with the body cooled down), you'll have to get more aggressive with some of the other suggestions. The key is to get it off and IMMEDIATELY get the surface sealed and protected. Sap isn't a real issue here. I foam the car and it...

    Several questions about the Gen II intake manifold.

    Seriously, Jance, are you going to drive it or polish parts until they shine? I can appreciate someone wanting to have the 'prettiest' whatever, but this is a car that is meant to be DRIVEN, not shined up and just looked at! To each their own, but that's a lot of work that most people won't...

    Tire bulge

    Continue thinking about what could have caused it, but REPLACE that tire IMMEDIATELY or just don't spend a single mile using it on the road or track. I had a similar 'bubble' last year caused by running the tire a little low on air for a short distance. I pulled it right away and within a few...

    So I Went to Get My New Tires Mounted This Morning and it Just Goes to Show...

    Looks nice and it's a great idea. Any particular reason you didn't paint the mounting 2 by 4 to match the walls? :omg:

    how noisy are your windows with them all the way up in your coupe? - 2009 ACR = noisy

I'd be willing to bet that wind noise is pretty low on the list of almost everyone on here. My exhaust drowns most wind noise out, but it does get a...
