    Uneven Brake Pad Wear

    After nine hours of track time, my new Brakeman 3 pads were all worn down about a one-third except for the front driver-side outboard pad, which was worn down about two-thirds. Any ideas on why the exception? Maybe a single defective pad? Caliper piston issue? I haven’t experienced uneven...

    Emissions Testing and Comp Coupe PCM—Oh hell

    Oh boy do I need some ideas. There’s this certain SRT-10 Viper I know that’s had a bit of engine work done, and in connection with such work had to have a Competition Coupe PCM engine controller installed since the stock PCM couldn’t handle its aftermarket lumpy cam. The car has also had its...

    SRT-10 Pedal Discoloration?

    Note the difference in pedal textures between the brake and throttle (pic from the Viper brochure posting by Houss): I wonder why the difference.

    Well, I guess you could use this product, or anything else like it. I've never tried it, but maybe others have. http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1002&SKU=11138

    Quaife Installed; Best Mod IMHO

    Sleeper is correct. This is NOT a simple bolt-on or DIY modification. The differential housing must be bored out or milled to fit the Quaife and the tolerances are very tight. And while I'm sure there are a few shops here and there that will claim they can do it, Taylor does it all the time...

    Quaife Installed; Best Mod IMHO

    I picked up my Viper on Friday with my newly-installed Quaife differential and I couldn’t be more impressed with the improved control. It’s night and day, really. Previously, it was too easy to toss the rear end waaaay out on tighter corners in a mere fraction of a second if anything more than...

    Logo removal

    Hair dryer to heat the glue for easy debadging, fishing line to do the actual debadging (see link) and some WD-40 to remove glue residue if needed. http://www.slk32.com/pages/debadging/debadging.html

    Motons installed - wheel hop / ride height info

    It's my understanding from talking to Mark at Woodhouse that you really don't want to run the Motons (or any adjustable shock) at the extreme settings as it is too much work for the valves. Also, you want the springs and the shocks to share the load pretty equally, so if you're setting the...

    Sharing Track Photos from 2005

    Borrowing from an Adam96 post regarding Viper gatherings... How about some track photos from 2005? Here are my favorites from this past year... Love the lean (and look at the size of that tire wall)... Going hunting... Lousy background, but look at that front right tire... Skip's class...

    Light weight Flywheel?

    Recycled me: A lighter flywheel allows you to rev up to higher rpms faster between shifts, which can be handy when doing heel-toe shifting. Some advertisers suggest power increases from installing a lighter flywheel, but such claims can be a little misleading unless you remember that they...

    Recommended Floor Jack and Bottle Jacks?

    And for just changing the wheels or inspecting the brakes, you only need to use the jack point in front of the rear tire. Jack it up enough and it easily lifts both the front and rear tire on that side.

    Track wheels and tires . . .

    For what it's worth, I've had problems with only eight wheels. I put on four new track tires with sensor and had them "flashed" so that the low pressure sensor would recognize them. They worked great. Then, after a couple weeks and a couple track events, I put back on the stock wheels, drove...

    Under-the-hood Picture of Monton tanks?

    I can't seem to find a picture of the Motons gas tanks mounted to each side of the engine. Can someone please post such a picture? I want to have something to give to my shop. :D

    Racing Brake Pads?

    Front and rear, and I had no issues with the rear end getting loose. However, I was braking so hard at the end of the front straight that the front end would briefly "wobble" side-to-side when I first got on the brakes. I didn't feel as if my control was compromised, but rather that the car...
