    Turbo opinions needed

    Another option would be to fly out a tech to inspect the vehicle. If you have the coin to drop on a TT Viper, then you can afford a $500 plane ticket for a mechanic that can give you a definitive thumbs up or thumbs down. The input from the tuner is invaluable; they'll be able to tell you if...

    Tuning Resources?

    Does anyone know of any good introductory resources for tuning? I want to read up on what all is involved when analyzing data from the car. It's a steep learning curve but I want to get a grasp on that stuff so I'm not constantly relying on a friend or paying a tuner to modify my cards every...

    Filling up tires with deep dish rims?

    +1 The guys at Discount gave me 2 that they went out and bought because they didn't want to risk scratching the rims when they filled them up. They work great!

    BOLO Stolen 1999 Viper GTS

    There aren't too many of those in that color combo...if the idiot is out they'll be spotted. I believe there is another like mine around here; a friend of mine saw it before Christmas then Viper Gal saw the twin a few days ago. I'm probably coming to the thing in SA tomorrow...hopefully...

    Need a center console

    Some of these have more damage than others (if at all) but I was just showing you who the vendor is and that he does, in fact, have them: 1998 Dodge Viper Black Center Console Used Gen 2 : eBay Motors (item 360143412559 end time Jan-24-10 09:31:10 PST) Dodge Viper Center Console Black Used...

    Need a center console

    Call Paul Scharf or look up viper.paul on Ebay. He has a bunch of stuff like that...normally for between $100-200. Not cheap, but not as bad as some parts are. He's a pleasure to deal with too; if you're not happy you can send the stuff back. I've bought things that I no longer needed and he...

    Who knows the car? RT/10, red, 2002

    About $10k-12k too high, IMO. You can pick up a Gen. II RT/10 for under $30k. This guy is smokin' somethin'.

    Heat/Overheat Problem

    I was told by the guys at ART that if you swap the cooling system for a later Gen. I or a Gen. II it'll be fine. That includes the radiator, fan(s) and fender-mounted coolant bottle. Weaver said that when he worked at Maxwell they had to buy back 2 different early RTs when they couldn't fix the...

    Ch.1 - '08 R.I.P, lessons learned

    Well, THERE you are. I spoke to John for quite a while about my old car when he was contemplating buying the thing...he's a really nice dude. I hate to see this happen to anyone, but especially a nice guy and fellow TX VCA member. I wondered what all the LEDs would look like when you...

    DAVE666 Is this you??

    I think someone dug that up last year and we determined Dave had a doppelganger. I'm pretty certain that was the case but if someone remembers specifically set the story straight!

    Guys with HID Fogs (H3 Bulbs)

    I thought about that. Which bulbs on the Gen. III are HID? Lows/highs/fogs, or just a combination of one or two? I do like the look of the housing on a Gen. III better and I know of other guys that have done the swap. That'd be worth considering, but also adds $200-300 to my $400 project.

    Too good to be true?

    Wheels and foglights point to a 1999. Silver was only around for 1998-1999. +1 for fascia respray. I have a 1998 and there is a flat back portion where the fascia bolts go in the wheel well and this one is solid silver. Hell, it looks like the bolts were painted too...or swapped out for...

    Guys with HID Fogs (H3 Bulbs)

    I don't specifically remember what was inside the housing of my 1993, but I know that the cheap Ebay kit fit. It could be for 1 of 2 reasons: 1.) The bulbs were longer but not THAT much longer or 2.) That specific year/model didn't have the metal shield inside the housing. If anyone else has...

    Guys with HID Fogs (H3 Bulbs)

    I installed the el cheapo HIDs from the Ebay thread a year or so ago on my RT, and they worked consistently but I didn't like the initial flicker and fade-in they did. After the brand was recommended, I bought what I thought was a Philips-brand kit (just Philips patent) for my low beams...

    Should I stick with a Stock Thermostat?

    I had a lower one in my 1993 and eventually went back to stock. The car ran hot anyway and in the summer the lower thermostat would stay open constantly, heatsoaking the coolant. I eventually just went back to stock. In my 1998 I'd be willing to guess it has a 170 in it because that's where...

    Gen. II Keys $170

    I haven't screwed with my glovebox on the GTS. Does the ignition key not work, or it does but you just wanna be fancy? If it DOESN'T work, can a dealership cut one based on a VIN (with proof of ownership of course)? Man, I need a list of things that SHOULD have come with the car new so I...

    Gen. II Keys $170

    My car only came with one set of keys, so I decided to get a backup fob and backup key. The fob was about $60 on Ebay and the key (when I first looked) ran about $35. 2 weeks later the cheapest key I found on Ebay was $60, with The Viper Store being $80 and CHRYSLER wanting $170 (a la Chuck...

    No More McDonalds Motor!!!

    Roe has a nice-looking logo, and I think it works well under there. I don't think you can go wrong either way. If I ever redo mine I'm slapping Roe's logo back on there.

    My VEC 3 install in my Gen 1

    If he throws it in the glove box we won't be able to do that. Those wacky-ass Gen. Is don't have airbags so they have some extra dash space. I had my VEC III in my Gen. I and never had any problems with it not being insulated from weather. The only problem I ever had with it was when I didn't...

    My 96 ROE B/W GTS for sale!

    If you get anywhere close to that lemme know. My car is newer with about 8k more miles but comparable in mods (you have some I don't, and vice versa). I'll sell it for $58k! :D Good luck with the sale!

    I don't get it.
