    Potential Tire Problem...Insight Needed

    I sent an email this morning. This is by no means a thread to bash the seller. I know the seller has a good rep with us and thought that MAYBE the tires are fine to mount, thus why he sent them as-is. It's probably just an oversight and I'm sure it'll be resolved swiftly. Their customer...

    Potential Tire Problem...Insight Needed

    I just got a set of shaved Toyos and I have a few questions. 1.) The seller said to mount them, do an aggressive drive topped with a left- and right-hand doughnut, then pull them off to get balanced. Reason being the pickups on them will throw off the balancing. Anyone second that assessment...

    personalized plates

    There was a pretty substantial thread on this a while back. If you do a search for "vanity plate" you'll come up with plenty of options.

    Painting stripes on GTS (pics)

    x2 :D Also...do the stripes not go all the way down the bumper on the newer cars? My 1998 has them all the way down past the exhaust. Is that another variation by year, or is that something you wanted custom, Leslie? As badass as that looks in these photos, I bet in person it blows you...

    New Plates :D

    I would have had there been one. We were on a toll road with 2 northbound lanes and a big-ass grass median...well, 3 lanes if you count the shoulder.

    Painting stripes on GTS (pics)

    Going through the NACA duct and down the license plate area looks best. EXCELLENT choice...can't wait to see pics!

    New Plates :D

    Yeah, reckless is a class b, so I guess passing someone on the shoulder is the Texas equivalent to driving around drunk. Either way, lesson learned. Anything on public roads will be infrequent and with a pack of other upstanding, respectable adults (read: "GET THE OTHER VIPERS, NOT ME"). All...

    Tangled with a 2010 SS Camaro...

    Maybe if you had a new kickass vanity plate they'd have left you alone? :dunno: http://forums.viperclub.org/rt-10-gts-discussions/629673-new-plates-d.html :D

    Painting stripes on GTS (pics)

    Excellent choice on color! You're right...those "in-progress" pics are scary. Better your car than mine :D When will the bad b*tch be done? I wanna see more!

    Gen I Owners...Come on in Please!

    Unmodified cars are only as big a headache as you make them. The only "major" thing that's necessary on them is replacing the head gaskets, and by now most should have had that done. They're relatively simple cars and if you're handy with a wrench you can do most of the work yourself. The only...

    what's a 94 r/t really worth

    Marty also sat on his car for almost a year until the right buyer came along, and I think it had fewer miles. His had heads/cam, water/meth, a full exhaust and a bunch of other stuff. A blown Gen. I is a niche market cuz most people with that kind of scratch want into a GTS or want the RT as...

    parting out my GTS. Lots of Custom Parts in the clasifieds.

    Sorry to see 'er go...your car is one of the most unique, f*cking badass examples out there. It may sound corny, but before I ever got my car yours was a hero of mine. I downloaded the pics you posted cuz I loved the way you customized it. Good luck with the sale!

    That's the hot sh*t right there!

    New Plates :D

    The cop was actually really cool; he'd dragraced in high school at the Temple track I just got back from (hence the writing on the windshield). We swapped a few stories about racing and high-speed chases (him, not me ;))on the way to the big house. He said he'd never have taken me in had the...

    Tangled with a 2010 SS Camaro...

    I'd think even a stock GTS would stomp an SS. A friend and I were with a pack of 3 on the way back from a car show 2 weeks ago but we never got enough room to run. I'm still waiting for my first real challenge in the new car...

    Chrome GTS emblem

    My old car had the aftermarket ones and "chrome" is misleading. They're basically a metallic-looking base with acrylic puff-paint-looking clear over them. From a distance they look chrome but when you get close you can see air bubbles in them and tell they're just plastic. I went with them...

    What would look good?

    White with black would be the sh*t and so would orange with black. I think there is a guy on the Alley that has orange with white...it's either MBC Center or BURNEDTOAST or something. That looks good. Anton's all-white GTS looks good.

    New Plates :D

    Dunno about that :) My brother was in the cop's face with his digital camera while he cuffed me, and the pics were on Facebook before I was even booked. That's brotherly love for you...at least I was in the Viper so it was a decent story.

    New Plates :D

    Short version: On Easter I passed a Prius (in the Viper) on the shoulder and an off-duty deputy followed me for 10 miles so I got arrested (and convicted) of reckless (SHOULD BE WRECKLESS CUZ I'M BADASS) driving.

    New Plates :D

    I was impressed that they were all murdered out...hadn't seen black cuffs before :) I'm hoping that the plates are disarming humor and not something that provokes Johnny Law. Since this car is a lot more rare than my old one I thought I'd get custom plates...plus the new ones in Texas are...

    wtb: stock set of 97-98 wheels

    Damn, man, you missed out! There was an auction that closed yesterday on Ebay. Dude wanted $300 for a set of rears with Hoosiers already on them, plus $100 if you wanted the fronts. They wound up going for $380 for the set of rears. I was watching them but figured out another solution to...

    New Plates :D

    Because of a string of stupid decisions this past year and the resulting ramifications from the State of Texas, I decided to literally (and figuratively) put it behind me with commemorative plates. Cause: Effect:

    Will an 01 dash fit a 96?

    I don't think it will. I say this because I was told a 1996 dash...and ONLY a 1996 dash...would have been a direct replacement for my 1993. That leads me to believe that it won't. Jon B or Chuck Tator could give you a definitive answer.

    I tinted front lights on my GTS, pics

    When I do clear corners I'm going to tint those, but I think I'm going to use the spray kind. I think I may tint my headlights just to piss Spray off :D Mike, it was good seeing you this weekend...car should be up by the end of the week. We should get together!
