    1993 owners, I got a question for you.

    ' 93 is a strange one. Mine is an early '94 (12,'93) .. Look at the build date to know were yours fits in... I have books for '94,95 if you need a virtual hand..... Find the wizard.....

    Using a floor jack

    Harbor Freight... Get two. $100 buys a 'good enough' steel low-clearance jack. I have three and they all work fine and never 'let me down'.....lol Just follow safety procedures.... Once it's up set your stands!! (I don't trust Harbor Freight crap either). Cheers!

    Dashboard repaint

    It's a good weekend project. The grey dash should have been satin black from the factory...but it wasn't!

    Gen 1 gasket question

    I've done four (so far) in my garage. It's an easy weekend project job. Materials are about $700 +/- . It's a simple engine to work on. I love the gen 1 Viper and drive mine often! Don't blow away thousands of $s on such a simple job...... Cheers!

    Anyone use a trickle battery charger on their Viper?

    A good quality electronic tender will keep a battery for 9 years.......or more. My experience is with deep-cycle UPS batteries but even car batteries like a constant low charge voltage while resting in the garage.... Temps matter. Cold batteries last longer but need a lower tending voltage...

    Have the discussions on the VCA site gone to hell?

    I'd change the subject matter back to the OP, if I may.... As an old-school viper guy, my answer is No. The forums here still represent the best of VIPER. ..... As with all forums, there's tons of BS here; just sift through it to find what you want.

    7 years. I can't Believe

    Only 50 miles in seven years is a stab in the viper eye! That car needs a serious run through the twisties....

    Best use of a Gen 1 viper ever in a music video

    No heat!! from a Viper that is rare!!

    Does your A/C work? When you switch to defrost the A/C comes on to remove the moisture from the air. Adding heat with no A/C will only cause the window to fog. Cheers

    ^ Too bad you couldn't work that Maggie Valley trip to coincide with the TOD gathering. It's a good time and a fun place to meet other owners and posters here. Cheers

    Will change the head gaskets...

    If you intend to do it yourself..... CHEERS! It's an easy job. The viper engine is a tinker toy. Here's what you need: Dan's MLS head gaskets (for sure). You also need new intake and exhaust gaskets. Also, get new t-stat crossover gaskets. Want a new t-stat? go with a 180. It's...

    Nightmare clutch... HELP... !

    It's all been said. ( I'd bet that's the first time anyone's ever swapped clutch fluid in your '97 ?) ....... Bring it back to the same guys who replaced the slave. Could be air in the system but probably not IMO, be ready to also replace the master.

    What brake fluid for 100% street driving?

    For regular street driving any DOT 4 will do (change it every three years, use it or not), Same for the clutch...... If you're flushing the breaks and have it up, may as well do the clutch too..... Mines on stands in the garage now. I'm doing all the fluids tomorrow.
