    Brake upgrades for G2

    There are several options for a brake upgrade. Roe has a upgrade for the G2 with a front only SRT complete kit. Dave (supplier specials) sells a kit to upgrade front and rears as well. In terms of $$$ these two options seem to be the most economical. I currently have the stock brake system...

    only happened once before

    The Z06 guys get reactions to their car.. What they hear is "oh thats just another corvette". And if they happen to get asked questions about the car it is "how long did it take you to put 12 coats of Zaino?"

    Financing

    First, buy the "Viper Buyer's Guide" by Liang. You can purchase off of Amazon. You can get good rates on used cars if you are member of a credit union. I bought my used 02 and got the same rate as a new one. Only potential issue with used is a warranty. Insurance for me was cheap, (cheaper...

    Argh!! Parking lot hit and run.

    You might also get lucky and find him there in a couple of weeks. Hopefully he works close by and will return later. Of course by then all evidence will be gone, in fact it already may be buffed out. However you can always get the plate then and decide what form of justice will satisfy your pain.

    Thanks for all the info. Figure I will get this done soon before any real wear and tear takes place.

    Door alignment

    Steve, thanks. As I recall there are three bolts attached to frame. Is the adjustment vertical only or is there angular play as well? General purpose grease ok for the hinge?

    Door alignment

    The drivers door is rubbing on the bottom stripping on the door jamb. If I slowly close the door I can see a very slight rise in the door itself just prior to closing. I thought I had read some time ago a method to adjust the door so that this could be fixed. Nothing seems to be loose. The...

    FS: 1997 Supercharged GTS, 700+rwhp, MAXCARE Warranty until 2010!

    Great looking car and super mods. Can you shed some light on what it took to install those Sparcos? Also, did you retain the fore/aft adjustment? Good luck on the sell.

    Rear speaker removal

    On a 02 GTS, how do you get to the rear speaker to remove it? I started to take some of the trim pieces off and decided to ask before I tore out the whole trunk area on to find a better solution. The plastic pins on the speaker cover will not come out and the board holding the covers on are...

    Rear tire width change

    Ya ok. I guess seeing the rear tire sizes of other vehicles like the Z06 just go me to wondering about the size of the Vipers. Does not sound like there is much to gain by a slightly narrower rear wheel. Again I had not specific measure in terms of "better", just more of curiosity rather than...

    Rear tire width change

    Better means a broader selection of tires. I realize that the kumho is suppose to provide better traction but with very little tread is there a "better" option with a narrower tire? Better is pretty subjective just speculating about alternatives.

    Rear tire width change

    I have not done my research yet, but if instead of a 18x13 rear you ran a 18x12 could you get a broader selection of tires and maybe end up with a "better" tire than the sports? I can see the argument about less footprint with corresponding loss of traction but with alternatives in tires would...

    Tuning with a Vec 2

    Plenty of experts to help here, I am not one. You need a method to capture AF ratio to data log effectively. Several choices exist to do that, which someone will chime in with. Most dyno places have the gear to log AF. Bottom line, without AF you don't stand a chance to tune properly and in...

    oil change

    Whoops, 10w-30 is factory. I indicated what I use which is 5w-30. Seems to be what is most available at Walmart.

    oil change

    Factory weight is 5w-30 Mobil 1. Brand filter is probably up for debate. OEM is a no brainer, have read reports that Fram is not so good. How do you like the car?

    Lots of requests for a Bumble Bee coupe...

    That pretty well decided what color my next Viper is, of course why change to anything slower.

    Burning audio CD's

    Re: Burning audio CD\'s Problem solved. The CD-RW worked in a 2005 Toyota and a RX8. However they would not work in the 02 Viper or 02 Lexus. Tried a CD-R and worked in the Viper. Using Music Match to download songs and Windows Media Player 10 to burn. Thanks for the help.

    Will new coupe hurt our values?

    Win, what can we win on this forum? Sween: I hear Viper Alley is a much more accommodating group of guys. They are always willing to listen to others viewpoints and debate the merits of the issue. I kind of equate that site to the Corvette site, I mean nothing but purests and they...

    Will new coupe hurt our values?

    You will find all sides to this issue. Why worry about it? Enjoy what you have and let the market decide. Also, your FE is rare but not so rare. My 02 is only 1 of 37 for the same year as your FE and 1 of 145 total. There are many more out there that are rarer as well. I also don't think...

    what year viper was the best built

    1999 was the last year of the forged internals. So if you are talking SERIOUS motor mods go with 99 or older. You question is vague, what does best built mean? I would say all were built well. As with any car, as the years progress they continue to improve. I don't think any particular year...

    Burning audio CD's

    Re: Burning audio CD\'s Thanks for the info on the CD-R versus RW. I will get some R's. However I am also concerned that if you download a "copy protected" song it will not record over. The current and only (for now) site I am using copies the files as "copy protected". Is that an issue? My...
