    looking for ACR seat belt trim item

    Ron - Thanks for the information, but sounds like they are trying to make back their tooling cost on the first piece sold. That's ridiculously expensive for a part that should cost $5 each. I will call them to see if that price is correct, and if so I will find another way to deal with the problem.

    looking for ACR seat belt trim item

    Kevin - Thanks for the picture, but the earlier ACRs had a plastic part that trimmed the slot so that you did not see the raw edge. JonB is trying to find the source for it.

    ACR 5-PT Harness Mounts

    I am also researching the 5-point belt for a GTS and have learned that the most desireable set-up seems to have the cam lock on the crotch belt, so that it can be pushed under the seat when not in use. The other belts that have the cam lock on the shoulder straps or lap belt, get in the way...

    Want to be able to have your fog lamps on, even with your high beams on? read on

    How about someone coming up with a way to control the fog lights on/off from the stock light switch when the high beams are on. The switch moves in and out to do this for the low beams, so why can you not wire it to do this when the high beams are on. This way you could elect to turn off or on...

    looking for ACR seat belt trim item

    Does anyone know where I can buy the plastic trim piece that is on the ACR where the shoulder belt comes through the bulkhead. I don't think that it is available from Dodge as a seperate item. I want something to hide the cut slot in the bulkhead as was done on the ACR. Jerry Scott

    Pre-Ignition

    I had the same pre-ignition problem after installing try-y headers. I am using the NGK plug: FR5-1 (NAPA 7252) and no longer have the problem. This plug is just slightly colder and does seem to fix the problem. When you are changing the plugs, if you can find access to a borescope, stick it...

    Exhaust nightmare, help!

    Nadine - Make sure that you have the right parts. There should be a total of 6 parts to the two headers, with no two parts the same. If any parts are exactly the same, then you do not have the correct parts for the system, since all parts are different in some way. I have heard of this...

    Exhaust nightmare, help!

    Nadine - I put my B&B stainless set on last year and also had a problem with the fit on the passenger (right) side. The pipes would not go around the engine mount and the bends coming off the block were too far outboard, causing interference with the frame. I send drawing describing the...

    Console Brake Light keeps lighting up..

    I don't think that the Viper has a sensor for the level of the fluid in the reservoir, at least not on my 97. Overfilling it will not turn off the light. There is a sensor in the combination valve that senses pressure loss. This sensor could be defective, or you could have a leak in the system...

    Beautiful Viper ACR with a suprise!!

    I like the 3M Paint Protection film covering the front fascia, mirrors, side sills, and behind rear wheels. If it gets damaged, you just pull it off and reapply new material. Sometimes a little of the adhesive is left on the surface, but 3M has an adhesive remover that easily takes it off...

    Best Headers tested currently

    If any of these headers have slip tubes instead of bolted flange connections, I don't see how they could possibly get a CARB certification due to the gas leakage at the slip joints.

    Stainless steel brake lines

    If you are looking for stainless lines for the stock brakes, in my opinion, Eric Messley makes the best system, since he uses the stock rigid line hardware. He replaces the rubber lines with stainless and the rest is standard bolt on. By using the rigid line hardware, you do not have to worry...

    2000 and newer baffled oil pan?

    Here's the pan that I have and it works very well to stop high-g starvation. It's made by K&P Engineering, 303-697-5821. It can be done with either the pre 2000 pan or the 2000 and after pan. I have the 2000 pan which holds 10 quarts and it works very well for me under track conditions. In my...

    Driving light covers

    The driving lights can be covered with 3M paint protection film to prevent rock breakage. This is also true of the headlight covers.

    Modifying Stock Throttle Bodies

    I agree with Fred. I have seen dyno data that shows that enlarging throttle bodies on engines that are nearly stock or that only have headers have resulted in a no power gain and often a loss of power.

    Driving light covers

    You are better off without the covers since they were easy to knock off the car and when you wash the car, moisture gets behind them. You could cut the slots in the fascia and put them on, but I find it better to leave them off.

    Light corrosion on tank cap

    You could also have it clear powder coated, if you want to repair it. You would have to disassemble it completely including the roller and pin. The problem is dissimilar metal corrosion. When aluminum and steel are in electrical contact you get a voltage transfer between the two metals that...

    Power Steering remote modification

    In my opinion, it is not necessary to relocate the p/s reservoir. All you really need is a heat shield in front of the headers to stop the radiated heat. I have used this idea for three years and have had no problems after many track events. I mounted the stainless shield to the 7/16 threaded...

    What's the scoop on supercharging?

    Re: What\'s the scoop on supercharging? I have ridden in one of Ken Kerstein's cars where the flywheel output was around 700 hp.. It was impressive and seemed very streetable. My concerns are: 1. Ten lbs. of boost is rather high for this engine and I would question the durability of the V10...

    Anyone know how to take 4 degrees of timing out

    The simplest way to do this is to put in a colder spark plug. A slightly shorter (colder) plug will slightly retard the timing by pulling back the ignition center in the cylinder. I use the NGK FR5-1 plug which is only slightly colder that the stock plug, but fixes the detonation problem that I...

    Water Dripping from Tail Pipes

    The products of combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel are CO, C and H2O. The water changes into a vapor after the pipes get hot enough, but during warm up you will see it as water running out of the tailpipe.
