    Instant Car Starter/Jumper

    That sears one looks good. The main thing is the battery that is in the unit. Some of the cheap ones use little weak batteries that can be toast after one use. This is one of those things that you get what you pay for. If you dont know much about battery specs its easy enough to just compare the...

    Gen III oiling issues

    ipetrov, the CC pan has the pickup further forward in the pan. I assume while accelerating the g-forces can cause the oil rush to the back.(away from the pickup) Try this experiment: Take a shoe-box, fill it halfway with water, put it on the ground and quickly push it forward. Where does the...

    "When Opportunity Knocks"...

    A. A nissan GTR B. A very aerodynamic front end with a plain looking grille that being said, i would like to see the C7 in person as i was blown away seeing Stryker in person at the unveiling but was somewhat disappointed with the pictures that i later saw on the internet.

    "When Opportunity Knocks"...

    I would like for everyone to try this experiment: Look at the below picture A. With your hand covering the front of the vehicle and only looking from the front wheel back what do you see? B. With your hand covering the side/rear and only looking at the front/face what do you see?

    Engine section?

    rukcus, I understand that it does take some time to get oriented & familiarized when moving from one forum to another. There are hundreds of threads on specific performance components on these forums. Most of them reside in the specific generation forum section.(RT/10 and GTS Discussion, or...

    Lowering Springs vs Coil Overs

    My stock shocks are sitting on the shelf, so no i do not think they will be leaking any time soon. Ive run a set of stock Koni's to 50K and another to 40K at about 50K miles i pulled my shocks to adjust them stiffer to better match my eibach springs. At the time someone was ditching stock...

    Transmission fluid change

    Yep, that was me. Sorry, wish i could edit or delete. Thankyou for the complete informative post Steve. The tsb to quiet down ngr was to replace the thinner dexronIII(nowATF+4) with the thicker MTF to quiet down NGR. ATF positives being: easier shifting (especially in colder temps), cheaper...

    Lowering Springs vs Coil Overs

    GTS-R 001 , I have a spare set of Gen2 Adjustable Koni's that i purchased used from a forum member for 150bucks a while back with the intention on eventually sending them to Koni to rebuild and possibly re-valve to stronger specs to mate better with my Eibach springs. Now that your fully...

    Lowering Springs vs Coil Overs

    Dan, He said "The stock Viper shocks always leak!!!!!!!" That is a false blanket statement that covers all vipers since nothing was specified. Then went on to say that his problem ones were the fronts. Your informative post says that you have seen some rear's on Gen3's prematurely fail. That...

    Lowering Springs vs Coil Overs

    Your sure? Mamba, with all due respect, When you purchased your Viper it was 5 years old with 16K miles. How do you have any way of knowing how the previous owner treated her if you weren't even able to tell that there was a giant dent in your frame???? (yes we remember) perhaps the...

    How to prevent headlights from yellowing?

    I purchased my Viper with 40k miles and the headlights had cloudy scratched plastic from all the highway miles. I sanded em down to a good clean base then polished out to a sharp clear finish. Now i just hit em with plastic polish on my mothers powerball once or twice a year to maintain the...

    Transmission fluid change

    Factory fill: Mopar Synthetic Manual Trans Lube 75W-85 is what i use. Part# 04874459 Fyi there was a TSB to use the DexronATF to quiet NGR, so some people run that. Also i think it is better for shifting in the cold. However, I prefer the extra protection of the 75W85 since hot performance is...

    What are you basing this statement off of? Im pretty sure it is false.

    Lowering Springs vs Coil Overs

    Vic, the moton & penski setups are likely what you are looking at for 5K. These are great options for a performance oriented track setup. In the midrange you have a couple options as well: About 3300 for a set of KW Variant 2's And about 1500 for a set of vipairs latest setup which you can get...

    How to prevent headlights from yellowing?

    How many miles are on your Viper? Are they perfect because she was a garage queen or because you just recently polished them?

    Lowering Springs vs Coil Overs

    Part of the problem with installing stiffer lower springs in conjunction with OEM shocks(dampers) is that the shocks will not be strong enough to absorb(dampen) the energy of the spring compressing & rebounding resulting in a ride that could be described as jarring, bouncy, or boat-like, due to...

    Differential Fluid Change - Whats the process?

    Bodywash bottle? Crafty... :-) No need for teflon tape. Just keep pumping intill she comes, then screw her with the bung.

    Differential Fluid Change - Whats the process?

    You can buy long rolls of the clear tubing at lowes/homedepot in various sizes. Then you to cut a long enough piece to get to the bottom of the sump and allow you to comfortably pump.

    Differential Fluid Change - Whats the process?

    Your #2 (Suction Grease Gun) is what i use for my trans & diff. (it is a PITA & makes a mess but with patience gets the job done)

    Differential Fluid Change - Whats the process?

    Don't worry about it. Just get-er-don. The same effort is needed to push the new(cold) fluid into the diff as the effort to pull/suck the old cold stuff out. Sure the fluid is easier to pull out when its warm, but no big deal.

    Sound deadening or barrier... Exhaust drone and noise control.

    Cobraken, I see what your saying, but its not like that. The deep tone of the drone and its decibel level can be damaging to the users eardrums (according to OSHA blablabla). This is because the low frequency soundwaves are a large wavelength that get bounced back and forth inside the cabin...
