    Seat Bolster in my Back

    2nd that, Maurice had his tweaked inward on his GTS to provide more bolster support because he is so thin. I felt locked in because I am not so thin. I don't know who did it or how it was done. You could ask him, his email is [email protected]

    Paint problems with my dash redo, help!

    There are some tricks to using a Bomb or Rattle Can. The most important thing is to warm up the can. This will do two things, increase the pressure inside the can and make the paint thinner. This will create a finer paint mist and make it much easier to control how much paint is applied...

    What happend to the monthly VCA prize giveaway?

    I am assuming the lack of interest was from the Vendors donating prizes. I don't think anyone is uninterested in receiving a prize. Too bad I didn't win at least once before the program ended. My vote is to keep it going! :)

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    It's funny that you mentioned Rubik's cube. That was how I first thought of it. I twisted and turned, raised and lower and every possible combination for over a half hour until I finally decided to lower the front all the way down. From there out it was fairly easy.....

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    Nope! Going stock! It has worked good enough for the last 58K miles. I am only replacing it because I have to remove it to get to the oil leak at the crank. Since I am there......you know how the rest of it goes!:D

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    Okay, after multiple interruptions and a trip to replace my craftsman rachet with 18" flexible head rachet, i was able to break it loose and remove the nuts and then bolts with the diff supported on a trannyjack. Holy smokes! I thought I could just drop this thing down and be done with it...

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    Hello Aaron, That's how I stripped the rachet. I needed to use the rachet because of the tight space with 18" pipe. With the exhaust out, my breaker bar may work just fine. but I thank you for your offer and will keep it in mind. That would be a bit of a drive for you.

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    Yup, I was surprised when I saw that you posted the impending upgrades. I thought you were going to take it slow for a little while. You are lucky Nikki is as passionate about cars as you are. I soaked everything done and came inside to take a little break. Even as frustrated as I got, it...

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    Yeah, it has already begun! Today, I only have KN's, Chrome Smooth Tubes and Roe High Flow Cats. Tomorrow, The diff is going to be rebuilt with 3:55's or as soon as I can get it off the car. I might have to wait on the cross over for a little bit. At least I will have everything loosened...

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    He did make one suggestion to go ahead a remove the rear exhaust section. The manual didn't state that this was necessary, so I didn't. This should give me more room to work. Wondering if I should replace it with a muffler delete kit since I have to remove it anyway....hmmmmmm!

    I must be missing something...trying to remove the diff!

    As the title says, I am removing the diff for rebuild and I am stuck trying to break loose the 4 mounting bolts for the diff. I have used all the usual tricks, PB blaster, longer lever on the wrench, broke a rachet. etc and can not get it loose. Yeah, I am going in the right direction. I...

    OK... So I need to know how bad are viper really.

    You might find these threads interesting, helpful and perhaps amusing! FYI, I driven my GEN 2 in every condition except snow, and Gen3's are considered more civiliized. Good luck on your decision! http://forums.viperclub.org/general-viper-discussion/639489-dd-vipers.html...

    Need advice on if the paint I am using is ok on my dash

    You could contact Duplicolor and see what they have to say. You might not have to go with the interior paint which I believe is more a dye then paint. Something in the plastics compatible line might be more suitable. Dupli-Color :: Home Dupli-Color :: FAQ

    Need advice on if the paint I am using is ok on my dash

    There are two reasons to use Plastic Compatible paints, solvents and flexibility. Even if the surface didn't react to solvents in the primer I would think that you would want to use a paint that has added flexibility agents in the plastic compatible version. Good Luck!

    Let's hear your best "spinout" story

    Just bought my GTS 3 days before. I took it to the Brian Angen Memorial Track Day preceding Viper Days at Buttonwillow. Just got out of the Miata from the previous session and jumped into the VIper. Going into Turn 3 "off ramp"in the clockwise direction, I downshifted to 2nd and did not match...
