A local guy here in Austin does ALOT of exotic car pics and has been doing engine shots of cars lately. He got some nice angles of mine and worked some magic for a teaser pic of the collection on my car! He took out all the scratches and cleaned it up. Yes it's my car... but I only wish it was...
I made a post about my completing my Paxton project and ment to put it in the Genreal Viper forum.... accidently put it in the Generation V forum...

Thanks for the heads up. Yea, it smells pretty gassy but with the car not being tuned, it dumps out so much fuel, I think that's part of it at the moment. I appreciate the heads up because others have also mentuoned about gas smell with steel braided line. I'll see how ling I can tolerate it...
I just put the bumber and hood on this past weekend but snapped off a few pics before installing it. Still trying to get it tuned...(working on it... will be a few weeks), but here are a few pics. Basically I bought Alkybanshee's Paxton blower with the custom Front Mount Intercooler setup he...
This is a common problem.... "Where to", and "how to" mount the hood latch for front mount intercoolers, since the original mounting location is usually compromised by cutting the bumper for the front mount to fit. Just wanted to share how I installed mine and tricks to consider.
First off...
Yes PLEASE do a writeup as this is an issue with all Vipers. If you don't add the info to this thread and make a new thread, please post a link in this thread so in the future people can find the thread when doing searches. Thanks!!!
ummm.... that's why I never go to the dealership. I took my Mustang GT in to Ford to get a plastic bracket put on the trunk molding and there were 10 miles on my tripometer when I picked up the car. I laid the smack down on those fools and they got scared... Dealerships are straight up morons...
Gotta have a boost gauge!!! Isn't that part of the fun?
The valve and filter drlee50 is talking about, is that little filter in pic #2 on the passanger side of the boost pipe by the alternator. I think he may have spelled it wrong but it's the Idle Air Control valve.... IAC. Typically they make...
If it was a head gasket... I would think losing that much coolant, at least a little would eventually get into the motor and you would see the white smoke coming out of the rearview mirror like a James Bond smoke screen. I almost think the water leak up top may have been the thermostat gasket...
I heard one was prone to cracking and breaking off the hub under extreme condisions, i.e. roadcoarse racing. But that's just what I heard.... not sure if it's true.
This is pretty basic soldering so any electric shop should be able to do this but may want to print out my pictures to show them... Also I had to cut up the plastic a little bit to get the connectors back in the holes because all that extra solder and wire doubled the size that was originally...
My car has been one of the highest HP cars with basic mods. I think it's from the SVS Race Only Headers and no cats. 461HP 507TQ. It has an 01' motor with only about 5,000 miles on it.
