    corsa vs stock exhaust heat question

    You don't specify the Gen, but on a GenIII if you drop the cats and the cross over [ et al MOPAR race exhaust ] there's no longer a need to run the AC when it's 55'F outside and the side sills stay cool. On our nice steamy and humid FL days, the AC blows cold, we are quite comfortable and my...

    Thinking of Borla catback system

    Try the MOPAR race exhaust P4510856 which is for GenIII [ the above link doesn't appear to be for a Gen III ] ... Gets rid of the cats and cross over. Side sills stay cool, interior stays cool, sound volume +2. Some drone at some speeds. Mine has a sweet spot right around 80 where it's...

    Gen IV Engine ticking noise

    All the Viper V10's I've ever heard including the RAM SRT10's running 0w oil make noise. If it's warm enough, Mobil1 15w50 or Amsoil 20w50 are just fine and no more ticking noises. I use both in my V10's and my Chall SRT8 with no issues and they run quiet and maintain good oil pressure when...

    New Owner question about low mile cars

    Mine has low miles, I do drive it but not very far most times. It's very competent in the rain. We have other cars for long trips that aren't nearly as fun but they are bigger and more comfortable. Nothing against the Viper at all. Also we don't drive as much as we used to. I might consider...

    Regarding Redline's WaterWetter..How many Viper owners here use it?

    I run it in all my cars, helps with the corrosion and lubes the pump seals. I believe it helps keep things cooler. --FQB

    Possibly trading Viper. need porsche opinions

    And neither of these cars are very streetable. They sit so low that they are impossible to drive on the road without damaging the front spoiler lips. Even though they may have the -optional- front end lifter, that many times isn't enough. The ride is bone jarring on anything but the...

    Possibly trading Viper. need porsche opinions

    Just wait until you try and change the plugs on a 911tt ... Can you say take the engine out ? You'll have to do that for many things you would think simple. some people will tell you that you don't need to pull the engine on a TT to change the plugs, well if you have the hands of a midget...

    Possibly trading Viper. need porsche opinions

    We have both a 2006 Viper Coupe and wifes car is a 2011 911tt and it's her DD. Not her first P car. The 911tt is a nicely refined car, fairly comfortable. It's very quick 0 - 80mph. But after several years experience with various P cars I'm FIRMLY of the belief that you never, ever own one...

    Rear Noise on Sharp Turn

    Man that sure sounds like a rear wheel bearing OR a CV either the joint itself or the retaining nut at the bearing. The retaining nut is an easy check. The CV's aren't too hard to check and the bearings are pretty simple to remove as well. That's where I'd look. In my experience covering a...

    PROJECT: "HARDCORE ACR-700R" Has Begun

    It sounds suspiciously like your torque output is close to or over the torque rating of the trans. I did this to a TKO 5SPD with a built V8 in a Dakota. Didn't mangle the clutch but the trans acted the exact same way. Lots of pieces on the inside. Please let us know what the tear down...

    Just bought a 64 Plymouth Savoy!

    You can put a Kellog stroker crank in that 440 and go just over 500cid. With a good set of Indy Cylinder Heads the torque will be off the charts and the HP in the 600+ neighborhood at fairly low RPM's. And you can do this on pump gas. All with a single 4bbl carb. It's really easy to put a...

    Headers Installation and Flanges ?

    After several years I have *ZERO* leaks with the copper gaskets specified in that write up. Using silicone will give you leaks and one hell of a mess to boot. The acid used to cure the RTV may also do some metal damage. As specified in the write-up I torqued everything to spec and used lock...

    Throttle Body options for a Gen 3

    Not at all. But you may want to help the PCM sync to it as you will be moving the TPS from one to the other TB. With the car off, turn the ignition on and don't start it. Depress within 10 seconds the gas pedal 3 times to the floor and release, slowly. Turn ignition off. Done. --FQB

    Throttle Body options for a Gen 3

    I've tried a few different TB's on GenIII engines ... What they all seem to improve is throttle response. The worst one was from a board sponsor and the best was also the best bang for the buck from The Fastman [ thefastman.com ] ... The latest gen BBK is very good and if you search you can...

    Does anyone get asked this.....

    Old guy at the gas station several times. And then generally from other people when I'm getting gas and then I get wow a Viper! That thing must use a lot ! That's when I look at the monster SUV they are driving and say ya, it gets 20mpg on the highway at 80mph. How about yours ? --FQB

    DIY Brake Fluid Change

    Well you don't want to gravity bleed, you may get air everywhere. If you have a friend / wifee to pump up the pressure so you can then open the bleeder, then when the pedal hits the floor, close the bleeder prior to helper releasing the pedal. Repeat until no air and clean fluid. Easier...

    Does a CEL clear on it's own after some ingition cycles?

    Or just pull connector C1 off the PCM for a few minutes. It's a lot easier than getting to the battery. --FQB

    Lift Sales Comment... Strange...

    On a 4 post lift, look at the lift ram/cylinder and the pulleys. If that thing has plastic ones, run as fast as you can. Make double sure that the "locks" go into the post, not just hook on an exterior tab. There are several other things I'm sure others will chime in. I have an American...

    Chrysler to pay off fed loans

    Then perhaps you should ask / talk to all those pension folks that got totally hosed when the govt put the unions first and the bond holders last. They got only a few cents on the $ if any in some cases. I'm not wrong, you're lacking information / misinformed. As for the company being poorly...

    Chrysler to pay off fed loans

    And the US govt totally screwed the Chrysler bond holders [ who are normally fist in line at a bankruptcy hearing ] and gave a big piece to the UAW. So a big YES to #1 :mad:. NO to #3 and probably not for quite some time. --FQB

    Is this true, Zagato built off a Viper?

    Looks like they stole the back end from a Cobra Daytona Coupe and the rest ? Ug. Why not leave a Viper a Viper ? Awesome, timeless styling. --FQB

    Catch Can Oil Recovery

    I see at least that much on my Challenger SRT, but on my SRT10 RAM and 06 coupe I don't get much oil, maybe an ounce if that much in 2500 miles. My goal was ZERO oil in the intake. I did notice some oil on the back of the throttle blades on both GenIII engines so I put can/vents on both of...
