    Looking to buy lowest mile best condition 97 Blue White GTS

    You must know RocketShip. I can post a pick of Rocket and Myself driving out to to see a Blue and White. Rocket was driving 120 in his new Bentley Anarge Turbo. Rocket is like me. If the car is perfect, he will take it. The problem is some guys perfect is not really perfect. Anybody really...

    Idle Hang Revisited

    I can down shift and "motor break" but in parking lots that does not work. At times I feel like an idiot driving through a parking lot with the motor reving. I wish there was a PCM flash that would cure this common problem. Jerry

    Nice 5 page article on Viperdays in GRM........

    B.S. Levy was just here signing books at our Ferrari Club breakfast meeting. I got him to talk Vipers and he was VERY impressed with the Viper on the track. Jerry Dobson

    Idle Hang Revisited

    Dan, Any idea why it comes and goes? If there was a problem, why would it not stay? What are most of the fixes? =Battery =IAC =TPS =PCM Jerry Dobson

    Here's how we eliminate idle hang when needed....

    Re: Here\'s how we eliminate idle hang when needed.... Jeff, Maybe replacing the battery only reset the PCM. Has the problem come back? I think most of these cars with the problem are stock...with the exception of K&N's. I know there were some complaints the heavy oiled filters... can...

    Door Hinges?

    Yep, covered by 3/36 only, not extended. Are you saying the stantion is rubbing the door seal? This is pretty common on Vipers. Where it rubs as you close the door. Does it appear that the door is too far back or that the door sets too low? If you want to do the repair yourself, I can go...

    Looking to buy entire rear carrier w/ 3.55s

    Nexus I did the same thing. I put in 3.54s and kept the original housing....but it's a lot more money doing it this way.

    What's it worth?

    Re: What\'s it worth? Blue and White is the #1 color choice (No...I don't own one, I have a Red one) If the car is STOCK. No upgrades (it's worth more this way on a Blue/White), if you are the original owner, you have the Delivery Card with the mileage marked and EVERYTHING the car came with...

    Sad story, happy ending (pics too!)

    Chris, Sorry I could not make it. I am glad you did not let them down. The rains were like the flood of 1993. We were getting about 1 inch per hour for a while. There is NO WAY I was getting out in that. It hasn't rained here forever and then it just slams us the day of this event. I know...

    Mojo, Let me know if you ever come into town. Hey guys, Looks like the weather should be perfect tomorrow night. The only problem is that is we are loosing sun. It gets dark around 8pm now. This month we will loose over an hour of sunlight…… So not too many 7pm cruises left. Hope to see you...

    Need Help on Air Fuel Ratio !!!!!

    Sensor Valves are what they are called when your car is out of warranty so you can't replace them yourself. In warranty they call them O2 sensors :) FYI: you wont get an accurate AF reading with Cats. Putting the sensor rod up the tail pipe on a cat car will not be accurate. You need a 02...

    Oil Change Procedures

    Hand Tighten ....Depends. If you can't get a solid grip on the filter, a tool may be required to snug the filter. A leak at the filter would not be good. I never "dry start" and car with a vertical filter. That filter will hold a quart of oil. Fill it prior to installing it on the car. Wear on...

    Come on Tracy... You guys can't be that far :) We will be meeting at Dean & Delucas this Friday again at 7pm. This is not a club sponsored event, all types of cars are welcome. Last Friday the NSX guys out did the Viper guys. Five NSX's showed up. They left early and few more Vipers...

    New Car - Oil Pan Leak

    If the screws are oiled.... I would say it is leaking. The gasket is VERY expensive. It is a piece of cake to put on. This is one part that a blind person could actually install....I kid you not. None of this matters since your car is under warranty. A mechanic ready to receive your car could...

    Best Year for a Gen II is what?

    My first choice has and is 1998. Even little things like Fog Light covers. Second choice is 1999. Third choice.... ??? 1998 and 1999 had slighter higer lift cams. The cream puff 2000+ cars kept the lift but drop the overlap like a bomb. They fell from 66 degrees to 60 degrees. Just one of...

    Car suddenly died

    Re: Car suddenly died (update) Do you mean a Cam sensor? Cam Sensor is on the front timing cover. About the size of a small cigar. Two wire hookup. Crank sensor is on the block.

    Tornado anyone?

    I think Sapphire came here looking for a real answer. What he got are few answers. If you don't know, don't try to cover up your lack of knowledge by making fun of the guy. I think HP is correct. Since our Vipers have direct port injection, these devices won't work well. On a throttle body...

    Need Help with State Farm Insurance

    I have had ZERO problems with State Farm. They have bent over backwards to keep me happy. If something is scratched or bent, they replaced it. Just remind them that your car will do 200mph and you drive it that fast on a closed course. Do they want the liability of not fixing it correctly...

    Timing chain cover gasket

    I noticed Jason left the side oiler on and disconnected the oil lines. You can take the four bolts out and leave the oil lines on, it's up to you. I like the oil pan to come off first. When you replace the front cover, you have to line up the oil pump. It's a little easier to feel the...

    547r's

    Re: 547r\'s I do like the wheels but it does make the rotors appear smaller. If you ever race your car in Viper Days they will want to inspect your wheels after each session. HRE's are classified as Show Wheels and not race wheels. They have had a few of them break. Others have posted that...

    Bellanger Headers Car Fire

    Mine are coated and I still use the heat shields. These cars get hot under the hood and you need to isolate any heat. Your feet ever get hot on the floor board? Other concern is how heat affects rubber, plastic, all all gaskets. All of your surrounding components are affected by the heat. A...

    Rear brake caliper piston tool

    The 4 sided tools don't work. The holes don't line up. Cars with low mileage turn easier than old cars. HINT: If you turn the piston and it does not retract fully, the trick is to get in the car and apply brake pressure. You will push the piston out and then you can turn it all the way back in...
