I bought a couple of sets of Mopar (Brembo) brake pads off the internet. It turns out the seller thought both sets would fit an '02 but one set doesn't. I've decided to help the lady out who sold them by offering them here. The Part # is 04720986 and includes the pads, 2 pins, and 2 spring...
Gavin, what kind of seat did you install and did you have any fitment problems with the bulkhead, center console, or door panel? It seems a lot of the seats I've looked at are too wide. Thanks for the post.

Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid
Brakeman 3's
I use this setup for street and track and it works fine. You do get more brake dust with Brakeman's but you get used to it. Besides, after one classroom session with Skip, you'll learn brake dust is "good".

You need a hard top or roll bar. If you don't have one call Courtney at ViperDays to see if they have a spare you could rent/borrow. After that make sure all your fluids/oils are not too old. I've not been to Mid-Ohio so I don't know how hard it is on brakes but clean brake fluid is always...
Kevin, the 2000 LeMans winner was the #51 Red w/ white stripes. The #51 I have was driven by Tommy Archer at LeMans in 1998. They were the runner-up in the GT2 Class.
If you click on the autoart link in my original post and search 1:18 (in the 1st box) and Dodge (in the 2nd box), the #51...
Thanks to everyone who responded/bought so far. I have a few GTS-R's left as follows:
#56 Black Chamberlain ($80)
#52 Blue Playstation ($50)
#51 Red/White/Blue Oreca ($80) last one!
#91 Red Lemans (minor cut in window) ($80) last one!
#55 Benetton ($55)
#1 Yellow FujiFilm ($55)
#53...
Without box & shipping straps, ebay would probably bring no more than $50. If you can make a sale through this forum you can probably get a little more.

I remember reading another post with more detailed information but it's scheduled to be at the airbase (name ?) near Phoenix from March 23-25, '07. I've heard that VCA members will be treated like royalty if we attend (preferential seating and parties!). I just don't know if I have enough...
Wow, sounds like you have a lot of power! For Viperdays you do need a roll bar or hardtop for convertibles but call Courtney at Viperdays because they usually have a spare or two that they'll loan you free or for a nominal charge. This is a great way to get your feet wet. As for tires, I...
If you use Brakeman 3\'s...
please check the classifieds. Woodhouse is having a clearance event and prices are really good through year-end. Shipping is reasonable too.

Re: Alarm Reset Switch in \'02 GTS
Thanks for your post...maybe I'm not the only one who's experienced this condition. I did some more testing and if I turn the key in the reset switch counter-clockwise and hold it I can set the alarm but as soon as I release the key the alarm becomes...
Alarm Reset Switch in \'02 GTS
I recently removed the center console in my '02 GTS to install racing harnesses. I had to disconnect the alarm reset mechanism behind the glovebox. Now when I try to set the alarm the horn beeps 3 times and opening the hood doesn't set it off (the doors lock...
My recommendation is to make sure you have a friend to help you, especially upon reinstalling. The side sill can be a bit awkward and it doesn't take much for one end to put a scratch on the side of your car while your trying to put the other end in place.
Repair is the best route. Even used side sills are $1500 - $2000 each. A good body repair shop should be able to pop the dent out without repainting unless there's a crease. Good Luck.
Thanks Tom. I never understood the real reason why harnesses aren't legal. I guess it makes sense though. Have you seen racing seats that work reasonably well with a GTS setup? I think I've seen Sparco (Corsa?) but I'm not sure how the back was supported (or if it was).
I'm considering putting racing seats in my Viper but not sure I want the hassle of putting in / taking out between events. Are racing seats legal for street use? Are some legal and others aren't? I understand the racing harness is not. Thanks in advance.

Dave, I'm not trying to speak for Skip or Courtney here but I believe they did look for a track in the Northeast for '07. I think they looked at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock but the only dates available were in the winter. Skip has asked us for track suggestions so if you've got a track in mind...
I just inventoried my collection and have a few duplicates that I'd be willing to offer here first before putting what's left on ebay. There are 14 in the set and the only one I don't have an extra of is the 1998 LeMans #53 (Red/White/Blue). The entire 1:18 Viper GTS-R collection can be viewed...
You did an awesome job! I had an extra Burago GTS 1/24 scale so I tried to do the same thing. I got the whole thing disassembled and it was down to removing the windshield and rear glass (all one piece). You can imagine my frustration when a chipped off a piece of the windshield trying to get...
Anybody looking for a new set of Gen 2 Wheels may want to check out this auction. The seller has zero feedback but payment can be made by Paypal so you'd have some protection. Does anyone in Canada know of this Dodge Dealer?
I'm not really in the market but if the price is right...
ebay...
I went into one here in STL for the first time since they are listed as a distributor of JL. They didn't have any. I was disappointed as I was hoping they'd have racks and racks of Calendar Girl Vipers - I guess I was dreaming. If you like to build models your store will probably have a nice...
