    How much water gets past the window cowl when washing/rain etc.?

    I would not worry about it. I removed the cowl seal on my 95 years ago to allow heat to escape. In addition, I fabricated vents with screening into my cowl. I have been caught in heavy down pours with no negative effects what so ever.

    The WHEEL FAILURE thread

    96 cast five spoke wheels are prone to failure. Quickest way to tell if have a cast wheel is to remove the wheel and look on the inside for what looks like a bead weld around the entire inside of the whee. 97 and later the wheels were forged. I had a front 96 wheel crack near the center hub...

    Aluminum vs Chromolly flywheel

    Why go with an aluminum flywheel if chromolly is stronger and more durable? Price and weight are relatively equal:dunno:

    Coolant Smell & Silicone Hoses?

    I switched to the silicone hoses a few years ago (Roe Racing hoses). Antifreeze smell after most drives. Happy to see this thread to learn that I am not the only one with this issue. No loss of fluid, drips or any signs of seepage around any of the hose ends. Based on others experience, it...

    Where is the heat coming from??????

    I echo Tom's suggestion regarding cutting a hole under the grill on the drivers side. I did this several years ago and the heat coming out is amazing. No worries with water, been in down pours with no issues.

    Question on fan control

    I have used the Roe fan kit for the past few years......no battery issues at all. I use a Deltran Battery Tender when the car is not in use and the battery is at full charge within an hour or so after the fan has cycled on and off several times throughout the day. In fact, on long weeend drives...

    Another? GTS Crash

    I was about to pass on reading this post, but purposely opened and read it thinking it may help remind me to not get over zeolous, careless or over confident when driving the viper. This just a reminder to rest of us to drive safe and responsibly so we can enjoy our cars for a long time to...

    Speed Lingerie bra

    Have one on my car for the last 6 years 20k miles, no paint issues. If you get caught in the rain or a dusty road, best to remove it and hose the backside to remove any grit or sand. Other than that.....the front of my car looks like the day it came of the assembly line thanks to the SL bra...

    Roe Power Steering Pulley Question

    In case the Gen I owners are wondering, the pulley on the power steering pump is steel, not plastic. At least a magnet sticks to my 95 which tells me the pulley won't fail like on the Gen II's. The instructor at Viper Days highly recommends changing out the plastic pulleys before catosrophic...

    3.55s??

    Installed a 3:45 Unitrax set up rearend purchased on ebay from a fellow viper owner a couple months ago. Definitely an improvement for seat of the pants and 5th/6th gear use. You will need to install the speedo calibration unit to correct the speedometer reading. Great modification!!
