    Has anyone had issues with their Gen 1's Clutch pedal?

    Just did this last year. My Gen I also showed no signs of fluid anywhere but I did add fluid occasionally. Be careful because at some point it can get an air bubble and then refuse to work at all. (It did that to me ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM!) The slave cylinder is a pain to...

    I'm near this. Did you want someone to go look at it for you?

    Jay Leno's Garage

    Halfway through the Lotus Elan video, they put it up on a rack to look underneath. Does anyone know what the silver exotic is behind them? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

    If the death of the Viper is true how will it effect GEN I and GEN II owners?

    Did you really mean to call the DOA SOBs or just that guy from DeLorean One?

    I ran into a Lamborghini Diablo VT

    BK meet in Manassas? When? Which BK? There's a cruise-in every Friday evening at a Chik Fil A in Ashburn but didn't know about Manassas.

    ? Anyone Know How to Contact RobHook ?

    I'm still around Richard. I'd decided that my mod, since it also is involved with the brake pedal, introduces too much personal liability for me to publish. I know, it sucks, but welcome to the modern age of the American liability landscape. --Rob

    Anyone ever use one of these contraption to pull an engine?

    Don't worry about it ab. I know you didn't mean it to sound shiity. It's too bad they had to get rid of that design. I always thought it was really cool to be able to just drop the engine that way. Kinda reinforced their (Ferrari's) assertion that the street cars used racecar-like...

    Anyone ever use one of these contraption to pull an engine?

    Well, this was back in the 80's. I know for a fact that the Testarossa is this way. You CAN take them out from the top but it ends up being easier to remove it from the bottom, assuming you have a lift. I have no direct experience with Lamborghinis but every time I've seen an engine taken out...

    Anyone ever use one of these contraption to pull an engine?

    Be aware that on many Ferraris (and probably Lamborghinis), you remove a subframe from the car from underneath to remove the engine. The engine and transmission come out with the rear wheels still attached and you can even attach small "front" wheels and roll the entire assembly around out of...

    99 GTS on e-bay

    There are 91 possible VIN combinations that would come up with the correct check digit. Since the VIN's production segment starts with 505xxx, and there obviously weren't over half a million Vipers made that year, I assume Dodge (or even Chrysler) mixes VIN serial numbers among all of its...

    Tapping Noise

    Syn, My car has recently developed the a tapping noise in the same area. Using a mechanic's stethascope (a great tool, btw), I found that it was the fuel injectors. Check that before you tear it down any further. Also, if it's an exhaust leak, you can probably feel it. Probe around with...

    Viper as advertising space

    Actually, I already thought of this a few years ago. It's very difficult to get businesses to agree to the advertisements without being able to tell them exactly where and when the car will be driven. I guess they think you're going to park the car and charge them for the ads anyway. Then you...

    Rotor resurfacing...do I have to?

    Two things: I've probably seen 500 warped rotors. Some so bad you could see it with the naked eye. What was this guy talking about? If you really want the rotors done right, take them to a machine shop and have them turned then have the non-directional surface applied like they're supposed...

    Can you shim the throwout bearing? - new clutch issues

    Actually, the clutch system on the Viper is very hard to bleed. I used a pressure system on mine and it STILL wouldn't bleed completely. I let it sit for a few days without touching the clutch and it eventually bled itself. What you really need is a pressure-bleed system. I have one but...

    What is AMSOIL ?

    Actually, one thing that I was interested in a while back was the Amsoil bypass oil filter. From what I've heard, it slowly filters your oil (seperate from the supply lines) such that even the smallest impurities are caught in the spiral core filter. Oil that's been in the car for several...

    Differences in GEN 1 OEM Windows?

    If I'm not mistaken, the OEM windows changed several times and in several ways. The first change was to a different material. I think the newer material is a darker black. I know because I have two sets of windows and they're very different. Then I think there was a later change from the...

    89' RT/10 Concept

    Re: 89\' RT/10 Concept I can't help but wonder if it would be possible to route the headers in such a way that it replicates the "pipes sticking out of the gill" look of VM-02. Think it would roast the hood paint?

    both front speakers dead?!?

    This isn't too uncommon on 94's and probably all GEN I's. Mine did the same thing. There are two common causes but they're both related to the plug that supplies power to the amp. The amps need both supply power (accessory) and a signal from the head unit to tell them to power up (remote)...

    Need paint code or match for Gen. 1 interior Gray fuzzy paint?

    Reaching way back in memory here, the "fuzzy" part of the dash's paint is actually a seperate foam-like product that is applied to the dash and then painted over. Anything with solids that big would never make it through a paint gun in the first place. We could probably match the color easily...

    interesting RT/10

    Actually, I like it and would like to see more pictures, especially of the TVR-style hood. Lots of people here don't like heavily modified Vipers. To each their own. I like the sport bar look better than this but that certainly doesn't make this one "fugly". --Rob
