    Oops...87 octane

    I'm not sure if this applies to other states, but here in Virginia it's almost impossible to find any octane booster that actually has lead in it. Something tells me the EPA is at fault there so it's probably a national issue. Octane boosters in this country are based on sodium which has it's...

    Will Hennessey Vipers Become Collectors Items?

    Hmmm...We're talking about 25 years in the future so is the Callaway argument valid? Didn't Callaway start in the late 80's? If so, maybe we're not seeing the real impact on those prices yet. Going back a little further, wouldn't the Hennessey Viper be more comparable to the Yenko Camaros or...

    Audio Problems -Door Speakers Not Working

    Just contributing another possibility... I had a problem with the actual power plug on one of my amps. I had to make a special tool, remove the wires from the plug, snip off some of the wire and re-solder the pins and re-assemble the plug. About a two hour job. It probably doesn't make a...

    Vandalism....by sand!

    For those who may be wondering, the sand came off using a little vacuuming and gentle rinsing. There were no scratches that I could see and everything is fine now. I was really worried when I tried to rinse off the last film-like coating from the sand and the water had NO effect. A little...

    Vandalism....by sand!

    I just went out to the parking garage at my girlfriend's college (Gallaudet) and found that someone has dumped a bucket of sand over top of my '94 Viper. Asking around we found out that it's been that way since at least 2:00 this afternoon. It's a very very fine sand (about the consistency of...

    Removal of Seat Back Cushion???

    Ok...so removing the seat backs is easy. Putting them back on is a BEAR! I'll write more when I figure it out. There has GOT to be a special tool that the factory uses do get the seat frame back into the clips. Anyone?

    Removal of Seat Back Cushion???

    I know this is an old thread but... I just did this a few minutes ago on my '94 RT/10. First, it's a very easy procedure and second, you don't need any tools at all to do it. Simply grab the bottom of the seat cushion near the side-bolster support and push it towards the center of the seat...

    Very Important-Virus ?

    The problem here is that the new viruses (Klez and Nimda in particular) "spoof" their from addresses. That is, the address that your e-mail software says the e-mail is from is not really where it came from. It gets the e-mail addresses to use for that spoofing by looking through .htm and .html...

    Viruses

    Actually Janni, the Klez virus (and probably most new viruses from now on) will collect e-maill addresses from .html files located on the user's hard drive. This means that just visiting this board with an infected machine and seeing someone's address (it stays in the cache) will cause that...

    EMAIL VIRUS...............................

    The Klez virus is actually very crafty. It takes e-mail addresses from .html and other types of files it finds on the user's hard disk. This means that if anyone happens to have some leftover htmls from this site in their cache, the virus will find the files and get every e-mail address it can...

    Any 96 RT/10s Have failed head gaskets?

    I will state for the record that, though not a '96, my '94 started having the leaking head gasket problem. I re-torqued the heads myself (not a big deal) and the problem is 100% gone so far. --Rob

    VA, MD, DC Zaino guy

    I just had a tremendous experience with Dave Rose, the Zaino distributor in my area (Northern Virginia) and thought I'd spread the word a little. I called him on a Friday afternoon and asked if he had a complete set of Zaino products that I could go by his house and buy so I could have my car...

    What a Heap, Total Waste of $$$

    Wait a second guys... Let's be honest for a minute. The one on e-bay isn't that far off. The nose seems to point up too much, the sportsbar is too wide and the side sills are all wrong but other than that it's pretty close. The tail looks identical. Ok, the interior is butt ugly. Now the...

    Brakes Pull

    I have a '94 RT with about 35K miles on it and it's just started developing a brake pull problem. I've already switched out the front pads for green EBCs and had the front rotors turned by a race-experienced machine shop but the problem persists. I've also looked at all the rear pads and...

    Rt guys !! Bikini top !

    Actually I've been considering this too. Here's an idea: Is it possible to build an accordion-like top like the Porsche that bolts on in place of the front section of the sport bar cover? That would be the ultimate in convenience. It starts raining, you reach up and pull the top closed. I...

    Deaf owners/significant others?

    I'm working out my plans for VOI and my g/f is curious if there are any other deaf owners or S/Os out there. I'm not deaf but she is and we'd be interested in meeting up with any other deaf couples or individuals. Even if you're not going to attend VOI, drop a line on here or e-mail me at...

    2 people die in Viper in Audi Uphill race

    Well, now that the "saftey equipment is important" point has come up, is there really ANY safety equipment short of a parachute that would have helped them in a 250 foot drop into a ravine? Let's be honest, yes the Viper (especially the RT/10) is considerably more dangerous than many of the...

    The K&N debate.

    Oh yeah...the reason I didn't have the clamps is that JonB just happened to be out of them. I told him not to worry about it and picked them up at NAPA. One thing I forgot to mention is that in another thread supporting the idea of grinding the airbox, the author mentioned that the K&Ns had...

    The K&N debate.

    I installed K&Ns in my '94 yesterday after having read all of the posts about it on the board and, frankly, worrying a little. One of the big advantages of the K&N upgrade is that it's completely reversible without any permanent changes to the car required. However, some time ago someone...

    Has anyone had there RT rained in????

    When I bought my RT/10 I noticed that the child car seat belt was a little wet. When I got it home I found out why. It had about 2 inches of water under each seat. The carpets itself was almost submersed. Apparently the idiot dealer left it outside with the hard top on it (which doesn't seal...
