    Clutch question on RT 10

    ....And your so close to Tomball (ben Keatings shop).... I promise they know how to do it. FWIW: If you do replace the master/slave cylinders - save the old ones, they can be rebuilt for $20-30 each (typical rebuild kit cost), then sell the "rebuilts" on VCA and recoup some of your $400...

    Help!!!! Emissions Issue?

    Since we do not use cats down here I'm not sure how PETA is dealing with the use of them in CO - JK :) Instead of buying new hi-flows, just install your stock ones if you still have them, or borrow stockers from someone close by. Anything stock is so restrictive to meet the EPA warm-up time...

    how much for a clutch??

    FWIW: You may want to consider replacing the $20 rear main seal while you're in there. Maybe even the trans input & output shaft seals as well. You've already paid to pull the trans out, might as well spend another $100 and save headaches & oil leaks down the road. Pilot & throw out bearings...

    looking at a 96 and 97 b/w gts...

    Isn't there something about the `96's being the only ones where the stripes continue into the license plate area where the `97's have a break in the stripes. I know the guys with the 96's are very proud of this (and should be IMO - looks darn cool). BTW: this should be the very last point to...

    Strange Coolant temp behavior.

    A few difference between the Gen1 & 2. My Gen1 did this until I filled the front tank - stopped immediately. In my experiences, a sharp almost instentaneous spike in temp is steam hitting the sending unit (air). And usually it goes away almost as fast as it comes on once water starts making...

    Selling the RT

    Too many choices Marty! et. al. Found those NM trip photos. I do have to retract my statement about NOT having any problems on the trip. The 2009 ACR did have a slight issue in Roswell. Some how the pad material on the inside parking brake pad fell off & was gone. Noticed a very faint...

    Selling the RT

    jdeft, I hear you on the reliability with modded cars. This car is a bit of an anomoly, I picked it up from Marty in Chicago & drove it all 1200 miles to San Antonio without a single hick-up (got rained on all the way to MO - found out Gen1's repel water like a screen door...lots of towels)...

    Yep...the torque is an addiction. How's the roll-up windows working out (GTS) - still loving it?

    Selling the RT

    From anothe post I made: "My wife is in my ear, 3rd baby on the way, 7 other hotrods in the garage & this is the one most likely to kill me. " I guess this is part of that whole marriage/compromise thingy. I've had my Flathead V8 fund siezed until I "compromise"...

    New Guy Question

    jav8or Don't know where you are located, regardless, find a VCA reputable shop. Have them do the inspection. There is always that deal that's "too good to be true". You appear to have cash in hand - best place to be as a buyer & thus you have NO excuse to get in a hury and snap up the 1st...

    That's more like it, a GEN1 on the bay for a bin 45k

    That's more like it, a GEN1 on the bay for a bin 45k

    Going to try. I'll be solo or with one of the boys if I go. The round-up is always right when I'm signing contracts for the year, so if I'm not drunk in an airport (yes, I'm that guy), I'll stretch the ACR's legs a bit.

    That's more like it, a GEN1 on the bay for a bin 45k

    I think they do that in Louisiana, we wait until they are in grade school in TX :) The Hp is a byproduct with a Roe, the Torque is the widow maker (dyno sheet is showing 720 at 2k rpm) `99, I still struggle to this day on painting the wing (6 nuts and it pops off) - It's not painted...

    Selling the RT

    Modifying the ads now - what do you mean everyone doesn't inherently know how awesome this car is :) Between Marty & myself this has got to be the best Gen1 presently available. Absolutely everything has been done. When I picked up the car outside of Chicago I drove it home to San Antonio -...

    That's more like it, a GEN1 on the bay for a bin 45k

    I knew I'd hear grumblings about the price. I'll modify the add today with the "guts". This is probably one of the top 10 quickest Gen1's in existence & really does not need to go to an entry level Viper buyer looking for a $23k Gen1 deal. I've been communicating with folks on about the add and...

    Selling the RT

    I'll post the spec list today. I found my "as tuned" dyno sheet numbers are actually 670/760 with present tuning - ill get that scanned into the ad. As Dow what's next? Who knows. I'm elbows deep in lotus transaxles presently - my drop in replacement from the UK is more like split the case and...

    Selling the RT

    Ad is approved - thx mods! Looking at the comment - let me clarify 660Hp/780Tq. WIth a Roe you going to get close to 700Hp but the Tq will be over 800. Talking with the guys at ART - living in TX, we decided to pull timing and all but eliminate the water/meth which dropped the power to the...

    Selling the RT

    Waiting on the ad to be approved. PM me if your interrested. Only mod that I didn't get around to was the KW V2 Coil overs. Everything else is done. Detuned to the 660/780 range.

    Time to sell the Gen 1? Ya'lls Thoughts?

    Those buyers are out there. I know Marty had his for sale for a long time, even before I was in the market to buy. I don't think he even had it listed when I was looking for "that car" - letting the add cool off or something. I just happened to want exactly what he had (mods, HP, etc.)...

    Time to sell the Gen 1? Ya'lls Thoughts?

    A car that clean with those miles.... I don't believe it. I cannot but a car without some sort of dirt and road wear on it.... Sorry Ryan, it's simply too clean for me. But I want all your accessories - I'll trade you a kidney or a lung for them.

    668rwhp 730 torque roe sc gts. What gears should I go with?

    You guys are nuts - I'm running close to those power levels...ok a tad bit more and sitting with the stock 3.07 and have upgraded to the 19" rear wheels - that being said I can break the loose easily in 4th at over 100 (so I've been told) on sport cups. Maybe i am an exception. But if you are...
