    Road Racers, will I pass the Laguna Seca sound test????

    Hey Ron, Typically you need to short shift to 4th and peddle the car up the hill. If you've done 'anything' to the stock exhaust, you will not be able to run T5-T6 WOT in 3rd gear when they have their 90 and 92db limits imposed. (For the record, the street exhaust limit is 93 in CA, yes the...

    MGW gear shift too short?

    Hey Paul, I installed this shift knob last spring. I was bummed by how low the shifter was, I mean the bottom on the knob was below the console, but I didn't have a problem shifting it. I fixed it with a coupling nut, a bolt with the head cut off and some locktight for like $3 in parts. I...

    Thunderhill: Gavin & JoeB

    No fears boys, the relay is on (and the smack-talkin with the mustang guys continues). SoCal Reb posted the note, but basically we are going to run config 13 clockwise and it sounds like they will run the relay on Saturday. I'm lobbying for two Viper teams, but have no confirmation on this...

    free length of Gen2 rear spring

    OK, my bad, apologies to Joe -- seems I need to check my viper techs info before I go spouting my mouth off.

    free length of Gen2 rear spring

    Hey Joe, No disrespect intended, but are you sure that's a rear spring from a genII viper you're looking at? I'm pretty sure there isn't 12 1/2 inches between spring perches even with the suspension fully unloaded. Either that or they changed the design pretty radically in 01 . . . peace,

    Thunderhill: Gavin & JoeB

    I do think a 'qualifying session' is the right way to earn a spot on the official buttonwillow viper relay team, just cause you have hoosiers doesn't mean you're automatically in. (and Luc, mum is the word back to the shelby club about the fine group we're assembling here. . . shhhhhh)

    Thunderhill: Gavin & JoeB

    Hey! Good running with you guys at Thunderhill this weekend. You guys did an awesome job of showing the greenflag regulars what the viper is all about. Awesome driving in the 2:09-2:10s, but it's just a bit too bad there were only 4 Vipers. Clearly as a group the Vipers were the class of...

    MtHam ACR where are you

    Hey Gav, No grief man, I was busy. I mean us recently divorced types don't have a regular squeeze like you married guys. You've got to cut a guy some slack if he can find time for vipers and P***y in the same week. I can't find the most recent specs, these are from July (the alignment I had...

    Brakeman 3's

    Re: Brakeman 3\'s Hey Jonathan, Hows it going man? Good to hook up with you at Viperdays. Anyway, what JonB says is crucial here. Bed the brakes properly and it will help a ton. I had this problem with Hawk Blues on the stock rotors. Put a new set of Stoptech rotors on at...

    EBC Green Brake Squeek

    Are you guys chamfering the leading edges of the pads? I noticed the stock rear pads have a 45-deg relief. Maybe there's something to that?

    When should I RE-align my car for the track??

    Hey Ron, how's it going? Are you running the sport-shims removed? They're supposed to be good for another -1 deg camber. I was told no re-alignment was required, pop them in, pop them out, no worries. My alignment guy had a different opinion though. He aligned the car then I removed the...

    I think Skip Thomas said we had ~37 off-track (4 wheels off) excursions at Buttonwillow last weekend -- no collisions or damage, which he noted was unusual. A porsche did come real close to stuffing it into the wall but managed to wrestle a save. One could see where 1 or 2 cars could sustain...

    New Exhaust sound sso much better- Borla

    Paul, what did you do about cats? They're still in your sig, but I'm guessing this is where your new borlas are now? Are the bullets still in the rear or did you delete them? How does the heat build-up with the muffler compare to the cats in the side sills?
