    Transporting a viper

    I used TNT Auto Transport to have a car delivered and was absolutely impressed (thanks to Jason Walsh for referring me). They seem to be reasonably priced for enclosed transport and take good care of the cars they deliver, it was ~$1200. It's not just enclosed, they call it specialty service...

    Use caution with this ebay seller of 18" wheels/tires

    Re: Use caution with this ebay seller of 18 When I was looking for wheels for my 97 GTS, I saw these. The pics were actually from an auction for a 99 Viper (I think it was a GTS) which I had seen the week before on ebay. I informed ebay Safe Harbor that the pics were taken from another...

    What's my 97 GTS worth?

    Re: What\'s my 97 GTS worth? FiskeGTS - $1599 due at signing (1st payment and security deposit). Worked out to be ~$1700 down with the tax. $799/month for 39 months, 7500 miles/year. Residual is ~$57k so I may be able to make some on the back end with the way they hold their value...worst...

    What's my 97 GTS worth?

    Re: What\'s my 97 GTS worth? Stephen - Yes, the new NSX is the reason for selling my GTS, where did you see that? I really didn't want to part with the Viper yet as it is an amazing car. But Acura's lease deal was too good to pass up..given that this car has been on my list to own for a while...

    Speedo Correction for Gears Module

    I installed a calibration box that I bought from Mike Adams and I think I have the instructions at home and can scan and email them to you later tonight. I'm not sure if yours is the same as mine or if there are any differences but for the most part it has to be the same. Cutting 1 wire from...

    Drag Racing Question

    I am going drag racing this weekend and I do not own drag wheels/tires. Would I be better off running my stock 17" wheels/tires or my 17" Purner road race wheels/BFG R1A tires. I realize that neither of these will be ideal. With the stronger sidewall on the R1A's will I have more of a hookup...

    Introducing the center console fire extinguisher mount

    Dean - Thanks for the idea. I had thought about something along those lines at one point in my R&D. In order to maintain a solid mounting point, the bracket holds both the extinguisher and vinly cover in place and is mounted in existing holes to avoid any modification to the interior (a...

    Introducing the center console fire extinguisher mount

    I have been working on a fire extinguisher mount to be used in the center console in place of the glove box door for my own GTS. I am considering making these for resale and I wanted to put this out and see if there was any interest from you guys in this product. Here are some details: <ul...

    Floor Jack

    I purchased the aluminum floor jack from Harbor Freight for less than $160 out the door at a local store. I had a $10 off coupon that could be used in a retail store only (expires today btw) and a printout of the $159 online price. My store honored the online price and gave me the additional...

    Help needed - Strange noise

    Update - no more noise: I put the car up again and checked for any play in the driveshaft and half shafts and everything was very solid (still gonna change the straps and bolts when they arrive from partsrack). Since the weather was ok here despite the forecasts...typical...I took the car out...

    Help needed - Strange noise

    Jon - I was not aware that I needed to put new bolts/straps on until I read a post you made regarding the recall and how they should not use the old stuff. I ordered them from you last week (along with Magnecore wires and plugs) and am waiting for them to arrive. I had the recall done before...

    Help needed - Strange noise

    I recently swapped out my 3.07 rear end for a 3.55 rear end and after I put my new rear end in, I am getting a strange noise that I'm not even sure is rear end related at this point (I swapped complete rear ends with someone and he was driving on his rear end up until we swapped). When I got...

    Chrome intake tube installation

    Great pics Jim! And the reason I installed mine the way I did is because I posses little (if any) patience...hahahahahaha. I agree that they are a bit long. I thought about cutting mine down just a bit to make the fit better. Seems like a good inch and a half could come off in my case and...

    Chrome intake tube installation

    Marty - I just got my chrome tubes last Wednesday and I did not remove my airbox when installing them (and boy do they add to the asthetics in the engine bay. I may have done it differently than others have though. The tubes are cut long to ensure a good seal. I put the reducers on the...

    Ebay viper scam

    ewave is right, you can get screwed in person just as easily. Although in person you at least drive away with a car, although it may only get you 1 block from the dealer before dying on you. I helped my dad buy a car off of ebay and it worked out very well. It was a dealer and they allowed...

    Can someone in Texas look at a Viper for me? Did I get a good deal??

    I'd stay clear of this guy. I just did a little research and he "sold" a 1996 boat to a buyer (dcarplace) who has 0 feedback. Dcarplace gave him positive feedback. I assume if someone didn't actually complete the purchase, they would not praise the seller regarding the transaction. Now, he...

    Prototype GTS?? Ebay...

    looking at it, my first thought is AHHHHH! When my eyes finally regain focus, i realize that the front facia is silver, off of a 98 or 99 viper...or was this DC's way of foreshadowing future colors. Kinda funny how the facia has damage since the car has never been driven too. And a 545 hp...

    Hub nut torque setting

    The only time there was play in the wheel bearings was when the driver's side hub nut was loose. I have no play in the bearings/hub with the nut only slightly tight (I put a socket on it and held the wheel with 1 hand and that was enough to make the play go away). The passenger side nut I...

    Hub nut torque setting

    Is there a torque setting for the front hub nut? I "accidentally" took off the passenger side bolt when trying to get at a broken lug stud. So I got a new nut on the way since it ate up the threads on the old one pulling it through the staked bolt. The bolt is at a machine shop now being...

    1/4 Mile Times (getting better)

    Oh yeah, one more thing - I break loose just about every time on the 1-2 shift. It felt under control, not like the last time when I drifted 2-3 feet towards the wall and nearly soiled myself. But I'm not sure how much that will affect my times. Andy
