    Hybernation ...

    Sadly, just four days (and raining) until the insurance expires and the RT goes to sleep for the winter. I have changed the oil. Filled the tank and ran with high-grade and Stabilizer. Added air in the tires. Washed down, (wax to come). Carpet under the tires. Dry unheated garage...

    Question about bearings ...

    So I have the new front bearings in the RT now and what a difference. The old had so much play in them that the brake pads were getting depressed on left turns causing the pedal to go down! The mechanic odered SKF Hub/bearing ($260) and it came without the centre shaft (with the 1 3/4" Nut)...

    Anyone know this car? (pics)

    "The owner claims he bought it that way from none other than Jay Leno" We have a local car for sale here that actually does have Wayne Gretzsky's autograph on the glove box, (I have seen it). He wants $64K for a 1994 RT/10 with 40,000kms on it. :dunno:

    Need help adjusting the hood!

    Body shop looked at it this afternoon and said the Fascia needs to be re-aligned a little. How does the fascia get out of alignment?

    Need help adjusting the hood!

    The hood closed perfectly when I bought the car this summer but has been gradually going off center and now will not close properly as it is encountering the fascia at the passenger head light. (See pic) Also the gap on the drivers side is bigger and touching on the passenger side now. It...

    Changing the battery ...

    Great info! Thanks. Regarding the lighter plug-in would hooking a battery charger to the Battery post in the engine compartment do the same thing?

    Changing the battery ...

    My battery is getting weak. Is there a thread for How to change the Battery procedure and which battery is best/stock and re-set for windows, alarm etc after disconnect? I did a search but can't find it. :dunno: I gather the battery is behind the Driver's side rear wheel? I have to...

    Front wheel bearings ...

    Looks like the front wheel bearings are the reason for my brake pedal variation, (the wheel leans on left turns pushing the pad in and then the pedal goes deeper). Question ... I have a friend who has a lift and does "back yard mechanic" work for me at times on my other vehicles. Is this job...

    Viper on Propane?

    I have had cars on propane and they run great, save me a fortune on fuel, (currently 1/3 the price of gasoline here), but a Viper on propane? Heresy or a good idea? From the AC Cobra forum ... Randy comes to Run & Gun every year since 99. He runs propane. He is also the record holder for...

    New Viper Magazine Came Today!

    Would anyone have (and be willing to sell me) the Viper Magazine for the year 2000? I would love to have that year's edition to go with my 2000 RT/10! PS: I do plan to join the VCA just as soon as I feel a little richer. :bling:

    What's the latest recognition your Viper has had?

    My wife and I had a very cool experience with a very fancy hotel in Ucluelet, (finest destination in BC). I asked at the desk if there might be covered parking snd they said there was none. Then the manager asked if that was my Viper, went outside to see it and asked me to pull it up to...

    Rear Window rubber old and cracked ...

    Thanks but none of the part numbers or links seem to work any more and I am not sure which product is best as several were mentioned. Anyone have a link to the weather stripping they recommend?

    Rear Window rubber old and cracked ...

    Anyone have any ideas about how to deal with the RT/10 rear window bottom rubber seal being old hard and cracked (looks serrated like a coarse saw blade). Is this a weather strip you order and replace?

    would you own a C5 Zo6 as your daily driver?

    I really enjoyed the vette a lot, thought it was the best car for the $$$ you could get until I met the RT/10. :) Sure don't agree with the C5 being superior in any way though.

    Brake Pedal question ...

    If your pads get knocked back so that there is a larger than normal air gap between the pads and the rotors then more movement of the brake pedal is necessary to close the gap and begin braking action. This can happen because of loose or worn components at one or more of the wheels, Bingo, I...

    Brake Pedal question ...

    Negative on sideways movement of the pedal it feels tight, just depresses too far at times. Not likely to be a boiing issue as new fluid and this happens when the car is running cold as well. Also never happened until last couple of weeks. Continuous pressure on the pedal and it stays firm...

    Brake Pedal question ...

    For the last couple of weeks there have been infrequent times when I go to brake and the pedal goes farther (sometimes much farther) toward the floor before it applies. The fluid was up but dirty so I had it flushed and changed. Pads are 35% all around and no leaks. No air in the system...

    Driving in the rain

    I am trying to decide whether to keep the car insured all winter, Vancouver gets mostly rain and very little snow, ( I do not want to drive this car in the snow ever!). Anyway I gather that even with the hard top there is likely to be water coming in during a heavy rain storm? I guess I can...
