    Valve issue and used 2003 engine

    Yeah, it's out of a wreck. I've already made the deal and will put a deposit today or Monday, but I need to find somebody around Phoenix who will go have a look and verify it doesn't have damage (supposedly undamaged) and that it starts. I haven't asked the guy for the VIN yet, but I imagine he...

    First time roadracing with the Viper!!

    Isn't it great? My first time *solo* was this past May (previously I'd been out with instructors). I think it might be the most addicting thing I've ever encountered. I personally like 30lbs front & rear, but I think most folks run a higher pressure up front to help with steering, as...

    Valve issue and used 2003 engine

    I am considering purchasing a 2003 Viper engine for a project. This is the engine only. What should I look for on the engine itself to determine whether I should check with DC to see if the valve problem exists and/or has been fixed? Would the engine S/N be sufficient? Do they still put the VIN...

    I've heard of going too far, but apparently the board filter actually filters URLs, too. Pyscho. Those images have the following URL: /images/graemlins/smilielol.gif"]http://[******]/images/graemlins/smilielol.gif I don't know what the *****s are hiding, but at least the forces of Anality have...

    Dodge Viper or Mercedes - "All American" car ???

    Re: Dodge Viper or Mercedes - It isn't about where the plants are, it's about where the money goes. When the cash leaves these shores, do you think it's coming back? "Klaus, I'm havink a krraving for der Wal-Mart shoppink spree..." NOT.

    Sorta. He kept the Viper for several months and spent quite a bit on modifications -- then discovered his long-time friend and business partner had been stealing from their jointly-owned business on the side (as I understand the situation anyway), and he was suddenly flat broke and out of...

    Has anyone dealt with...

    Chuck, there is a bike shop up the road from my house that sells Motul 600. You can order a case for something really cheap -- I forget the exact price, but it comes to something like $25/liter or quart or whatever size Motul comes in. Personally I've been happy with el cheapo Valvoline so far...

    Picture of Viper Fire

    Brand new 2001 RT/10, which he'd just traded his fairly new yellow Z06 in for (after much prompting from yours truly). About 10 miles down the road, his friend comments on a weird smell. They pull off the highway at about 12 miles, and immediately fireballs shoot out of the side vents. They...

    What Do You Think??????

    Heck, we drove to VOI with the spare in the trunk, and drove back with all the freebie VOI junk in there. If we can do it, you can do it. There is enough room, you just have to stash creatively. I'd be willing to bet my wife took a hell of a lot more clothing, shoes, and other junk than you and...

    roe fan kit

    This is always a controversial question. There are certain people here who will insist it doesn't do any good. All I can say is, go stand next to a hot Viper when that thing kicks in, and fifteen seconds later you'll be whipping out your checkbook. It's cheap, it certainly doesn't do any harm...

    The VEC1 destroyed my marriage, killed my parents, and drank all my beer! Help!

    So many posts about trailers, but what about 2 car trailers?

    That would be one heck of a trailer. We recently towed a 28' trailer from Florida to Kentucky and back, and while we didn't really have any major problems, that's a LOT of trailer -- and it wasn't big enough for two cars. My truck is pretty big (2500 heavy duty V10 Ram, 6870 lbs unloaded, our...

    Post your favorite pic of your Viper :)

    LOL I'll believe it when I see it. I know the Winghouse mileage you get with your battle scars.

    Things NOT Associated With Chuck:

    I think it'll be more shocking when DC has to replace all the seals under warranty because they've harded up after 11 years of disuse.

    Where can I purchase a Shop Manual for my Viper?

    http://www.techauthority.daimlerchrysler.com They have all the manuals (service, diagnostic, owners, body, etc.). The service manual is about $90 and I believe you can get a VCA discount if you call instead of using the website.

    Brake Assist on Gen 1 cars? These brakes suck!

    LOL Nothing like comparing an 8+ year old car to a Z06... "My ZR-1 sure does whip up on those Deloreans..." :laugh:

    Post your favorite pic of your Viper :)

    Such a great combo... Chuck and I can't help but comment on that every time I feel the need to visit Ye Olde Winghouse.

    Mathematics, your airbox, and you..

    I wasn't aware of the radiator spill issue, that's very interesting. I thought you meant the duct itself was losing part of the intake charge (which is what happens when you shorten or significantly smooth/round-off a NACA duct's walls). I'm also not saying whether the duct is or isn't big...

    Mathematics, your airbox, and you..

    I've done quite a bit of research on NACA ducts lately (including "doing the math" on a wide variety of shapes, depths, ramp angles, divergence rates, and so on), and I'd be very surprised if the duct allows air to be sucked out. I'm not saying it helps at all -- a NACA duct doesn't have...

    A couple of very large images... Mine in the driveway on the day of delivery, with a bit of Photo Shop freakery to de-emphasize the background: http://www.mindmagma.com/viper/ViperStandOut.JPG And Dan Black's contribution to the 2002 calendar: http://www.mindmagma.com/viper/vca/GTSACRSC2.jpg...
