    Brake Rotor Finish: Zinc Wash or High Temp Paint?

    What are your opinions on the longevity of zinc washing versus paint on a brake rotor? I see VHT makes a brake caliper and rotor application high temp paint. I am wondering if this is maybe better than the zinc wash? In all my previous cars the c/d rotors I have had that were zinc washed have...

    California Emissions

    I hate to break it to you, but the 7500 rule DOES too still exist... Quote from the DMV website at www.dmv.ca.gov: "California residents are prohibited from importing, purchasing, or leasing a new vehicle from another state, unless the vehicle was manufactured for sale in California and...

    Venom 650R at Barrett-Jackson Auction

    I thought the Motor Trend cover car was an 850R? A twin turbo, it was red if I remember correctly...

    What kind of battery

    Optima Red Top 75/35. No more mess. I spent 4 hours cleaning up my battery tray and repainting it, including all the fastners in that area. It was a rusty, corroded mess in there. There was no way I was putting my old battery back in or getting another one that could leak. The Optima fit in...

    Doing new rotors/ pads and springs, any tips?

    John, Thanks that is exactly what as looking for. Jeff, Thanks again, I think most spring compressors will fit in between the coils, they don't appear to be too tight.

    Doing new rotors/ pads and springs, any tips?

    Thanks for the info Jeff. I was going to ask, what should my shock adjustments be after installing the eibachs, and how are they adjusted? I plan on using a craftsmen spring compressor or maybe one of those hydralic ones like I see from time to time on the forum.

    Doing new rotors/ pads and springs, any tips?

    I am planning on starting the installation of my new cross drilled brake rotors, new pads, and new Eibach springs this weekend. I planned on doing all of it at the same time, while I have it up in the air. Probably start with the springs and work my way out. I also plan to detail everything out...

    Optima Battery question

    That's strange to hear all of your responses... I just finished installing my 75/35 red top and it fit like a glove, no modification whatsoever. I even left the plastic caps on that cover the upper unused mounts. I guess I was lucky.

    California Emissions

    Even if a car does not have CA emissions, 7500 miles is the cut off. Under 7500 miles DMV considers it a new car, under which it must have the CA emissions requirements. I'm not sure about the Gen I cars, but my '99 and newer were all 50 state cars...

    Anyone need an Underhood Pad?

    I have an extra Underhood Pad off of my '99. It is in pretty good shape, a little dingy but otherwise nice. It is taking up space in my garage, and I was wondering if anyone would like it for their car, if they have a damaged one that needs replacing. $20 obo and it's yours, catch is you have to...

    Wheel clear coat pealing

    In most cases a chip occurs on the wheel somewhere, either from a rock chip or from the owner, like when putting lugs back on or using a wrench near the lugs area. Sometimes when a shop mounts a tire to the wheel. The wheels are highly polished beneath the clear coat which gives them a...

    Viper Window Sticker Question?

    Someone told me you could get the original window sticker from DC. But this is not true. Even Chuck Tator mentioned I could, but I called on several occasions and the people I spoke to at DC said no way. Luckily I found my original one in a stack of papers that was sent to me by the seller some...

    anyone have pic's with 18" forgelines ?

    Re: anyone have pic\'s with 18 Cool. Man I love that picture in your signature. Who says Vipers don't have cup holders...? You can easily hold several soda cans on the rear lip of your rim (when your car is sitting still anyway). ;)

    anyone have pic's with 18" forgelines ?

    Re: anyone have pic\'s with 18 Hey SapphireGTS, Is your car lowered? I like the look of those 18" forgelines and you can't beat the price. If I could convice my wife I need a set right now, I would be buying a set of WC3's.

    Anyone machining Purner center caps w/ logos?

    Since my Z06 I have always been a big HRE fan, but I love the 8 split spoke Purner 19" wheels (even more than the 5 split spoke) and their price. The only thing I don't really like is the simple center cap with nothing on it. I was wondering if CCW offers an etched or tooled version of their...

    2001 yellow/black GTS on eBay warning......

    You're kidding right? I mean let's take a poll of people who have actually been dropped from their insurance company. You have to be one heck of a career bad driver, and that in itself requires a certain degree of talent. At the very least I can understand your insurance premium going up. You...

    2001 yellow/black GTS on eBay warning......

    Exactly my point, how could someone do "a lot" of front end damage to the car and not involve an insurance company, or better yet, avoid a police report. Maybe it went something like this... Rich Viper owner says to wife, "Well honey I just wrecked the Viper, quick go get the truck we'll...

    2001 yellow/black GTS on eBay warning......

    I was going to say, it looks prety darn clean to me. The dude even claims $5,000 carfax accuracy, apparently not wrecked enough to make it a salvage, or even have been reported on carfax. I mean, cars do get wrecked, I know we all would love for this not to happen, but for those who can't...

    Oh my god!

    Actually that hole where the side exhaust used to exit would be an awesome place for a rear brake duct. Kinda like a Z06. That is what it reminded me of in the Startech picture anyway.

    Anyone have a factory airbox they want to part with?

    I noticed the other day that I am missing one of the rubber grommets from the under side of the inlet portion to my factory air box. Not only that but I also have a crack near one of the metal clips on the same air box piece where some one tried to force it on. Anyone have a factory air box...
