    Skip Barber Instructors

    Fred, To the best of my knowledge, I don't know you, and haven't met you. Please don't take my challenge of your opinion as an attack of your character. That being said, consider the following points: You state: "It also sounds like there were some contract employees not from the regular...

    Skip Barber Instructors

    Interesting to read other people's opinions. Mine is the similar. Not a single instructor asked me how much experience I have driving, and they all pretty much assumed I was an rich idiot in a overpowered sports car and that this was my FIRST lap on the track. I had some really good...

    Dodge Viper Thermal Insulation kits now available

    These sound like a great idea, and I don't dispute your needing to charge this much for the product. Here is some price feedback anyway. I'd be interested in a pair of header heat shields at about 1/3 the price- $300 for the pair. Actually this is about the same for the remaining parts. at...

    OK, fess up! Who got the biggest ticket through VOI??????

    I left VOI at 9:30am on Sunday traveling west on I40. There were cops ALL over the place! I almost got shot twice with Instant On from the opposite lane during the first 80 miles. In each case when my V1 went off I slammed on the brakes, and was getting passed on the inside. Each time time I...

    MGW gear shift too short?

    I've got a ripper shifter installed. My original gear shift knob was hideously worn after 69K miles, so I bought one of the MGW shifters. The problem is that the MGW shift knob is so short that I can't get the leverage that I need to shift gears reliably, and reverse is now a TWO handed...

    computer learning and plugged cats?

    I'm not an expert on this, but I do have an opinion. Unless the cat is blocked, it shouldn't have any effect on how the computer meters the fuel to the car: There are two sets of Oxygen sensors per side of the vehicle. The first one on the exhaust manifold is monitored by the computer to fine...

    Is Mobile One 15W50 OK in a Viper?

    Thanks for the opinions! I guess I'll leave in in there until it gets below 32 def F. (Not Likely in Texas...)

    Is Mobile One 15W50 OK in a Viper?

    OK, So I'm a moron! I'm used to changing the oil in my 911 Turbo, and I always use 15W50 Synthetic Mobile One. Not thinking, I used the same in my Viper. The manual says to use 10W-30. Do I need to drain this and replace my 15W-50 with 10W-30 or am I OK? Any opinions??? Thanks! Paul

    New Exhaust sound sso much better- Borla

    Well I just finally fixed the exhaust on my Viper. After going almost deaf with headers, high flow cats and a set of bullet mufflers in the rear with a cross over tube- This car was obscenely loud. It basically sounded like no muffler at all, and it was impossible to talk in the car at any...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    After being absent for 8 weeks, I thought I'd check out what was going here. I was hoping hear that the SRT-10 had been canceled or redesigned. No change = thumbs down.

    High Idle / Stalling Problem on 98 GTS

    Tim, Does the car do this all the time, or is it an intermittent problem? If it does it all the time, then using a OBDII tool your tech should be able to look at all the engine parameters and figure out what's going on even if the check engine light is not on. If it's intermittent, then...

    I need serious advice regarding titling issue ->

    In Texas when you purchase a vehicle, you have to pay 6.25% State sales tax. The tax is paid to the Tax Collectors office which is part of the DMV at the time that you title the car. Now the law, (IMHO) is really screwed up. This has to do with when you purchase a vehicle that you were...

    huh? i just did the cags mod and now...

    Are you sure about the 2.2K value? Sounds like way to high of a resistance value... I'd expect something in the 50 to 200 ohm range. Have you measured the resistance of the solenoid?

    OBDII code readers

    I have experience with the Ease Diagnostics Chrysler OBD II Scan Tool, and their generic one on my 97 GTS. The generic one was very slow to update- perhaps 2 to 3 times a second. The one that is specific to the Chrysler protocol is much faster, approximately 10+ times per second. The update...

    Steering Rack Toe Pattern Shims

    Oh the joys of owning a used car worked on by an incompetent mechanic... While tracking down a slight amount of play in the steering of my Viper I noticed that I could move the power steering rack up and down about 1/8 of an inch. Turns out some careless mechanic neglected to replace the two...

    Thanks everyone for all the enthusiasm! For the first time in MONTHS I haven't been on the VCA site every 10 minutes checking to see if there were new comments... I was actually out driving my car all day. Imagine that! I can't get anything past you guys: Yeah, I didn't put the wheel caps on...

    Bob Lutz Gives"Thumbs Down" to the SRT/10!!!!!

    Re: Bob Lutz Gives\"Thumbs Down\" to the SRT/10!!!!! Wayne, I agree with you. I do have one question though: If you think it sucks so much, why are you using the 2003 SRT-10 logo for your avatar?(!)
