    Well Big Medicine, then I'm pretty sure he doesn't get in trouble at all! Pretty stupid huh.

    Texas does it again... Hang'em high...

    Re: Texas does it again... Hang\'em high... Yeah, but if you get 100 points, and you pay the $, you still don't lose your licence right? That's what I mean by "buy em back". Over here, you get 12 points in any 3 year period, you lose it. They hand them out in 3's, 4's and 6's mostly. About...

    Texas does it again... Hang'em high...

    Re: Texas does it again... Hang\'em high... What the hell??? Does that mean the 7 series BMW is illegal? Or is it only if you can watch tv/dvd etc? Hey, at least you can buy your points back.

    182 MPH and Got Busted!

    Over here in our police state, you can lose your DRIVER'S licence while sitting in the PASSENGER seat. Two cases I have heard of were: 1. Passenger with his arm out the window 2. Passenger in car doing donut Then the police appear on tv saying "It's only a matter of time until they kill...

    Rotational Mass Calculations -- How much of a difference?

    OK I started calculating it, and was looking for some wheel weight examples, and found a spreadsheet a guy made with it all done already. You can put in the numbers for your wheels, and the Viper, and see the effects. http://www.siscom.net/~welter/racing/rotational.xls My numbers showed about...

    Rotational Mass Calculations -- How much of a difference?

    Ugh. See this is what you get when you type something when trying to figure out why your power steering is busted. Yep, you're perfectly right of course; I had the dyno on my mind as I was looking at one earlier.

    Rotational Mass Calculations -- How much of a difference?

    The rotational mass savings mainly benefits your rear wheels. It means your engine doesn't have to spin up as huge a pair of flywheels every time you accelerate. Give me a couple of hours til I finish my PS pump and I will try and do a few calculations to show you the effect. What you really...

    Fuel Pump - any ideas?

    Is it just the wiring connector you need to match? I don't know exactly what the Viper pump looks like, but have used a few Walbro GSS341s for Toyotas and Lexuses. Good intank pump, and the "high pressure" version flows even better. Sometimes they whine a bit though, but I hear MVP Motorsports...

    Offroad experience in the viper.

    Heh heh, oh well, at least that "first one" was an easy one for you. At 19 I got my pride knocked down a few notches when I spun my dad's truck into a fence. That first humbling one is all it takes. I'm 25, and because of that first one six years ago, I still realise I know nothing :) Good...

    SANDHILLS 1 MILE SHOOTOUT AND O.R.R. BY SVS

    I agree. If they can run 25psi at 240mph+, why would they be "worried it's going to fall apart" if they ran over 7? Jr has said it's the same engine.. regardless if it was a new engine, I don't see them showing up to a race with something that they are afraid will blow up past a measly 7psi...

    Excellent!! What are you using for ping detection? Is this running right on the edge of pinging?

    Grand tourismo 3 challenge

    Gary, yeah.. sorry, I meant the 5 component VGA input.. I don't have a 3 component input board for my projector.. got a 3 gun Sony. Might have to run out and buy the board! The projector can squish the picture down to about 80 inch, which is what I usually do with PS1 games.. have you tried the...

    Grand tourismo 3 challenge

    Dang it, I'll have to go get my PS2 fixed. Over here the batch I got, they all seemed to die within 6 months (dead laser or something) and I haven't bothered to get it fixed. Been playing GT1 and GT2 forever.. favourite games. GT3 being different, I just sorta rejected it.. maybe I should start...

    Grand tourismo 3 challenge

    Anyone used to play GT1 and GT2 and Playstation 1? I tried the Viper out on GT3 and it just didn't seem like the game steered and went as good as the old ones did. On the old ones I could hang it out all the way round the corners, dial in a touch of opposite to keep it there... took a lot of...

    Power Steering Cap Fire

    Does it unscrew or just pop off? If it unscrews I would lockwire it.. looks kinda messy though I guess.

    Vipermed airbox and ice =scary power

    Cop Magnet, That's not correct. This is not a simple case of "engine creates power for A/C, A/C creates power for engine". The power gain is due to the air being made more dense - the engine can draw more in, and combine it with the chemical energy in the fuel, which is what is used by the...

    Vipermed airbox and ice =scary power

    Yep... if liquid oxygen touches grease/oil etc it can ignite easily. Got any grease in your car? ;) The concentration required for fire to go ape sh!t is apparently pretty low - like 25 to 30%. So that little bit of greasy residue in your intake manifold from the PCV could make your car go...

    He crossed the center and you beat a 6 sec Pro Street car. Congrats! (Must have been your secret Ford Juice that did it)

    I just bought the only Viper in Finland and have some Q:s

    Don't have any help on the car, but congratulations! Your car is the one out of Da Rude's Feel the Beat video? Cooool! Down here, that still gets played occasionally on MTV, which is always on at the gym. When it comes on, I stop what I am doing, stand and stare at your sweet RT10. That's...
