    Should i pull the trigger on this car? PICS INSIDE

    I'm gonna go against the grain here. Have it checked out by a good Viper tech. If it checks out, and everything else is what you want, HT vert, color, year and so on, buy it. That also depends on some other things. Are you the type that is willing to put some work into it over time that will...

    Wet Sanding?????

    Absolutely correct!!! DO NOT WET SAND YOUR CAR. The ONLY time a cars paint should be wet sanded is immediately following a new paint job, and if you get a good painter that knows what he's doing, it's not necessary then either. When you buff your car with a rotary and an abrasive you are...

    Whoohoo - My car is back on the road - who else is out of hibernation?

    It's when we get those 3 days of rain sometime around December or January and don't drive, remember?:drive:

    rear window gasket

    I was going to try that project and drive around town to some glass places looking for the gasket. Found a glass place that had the whole factory window for under 200 bucks. They had a couple and I posted it here, a couple folds bought them then they ran out. Check around with the local glass...

    Spent all day installing a stereo in my Viper!

    Interesting, I always wondered what that strap was for.

    Got a Fricking Ticket yesterday

    Every time one of these threads pops up I have to check the banner up top to make sure I didn't accidently get logged on to teenricerforum.com or corvetteforum.com. Classy stuff! I'm headed over to the "How-to" section and brush up on neon light installation.

    Someone lost a black 2000 RT/10 in PHX last night

    Wow, that says a lot for our public education system. What an idiot. Then again, the last line at the bottom of the page says it all... Crazyman has (0) friends. Wonder why?:dunno:

    Has anyone run into Water Based Paints being used yet?

    All of the major manufacturers, BASF, Dupont, Sikkens, PPG, Sherwin Williams, have water based product available, all of it is junk. The polyisocyanates that you fear are what make your paint job adhesive and durable. I worked for PPG for 16 years both as a chemist and as a field rep. and...

    New to the Viper World

    Welcome. If you want a cheap and simple rack to hang your top in the garage, I bought 4 large rubber coated J-hooks at Home Depot, the kind used to hang bicycles and ladders, and put them on the wall. I set the top on the bottom two and then turn the top two down over the top to hold it...

    Another Newbie!

    Sounds cool. I'm gonna be out of town on vacation on the 15th. I don't hit the Pavilions that often but about once a month I like to go there and check out the cars there. Sometimes on the bike, sometimes the car. It's a fun way to spend the afternoon, I'll just be happy to see another Viper...

    Paint question...Need help!

    If you are painting the car complete, the exact color match will not matter as much as having the correct paint code. A good body shop will paint a Viper with most of the parts off, unlike most other cars where matching the door jambs and such is necessary. Check with the paint shop or the...

    Another Newbie!

    Welcome to another AZ Viper owner, one that actually drives it so I might see you around town. I bought mine in San Antonio a year ago and drove it home. I had half the drive you did (half the fun) and I'm glad I drove it instead of transporting. Hope to see you around sometime, maybe the...

    A MUST READ

    Confiscating your car for speeding is BS. What next?.. taking your house for playing your stereo too loud? In a joint property state, such as Arizona, using the same philosophy they shouldn't be able to take the car anyway. Titled in both names or not, it's still both spouses property, as...

    BAZ inspired me! (detailing thread)

    I did this project last year too. My wife had bought me a can of some stuff from Autozone that was a spray on engine cleaner that left a shine. I didn't want to use it on the engine but it worked great on the suspension and fender liners. It just sprays on, let it sit for 10 minutes then...

    McViper priced to sell @ $50,000???

    It's priced that high because it's the only front wheel drive Viper in the world. I love the dealers that have no clue about the cars they sell.:dunno:

    Locked out...

    Ok, answers in order... Haven't tried changing the battery yet, gonna try that this weekend. Dave, what does the reset do and will I have to have the car re-learn the key for after that? Oh, and that's Mr. Gen 1.6. Thanks Chad, that answers some questions that I've had for a while, now I...

    Locked out...

    A couple of weeks ago I went for a drive and parked in the driveway when I got home. Didn't lock the doors, I was going back out in a short while anyway. When I went back to my car, I reach in and pull the driver's door handle but the door won't open. It feels like the door is just stuck, but...

    Who says the Gen III cars look like vettes?

    That dealership must sell a few Vipers. Their name popped up quite a few times in the months that I was shopping around on Ebay and Auto Trader for my car. The red wheels are fugly.
