I'm looking into upgrading my stock wheels to 18 in GTS wheels. Are there any clearance issues or modifications that are required in order to fit the 18's? Does the tire diameter change? Speedo need to be recalibrated?
Thanks
I'm going to change my brake pads to EBC Greens for the first time on my 94 RT/10. I've reviewed the service manual and downloaded some of the various tips that have been posted on this forum. A couple of questions remain:
Is it necessary to surface the rotors every time you change the pads...
I'm thinking about installing the door popper kit on my Gen 1. The previous owner provided the necessary hardware and I've read the "how to" section. I was wondering if anyone can offer personal opinions on the kit? I'm not quite sure the purpose for the manual lock disengage? Did you do one...
I have a small coolant leak that appears to be coming from the thermostat housing. This will be my first trip to the dealer for Viper maintenance. I live in a suburb of Detroit and need suggestions for a dealer to have it fixed. I've heard people say Dick Scott Dodge, but he's a bit...
Re: Anti-freeze smell? Thermostat?
Two questions about the thermostat:
1. How does the 180 degree thermostat make the car run cooler? Seems like they would have come that way from the factory if there are no drawbacks? I'm not real clear on this?
2. Can someone suggest a dealer or Viper...
I jacked up the car and refilled the coolant. Underneath there seems to be a small amount dripping from the clutch housing. I followed it up and see the thermostat housing. I don't see any coolant leaking from the thermostat when looking from the top. Any ideas? I can't really see up close...
Does the Motor City VCA have any more events planned this week for the dream cruise? I'm not a member yet, but I'dlike to meet some fellow Viper owners and figure there will be more than a few opportunities this week :) Great pics BTW!
I changed my coolant 2 weeks ago. Since then, I've noticed a faint smell of anti-freeze when my temperature reaches about 200°. I checked under the hood and don't see any leaks or loose hoses? I did spill a small amount when re filling. I would think anything spilled would have burned away...
Re: Painting EBC Greens? & Rotor questions
Should I just take the rotors to NAPA to be turned, or do they sometimes just have to be cleaned up? I've heard different opinions.
I just bought new pads for my Red RT/10.
It looks like the front caliper will cover the green pads w/o a problem, but the rears will show. What are my painting options so I don't look like a green and red xmas Viper? Someone said VHT spray paint? Is this correct? Also, my rotors seem to be...
Here is my slip from last time. Car 239 - 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 (Stock). Car 240 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette (Stock). I'm new to this, so don't know what's good and what needs work. Apparently my 0-60ft is a hair slow...anything else bad? Good?
I'm heading to the drag strip with a few of my buddies on Sunday and need some advice. One has a stock C6, the other a 2001 Z06, so I need to give them a run for their money ;)
What are some of your recommendations for a great run! I went once before and got a 13.28 1/4 mile with a trap...
My 94 RT/10 doesn't have A/C installed. I know it was originally a dealer installed option and later a factory option. I've called the dealer ship and the parts manager told me that the kit is no longer sold. I've found some parts refurbished or used online, but do not have a complete list of...
I've removed both wipers and the cowl. I can get my hand in on the driver's side, but do not see an opening big enough on the passenger side??? Does anything else have to be removed?
I'm changing the plug wires on my 94 RT/10. I've started with the left bank and have easily changed # 1 and 3. 5 goes to a different coil. For the life of me, I cannot see or find an opening big enough to feel this coil? It appears to be on the passenger side, but there are no openings big...
One more thing...it seems that this has been a popular question throughout the years and alot of people just paint their dash a different color, however, I'd like to keep my car as stock as possible for right now. Hopefully someone has found a solution since the question was last posted.
Thanks-
I've got a few minor imperfections in my gray dash (1994 RT/10). I've read that it's painted? Is there touch up paint that will work and not look like sh*t? If not, any suggestions as to how to fix them? (I'll try and get pictures up later).
