    Method to bleed air out of your hydraulic clutch system

    Have you used the clutch adapter with success? I picked up the MPV-1100, which is the earlier version of the 1109, and it is way too small. Both part numbers are listed as 45mm caps. I'll be sending it back, but would like to know what to order in its place. Good news is that the brake cap...

    Some recent local Vipers (pic heavy!)

    Little too much HDR effect for me, but the shots are killer and it looks like a great show!!

    GTS running hot

    Any luck troubleshooting with the tests mentioned above? Relay swap will tell you if one is bad and A/C test will tell you if it's the temp switch. Third step would be to check with pin connections in the pigtail at the fan... some have recently found bad connections. Also, before you put the...

    SRT brake upgrade - pedal travel

    Thanks for the reply. Your thoughts definitely support my general suspicion of pad knock back and/or rotor runout. I bled the hell out of the system with my new Motive setup. I initially didn't think it did any better than the old school method with my wife in the car, but was faster and more...

    tire fender gap right???

    I'll assume you meant to say that you ARE a larger OD, as that SRT setup is roughly 1" larger tire diameter, which equates to roughly a 9.5% speedo impact. You can run a speedo calibration box from someone like Unitrax to adjust for the difference. Other option is just add a nice, round 10%...

    tire fender gap right???

    I have the same issue, only at full droop. It's just a result of the larger OD tires. Experienced it with both stock SRT-10 wheels/tires and my 18/19 Forgeline setup with SRT-size Michelin Super Sports.

    Gen II GTS Fuel Tank Issue

    Who did you speak with to determine this $2500 bill is on the low side? Looks like Will @ RSI charges nearly $1000 less, all-inclusive. Labor prices certainly vary by location and it looks like you're paying a good bit more for a used tank than places like Scharf charge, but that's still a chunk...

    GTS running hot

    Have you checked that the fans are operating correctly? I would start there.

    Does anyone get a thumping sound at the back of the car...

    Can you feel it or just hear it? Wheel hop is typically felt. If it's just a noise, I would check the diff mount bolt torque and condition of the bushings.

    Custom interior and audio build thread! 1998 GTS

    Seat looks great! Did they use black leather or a charcoal? I plan to recover my seats. Everyone calls them black, but they sure look charcoal to me. I suppose it doesn't matter in your case with everything else being recovered to match.

    Exotic Engines valve cover breathers???????????????

    Todd at A&C can definitely hook you up. He is typically fairly quick with response to phone call or e-mail.

    SRT brake upgrade - pedal travel

    I've searched and found a few threads on this subject, but none that were conclusive or had final follow-up with the fix. After installing SRT brakes at all (4) corners, along with SS lines, my pedal travels too much before engagement. It grabs well once it does engage. Seems that the first ~2"...

    2010 ACR vs GEN V car

    Graphs aside, multiple ACR owners have documented substantial MPH gain at the drag strip after removing the wing... there is most definitely an impact at speeds below 150mph.

    Rear ABS tone ring

    Can someone tell me the diameter of the rear ABS tone ring on the GEN3/4 shafts? I had a spare set and sold them before I thought to measure. I know the front tone ring is identical to the GEN2 cars. Need to verify the rear. According to a web search, they are 54-tooth. I'll count mine this...

    ALMS - Lime Rock July 5th - 6th

    They were running third before the last scheduled round of stops. Not sure what happened to drop them back to 7-8 after the cycle. They were moving back up, but that last caution kinda screwed everything. Hope they can put it all together, soon, and grab a podium.

    Custom interior and audio build thread! 1998 GTS

    Enjoying this thread very much. I plan to do some interior tweaks in the future. Probably wont be able to go this far, but its great to follow your progress.

    Rear suspension defect?

    Snake-Oyl was kind enough to email me back. Basically said cost is due UPS fees, banking fees, fuel surcharges, environmental fees for cadmium plating, etc. Still doesn't add up for me, but I appreciate that they responded.

    Rear suspension defect?

    I just went to order the brackets only to be charged more than $30 to ship a tiny box to Ohio. Killed the order and sent them an email to see if it's an error. Other folks charged the same? The price is already plenty high for two small brackets. I'll make something before spending over $300 on...

    Draining gas tank on '98 RT/10

    Should be able to hot wire the pump or modify the tune to run continuous. Did this several times with other cars, but haven't needed to with the Viper.

    Overheating 2000 GTS

    I'd fix the radiator and pressure test the cap before moving on to the pump. Not saying the pump isn't a contributor, but you know the radiator has issue and certain types of leaks can draw air in as the system cools down, creating and endless cycle of burping.

    Arrival!!!!

    Certainly understand. Car looks great and I'm sure you're psyched to finally have it in the garage. This custom order handling with SRT has been nothing short of embarrassing.

    Man, I couldn't pass on Shadow Pearl for red, but can certainly understand your frustration and decision. Car looks great!

    Glad they are going to limit the amount Corvettes & Mustangs at Cars & Coffee Irvine

    Re: Glad they are going to limit the amount Corvettes & Mustangs at Cars & Coffee Irv Turned away a Turbo Regal and Syclone? Were they clapped out?

    Wheel Hop

    Control arm and differential bushings are another major contributor. Difflection in the OE rubber can "wrap" just like old leaf springs, creating a cycle of alignment geometry change and tire loading in an IRS car. The way our differentials are mounted solidly at the pinion leads to the control...

    Top notch customer service

    Just got off the phone with Todd and reaffirmed my previous good impression when placing a relatively small order. Very knowledgeable, easy to talk with, and obviously dedicated to satisfying his customers. I will continue to work with Todd and would not hesitate to recommend A&C to anyone and...
