    Getting Wires From Engine Bay To Dash

    Great idea. I found the rubber door plug. Is there an "open space" behind the plug under the dash (on the driver's side)? I tried to look and there appeared to be plate with wires mounted in that area (really I am too fat to fit all the way under the dash). Thanks for your help!

    Getting Wires From Engine Bay To Dash

    One of my winter projects is installing a Bel RX75 Radar Detector/Laser Blocker in my Viper. I'd like to find a way to run wires from the engine compartment into the cabin without cutting new grommet holes if possible. Has anyone installed a remote detector? I assume guys running new wire for...

    Thinking about adding stripes

    I had my stripes painted with a BMW black that has silver specks. I also had the vents "faded". I have black rims with silver lips on the way. Thanks

    Two Gauge Pod?

    Does anyone know if there is a two gauge pod for the Gen 3? Someone in a recent thread mentioned there was one but I can't find it. Thanks

    Problem shifting from second to third

    I had the same thing happen - twice. During hard acceleration, the shifter/trans moves to the right and if you force the shifter to where 3rd is at idle, you can push the shifter between gears. Scared me to death. I talked to Mark J. at Woodhouse and he explained that the motor mounts have...

    A/F Gauge Placement

    Are you sure you saw Gen 3 pods? I only find pods for Gen 2s. Thanks

    A/F Gauge Placement

    I've been trying to figure this out as well. I wish someone made a pillar pod for 2 gauges. I think I'm going to end up velcroing 2 small digital gauges (boost and A/f) somewhere on the steering column. See Square air fuel ratio gauge, velcro anywhere, size of a keychain remote. Air fuel...

    3M and clear bra for Vipers...

    I have 3M on my hood, sills and nose. Be careful if you put it on areas that have been repainted. I removed the clear coat once when I pulled the material off the repainted side sill. A local high line dealer has a spotless 911 GT3RS and the ENTIRE care is covered in clear bra. A real work...

    Mis-Shift

    I've had the same problem when driving aggressively. Mark Jorgensen from Woodhouse (a great Viper resource) told me it is due to the engine/trans moving at WOT. He suggested I learn to "push and pull" the shifter rather than grabbing and jamming it into gear and/or install new motor mounts to...

    Excuse me, is your car on fire?

    Last year I did a test to see if the Roe insulation helped with sill heat and reported the following: Update: since nobody had a direct comparison between an exhaust with and without Roe insulation, I removed the insulation from one side and left the other side intact. (I know - I'm neurotic)...

    Paint chips

    Canyon: Be careful installing clearbra on repainted areas. I've had 2 areas where the clear coat pealed off when the installer pulled the extra clearbra off the car. I'll never put it on repainted areas again. Thanks

    motons

    I just had Woodhouse put Motons on my Viper and I am very happy. The car rides/handles much better and it sits around an inch lower. I initially hesitated because of the cost but Mark Jorgensen at Woodhouse told me they were worth it and he was right. The Woodhouse people do great work and...

    Rear Gear Question

    Stupid question: When you lose the Viper gears or diff, do they fail/break all at once or is it a "wearing out" over time? In other words, would I notice a problem while driving or would the rear just blow up? Thanks

    Anyone Remember That Wheel Packaging And Shipping Thread?

    Thanks for the info. I have to ship my wheels/tires from Indianapolis to Chicago to have them refinished. Any idea how much it costs? Thanks

    Lug Nut Covers

    I was putting my wheels on the car and I noticed 4 of my lug nut covers (the thin metal cover on the lug nut) are loose and easily slide off the lug nut. If one flew off while I was driving, it could do some real damage. Does anyone know how to "fix" this? Do I need to replace the lug nuts or...

    New lowered pics on SSR's

    Re: New lowered pics on SSR\'s Thanks. Does the car ride different than stock? I hear the Motons and KWs are much less "bouncy". Have you ever driven the car (after the Aldans) on a road course? Thanks for the response!

    New lowered pics on SSR's

    Re: New lowered pics on SSR\'s Car looks great. How are the Aldans holding up? Did you find a setting you liked? Do you mind telling us what the shock and corner balancing cost? I'd like to find a alternative to Motons. Thanks!

    Clear Bra Coverage?

    I need to install new clear bra on my side sills. In the past, I've always had the entire sill covered which is a big project. If I wanted to cover just the area behind the front wheels that gets damaged/sandblasted, how far back would the material need to go? Where does most of the paint...

    How many ways to lower a Gen3 ?

    Anyone use the Aldan Eagle shocks from John B? They certainly are cheaper than the other shock options. Thanks

    Viper Ringtone

    I'm sure some will find this childish but I want a viper sounding ringtone (with a Corsa or similar exhaust) for my cell phone. Anyone ever do this? Thanks

    painting stripes on srt-10 which color?

    I looked at many different colors before I chose mine. It's hard to tell from the photos but it is a light black with silver specks. I think it looks great because it ties in with the silver. It is an old BMW color. Good luck.

    Snakeskin Vipers by Prefix Now Available

    I agree the car in the ad looks terrible but I saw a Prefix copperhead in person at Viper Days in Indiana and it looked great. The car had snakeskin stripes, a wing, copper calipers and "tasteful" copper leather work. I thought it looked perfect. You just can't go overboard with the extras...
