    Copperhead?

    Now that you mention it, I do remember the Copperhead concept car. My son even has the Matchbox version. This was about 1989 though after I'd seen the concept car at the auto show but before production had started. It was also rumored that the first few production cars had a V8 because the...

    Head Gaskets

    Sounds like you have some experience with this Mike. What kind of o-rings are we talking about here and where do you get them? Also, the Clark people mentioned that if you're using the copper gaskets with a turbo or supercharger you should have a groove machined into the head to hold the...

    Copperhead?

    I remember a rumor some time before the original Viper was released that the engine was going to use copper heads. They were going to call the engine the copperhead V10. Any truth to that or just someone's play on the snake theme? Pure Copper is over three times heavier than the aluminum...

    Head Gaskets

    I just got ahold of the Clark Copper Head Gasket company. They DO make copper head gaskets for the Viper but the person I spoke to wasn't sure if it's for Gen I or Gen II. They said to trace one and send it to them and they can custom make a set in 6-10 days. Cost: About $65 each! Now, my...

    are all reds the same?

    Also, I thought it was my imagination, but my father confirmed it...why do Vipers turn ORANGE when you wash them?

    Clutch pedal pulsates?

    That's a strange one. Thinking about how the entire clutch hydraulic system works, I can't imagine how this would happen. Well....Hmmmm...I guess if the clutch disk or pressure plate were warped...or maybe one of the transmission's input shafts...that could do it. That doesn't explain why it...

    Where can I get the bushings for the pedal assembly?

    Actually, I worked on this again recently as the clutch pedal started rubbing again. The bushings on my car don't go through the clutch box at all so they'd have no effect on whether the hole elongates or not. I'd imagine all of them are the same, at least the Gen I's. I ended up modifying...

    Head Gaskets

    There may be an obvious reason for this but, has anyone considered copper head gaskets for the Viper? Specifically, the GEN I's? They're usually used on racecars and are more expensive but they can't possibly be more expensive than the price DC is charging for the re-engineered (but still...

    Setting Design Height and creaky suspension

    I had my Viper aligned while on vacation and now it creaks very loudly when taking off (very embarrassing). I imagine the dealership didn't tighten all the suspension parts adequately. From reading the alignment instructions, I can see why. You have to set everything with the car at "curb...

    Elites Hood and diffuser: Scott said it was perfect, What BS

    I was considering purchasing a Subaru WRX a few years ago but decided not to because of the horrible orange peel in the paint on ALL of them. The thing is, it wasn't nearly as bad as what I see in those pictures. Is this the "louvered hood" that everyone was so excited about a few months back?

    Power Problems on my RT/10-94

    I've seen this happen with dirty connections at the battery too. If the battery terminals are dull and gray, they're covered in oxide. They have special cleaning tools that you just twist around the battery terminal to clean it. You then use the other part of the tool to clean the inside of...

    Smoke pot! Same sex marriages! NOW PHOTO RADAR!!!

    There was an article in the Washington Post about the clear coats a while back. The product they were talking about was called PhotoBlocker. It's a little pricey at $30 a can but the person they interviewed put it on his eight delivery trucks. He said he had $1200 worth of tickets before then...

    Viper Tech - Miami

    I had an alignment done at Orlando Dodge and they didn't torque the bolts properly when they were done. Now I get an annoying creaking sound every time I take off. Not saying they're no good but they slipped up on mine. To be fair, I couldn't take it back to them as I was halfway across the...

    wiper won't wipe!

    Re: wiper won\'t wipe! I'm not sure about the newer Vipers but on my '94 the motors really aren't all that complicated. If you can't get the warranty to cover it, it's a simple matter to remove the motors and clean the sensors. It's not that that sensors go bad (usually) they just get an...

    NoVA Viper Tech

    I've dealt with the tech at Jerry's. He seemed to know what he was talking about but then again i've only bought parts from him. Where in VA are you? --Rob

    Yeah. And being an international check it will take 3-4 weeks to bounce if not more.

    Who's Viper is this?

    Re: Who\'s Viper is this? C'mon guys. You may not like the ricer effect but this is still a fellow Viper owner. And no I don't know who it is. --Rob

    New EBC greens squeal! What Gives?

    I just put my second set of EBC's on about a week ago. They squealed at first but a few really heavy stops got rid of it. Make sure you've had the rotors turned if they had been used with "normal" pads before. I also have mine turned only a machine shop as they know how to put the...
