Hey Hugo!
It was good to see you the other day. If you need a good paint guy, try Randy Kurz at Kurz Automotive (301 990-6314) in the Montgomery Airpark area
in Gaithersburg. He's done a lot of stuff for me and is very reasonable. He just repainted my fascia and is going to do my...
You can buy them cheaper online than at Radio Shack (see my link above). I paid $110.
Also, if you want a rear view image you should buy a mirror image camera (yes, they make them). That way if you are taping stuff coming up from behind (or more likely being passed) the car will be on the...
That's exactly what I did. I put 3.55s in when my car was mostly stock and really liked the feel of it. I had to put the 3.07s back in when I got supercharged.
I found a lot of sources for the cameras online. I bought mine for about $110 here:
Spy Cameras 4 Less
The output of the camera is standard composite video with an RCA phono plug that plugs into my camcorder. I had to buy a shielded RCA extension cable to get it to the glove box. It...
This is a picture of my bullet camera mounted next to the intercooler of my car. When the fascia is replaced, you can barely see the camera. I went with this because I wasn't happy with the videos I shot with the camcorder mounted between the two seats (the mirror and dash took up most of the...
A couple of years ago I went to Skip Barber's driving school at Laguna Seca. It was a blast! A lot of what I learned I had been practicing for years, but never knew the "science" behind it.
My only "complaint" (and not much of one) was that the instructors seemed to contradict each other on...
I just got mine a couple of days ago and haven't had a chance to use it yet. I had one of the old ones and it was a lot of fun to play with. The new one is so much more advanced.
One question: Can you get 60 ft. times without running the entire 1/4 mile?
I drove mine around town for a day just to get a feel for slicks and skinnies at higher speeds. The car is all over the road and makes for some interesting driving. It served the purpose for me.
Another disadvantage of driving around on these tires is that they wear out pretty fast.
I think this was one of my first mods and, although subtle, it made a big difference for me. I was tired of catching my shoe on the clutch pedal. Sean's linkage did the trick. I had it installed for me after I tried to squeeze under the dash to install it.
Paolo, the range of motion is only...
Dr. Roof put a LOT of time and effort into this event. He stepped up when it appeared nobody else would. I'd like to publicly thank him for doing a great job (especially for his first event). Wow! I had no idea he did all this while his wife was expecting! I'm just disappointed that I was...
I've always been able to post images by using the url code in a post. It doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Question 1: Do all pictures have to be in the image gallery or can I still refer to a pic from a standard URL?
Also, I have a link in my signature that seems to work properly when I...
VA/MD VCA Dyno Day At Heffner\'s New Shop (pics)
Here are a few pics from the get together at Heffner's Performance yesterday. The weather was great (pretty humid though) but it was a great turnout with lots of Vipers. It was really good to see everybody again!
Vipers!:
I...
Congratulations Casey!! I don't think I've seen a more enthusiastic S/C owner! It was great meeting you in person and I'm glad that you're enjoying the beast. But, as you know, this stuff is addictive and I'm sure you'll be back for some more mods before long.
Enjoy your car!!
I lost third gear exactly as you described. The transmission had to be replaced. I know of several cars that had this same problem-all covered under warranty.
Was it working before you took it into the dealer? Did you leave it there and pick it up later? If so, it sounds like somebody was...
Not at all. I have the fastest times for an S/C-only viper with three different drivers. We all used the line lock as I have it set up. The line lock is really only necessary for doing burnouts. I haven't had to use it for staging.
