    Gen 1 Audio Upgrade Thread.

    I won't be upgrading the head unit, simply because my car would no longer be eligible for collector plates. Speakers were also selected so they could hide behind the oem grills. As for audio quality, If the DAC is offloaded to an external cd changer emulator, and the amplification is offloaded...

    Gen 1 Audio Upgrade Thread.

    Yeah it's an assembly check list. I thought it was pretty cool. I think I'm going to carefully remove them and store them in a ziplock bag.

    Gen 1 Audio Upgrade Thread.

    Door Tweeters. I wasn't originally going to replace these, but I found something that fit. I measured about 46.7mm on the stock tweeters. The closest I could find that would fit the hole were Herts CP 26 which measured 44mm. Also, the Hertz tweeters have a bolt hole on the back of the tweeter...

    Power Steering Cap Fix

    This solution might be a bit overkill, but here's how I addressed the infamous power steering cap issue. I routed a 3/8" hose from my cap breather to an oil catch can. 1) It prevents fluid from spraying up and onto the exhaust manifold 2) In the event of the cap coming loose, the hose will...

    Power Steering Cap Gasket?

    My Dorman 82585 came with a flat neoprene gasket as pictured ... and upon reinspecting my original cap, it has a flat ring gasket as well. It just really looks and feels like plastic until I probe the edge with a toothpick.

    Gen 1 Audio Upgrade Thread.

    9) Remove four screws on back of stanchions. Remove three screws on front stanchion. The seat belt mount prevents the stanchion from coming off. 10) Time to remove the big seatbelt bolt. Start by unclipping the triangular seat belt trim piece. There's a tab on each side. It has to be worked a...

    Door speakers part 3. 6) Three mounting screws. These are screwed in horizontally via tabs that are mostly visible. The short screw is the front-most screw. The other two are the same size. Two are shown below. The last is on the bottom towards the rear of the car. My screw driver is pointing...

    Door speakers part 2: My photos will not always be from the same side. I sometimes put screws back in the holes they came from in order to keep track of them. Tools: #2 philips screw driver T50 socket I recommend a Finger Grip bit driver (i.e.: super-stubby screw driver) 1) Remove door pull...

I'm sure there are many like this A pair of Bass Blockers. I chose one that eliminates frequencies between 0-5.6kHz at...

    Gen 1 Audio Upgrade Thread.

    I'm starting a thread for my audio upgrades on my 1993. Gen 2 seems to be well documented in various places, but I figured Gen 1 is different enough to warrant some posts. My goals are: 1) Door midrange speakers (See posts 2 3 4 5) 3) Door tweeter speakers (See post 7) 3) Rear speakers...

    Power Steering Cap Gasket?

    Thanks. I previously checked my cap. It had the rubber flap, but no rubber ring. I ordered a Dorman 82585 cap. Hopefully it has a rubber ring. I will find out thursday. I routed a 3/8 fuel line from the breather on my cap to under the brake booster. My understanding is that with the hose fixed...

    Power Steering Cap Gasket?

    Does anyone know if the gen 1 and 2 power steering caps are supposed to have a gasket or o-ring? If so, does anyone know a part number or correct o-ring size? I've been finding conflicting information....

    Ohhh.... I found a photo. I had no idea there was supposed to be plugs over those screws. I don't have a single one. Well dang... Guess I'll make those next.

    3D print an interior door sill plug

    There might be some confusion on which plugs these are. They're under the door when the door is closed. There's 4 per side on my 93. I circled 3 in green on the driver's side in this photo (ignore the messy garage!):

    When working on the exhaust, you pull them out to access the bolts holding the rocker panels on. I was missing 3 when I bought the car.

    Need Some Maintenence Help with '95 1st GEN

    I'm not sure I quite understand your questions, but in terms of Q1, the gap on the right side of the hood is so you can slip your hand in and undo the hood latch. It's supposed to be there. But there is some sort of misalignment going on there. I can't tell if the driver's side of the hood is...

    3D print an interior door sill plug

    These should work for 1992 - 2000 This was supposed to be a quick and easy design, but it took some effort to get the button/dome top to not look crummy and to align the layer lines so the legs wouldn't snap off.... Photos and instructions are on the printables.com link below, but In short...

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    Viper driving season was over in November in Vancouver, BC. I'm doing less interesting work, but since you asked... :p On my 93 antenna car, the giant antenna gets in the way of the car cover. I managed to find a Metra 44-STUB antenna that comes with the elusive female 1/4-20 to male 6mm...

    I couldn't find a replacement part. I had been using a rubber washer with a squared hole to hold the intake baffle in place. I made a replacement you can print in a flexible filament. More photos are on the printables.com link...

    Thanks @vprtech That's valuable advice and background information. My car is now stored for the winter, but I will re-adjust it when the weather warms up.

    New Gen 1 Stanchions are now available

    @ninetyfive for what it's worth, I had the same problem. Here's how I repaired it: Mix 50% baking soda and 50% graphite powder. Graphite powder can be made by splitting open a standard wooden pencil and grinding the graphite stick against sand paper into powder. Mask the front (or visible...

    How to replace an IAC motor on a Gen 1

    You can see my thread here on what I'm trying to solve: https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/sometimes-stalls-when-coming-to-a-stop.678665/#post-3307119 However in my case, I was wrong to change this part. My existing part was fine. Generally speaking, symptoms of a bad IAC motor would be an...

    Sometimes stalls when coming to a stop.

    Thanks all for your replies. I've had a busy week so I've been slow to work on this problem. I haven't touched the throttle position stop screws. I looked at both throttle bodies and both have the plates stop just behind the first small hole in the bottom of the throttle body. I added Lucas...
