    Gen 2 vs. Gen 5 GTS

    Are you opposed to upgrading the gen 2 gts brakes? Someone else will have to chime in on how good factory are balanced, and if they are prone to lock up. A previous owner installed AP Racing 6 piston calipers up front, and PBR brakes out back on my car. Still using factory rotors, and a...

    Control Arm Bushing Up-Grade-...

    Like GTS Dean pointed out, tightening down on those bushings at full droop is a no no. Using a jack to move the suspension to it's proper location has always served me well.

    Tapping noise

    Sounds like a two person job. Car off the ground with one person engaging the drive train, other person spotting. If it's motor or transmission mounts, should be pretty noticeable. Like you mentioned, exhaust is another good place to look. Maybe even something ridiculous like road debris could...

    Tapping noise

    When you say tapping, do you mean a single tap corresponding to your throttle input? If that is the case, you might want to look at motor or transmission mounts.

    Control Arm Bushing Up-Grade-...

    Worthwhile upgrade for sure. I rebuilt my entire suspension using energy poly bushings. I love that a sports car the caliber of a Viper doesn't cost Ferrari money to rebuild/upgrade.

    1994 RT/10 Idler Pulley fail

    My tensioner gave up the ghost recently. Thank God it was right up the road from my house, and held together until I was home. Couldn't hurt do the radiator hoses while you have the easy access.

    Gen 2 vs. Gen 5 GTS

    Sounds like money isn't the issue, so comes down to what you want out of the experience. If refinement is the higher priority, you know which generation gets you there. If nostalgia is higher on the pecking order, there is a clear winner to me between the two choices. Both will offer a unique...

    ACR Koni Shock Manual Supplement

    Here is the contact info from when I had my 2812's rebuilt. Performance Shocks Inc. 1-800-965-5664. Assuming that nothing has changed in the last 2 1/2 years, they were the company doing Koni's stateside rebuilds. I had no issues with them. They will do an inspection of parts , and ensure none...

    ACR Koni Shock Manual Supplement

    Unfortunately I don't, I adjusted mine somewhere between esthetically pleasing and functional. Too low and every speedbump or driveway becomes a federal production to attempt. Remember that adjusting your ride height can effect other components like steering. Advisable to check alignment afterwards.

    2000 RT/10 back to stock.

    https://youtu.be/z-CnOydgcb0?si=cZeaw6LBE2JhGanx Here is a video from Boosted Motorsports when he installed his. I figure there is some good information that would be helpful in removing yours.

    ACR Koni Shock Manual Supplement

    The adjustment is pretty straight forward. There is a locking collar on the bottom that you need to back off, then rotate the next higher collar to adjust ride height as needed. Process is the same as many other coilovers.

    Trying to upgrade to gen5

    Depends on which Gen 5 you're talking about. Some of the ones I have seen on BAT recently would put you in the right ballpark. It depends if the asking price is more important than less cash and a car to the seller.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    While I'm reading how you have parts located/packaged in this car, it got me to wondering, what is an ideal weight bias in a car built to go the speeds you are looking to achieve? I'm sure some of the placement is just where things fit, but is weight distribution considered for anything more...

    Replace or not?

    What they mean by water content is the fluid has hydroscopic properties (absorbs moisture). For brake fluid, that can be a safety issue if you race or drive the vehicle in a manner that requires heavy braking. Water content will lower the point at which brake fluid boils. Once that happens your...

    New gen ii ACR owner - shifter stiff?

    I'd describe my shifter as much more mechanical than smooth, but I wouldn't consider it excessively stiff. It does have a positive return to center in neutral. Can you describe how the shifter is fighting your input? Is it difficult to engage, disengage, or both? Does this happen in every...

    What the hell is wrong with this dyno test...

    Where are you located in relation to FourEyes? Dynos can can vary widely due to atmospheric conditions, and even dyno to dyno results can change that much. The factors that can change a dyno result are numerous, and I'm sure someone with more extensive experience than myself will chime in with a...

    Accident today....Need advice

    That ***** man, been down that road before. If she still drives right, get out there and enjoy the car. Couldn't hurt to touch base with local car clubs. Sometimes they farm their skills around and help each other out.

    2000 GTS ACR VIN verification

    She's an ACR, but not the cleanest example. If you want the car because it's an ACR, it is the cheapest way to get into one...which brings me to my next point, as was mentioned above, they are asking way too much. Hard to pin down a reliable number without seing the condition of the car in...

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    That setup looks outstanding. Gives me some serious back to the future vibes. Who'd have guessed, 88mph wasn't actually the number for time travel...it's 275 =)

    New Four Eyes Video

    If you go back through a few of his videos, he documents base numbers and tuned numbers. Ultimately it looks like his plan is to build this motor into a 9.0L.

    New Four Eyes Video

    New video posted of the latest 2nd gen GTS mods. Awesome watching how it stacks up against an Audi R8 V10. The earlier videos are equally entertaining. https://youtu.be/zgqUrq2xehg?si=_7-rBlvx13ee6fI6

    Yet another overheat issue HELP

    Are you getting any pressure release when you open that upper tank? Not sure if a faulty cap would cause that result.

    Yet another overheat issue HELP

    Air in a cooling system can cause circulation problems due to vapor lock. Bottoming out may have shook something loose or cracked something introducing air to the system. Thermostat may have given up the ghost. If it seized in a closed position, the upper radiator hose won't be hot due to lack...

    not a secure site

    I agree that anyone involved in shady deals should be banned by the site, but you have to protect yourself from purchases on public forums. I did a quick search to see who this person was, assuming I found his correct profile, it has a whopping three posts here. Three posts is not exactly what I...
