    Spring Cap install help request

    Yeah, those won't work. I've tried that and the hook just won't go over the springs. You have to find the ones with a pointy hook that's a little longer or the expensive hydraulic ones shown from the previous post. I actually still have the set that I used when I did my half shafts if anyone...

    Sweet Stereo Set up. *PICS*

    Umm, I'd have to disagree somewhat. My sub is facing up towards the hatch and almost parallel to the angle of the glass. I do have some cancellation which I didn't intend when I built my sub enclosure. The vibrations are bouncing off the glass and reflecting straight back into the sub which...

    Sweet Stereo Set up. *PICS*

    Those are subwoofers so it doesn't matter which direction they're facing. But they are blocking the vents....... :rolleyes:

    SCT - Hands On

    Looks like I'm going to have to go to the SCT route again. I wanted to replace my boost controller & VEC with the AEM but looks like AEM prices are going through the roof. Now instead of one unit I'm going to have to have SCT, Boost controller and VEC. It just seems like a lot of add-ons just...

    Gen II Main Bearing Caps....

    Nah, the car is detuned to around 740rwhp right now. The 1300 number was when they had it on the dyno and only did it once. One of these days when I get around to getting an AEM I'll have it tuned to around 1000 and leave it at that.

    Gen II Main Bearing Caps....

    But you never know. At the time I redid my engine I "never" had the intention of going beyond 1000hp. Now I wish I had. :rolleyes:

    Gen II Main Bearing Caps....

    If you have your engine apart do it now! Upgrade to billet mains. Not a day goes by that I don't kick myself for not doing it when I had the opportunity.:brick:

    Want to Powder Coat my Valve Covers

    Be aware that certain colors come out smoother than others. The reds and yellows are smoother. Silver is more difficult to get smooth. Can't remember why but that was my experience anyway.

    GTS tune ?

    How did you guys get the SCT tune remotely? Did you have to send them a dyno graph?

    ***Viper GTS Bass Solution - "Frog Box" - teaser pics***

    Every vehicle has vents to move air. When they added airbags in the '80s they had to really enlarge the vents. I've seen high speed film that showed windows getting blown out when there wasn't enough venting.

    ***Viper GTS Bass Solution - "Frog Box" - teaser pics***

    Well consider the volume of air that both airbags contain. Then consider that amount of air rushing through the cabinet at supersonic speeds. Where can it go? Either blow out the windows, or out vents. Also when you're driving with the windows down there will be back pressure build up in the...

    ***Viper GTS Bass Solution - "Frog Box" - teaser pics***

    Nice build but I think you overlooked something. The vents are blocked....... Keep in mind that just because it's not totally sealed doesn't mean enough air displaced from both airbags can be evacuated in 8 milliseconds. I think if you cut off the wings you may be able to solve the problem.

    You can't hear below 20hz but you sure can feel it. :headbang:

    GTS "BASS" Solution - Update and Volunteer needed...

    What kind of drivers are you using? At 37lbs they can't be that big. Will they go down below 20hz?

    K&N intake anyone interested?

    Are you talking about those FIPK air filters? If so, you may want to do a search before you get too excited. They're restrictive and actually worse off than stock.

    Custom BASS for your GTS? Working on a serious project. Are you interested?

    That may be due to blocked vents as well. When you get excess pressure in the rear trunk when the windows are open and vents blocked it will put strain on the hinge to glass attachment.

    Custom BASS for your GTS? Working on a serious project. Are you interested?

    Well if you can come up with something that doesn't block the vents, keeps the spare in place and is easy to remove I would be interested. I've been down this path many times and it's not an easy solution.

    At first I thought the show was pretty hokey with the stupid helicopter chasing the Viper. But it has grown on me somewhat. I enjoyed the Evo race against the skier even though it was corny. Did anyone notice a guy in the crowd during the Viper episode? He looked just like Maurice Liang! I...

    Water/Meth got stuck on- Car won't Start

    How are you controlling your W/M? Even if the pump is on it shouldn't pump any w/m into the tubes if your controller is not allowing it to.
