    Best tires and size for 18" BBS Rims

    Are they 18x10 and 13, or are the fronts wider? I agree that wider front tires are better from a dry grip perspective. Wet performance will be better with the 275/285. Don't just check the width - you need to check the height of various sizes. Standard G1/2 Vipers run 25.6" tall F/R. Some tires...

    01 GTS radiator hose question

    I use both of these clamps. The constant torque are heavier and more bulky. https://www.autozone.com/gaskets-and-miscellaneous-fasteners/hose-clamp/p/dorman-hd-solutions-constant-torque-hose-clamp/1241827_0_0 https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3613

    01 GTS radiator hose question

    A zero money, time only approach couldn't hurt to try. Crack the header tank cap, use an Allen wrench to loosen the radiator drain plug. Use a bucket underneath and let it drain for about 10 sec. Next, loosen the hose from the t-stat outlet and pull away. Inspect and clean the neck with emery...

    Tracking viper

    Kudos to you for tracking a car that was designed and built to be tracked. Other than fresh brake fluid, pre-post event pad/rotor inspection, a racing harness and helmet for you, there isn't much that these cars need. Tires, pads and rotors are consumables. Iron rotors are far less expensive...

    96 dipstick indicator

    It's a freaking dipstick. Get one longer out of any vehicle, cut the top off the right length and drill a little hole in the right spot for the handle. I guess the true beauty of new vehicles is that they've just done away with them altogether. No inventory problems!

    AC and AD are later versions, so most likely what you want.

    96 dipstick indicator

    If your dipstick tube inserts into the block just above the oil pan, then ANY matched pair of later model Gen2 tubes and sticks will fit and read properly. If your tube inserts into the pan itself, you do not have a Gen 2 pan. The deeper pans from 00-02 fill to the same "FULL" level as the early...

    Source for front end suspension/steering parts

    More often than not, your inner tie rods & rear toe links are the first to wear out. Same part number fixes both. eBay Bestpartsonline store. Your swaybar links typically look worse than they actually are due to deteriorated boots. Lots of places to buy them from. Generic wheel bearings don't...

    Aftermarket Proportioning Valve Install Question

    I can ear-tune this one on diesel, or natural gas:

    Aftermarket Proportioning Valve Install Question

    Definitely so. If you don't piddle around while pulling the spring and recapping, you shouldn't have to bleed the MC. The rear circuit needs extra attention.

    Aftermarket Proportioning Valve Install Question

    I stumbled upon these saved photos that someone else took many years ago when removing the spring. Some folks remove the o-ring and leave the spring. I removed the spring and left the o-ring on the spool. Spool has to stay in because it seals against the hollow cap nut.

    Frame holes or frame damage?

    Gen 1 and 2 have different forming of lower members.

    Emergency Brake Assembly not engaging

    That does look pretty crusty in there. In my experience, 90% of the trouble is at the caliper actuator levers and springs. Pull the rear pads and rotors. Use either the correct driver, or a good pair of needle-nose pliers to push/screw the pistons back into the calipers (clockwise) 'til they...

    Frame holes or frame damage?

    Yes, controlled collapse along load paths.

    Gen 2 RT10 Parts for sale will sell together or seperate.

    The water pump you have pictured is a Gen 1 pump. The internals will interchange with the Gen 2.

    Aftermarket Proportioning Valve Install Question

    To disable the proportioning section of the OE Combination Valve: remove the nut at the back, (it's tight!) remove the spool valve and spring, then reinsert the spool and screw the nut back on. It becomes a 1:1 pass-through chamber and still retains the safety valve operation. The adjustable...

    Roe VEC1 Technical Questions: 12v source revision, Key-On BARO, 12v Vampire Piercing Connectors

    I have Z-E-R-O faith in those Scotch-lock taps. The conductors on our cars are already somewhat marginal and anything that compromises the integrity of the wires is practically guaranteed to cause you problems down the road. I've tried with low success to solder broken door wires, but they just...
