    Replace or not?

    Change your coolant, grease your ball joints, change plugs and wires, drive carefully while you source new tires. Enjoy!

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Where are the hatches to load the ice? Will you use dry, or water ice? How does the cold side plumbing get from back to front?

    Leaking valve cover gasket, even after replaced?

    Something is not straight/level, or damaged.

    Leaking valve cover gasket, even after replaced?

    I had a similar issue a few months ago - same side. Turns out it was a bolt hole at the lower rear corner hat had some crud in it and the bolt wasn't torquing correctly. Pull the valve cover again and check it for any warpage. Remove the gasket, wipe it good and dry, then wipe the head mating...

    Hydraulic clutch

    For more than 20 years and at least 40 trips to the track, I NEVER bled the slave cylinder. I would use the turkey baster and put clean fluid in the reservoir about every 5 years. The second time I needed to pull my transmission out recently, I was ready with a remote bleeder system. It's all...

    Accident today....Need advice

    Insist that they start the process at the front by lifting the tires clear, loosening all the wishbone cam nuts enough to rotate the fixed ends reasonably freely. Don't let the cams drop out of their slot stops and have them check to be sure the ears are not bent over from previous attempts. Run...

    Id window frame - help!

    It looks like your frame has a fairing for the side windows to tuck under, while the '94 has an indent from the outboard side. I just remember my '93 leaked terribly in the rain when I was driving it back from Hennessey's on the Katy Freeway after VOI #1 - both from the header and the windshield...

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Beautiful! You lay out your plumbing like I do: Make sure the adapters and end connectors are pointing the hose in the right direction at both ends. There's almost never a question about which hose goes where at reassembly.

    T56 tranny parts

    It's hard for me to believe that with as many T-56's as there are out there that so many parts are obsolete now.

    Yet another overheat issue HELP

    Your impeller is not the best style, but it will work. Go to your auto parts store and buy a coolant fill/purge kit. Start the engine and let it warm up to t-stat open and fan cycle point with heater valve open. With the funnel 1/3 full above the header tank you should begin to see trapped air...

    Is the suspension supposed to be this 'uneasy'?

    In the front I like about -1.2 to -1.4 camber, +6.0 caster and about 1/16" toe in. Out back, I aim for about -0.9 camber, +1.0 caster and 1/8" toe in. 99.5% of alignment shops cannot measure rear caster and it is every bit as adjustable as the front end. Just have them start with the cams...

    What hose sizes - 12 and 16?

    From what Material is the floor section made on a GTS Gen 2?

    The only aluminum bits under the car are the oil pan, bellhousing, diff, wishbones, side sill covers and the transmission tunnel cover plate. The floor pans are STEEL. Use a magnet and prove it to yourself.

    From what Material is the floor section made on a GTS Gen 2?

    That's not very bad damage and I'm almost positive the pans are steel. It could be bumped back out reasonably well in a few hours. Put the car up on 4 stands and remove the seats. Get yourself a selection of different length/width hardwood blocks and a 1-2kg sledge hammer. Begin from the edges...

    Is it magnetic? Steel.

    1996 RT seats, 2000 gts seats

    I believe they should be the same. The 96 RTs require close inspection for all sorts of things like this.

    Accusump port Gen2

    I found this photo of Darrin Ellis's VRL Gen 2 car with Accusump. I don't know where the smaller line with the 180* elbow goes off to. The fitting at the rear of the engine is for the fire bottle, not connected to that line. Very nice plumbing work overall.

    Accusump port Gen2

    I believe you want to use the rear-most port on the block near the dipstick tube. It flows directly to the cam and mains. The thread looks to be 3/8" NPT and the sensor connector on mine is green. I would put the Accusump on the run side and the sensor on the branch.

    Is the suspension supposed to be this 'uneasy'?

    Get the back wheels up, grasp them at 3 & 9 and rock to check for free play

    Is the suspension supposed to be this 'uneasy'?

    It is possibe to have worn shocks, but you would typically see obvious leakage. I'm thinking you have either, maybe both of the following symptoms: 1) worn inner tie rods, 2) improper/unbalanced caster side-side in the rear.

    Accusump port Gen2

    This post is worthless without pictures, or diagrams. If you're worried about cylinder walls, pour 1oz of Marvel oil in each cylinder and leave the plugs out. Use a 32mm socket on a breakover bar under the car and roll the engine over slowly by hand in neutral with some paper towels stuffed in...

    Sourcing Obsolete Parts For Gen I and Gen II Vipers

    The heater flow control valve was sourced from Denso of Japan. The hose nip ples are 9/16" (14mm) - NOT 5/8". You can get an OE Toyota Tacoma/4-Runner replacement from the late 90s to mid 2000s and just re-use the Viper bracket.
