    site performance

    Is it me, or is there an issue with site refreshes lately? Over the past 2-3 weeks, i've noticed that when a thread is opened, about 1 in 3 times, the page never loads and I have to F5 it. Granted, I use firefox most of the time but haven't made any changes to it. Same with SEARCH...

    Gen 2 dash removal?

    Can anyone explain the dash removal procedure on a gen2? I have never removed a dash and want to remove the battery gauge to put the boost gauge there. i've seen others do it and it looks quite cool... just not sure how much of a PITA it is to do it. Thanks in advance! Joseph

    Who is at fault? DealerA, DealerB, or Buyer?

    The following occurred in the past couple of weeks. The issue is unresolved at the moment so named are changed to protect the dealerships. Once the issue is dead, names may be revealed. Let's say that: A person purchases an '06 viper with 10k miles on it from Dealership A. The car was...

    Another "Thanks Partsrack" Post

    Big thanks to JonB for helping me with the parts to help a local owner complete a project. It is very shiny. And when he puts it on his car it'll be even shinier! Also, JonB has sold me some USED parts that wear... with a warranty! WTF is that about?!?!? Thank you for that!!!!

    Quaife Update - Gone but not forgotten

    As some of you might have noticed, the Quaife special-pricing deal disappeared. It is about to be back, however, as the vendor that was helping out with it is becoming a sponsor as we speak. So once that is 'official', the deal will be back on. If you have questions in the interim, please...

    Poor UGR experience. AKA: How UGR f-'d me over

    Well folks. It finally happened. UGR has stooped lower than I ever thought possible. Not only has UGR screwed me over personally, but they have screwed over a handful of other viper owners. All in the name of making a few bucks. As you all know, I have used the same engine shop that UGR...

    The other 'fusable link' on these cars - Broke mine!

    I never thought that the drive shaft would be the fuse-able link on the car. But on mine it was! I had some of the most supportive help at the drag strip for the day. Long before I broke these guys were helping me with everything. It was a day to learn and I learned the limits of the...

    Pics of the new hood on the 06

    Vinny got his new hood painted and we installed it today. Easy as pie. The sun was quite bright so the pictures don't really do this hood justice. But it looks awesome in person. enjoy!

    Photoshop request - black w/ silver striped RT/10?

    when I bought my viper 9 years ago, i had a hard time deciding between a black w/ silver striped GTS and a silver RT/10. Well, the silver was in-stock the day i wanted to buy so I did. I've always wondered what a black w/ silver striped RT/10 would look like, though. has anyone ever seen a...

    Anyone need laptops? I have some to unload cheap - great for tuning!

    I realize this belongs in the classified section, but this group gets more visibility. And since many people ask about what laptop they should use for tuning an AEM or VEC2/3, here is an option for them. And these have built-in serial ports so they don't require that darn USB -to-serial...

    Dyno #'s for SRT+VEC3

    I had the pleasure of working with a VCA member from LA who made the trip to Atlanta so that he could get his car tuned. This car had an arrow rebuild on the motor when the #3 rod bearing went out. Mods are exhaust, headers, green filters, and a VEC3. The car (when the VEC was zeroed out)...

    Looking for a part off of a broken T56

    Does anyone with a broken T56 have the tone ring (underneath the tail housing, by the speed sensor) that they can part with? I have a Gen2 tranny which is missing the tone ring (actually, I had to borrow it for an older gen3 tranny). Thanks in advance!!! BTW - if you don't know if you have...

    Thanks JonB!

    JonB - Thanks for the super-fast ship on the EBC Rotors I just ordered. Stock rotors from NAPA were more expensive than EBC slotted/dimpled from Partsrack... so I ordered and they showed up 2 days later. Thanks again for the fast turn-around! JD

    More on the racelogic TC

    For anyone considering it: I'm going to be sending mine back to the UK to get it checked out and converted over to the configuration that supports ABS (aka 2001+).

    stock fuel line - what size fitting into intake?

    I discovered on my most recent motor rebuild that the stock fuel (which i'm not using anyway) has been disconnected. 2 questions. 1 - will this cause a vacuum leak? I think so...but not 100% sure. 2 - what size plug can I put in there? I checked the usual NPT plugs and the one that is...
