    Anybody in Az. thinking about installing a Roe blower?

    I was wondering if anybody in the greater Phx. area was considering installing a Roe supercharger themselves. I will volunteer my time and labor to help with the install. That hood can get heavy by yourself, you know! (I know...I know...you don't HAVE to take it off!). Just interested to see how...

    How to properly re-glue your rear view mirror......

    I posted this some time ago, so for those of you who know this already, I'm sorry about the repeat performance here, but some of you have asked me what the deal is on this. This applies not only to your Viper, but to any other car you may have with the glued-on rear view to the windshield. So...

    hitler-mobiles???

    If a Dodge is a "hitler-mobile", as he said, then his Corvette is a "Clinton-mobile". End of thread (I hope).

It was very much appreciated, and although we were all praying for sun, I guess it wasn't heard until Friday. pete the...

    Stock lug nut size

    I have no idea what you mean by "inner diameter" of the lug nut, but if you would like to know what size socket fits the lug, it's a 3/4". Pete the XGG scratching his head on that one!

    How do i know my battery is getting weak?

    Time for a new battery. Mine wouldn't idle properly when the battery started to fail. These cars like the proper voltage, etc. to run properly. pete the ex glass guy with a happy battery

    Can 5-30 oil make it run HOT?

    Typically, changing to a different weight oil does not make a car "run hot". First thing to look at would be bottle in front fascia for proper level. Then, burp cooling system anyway. Easy...you can do it yourself. pete the ex glass guy & hot rodder......(burp!..excuse me!)

    best headers and filters

    My opinion would be to first do a search on the message board for both headers and filters. You will find a ton on both. Some prefer one brand over another on both of these. Many different opinions here. You might also want to listen to a few systems at a club meeting to see which complete...

    Davis Radiators - have one?

    If you are referring to Ron Davis, their shop is right down the street from me here in Arizona. They build mostly lightweight aluminum racing radiators and do custom jobs for people. I have one of his older radiators in another vehicle but didn't even know he had a Viper 2-core. I DO know that...

    Careful when changing your coolant!

    IF you decide to change your own coolant be aware that you can damage your radiator by trying to remove the 1/4" allen plug at the bottom.....as I found out, this thing may be so tight that really cranking it hard can actually twist the metal around the radiator plug itself and destroy the...

    Belanger headers/heat shields?

    After reading some of the posts about the blue spark plug wires, some peole have mentioned the need for the heat shield w/ Belanger headers. Hmmm. Interesting. From what Lou Belanger just told me this past week, and yes, they do installations there on many Vipers, the stock heat shields "are not...

    I need some input on the Corsa 3" exhaust.

    Re: I need some input on the Corsa 3\" exhaust. My advice: buy it. I put it on my 98 and it sounds great and doesn't "drone" inside the car. Great looking exhaust tips as well. They did their homework on this one. Nice fit and finish and I think you'll be happy. pete the ex glass guy

    mobil 1

    Yes, the Tri-Synthetic is the right one. The container will also say, "Fully Synthetic" at the bottom on the front. The oil uses "a unique combination of three high-performance synthetic fluids". pete the ex-glass guy

    Thanks to Marv S. for an awesome day at the Proving Grounds!

    Thanks to Marv S. and his wife Susan, the Arizona Viper Club members were treated to an unreal opportunity to visit the Proving Grounds here in Arizona and witness an '03 (silver) car in person! And thanks also to all the great people there who welcomed us and treated us so well! Thanks again...

    Stick with Mobil 1?

    A lot of people like the factory-fill Mobil 1 and continue to use it along with the popular Mobil 1 filters. They had the oil at COSTCO the other day and you can find the filters here and there if you want to save some money and do it yourself. You can even make a set of wood ramps yourself for...

    Mobil 1 oil @ WalMart

    I know this was posted a while ago, but for everybody who changes their own oil, WalMart has Mobil 1 for $2.94 a quart. I just thought you'd want to know. Pretty good price and no limit. pete the ex glass guy

    Getting New Windshield - Advice???

    Pete the ex glass guy here...OK...the first thing to do is relax. Windshield replacement on a Viper is really no different than on any other car. Yes, you can goof it up installing it, but you can goof ANYTHING up on a car if you don't know what you're doing. It's a standard urethane job. If you...

    Clear spark plug wires. Where can you buy them?

    You might try Western Auto or Pep Boys. They have some nice fuzzy dice and those dogs with the blinking eyes when you make a turn that sit on the back shelf. Might even have a huge skull gearshift knob as well. (You're joking, right?)
