    Brake Air Duct Kit?

    Could whomever is about to announce this kit please email me and let me know the details? I'm about to put a solution together myself, but if someone is about to release a kit it may save me the time.

    Funny pic, SJ Auto Show (Houston guys will love this)

    So, I just wanted everyone to know that I was "representin" the Viper nation at the auto show. There was a yellow rt/10 there as well but it was all buttoned up so people could only look at it. Quite a few people were taking their pictures with it, it was pretty funny. The Z06 got a lot of...

    Fire Suppression Question

    Hi all, working on my list of planned upgrades for '02. This year I'm concentrating on safety, with things like a rollbar and fire suppression on the list. What do I need to know as far as fire suppression goes? I know this much, there is automatic and manual (ie sensors vs. 'oh sh*t' switch)...

    My Stars & Stripes Viper (PIC!!)

    Well, its taken me a while to get a pic to share with everyone. If you were at Pahrump you may have seen the Black ACR with the US flag flowing across the hood. I wanted something special, and I think Al Roberts delivered. What do you think, subtle? The only drawback I can think of is that...

    Dash power tap...any suggestions?

    I need to tap power (switched preferably) to hook up my new SmarTire unit. I haven't looked through the Viper manual yet but I'm not sure it would be that helpful. I need it in the dash area, so I could potentially just use the radio power but does anyone know of a better/easier source...

    Accel pedal bounces up?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this so I'm posting to see if anyone has a solution. It doesn't happen often, and more-so in autox-ing than track due to the quicker gas-brake exchanges, but occasionally leaving the gas pedal for the brake will cause it to "bounce" up a little...

    Advice on SF Bay area window tinting?

    Can anyone recommend a bay area tint shop? I want to have a brow done across the top of my windshield and say goodbye forever to the visors. I also want to have my Durango done. When you see so many cars driving around with the lovely bubbled tint in the rear window, I don't just want to pick...

    FINALLY! A use for the ashtray, pics...

    Ok, so if you're like me you've been stairing at the ashtray wandering what good its doing you. George (mgw) has the nice coin-holder conversion, but here's my take: and ...and with the cover up: I removed the ashtray and made the spot into a switch panel with some aluminum to match...

    Racing Seats, opinions please

    Ok, so I'm planning on ejecting the stock seats and putting in some race seats. The stock seats seemed ok until I actually sat in a race seat. After using a finely tuned scientific instrument (my butt) to test various seats, I think I like the momo mirage the best. Before I jump in, does anyone...

    Portable Air?

    Hi all, if you autox or track your car you know how important getting tire pressures right can be. I don't have a trailer with my own air supply and all that (yet ;) so sometimes I'm hunting down someone's compressor. I've seen some people with small portable tanks that they just fill up before...

    Fuel Pump Problem at 15K, comments?

    Hi all. I got stranded in Monterey on saturday (I know, not the *worst* place to be stranded but inconvenient nonetheless) because there's something wrong with my fuel pump. You can no longer hear it prime when moving the key to 'on', there's just a subtle 'click' noise. My baby is sitting in...

    Does the accel pedal come off?

    I have snake-oyl's carbon/alum race pedals and I really need to remove the accel pedal to mount the new one to it properly. I just want to remove the part that your foot hits, not the whole shabang. It seems it pivots on a little screw but I couldn't feel a head so it may be a rivot type thing...

    How long should I wait to change whats under the hood?

    I've had my ACR now for almost 6 months. I just did my first track event at Thunderhill last week. I can only give you my perspective, though many here will probably agree. The first part of the car to upgrade is "the nut behind the wheel". I don't think its the horsepower thats so amazing in...

    Neat Pic from Thunderhill on Sat...

    This is from my in-car video which turned out excellent. I'll be converting it to mpg when my video editing card arrives. We should create an archive of in-car video of all the tracks around the country. Here's a neat shot of me behind 2 ferraris, the one in front is a modified black 348, and...

    Separate service manual for ACRs?

    I just got my 1999 service manual. It says GTS/RT/10 on the front but no mention of ACR. I also don't notice any information inside about the ACR-specific parts such as adjusting the shocks. Am I missing something or did I get the wrong manual? - Mark ('99 ACR)

    In car camera mount?

    Does anybody know if Dean Word still makes the camera mount? I emailed him at [email protected] and didn't hear anything back. I want in-car footage of my progress this year, and to send to my dad who is back on the right coast. Thanks! - Mark ('99 ACR)
