    Moving to Cleveland

    Hi 1 Bad Snake Welcome to Ohio and the neighborhood. I live in Hinckley which is next door to Strongsville (mallville) and Medina. The best thing about Ohio winter is you have plenty of time to prep the car for next year. Send me a note when you get to town and we'll roll out the welcome mat.

    Should I buy a track car?

    Hi DOC! It was a pleasure meeting you at Motor Sports Ranch. I think you may want to add that you discovered a severe pull under hard braking. Fortunately you could turn to some of the most knowledgeable Viper people on the planet (ie Archers) and got the problem fixed. Not the type of thing...

I met Paul at the ViperDays finals in 1999. Paul was extremely fast. I stopped by his car, said hello and asked if he would help me...

    Re: #277 ARRIVES! (plenty o\' pics & commentary) Great write up. It is truly an awsome car that can only be matched by the awsome service of WOODHOUSE Dodge. Their driver Larry and his wife are two of the easiest going people who take their time and do things right. I only wish they would...

    Who drives #97 at VD?

    Just a little clarification, my car #97 was never wrecked. It is a race car and has had a few bumps and scrapes but never anything serious. The road america incident involved a blown heater hose and alot of steam. The car never left the track. The real incident occured when the famous race...

    VOI7 Survey Question

    Hi Sonny, You definitely understand the point. It was not to discuss VOI participant track time, (I would oppose any participant losing time due to a race), the logistics of putting together a race of either Barber cars or Vipers (VRL, SCCA, Grand AM, etc.... even Frank Barba) it was simply a...

    VOI7 Survey Question

    HemiDaytona, It was just an "A" or "B" hypothetical question. The intent was a make a choice between a Viper race or a race of "little tiny open wheel formula cars" which have no bearing, resemblence or in any way, connection to Viper or Viper owners. It's just a survey..... I used a...

    I would appreciate some feedback on the following hypothetical scenario: At VOI6, during the lunch break, a promotional race was run using the Skip Barber formula cars. For VOI7, what would you as a Viper owner rather see; A. Another Skip Barber formula race (zzzzzzzzzzz....) Or….. B. A real...

    HEADER WRAP A PROBLEM??

    With a little finesse you may be able to re-install the stock heat shields. I had Borla headers and was able get them back on. It required a little cutting and bending of the shields but once on looked OEM. Just my .002

    Which O-ring to remove in proportioning valve?

    ABS will automatically monitor impending wheel lock and reduce braking force at that wheel. Perfect brake balance is atained through ABS under all conditions. Dont remove the o-ring.

    Which O-ring to remove in proportioning valve?

    The o-ring you described in your initial post is the correct part.

    Which O-ring to remove in proportioning valve?

    The general consensus is that removing the o-ring will improve brake balance. *** NOTE *** REMOVING THE O-RING combines the front and rear braking circuits. This eliminates the safety built into a dual circuit braking system. The o-ring isolates the front and rear circuits so that a failure...

    Edmunds - What woosies! E-mail 'em and give them some grief!

    Re: Edmunds - What woosies! E-mail \'em and give them some grief! I rarely post or get upset from other peoples comments but that moron would have probably returned an AC427 cobra in the early sixties because he didn't like (couldn't handle) the ride!

    wax problems

    I’ve got a black RT/10. Here’s an easy way to make your car perfect. Buy a dual action (DA) polisher. This is not a rotary buffer. ANYONE can use a DA polisher without damaging the finish. IT WILL NOT BURN THROUGH! Meguiars sells them. Strip all the wax per Zaino instructions. Use a good...
