    Starter/Solenoid Issue

    Hello all. I have a 97 GTS that due to my work tends to sit for months on end without being driven or run (6200 miles). When trying to start it up this past weekend I had nothing but the clicking sound that comes of a dead battery or a starter issue. The battery is a brand new and charged...

    Key Fob Question

    Hey guys, I need to replace the key fobs and keys for my '97 GTS. I lost one and busted the case on the other. I've been using my one spare key for awhile now, but haven't driven the car enough over the past few years to bother replacing. This might be a bit of a silly question, but what do I...

    Autoform Side Sills

    Saturday morning, 9:15 AM, backing out of garage.... Abrupt "thump" is heard while backing the GTS out for the first time this year.... Viper meet Basketball backboard, backboard meet previously spotless Viper. :omg: Sometime later that day, I come to the conclusion that punching holes in...

    Could someone in the Southeast Michigan area recommend a good tech or tuner. I have a slight missing in my engine around and over 3500 rpm. Much appreciated!

    Help with wheel removal

    Would appreciate some suggestions on this. I need to remove a rear wheel for battery replacement on my 97 GTS. I have HRE's with StopTech brakes, and after pulling the lug nuts, it appears that the wheel has seized up against the brake rotor hat. I've tried using a rubber mallet on the backside...

    Side Sill Replacements

    Can anyone recommend a good source for replacement side sills for a '97 GTS? I believe someone used to manufacture a fiber resin replacement. Would also consider OEM replacements in good shape. Thanks!

    Strap Down Locations for Towing

    I just purchased a new open car hauler, but have not towed my GTS previously. Can someone here advise the best locations on the underside of the vehicle to attach the tie-downs straps. Thanks - Richard

    Rear Fascia Bolts

    My rear fascia bolts are collecting some rust and need to be replaced. Can someone suggest a manufacturer/part # for stainless or plated bolts that will fit the rear fascia on a GTS. Thanks!

    Can Someone Tell Me.....

    Where the door handles are on the 2003. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've been looking at the pictures of the car that a dealer sent me and I don't see any buttons, latches, push in handles etc. to open the doors. Surely someone who has seen one up close can answer this... thanks!

    BTR Hi-flow intake

    Tim, this has been discussed in the past here... Some feel that the cone style filters may suffer somewhat in performance because they are not shielded or enclosed, and tend to take in some of the higher temperature air under the hood and behind the radiator, whereas the K&N's in the stock or...

    Tire Manufacture Date

    Just picked up a set of new Pilot Sports today while waiting for the HRE's to arrive. Just curious, someone posted a thread here sometime ago stating that the tire manufacture date is stamped into the tire. I looked all over these "meats" and couldn't find it. Is it a code of some sort or am I...

    Mods-Under Construction/Opinions Please

    Just my opinion... but unless money is no object, I wouldn't get the Mopar stuff. You will get the same if not better performance items from other reputable vendors. Also forget the 1.7's until you open up the breathing ie; headers and heads. I wouldn't even bother with that Mopar ECM... try...

    Where to get Steel Grey paint?

    Your local dealer should be able to get you either touch up bottles or a spray can of the matching color. Another option is to get a pint mixed at a automotive paint supply shop and use an airbrush.. you'll get a much better result, trust me. Only draw back is you'll need clear urethane to go...

    How smooth is your Viper???

    Depending on the year, it's a very definite possibility that it's just a normal cam thing. I have a '97 GTS and by the way it idles you'd swear I was running an aftermarket cam. I had the car in for a flywheel install yesterday and made a point to ask the Viper Tech (a very good one) if...

    Slotted vs Drilled...

    I'm curious as to which rotor would be best, slotted or drilled. I've read that slotted are stronger, but from a visual standpoint I like the drilled better. Most of my driving is done on the street, but expect to start doing more track events... can I still use a drilled rotor? Thanks - Richard

    AC Removal

    Can someone tell me what kind of gain I could expect on my '97 GTS by removing my AC...or at least by-passing the compressor by using a shorter serpentine belt. I rarely use the air, even on the hottest days here in Michigan. Is the added HP worth the effort? Are there any engine MIL issues I...

    how come......

    Probably because a GTS-R is a racing Viper... I think you meant GT2, in that case yes, as Chad says, because there are only 100.

    Any word on the NEW stuff?

    Hope I'm not beating a dead horse here, but I've been putting off the next order of Zaino hoping Sal will be releasing the new product soon... has anyone gotten word on this? Thanks.

    throttle bodies

    Rick, if you haven't made previous modifications to your Viper, increasing the size of the throttle bodies can hurt your low end performance. I changed my stock 65mm TB's to 68mm's, but only after installing headers, exhaust, T&D's and having my heads worked over. Unless your going to open up...

    EBC Green Stuff

    Just installed EBC's Green Stuff brake pads last weekend. Even after quite a few stop and go's to seat the pads and then a drive around town, the rims had virtually no dust when I arrived home. Even better than what I had expected. Thumbs up on these pads!

    Speed Bleeders

    Can anyone provide opinions on the one-way Speed Bleeder caliper valves. Seems like it would be easier than working with 2 people, and lots cheaper than a pressure brake bleeder tool. Thanks!
