    Battery Tender Problem

    Just curious if any of the forum have run into this problem before. I generally keep a Battery Tender on my '99 GTS if I leave it parked more than a week...had so much rain this past summer, it seems like it was on the car more often than it wasn't! Anyway, I last drove the car about 2 weeks ago...

    Mobil 1 Special....

    Stopped into the local Pep Boys to buy an oil filter for the CTS and saw that they were selling Pep Boys 2005 Calendars for $1.00 with proceeds going to MADD. Calendars have coupons inside for Pep Boys products and found a Mobil 1 coupon, buy 3 quarts and get 3 free. They give you the deal right...

    new aluminum flywheel

    Every winter I get into this thing about upgrading the Viper with a new bolt on...nothing real fancy, just something to spice it up for next spring. It's a '99 GTS with WCV ECU modification, Random Tech hi flo cats, 3" Corsa, 3.55 Unitrax differential, tubes and filters. Car runs great, looks...

    Hi Flo Cats

    I've got a set of Random Flo Cats purchased a few years ago along with a 3" Corsa cat back on my '99 GTS. Smells like I might have blown out or otherwise failed one or both of the cats. Besides that, the car is louder than ever, which I really don't mind, but the smell is raunchy! Can't find my...

    Help!! Cat's bad??

    Help!! Cat\'s bad?? Got a strange symtom, need some ideas. Raced a guy at the end of last year and ran the car, full throttle, thru first 4 gears. The O2 sensor "check engine" light appeared a day later, had the car checked and the tech said it was a down stream sensor indicating one of the...

    Alarm is dead...what happened??

    Just before Christmas, I posted a message regarding a dead battery and what size DieHard to buy. I've got a '99 GTS and the "78" series DieHard Gold fits perfectly, so that issue is behind me. But...now the alarm system won't engage. Drove the car after the battery was installed and she ran...

    New Battery Question

    First and before anything else, Merry Christmas to everyone! Now the battery question...my '99 GTS finally crapped out the battery. Even with a steady diet of the Battery Tender between driving, she finally gave it up. Checking the forum, I decided on a new Diehard Gold. Just too many mixed...

    3.45 or 3.54

    I went thru this same question when I got mine done a couple of years ago on my '99 GTS. Had mine done at Unitrax with the Super Dana gear set. Not sure anybody alive could tell the difference seat of the pants wise on 3.45's vs. 3.55's. Mine are 3.55's and I love 'em.

    just how quick is a 03 S/C Mustang

    OK, now I hope I'm not wasting your time, but thanks for reading this. I guess I'm just an old guy who likes to surf the VCA site when he's bored. I've got a '99GTS that has a bunch of mods, runs great and I love it. Anywho, I read the other night in the Off Topic section about a 03 S/C Mustang...

    short throw shifter

    Last year I bought a short throw shifter modification from Rich Detert (an independent that used to sell his conversion here on the site) and just never bothered to install it. It's a steel rod, threaded on both ends, to take the place of the steel and rubber connection between the shifter and...

    Going to 3.54 gear... mabey?

    I think www.smokemup.com is a website that has a program where you can actually calculate what your looking for. For what it's worth, my '99GTS is generally stock (tubes, K&N's and Corsa 3" with Hi Flo cats)along with 3.55's from Unitrax, and I'm thrilled with the 3.55's. Almost feel guilty...

    Another Corsa 3" System

    Another Corsa 3\" System Or better yet, another very, very happy 3" Corsa system convert. I originally bought a Corsa 2.5" system for my '99 GTS and later upgraded it with the Random Tech Hi Flow Cats from Jon B. at the Partsrack (that's a plug for Jon). The 2.5" system sounded pretty good...

    Need a set of 18" tires.

    Re: Need a set of 18\" tires. It's going to be tough to beat the prices that you'll find at the Tirerack. All you need is a credit card, and 3 days later they're on your doorstep....plus no sales tax.

    Water Wetter didn't do a thing

    Re: Water Wetter didn\'t do a thing Well, I'm far from being an expert, but I'll tell you my experience with Water Wetter in an '87 Corvette I used to own...no difference in water temp, and if you know that car, it had a digital readout for the temp and pressure guages. You never could see any...

    Corsa Exhaust....

    Always alot of comments on exhaust sound/manufacturer and whose sounds best and whose is fastest and whose does what. Thought I'd pass on my experience to whoever may be interested. I installed a Corsa 2.5" cat-back system last year on my 99 GTS and was initially fairly pleased with the sound...

    Cats Removal

    I can remember some posts from the past regarding removing the cats on a stock exhaust system in a '99GTS, but can't remember the comments on sound level and/or tone changes or comments on power increase. Also, if you do this, is there a modification available to trick the O2 sensor so the...

    Differential Ratio....3.45 or 3.54

    Don't laugh at this question...it's taken me a year to find a Viper tech that'll come to my house and remove my 99 GTS diff so I can send it to Unitrax to have the gears changed. Doing it over the winter when downtime isn't critical. Which ratio is the most favored....3.45 or 3.54? Just used for...
