    2006 AC drain question

    A couple of weekends ago, I noticed some moisture underneath the matt on the passenger side. It was a super hot day and I had the AC blaring. It wasn't a lot -- but definitely moist. I went under there earlier today and reseat the V shaped hose that I assume is for condensation. I let the...

    Viper

    Just got to say, after many months of ownership, I still get giddy when I see the Viper in the garage. [Actually, I wrote a different msg here but couldn't delete it -- wrong sub forum.] :rolaugh:

    Decided not to sell.

    Had my car listed for a bit since my wife passed away suddenly. Decided tonight that I'm not selling it. With the weather getting nicer, I foresee many nice days/night of driving. I know my wife wanted me to get the car initially. I'm pretty sure she'd want me to keep it with her gone. Steve

    Change finish on iForged Astra

    Hey guys. I bought my SRT with Astras on it; anthracite. I'd like to change it to brushed aluminum. Is that possible without hurting the wheel structure? I was thinking of getting them powder-coated. I'd like to keep the lips as is, just change the color of the "spokes". Thanks! Steve

    Williamsburg C&C

    Harold and I will be attending C&C this weekend in Williamsburg. If anyone else wants to brave the cold (heard it's supposed to be up in the 40s but who knows), drop me a line. The event is on Facebook (search for "cars and coffee williamsburg"). Steve

    Learning to drive the SC'd snake.

    I've been puttering around for the past couple of weeks, trying to learn the particulars of this beastly car. I've had many 400HP+ cars but this is my first 700HP ride. This morning, I decided to see flex her muscles a tiny bit. After getting everything up to temp, including the tires, I...

    Hampton Roads - Best detailer?

    Anyone have a recommendation? Got two cars that I'd like to get fully detailed. Would prefer a mobile job if possible (have an indoor garage here at work in Yorktown).

    I'm back in the saddle.

    Got bit by the Viper fangs a long time ago. I've had a 93, 97 GTS B/W and a 00 GTS Black/Grey. Back in 01, I sold the 00 and went in another direction (Ferrari 355, NSX, SC Saleen, Eleanor from GISS and more). Well, I'm back. Torque and HP, I have missed thee. I'd like to thank Greg...

    New Belanger Headers/Exhaust installed.

    I just installed Belanger Headers, exhaust and Random hi-flo cats. First, let me say this car is much louder. I will definitely be waking up the neighbors, even at idle --- and I love it! The "seat of my pants" dyno indicates a huge gain in HP! Heads are turning before they can even see the...

    More Gen III GTS-R prototype pictures

    That's the only car that would make me sell my GTS. Steve

    Has anyone had a bad experience with NOS?

    Ok, I see people on-line posting about their gains, etc. I'm intriqued and doing research. I have a 2000 GTS which will soon be equipped with Belanger Headers/Exhaust and High Flo cats. I'd like to add a NOS kit to go past 500HP when the juice is turned on. Any bad experiences or should...

    Dyno Help Wanted

    I'm going to take the GTS to a dyno shop here in town this weekend to get a baseline set of numbers before adding a few upgrades I have on order. Do I need to know anything? They charge extra to do some "o2 wideband testing". What is this? I hear you have to hook that up to the car...

    Automotive Performance Meter

    I just picked up one of these for the Viper. I'm going to do a 0 - 60 run right after work. It's from www.race-technology.com. Has anyone used one of these? Supposedly, they are much better than the GTECs. Steve

    Console Integrity

    Personally, I'd change that Camaro-looking shift-knob. <grin> That was the first thing to go in my GTS. I have it sitting on my desk at work. I should keep it by my bed at night. If the house is burglarized, I'll boink someone over the head with the stock shift knob. I've had the...

    Tire Stem Caps

    Steve, Those are indeed the ones I have. I want to make sure I don't end up marking the wheels at high speed (although I have yet to hit 100 with my Snake (give me time though)). Thanks guys! Steve

    Tuner in VA or nearby state?

    I'm looking into the Header/Exhaust combo from JonB. Does anyone know of someone in the NC, MD or VA area that could help me install these? Thanks! Steve

    Something went... "POP!"

    Something went... \"POP!\" Ok, I'm tooling around at a very respectible rate of speed, 35 in a 35 MPH zone... up comes the 45MPH speed limit sign so I downshift to second and accelerate hard. (Ok, I'm guilty of wanting to have a little fun in the snake!) Something went, "POP!" in the back...

    Excessive Lifter Noise in a 00?

    I've had a 93 RT and a 97GTS... my 2000 definitely sounds different... as in the lifters are louder. Would this be normal? Tick tick tick tick'in Steve...

    Break-in?

    How did everyone break-in their viper engine? I find this the worst part of my experience so far... (grin). I really want to put the pedal to the metal but am having to hold back. Argh! Steve
