    Winter mod list...

    I used the 2.5 inch spiral mufflers. Sorry, the Viper is tucked away for the winter, no sound clip available.

    Winter mod list...

    Consider using the Moroso Spiral Flow stainless mufflers instead of a test pipe. I installed these on my RT/10 in place of the cats. NICE!!!

    Viper runs hot when sitting in traffic

    My 95 was doing the same thing following a coolant change. Burping alone rarely eliminates all of the air in the system. I suspect you still have air in the system. The "Wizard" (Chuck Tator) recommends carefully removing the heater hose connecting the thermostat to the heater control valve...

    Anyone using a two post lift for storing their Viper during winter months? Thinking about adding a two post lift so that it would offer me the versatility of working on tires/brakes/suspension.

    Supercharged + Belanger + Catless + Borla XR-1, too loud?!

    I had Borla Headers and the same Roe exhaust setup on my Gen I (not supercharged), a bit loud and too much drone at highway speed, needed ear plugs on a long trip. I changed to the following: - kept Borla headers - deleted Roe HF cats and replaced with Moroso stainless spiral flow racing...

    hole in soft top

    Iron-on black fabric patch from the underside works well. You can purchase fabric patch on line, fabric stores, etc. Remove the top from the car and open on a flat smooth surface with the interior of the top facing up. Cut a circular piece of the iron-on patch about 1/3 larger than the area...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    I just attended a plant tour of the Penzoil facility in Detroit (River Rouge Blend Plant) with fellow MCVO owners yesterday. The Penzoil folks shared a ton of valuable information. A few pointers worth sharing area as follows: - Penzoil, Shell, Quacker State are all owned by the parent...

    New Viper (new to me..)

    TIRES TIRES TIRES - if the tires are older than 5 years, replace them (top priority). Consider changing all fluids if there are no maintenance records that reflect recent fluid changes (radiator, transmission, differential, brake fluid flush, clutch fluid flush. Several posts on recommend...

    94 battery replacement

    Battery is located in the rear drivers side wheel well. You need to remove the rear drivers side wheel using a jack stand for safety. Then remove the rear portion access panel of the inner fender well, about 5-6 bolts to include the rear fascia bolts and two frame mount bolts. Not a...

    1995 Power Steering fluid question.

    I have been using Valvoline synthetic power steering fluid for years. Use a turkey baster to remove the old fluid from the reservoir and replace with fresh fluid. Repeat this process after you have driven the car for a few miles 2-3 times and you will have replaced the majority of old fluid...

    Cars fall into sinkhole at National Corvette Museum

    This is a VERY unfortunate event! However, I could not pass up the opportunity to take a dig at my brother who owns a Corvette.....all in brotherly love. I told him they just learned that the sink hole was the result of a Viper Den that was discovered beneath the museum. Still waiting...

    Vipers and Haters

    I will start by saying that anything on four wheels that has nice body lines and timeless styling are cars to behold, i.e., Jaguar XKE, AC Cobras, etc. With that said, Corvettes are one of the absolute best bangs for the buck in American and/or European automobiles. However, Corvettes are a...

    ear splitting exhaust noise

    I realize that you would prefer not to replace the existing system due to cost. However, I went through this same problem with my 95 and changed out to the following setup last year with excellent results. 1. continued using Borla stainless Headers that were previously intalled 2. replaced HF...

    Like INDY said, "Positive to + location next to fuse box. Negative to ground on door sill behind wheel well." I recommend the Deltran Batter Plus charger, around $55 from most auto store or on Ebay or Amazon.

    Is this Stock?

    No way is the wrap stock. I would be concerned about fire, especially if these are stock cats. If you are looking to eliminate the heat issues, go with hi-flow cats or cat deletes (srtraight pipe.

    Did the 1996 Viper RT/10 have head gasket issues?

    Does anyone know if the 1996 Vipers have the notorious Gen I head gasket issues? I know the 96 is a transition year, but not sure if the head gaskets were upgraded. Thanks!

    Gen I lives again!

    My wife and I were in an accident last October after getting caught in a heavy downpour. We hit standing water on the expressway and spun out three times finally hitting cable barriers in the median. Fortunately, we were not injured (kudos to the engineers that designed the Gen I). The car...
