    Rear wheel breaks off!!!

    All: After reading this thread (and scaring myself considerably in the process), I too purchased the reinforcing brackets from Snake Oyl and had Dan Cragin install them today. Perhaps it was unnecessary; however, at the least I won't be wizzing down the LA freeways while wondering in the back of...

    All: Thank you for your input - I will let you know the shop I use. Big"O" had previously said they could do them with no problems, but the rounded rim on the "backs" were a problem for them, despite their new machine. Thanks Again - Lynn

    Quaife and 3.73's installed

    It's good to hear you like the Quaife rear-end and lower gears so well. If it's not too much trouble, can you tell us what RPMs at various speeds (say 50, 60, 70) you are turning in 4th, 5th, and 6th gears? Also, from your brief description, it sounds like you changed the rear-end without using...

    How do you keep the rear end at the rear?

    As Boxer12 stated shifting takes a little practice. The 3rd to 4th shift can easily turn into a 3rd to 2nd miss-shift and real problems – the trick is to shift from 3rd into 4th with your thumb down and palm turned to the passenger side of the car. Besides keeping the wheels straight while in...

    Accessing convertible top latch on 2004?

    scottcot: I checked my 05 factory manuals and can find nothing that directly shows the installation or removal of the convertible top latch or a diagram; however, in the "Interior Section, page 23-70/71" there was an assembly order for removing and installing the Bulkhead Quarter Trim Panel (the...

    06 Service Manual

    In my opinion the factory manuals either hard-copy or CD are the way to go, despite their higher cost.

    Locked keys in car - 06 SRT coupe

    What you can do is hire a locksmith, I was at a car show one time with my R/T 10 and someone reached over and stole my keys out of the ignition while I was talking to another person about the car. I was 150 miles from home and no spare key. I hired a locksmith and he come out and put a blank key...

    Removing front splitter/diffuser: any safety issues?

    King Ray: The technique works for other cars as well, my Lexus LS460 for example; as you said it sure beats having the ramps "move" as one is driving up on them. The rhino ramps I use cost about $50.00 a set and are about 6 1/2 tall at the highest point; I have two sets and had the Viper up...

    Removing front splitter/diffuser: any safety issues?

    King Ray: Regarding getting a Viper up on ramps without scraping, I simply jack one side of the car up with a low-profile hydraulic floor jack applied to one of the four jacking pads (2 front-2 rear) that protrude from the frame and slip the Rhino Ramp under the wheel, then repeat for the...

    corsa exhaust question

    ROYMAN: If you haven’t already, do some searches on removing the side sills (especially alignment of the tip with the side sill removed and the best way to get to that pesky nut at the front/top of each sill) - you'll find some helpful information that will assist you in the installation. Good Luck!

    Heat from transmission/console

    Shawn: I removed the aluminum belly pan from beneath the transmission and rear end and the center console heat situation was immediately bettered. Its not difficult to do and as long as you stay below 150 mph I would think the increased drag shouldn't be too much of a problem. Give it a try...

    Borla Exhaust and crossover pipe question

    I just installed the Borla exhaust on my ’05 and as discussed in countless threads at this site, scrapping the crossover when adding a new system is one of the best moves one can make to their Gen 3 Viper. The Borla fits nicely, however, please take the time to search threads regarding...

    Where should I start with trying to cool the cabin?

    <That makes sense, but why did DC put it on the Vipers? I'm thinking rigidity and aerodynamics. Not sure I’d remove it.> Andrew: If I'm not mistaken, the plate is there as an aerodynamic aid to keeping the airflow smooth and correct at very high-speeds (150mph+), as are the vertical...

    Where should I start with trying to cool the cabin?

    Robbie: I kept no record of the exact degree of cooling achieved when the aluminum plate was removed; however, as stated, the difference was very noticeable especially when driving in traffic at slower speeds. Just run your car as-is and then feel underneath the car to the plate area. The plate...

    Where should I start with trying to cool the cabin?

    Regarding the cabin heat - Believing that most of the heat was coming from the engine/transmission and not from the just the side-sills as is usually blamed, I removed the aluminum pan (streamlining sheet metal) from under the transmission and the difference was immediate and very discernible...
