    Front end suspension clunking problem solved!

    For the last couple of years, when reversing out of the driveway, I'd hear a single definitive "clunk" in the front end and then when moving forward from reverse, I would hear that "clunk" again. I couldn't figure out what it was and it was stopping me from even attempting to get the car on a...

    2008 Virtual Viper Player courtesy of Dodge Canada

    Just a heads up if you haven't seen this. There is a free 2008 Dodge Viper screensaver called "The Virtual Viper Player" for Windows XP on Dodge Canada's website. I had some issues installing it but it finally worked after just waiting for a while. Seems to be a slow install for me at...

    Vinyl overlays for badging?

    I have a 2001 yellow RT/10 and I was thinking about black badging. I really want to keep the car stock so I was wondering if you can put a black "clear bra-like" material over the raised badging and carefully trim it. Could this work? Has anyone done something similar to this? I don't really...

    Done driving school before?

    Hi All, Just curious how many VCO members have been involved in driving school? I have not done so yet and because of this I'm on the fence about any track event as I really want to try but am a little worried about breaking something or being a little over-zealous and not being able to...

    Ontario VCA Members: check in please.

    If you are from Ontario, would you make a quick post here? After being on the forums for a couple of years, I'd like to figure out which VCA forum members are part of our local Ontario club. I've also wondered what year, colour and model Vipers are present in our club too and if you have any...

    Online VCA renewal coming for us?

    Quick question after reading the following announcement at http://forums.viperclub.org/showthread.php?t=601081 Will we also be able to renew online? I honestly have used only two cheques 9after having to look for them) and stamps (had to look online to see how much they were) in the last two...

    Spring is here! What is your Zaino technique?

    genvipdis-ML-805311-ML- In all fairness, this is not a Gen1/2 topic, and the Gen3 guys will have some input too, so I'm going to relocate to General Viper Discussion.

    Spring is here! What is your Zaino technique?

    I have spent a lot of time searching over the winter for just what to buy and what is best for a car that has been waxed but has never seen Zaino. I want to use a clay bar also so I understand I need "Dawn" to wash it and a clay bar but the Zaino product line is confusing and there is...

    Installing SVS Shifter. Did anyone have problems?

    Hi, I am attempting to install the SVS shifter from the top today and I have it in but in testing it, it seems that I can't do reverse because it hits the ashtray box. It hits the ashtray box when I shift to 5th/6th but it goes go in gear. There is no room for reverse. Has anyone had this...

    Front hardtop latch not locking

    I have a 2001 hardtop. The drivers side front latch is fine. It "locks" into place but I cannot "lock" my passenger side and the squeaking/rattling is unnerving at times. Is there an adjustment that can be made? Thanks, Santo

    Sport bar clear plastic strip

    There is a clear plastic strip next to the sport bar pad on the sport bar that is a little hacked up due to what appears to be a previous owner not being able to find the "holes" for the hard top. Is this strip available? I can remove it but I like the added protection. Thanks, Santo

    What's the weirdest comment you've heard?

    What\'s the weirdest comment you\'ve heard? I must say that owning a Viper has produced many comments but I got one that I just am not cut out to reply to. Spoken by a male teen in front of friends: "Can I have sex with your car?". If it was a young hot female, it would have been a different...

    Oil cooler line leak

    Hi All, I just replaced my oil cooler lines as they appear to have rubbed together and one of them became frayed and poked a hole in the other one. My dealer could not get one of the two lines so after a week of waiting and coming up empty, I went to a hydraulics shop that makes up hoses for...

    Technique to detailing engine?

    Hi Folks, I want to detail my engine. It's dusty right now because of a new subdivision and I had a leak in one of my oil cooler hoses down below which I don't think is noticable from above but I was wondering if I can just spray on "Simply Green" and hose it off and that's good enough or if...

    Installed Foam tubes on my Viper!

    Okay, I thought I'd get your attention with that title :-) My RT soft top looked like swiss cheese after the previous owner allowed it to bounce around in the trunk so I just bought new material from A.A. Best Co. I am getting it installed as we speak but I needed to devise a way to prevent it...

    Passenger window rolls down too much?

    This is kinda hard to explain when you don't know what the pieces are properly called so here goes... My passenger window rolls down too far. The glass hits a stop on the guide opposite the hinge side when being rolled down and the "female" plastic piece that pulls the window down on the...

    B&M Shifter Question

    Does a B&M Shifter lower the shifter for a Gen II Viper or will it look completely the same? I'd like to lower the shifter an inch or so and would like to get a new short-throw shifter at the same time. I did a search but could not find an answer to this. Thanks in advance, Santo

    Vipers everywhere in Toronto...

    It's Viper season in Toronto... I have not seen a Viper in 8 years on the road and I saw two in two days. I'm sure I saw Wormdoggy (Patrick) in his red SRT 10 (I have never seen one on the road) with a smile from ear to ear on his face (okay, it was only a glimpse as I drove in the opposite...

    Why six bolt rims?

    The questions have started since I dusted off the Viper and this one was interesting. It came from a fellow motorhead. I did a search but couldn't come up with anything. Is there a particular reason why Viper wheels have six bolts as opposed to five? Thanks in advance, Santo

    Is driving a Viper on gravel sacrilidge?

    Do any of you drive your Viper on gravel roads at all? I have a cottage that has a short piece of road that is gravel (maybe one kilometer)including the road leading up to the cottage that is gravel (so is my driveway there). Am I going to cry about my side sills or is it okay occasionally? I...

    Shortening 2001 Shifter?

    After searching, I found a link to Rich's Shifter parts at http://www.richdetert.com/ViperShifterParts.htm Have any of you used it on a Gen II and if so, what length did you go for? It appears to be for a Gen I, from the pictures and I'm not sure if it will work. Thanks for any replies, Santo

    Turn your Vette into a Viper?

    Saw this Viper replica kit on eBay. Even if it was in decent shape (looks like it's not worth the scrap value for material used)... that's just wrong. Santo

    RT/10 rear bumper finish

    I've had my car for a couple months now and wondered why my rear bumper did not have a black strip between the raised bumper and the exhaust tips like a lot of other ones here. I assumed my rear bumper had been painted, perhaps. Well, cruising eBay, I just saw a similar Viper 2 VIN numbers...
