    Need to sell my GTS fast: $25,995

    What a deal. That's a hell of a lot of car for 25k. I'm sure it'll go quick.

    Touch-up Paint?

    I haven't tried the Mopar stuff but I have had very good experiences with these guys. You can get the paint in various forms (spray can, touch up bottle, can of paint, etc.) https://www.expresspaint.com/

    Gen II - A/C went out.... ???

    I've had my AC system recharged twice. The first time the dealer just added dye so that we could find the leak later. When it ran out again, I took it to DC and they replaced a line. By the time summer rolled around again, the AC was no longer blowing cold... again. :( I'm gonna be peeved if...

    There is a steel gray snake in my garage now

    Congrats on the new toy!!! That's a heck of a lot of car for $30k. Vipers sure are a great bargain. :) For the exhaust, I have the same setup as what you're talking about. Just the resonators in the side sills, but the back muffler has been replaced with an x-pipe, and I do have high flow...

    New Shocks, Brakes, Wheels, yeah!

    Hi guys! It's been a while since I had anything exciting to post but I just finishing a bunch of work on the car and wanted to share. First off, a big thanks goes out to JonB over at Parts Rack. That guy is a machine! I wanted a big brake kit and new shocks but was having a hard time coming to...

    Vendor Review - PartsRack - StopTech BBK

    I just ordered a set of the same brakes, but in red from JonB, and he also got me a stunning deal. Every time I purchase something from Parts Rack, I am even more impressed. JonB/Parts Rack should always be your first stop for parts. :D

    Hi-Flo cats for SC viper?

    I run RT's on my Paxton car and have for several years. I did loose one once because I had an O2 sensor bite the dust. Not really the fault of the cats. Other than that, they have worked great for me.

    Gen 2 Edelbrock headers

    I've had these on my Paxton 97 GTS for 4 years now and am very happy with them.

    Dyno Results From Paxton Install

    My 97 made 596rwhp after the Paxton. Before the Paxton, it made 440 at the wheels. It also has Roller Rockers, Edelbrock Headers and Random Tech cats/exhaust. No additional tuning, just the straight Paxton kit.

    Kumho V 700---Your experience?

    I run fully treaded V700's on the street. My Paxton'd GTS now only hunts for traction in first gear. No matter how hard you shift, they grab in second and beyond. I hit the occational autocross as well and they're equally impressive there. Have them shaved if you're going to hit the track or...

    Wheels - Powder coat vs. Paint ?!

    I've had black wheels on a bunch of cars. Most of them were powdercoated, but the black Motorsport wheels that I had on my Z06 were painted. Honestly, I didn't notice a difference. I got rock chips on both.

    18inch SSR wheel and tire question

    I thought the V700's were discontinued as well, and for a long time, they weren't available any more at tire rack for example. However, today they seem well stocked so I dunno, maybe Kumho decided not to kill them. Suits me. I love the V700's for the street and autocross, and you can't beat the...

    18inch SSR wheel and tire question

    I'm running the V700's, and SSR's, and I'm running 305's up front. They fit perfectly.

    Paxton or Turbo Boosted Progressive Water / Methanol Injection Kits

    Found an answer to my own question. Saturday night I finished the install. Drilled a small hole in each intake tube which was just barely big enough to get the head of the nozzle in. This made a really tight fit around the small neck of the nozzle (before the threads start). Put a little...

    Paxton or Turbo Boosted Progressive Water / Methanol Injection Kits

    Got my kit over the weekend. Nice work! Nice wiring harness, instructions, etc. Well done. Have a question though, if I install the nozzles into the silicon intake tubes, how do they seal air tight and not back out under boost? Silicone sealant maybe? Something else?

    Paxton or Turbo Boosted Progressive Water / Methanol Injection Kits

    Wow, great info. Thanks for the reply. I ordered one of these kits. I'm stoked. Can't wait to put it on!

    Paxton or Turbo Boosted Progressive Water / Methanol Injection Kits

    I can vouch for the Paxton loosing power after just a few seconds of boost. I saw a 30 rwhp loss on the dyno during back to back runs. Quick question. Does the Paxton kit, or stock computer pull timing due to high intake temperature? If so, then it seems like you'd want to install the line...

    Paxton or Turbo Boosted Progressive Water / Methanol Injection Kits

    Genious! Not sure why I didn't think of that. Awesome. Will order shortly.

    Paxton or Turbo Boosted Progressive Water / Methanol Injection Kits

    Quick question, where does the reservoir go? No room under the hood with the Paxton.

    Beauty and The Beast

    Awesome. Funny enough I almost purchased an Esprit V8 Turbo instead of the Viper. I had my mind set, but the dealer kept having problems with the ABS system in it and it delayed the purchase. In the mean time, a guy down the road from me put up his Viper for sale, and I bought it instead. I've...
