    Time for a new viper??

    Why is it that my viper only attracts 16-22 year old boys in Honda's that want to race? Am I hanging out in the wrong places?? I mean sure I'm married and I got the car because of the power, not to show off to anyone. Now I have had my viper for 5 years and feel like I'm used to the power...

    well sort of. If there is anyone out there that has done a high flow cat upgrade or install straight pipes and gotten the dreaded check engine light from doing so there may be a cheap remedy. I installed random tech high flow cats about a year ago on my 01 RT/10 and ever since kept getting...

    Motor Mount install help!

    Well, I decided that I was going to install poly mounts into the viper this weekend. I gave up for today as I ran out of sunlight. I must say that this job is much more challenging then I expected, so much so that I'd rather eat glass then do this job again. It seems simple, loosen some...

    Don't know if Walmarts pricing is regional or not, but I just picked up two 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 for 17.78 down from 23.76 for the last year or so, that is here in Tampa, FL area. That's about a 12 dollar savings on one oil change for me, what can I say I am a cheap bastard.

    Changed plugs today

    Changed spark plugs today in my 01 RT10. Everything went really smooth. I took my time with it, making sure to verify a 0.035" gap on every one. It took about an hour. Cylinder #9 was kind of a bitch, I removed the harness holding the wires to get at it. Also when I removed the boot on #1...
