Value of older tires?
I have a set of the original pilot sport tires off a 99 Viper (replaced them and set them aside when I bought the car 5 years ago). They look great, 85% tread or better, but at their age I'm sure they've hardened up and wouldn't be very driveable. Has the viper become "classic enough" for...- djacob372

Viper tech in/near seattle, WA???
I need some help finding the best place to service my 99 viper in the Seattle area. I used to take my car to bill-pierre dodge, but it's been sold. Maltby Motorsports in woodinville is also highly recommended, but they've vanished as well. I've heard there's a viper tech at the dodge...- djacob372

Fuel guage off?"scan guage" is your solution!
My 99 rt's fuel gauge reads 1/2 when full, and pegs at empty with nearly half a tank left! I did a search on this problem, and this appears to be extremely common with gen1-2 vipers. I bought this handy device and problem solved: ScanGaugeII - Trip Computers + Digital Gauges + Scan Tool...- djacob372

corsa exhaust, inlet size question...??
I'm ready to order a corsa cat-back for my 99 rt10. I plan on sticking with stock cats for now, but I may upgrade those later. My question is should I order the 2.5" inlet, or 3" inlet cat-back? Considering that I may go with 3" cats in the future, but need to fit the setup to the stock 2.5"...- djacob372

hardtop hoist.... has anybody built one?
I spent last weekend fumbling around my garage trying to figure out a good way of setting up a hoist to lift my hardtop off my car quickly and easily by myself. I made one attempt with a rather lame design, and luckily my hardtop survived unscathed. :-0 Has anybody else set something like...- djacob372

stock cats --> 3" corsa exhaust
I have a 3" corsa cat-back that's going into my 99 rt, I'm considering sticking with the stock cats for noise and ease of installation. A couple of questions: 1) I don't have a good place to work on the car myself, how hard is it to find an exhaust shop that will install aftermarket cats? I...- djacob372

Custom upholstery shop in Seattle area?
Can anybody here recommend a good custom upholstery shop in the seattle area? Some of the plastic in my viper needs to some leather, and the fuzzy stuff on the doors has to go! :-0 I could go with snake hydes, but I'd prefer the ease of a local shop; taking the interior apart and shipping it...- djacob372

Kelly blue book values and vipers????
It appears that the kelly blue book values don't adjust for mileage correctly on vipers. For example a 99 viper with 50k miles is considered "low milage" and hence has the same reported value as the same year with only 5k miles. Anybody have some insight into how to make the kbb data make sense?- djacob372

new viper owner, my hood is dented.. how's that possible?
I've had my 99 viper rt-10 for a couple weeks, and I've just now noticed a shallow, baseball size dent in the hood just above and to the right of the middle air intake. The paint in and around the dent looks perfect. So how does composite hood get a dent in it without a crack? Could this...- djacob372
