    Frame rails

    Do you see the square hole in the bellypan right behind the diff case in the second picture. Now, if you use the rear a-arm mount as a reference, look at he top picture. The hole in the pan lines up with the cross member running behind the diff. I've always used a rubber pad and put my race...

    P0138 Code issues

    Yes, that particular problem was corrected by replacing the O2 sensor. I suggest wrapping it in some extra thermal wrap at the base where the wires go into the sensor and using a metal tie to secure the wrap. The wrap and the stock thermal sock seems to have kept the wires from burning through...

    SRT10 Advice!

    Normally, I'd just let this 505HP thing fly by, but I've been seeing it a lot lately... so just to nit pick. The 505 on the air filter housing of a gen 3 does not represent a horsepower figure... It's cubic inch displacement.

    KW Variant 2 Adjustment / Settings

    I set mine to 4 clicks off firm, and have been happy with it. Compaired to the stock shocks and runflats, the KWs with PS2s ride so much better anyway even on the stiffer settings.

    Starting Car on Jack Stands? Safe/Unsafe?

    Personally, I won't do it... especially if you have solid motor mounts :P

    Help Diagnosing Noise form Rear

    I'm still shocked nobody has commented on the threads showing.... I do not have Motons on mine, I have KW v2s so I can't comment for sure. If my KW v2 looked like your photo however... I'd be wonding the same thing as you. I'd probably pull it off the car and check that it for over all...

    P0138 Code issues

    Yeah, I find it very odd. I guess that because emmisions control is so tightly regulated and such, that code the engine light and the oil temp gauge going to 0 was done to "scare" people into bringing their cars in right away. That's the only thing I can figure about it. I'll get it swapped...

    P0138 Code issues

    Got em, installed the same time as all the other mods. Figured it would be better to do everything at once rather than keep tearing the car apart. Put in the mounts, belangers, B&M shifter, KW v2s etc.... That was 3 years ago, guess it's just time for the O2s to die this summer :P I did...

    P0138 Code issues

    Hmmm.... Grrrr.... Well, when I swapped out the passenger rear, I did buy an extra O2. Looks like I'll be swapping out another one :P Why does this crap always happen to me in the middle of the summer!!! Grrr.

    SRT-10 engine in BMW Z4 Coupe, but no space for oil filter

    Sometimes people just want to do things that are fun and challenging, not practical. I applaud his efforts & besides, without this kind of stuff, yourtube would be a boring place :P

    P0138 Code issues

    Well, took a quick trip up to the local 7-11, and on the way back the engine light popped on. At the same time, the oil temp gauge dropped to 0. Because I was only a couple blocks from home, and the oil preassure and water temps looked good, I kept going for home. I put the reader on it...

    Tack welding tips

    There's no issue with using a TIG at home except the inital expense of the welder. My Syncro 250DX can pull up to 88 Amps at 220v, but that's on the extreme end of the max setting, like 3/8 in plate aluminum. Doing a roll cage or similar steel is so much lower on the amp range, less than 40...

    Gen 3 seats eat money

    I found much the same when I had the seats out for the autoform install. I found several bucks in change, a bic lighter, a ballpoint pen, and a still valid credit card from the previous owner.

    Tack welding tips

    The only tip I can give you is on the welder.... You will get HF quality welds from a HF welder. Even an experienced welder will have pretty ****ty results with a flux core HF MIG, and usually... Experienced welders wouldn't even use it :P That said, if all your going to be doing is a couple...

    BAD FM Reception

    Probably stock exhaust... I used to listen to the radio, then I put on the belangers. Now to hear anything I have to crank it to levels that are stupid so I pretty much gave up :P

    replacing rubber shift boot

    I had the same problem. I thought about 2 routes to go. Drill a hole to access the bits, or perhaps put some sticky glue in there then slam on the brakes to get the bits to stop sliding around.... Well, I drove it for awhile, and they quit rattling around eventually on their own. They must...

    2003-2010 Model year exhaust differences?

    I thought the heads on an 08+ were different enough to prevent using the headers on a gen 3 car?

    Any Interest in my Stock '06 Exhaust?

    I have most of my 05 stock parts in several boxes in a spare bedroom... I will eventually give them away to folks here who need replacement parts. I shipped out the stock cats / flex pipe last year to someone who needed them on this forum. I'm a packrat and just can't seem to throw stuff like...

    Trade in value?

    I did not test drive mine before I made the decision to purchase it, private party and all that. Most people will understand this is not something to be test driven by the average schmo.... Seen the Allstate Mayhem comercial? I would take someone for a test ride.... not a test drive, not that...

    How to install KW v2's - replacing stock shocks?

    Another note. When I put mine on, I lowered the car quite a bit, just couldn't stand the trail rated look on the Viper.... After I got done tweeking it, I took it in to my local vipertech for a full alignment, I didn't want to eat up the new PS2 shoes I put on it. That alignment took over 4...

    Gen 3 Cat Catastrophe

    Blown cats on the drivers side was the start of a several month long journey for me that ended with my motor being shipped out for a rebuild back in 2008 when the car had less than 9,000 miles on it. Don't F around with the cats, fix it and fix it right..... Either get an aftermarket setup (...

    Pricing

    I don't normally watch the G4 channel, but I was flipping around and stopped on "Attack of the Show" covering the April 4th auto show. The guy covering the show was the web reporter dude from Adam Corollas' car show on Speed (now cancelled). If I remember right, he stated the SRT price was...
