    Viper got smoked (literally) Need help!

    Holy crap - that was your place? I saw it on the news. Let me know if I can do anything for you or your family. You know I'm just a phone call away. Side note - maybe you just turn it into a full track car now??? :)

    Driving Shoes (What you wearing?)

    Haahaa!! That's pretty good. I have used Puma's for a while, but do like Piloti. Very comfortable.

    Track tires

    What about wheel / tire size? I should have clarified that in my original post - I am very open to using a different size wheel/tire combo. I understand there is a small mod required to the e-brake to run 18" rear wheels which is no problem at all.

    Track tires

    I have a Gen 3 and have been using Hoosier A6/R6 (autocross/track) tires on OEM 6-spoke wheels (275/35/18 and 345/30/19) which are great, but ridiculously expensive. Nearly $1400 a set with mounting and they don't last long. Are there other less expensive options? What about "used" tires...

    Drive it or sell it

    Sad. I put 2,707 miles on my '06 coupe in one road trip two weeks ago including a track day at Firebird Raceway near Scottsdale. Most fun I've had behind the wheel in as long as I can remember.

    DD Vipers

    Good point. I have been considering dd my '06 coupe for a few months now, but I am concerned about the perception of my co-workers. I'm not sure it's all that appropriate for my job/company, but thats more of a personal thing. On a side note, I just did a 2,700 mile road trip in 5 days and...

    Brake Pad Wear - Feedback needed

    Much appreciated. Any advice on the existing pads needing replacement?

    Brake Pad Wear - Feedback needed

    I just assumed they needed to be changed. The rotors are grooved and have a slight "lip" on the edge of the rotors. When I took the wheels off, I noticed the amount of pad left and figured I'd throw it to the people on the board.

    Brake Pad Wear - Feedback needed

    Good evening all, I went to change my pads and rotors tonight and when I visually inspected the ones currently on the car they looked pretty meaty still. Based on the attached photos, should these pads be replaced? They have about 6mm of material left. (First two photos are rear, Second...

    Valentine One

    Nah, mine have been broken on my '06 for a year now. Smoke literally came out of the switch. Power mirrors are overrated. So are brakes.

    Autocross Alignment

    Oh, if you are ok going into ASP (vs. SS) get yourself a good set of shocks - I suggest Moton. You think the car handles good now....you ain't felt nothin' yet.

    Autocross Alignment

    Good points Mark (thanks again for the call regarding the brakes the other day - sorry we missed each other. I use 2 degrees negative camber in front and rear with some pretty aggressive toe out up front and slight toe in in the rear (also on A6s). The turn-in for autocross is outstanding...

    Grease on inside of wheels?

    Thanks Jason - I hope the autocrossing is going great! I should have let you know I was at Buttonwillow last weekend. Sorry about that...

    Grease on inside of wheels?

    I'm confident it is not from the shocks, I just installed a set of Moton shocks and they are still really new. This is sure what it seems like to me. I just cant seem to find any visable rips, tears, etc. No, I have not, but this could certainly be it! Thanks for all the suggestions -...

    Grease on inside of wheels?

    I noticed a buildup of grease on the inside of the rear wheels on my 2006 coupe. It looks like it could be from the ball joints or axles (like if the CV boot was torn). I initially noticed it, completely cleaned the wheels, and now its back again. I visually inspected the CV boots and the...

    Nor Cal Only - Used Gen 3 Tires

    I have a set of used PS2 rears (345/30R19) and used Run Flat fronts (275/35R18) from a 2006 Viper. I'm asking $35 per tire or $50 for two - open to offers. The rears are pretty low, but still have life in them before they hit the treadbars. The fronts are really in good shape and have more...

    Took the ACR out to the track (video)

    Thanks for posting! Looks to be a pretty "safe" track in terms of lack of walls and lots of runoff. My home track is Thunderhill and I'm just looking for a change of pace.
