    Texas Viper Roundup

    For those that missed it, this was the 8th annual Viper Roundup and even with the rain in Central Texas, is was an EXCEPTIONAL weekend. Ryan and the Central Texas group did an awesome job of putting together events, dining and drives that didn't require a VCA badge ... a VOA badge ... a Viper...

    '01 Airbox and original clutch

    I'm in the process of moving into a new house and have stuff from when I first started modding my Gen II. I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to hang onto the original airbox (I have a K&N box installed) and the original clutch (no problem with it, just put on a BBG clutch) or not? I could sell...

    '01 Sapphire and Silver color formula - wall paint?

    We're building a new home and I've been lucky enough to have my 'financial advisor' (wife) supporting me in setting up a garage just for the Viper ... hopefully VIPERS. I'm wanting to do some trim/decorating in the garage with the '01 Sapphire blue and silver. Does anyone have a color chip...

    Gen II Outside Door Button - degraded finish

    My Gen II driver's side door button (outside) is showing wear in the 'rubberized' coating that came on it from the factory. A replacement from Scharf's is $100 ... a bit high for a minor cosmetic item. Has anyone found a product that can be used to 're-coat' or refinish the button? The GTS is...

    Did you make it to the Tail of the Dragon on the way or way back?

    I went a little out of my way to make sure that the Dragon was on my 'check off' list on this trip. Got there yesterday and did one run to the South and passed about 6 Snakes running the other way. I was really holding out until this morning (Wed) to go and join up with others. Made a number...

    Putting a new clutch and flywheel in ... you want to help out?

    BBG, I got a PM about a relatively new clutch and mating flywheel that you guys have developed. Haven't seen much on it so here's your chance. Gen II, NA GTS looking for a good match for 'spirited' street driving. What do you guys have under covers that we should all know about?

    Gen II Seat cushion removal?

    Anybody know how to remove the lower seat cushion on a Gen II? I want to check the tubing for the lumbar support, but would rather not pull the whole seat out. I checked the service manual and searched on the site, but can't seem to find Gen II info.

    Alarm light on dash - how do you replace it?

    My LED on the dash (2001 GTS) is so dim that you can hardly even SEE it, even at night. I know that LEDs lose their potency over time and mine is WAY overdue. Tried prying it up with my finger nails (hoping beyond hope that it would just pop out), but that wasn't going to work. Has anyone...

    Exhaust - Cat Back = what?

    I feel like a real noob asking, but I haven't been able to get a definitive answer. I already have Ballenger headers and RT high flow cats, now I'm looking to upgrade the last part with 3" pipes and a good sound. When Corsa or Borla says 'Cat Back', is that including the CATS or not? If COULD...

    TPMS alarm settings?

    After ruining a tire due to a puncture and unknown pressue drop, I added an aftermarket TPMS to my Gen II GTS wheels to let me know right away when I had a problem. I'm looking for advice on where to set the minimum pressure and maximum temp alarms. I normally run my PS2's at 30psi (cold) and...

    MattDillon (Gerry) and Shane's recovery

    Guys, You may or may not have been following our fairly local Viper owner that is dealing with his son, Shane, going through DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) here at Cook Children's in Ft Worth. The thread is a little long, but it shows the compassion that our other VCA members have shown towards...

    Gen II alarm LED replacement?

    I noticed at our regional gathering that my 2001 GTS had a very dim LED on the top of the dash to signal that the alarm was activated. I know that LED's get dimmer over time, so it's best to just replace the original LED with a new one. I've searched threads on VCA and looked in my repair...

    Calling on Junkman - Foaming shampoo?

    Hey, AJ, I've been using my foam gun for a while and love the results, but I'm trying to find the best soap to use in it. Adam's worked great, but it took a LOT of shampoo ... about 50/50 to get the foam nice and thick. I've tried Meguire's and Mother's from the auto parts store, but not happy...

    GTS couple at Viper Roundup...

    You guys were out at Harris Hill today and we talked a little about the Wife's upcoming addition to the family. One thing I forgot to tell you on the color selection is that a Sapphire car is even harder to keep looking good than a BLACK one! I've had black in the past and thought it was tough...

    Will rear defuser help keep bumper clean?

    My '01 GTS gets dust and sand on top of the bumper and in the license plate area with only a short trip (1 mile) from home to the highway. I even get bug splatters on the REAR bumper when running the highway at high speeds. Will adding a defuser under the car at the rear change the air flow...

    Silver w/Black stripes - 35W into Ft Worth

    Saw a Viper going to work today between Burleson and Ft Worth at about 7:20 a.m. Didn't recognize the car, but in the few seconds that it zipped past me in the fast lane, I thought it was a Gen III or IV that looked a lot like a GTS:dunno:. Somebody on here?
