    My DIY differential gear change

    I am going to attempt to document my DIY differential gear change project. Like many, I intend to swap out the stock 3.07:1 (too-tall) gearing in my 2005 Roadster for some 3.55 gears. From what I gather, not many choose to do all this work themselves, but my love for wrenching and learning new...

    Decided to DIY my diff -> 3.55 gears. Couple questions...

    I'm getting ready to switch out my stock gearing for a 3.55 set this winter. A while back, I asked whether this was a reasonable DIY project or not, and I get it that most folks advised me at that time that this was something I should just take to a pro to do. I appreciate that input, and it's...

    Any tips on swapping a Gen3 hood with a Gen4?

    My ebay find of a Gen4 hood just arrived and I was going to see how it bolted on tonight, with the help of a buddy. Any tips? Is it just a bolt-off / bolt-on / align-it kind of deal? I understand that I'll have to deal with grills and a pad at a later point, plus possibly bumpers / gaskets...

    DIY differntial gear change... reasonable?

    As many have done, I'm ready to change the gears in my '05 vert from stock to 3.55:1. I'm not entirely opposed to paying someone to do this, but I really enjoy working on my own car and am trying to assess the difficulty of this job as a DIY. I was hoping the factory service manual might...

    Any RB1 (radio) experts out there?

    Hi -- just picked up my first Viper, a 2005 roadster, about a month ago. I'm loving it and working on a few upgrades. The first was to pull out the RBQ radio and replace it with an RB1 that I got out of a 2005 PT Cruiser from a wrecking yard. It appears to work just fine except when it...

    DIY halfshaft questions

    Hi Guys, New owner here ('05 vert) with a couple questions about replacing one of my halfshafts. After getting the car up on blocks for the first time, I found a cracked (damaged?) CV boot on the outer end of the driver side halfshaft. I'd like to consider doing this myself, as much to save...
