In light of the recent gen 5 price cut I'm going to return my gen 3 coupe to stock and get rid of it in order to pick up a TA. Everything has ~2k miles except the headers, exhaust, and wheels which all have ~5k miles on them.
List of things I need to get rid of:
Blue quality plug wires - $100...
I was finishing up my heads/cam install tonight and while tightening the nut on the passenger wiper arm the bolt just snapped in half. I looked it up and it appears as if I'm going to have to buy the entire wiper assembly. Anyone know if I can get just the bolt or will I be going wiperless this...
So I finished up my head/cam swap tonight and fired the car up for the first time. Sounded weird the first time and then I remembered that I had forgotten to reconnect the O2 sensors on the driver's side (driver's side exhaust was the last thing I installed so I was getting anxious at that...
Will the Hurst shifter knobs listed on VPA work the MGW short shifter? I ordered the blue MGW gripper knob, but the blue is way off from both the interior blue accents as well as exterior paint of my FE. I think the hurst shifter would look much better but I want to make sure it'll fit before I...
For those of you who have done a cam swap with the engine in the car: do I have to remove the fan and radiator in order to get the cam out or is it possible to lift the engine enough to clear those things? I'm almost to the point of removing the cam (pretty much everything out except the timing...
I'm in the process of tearing my car apart for a heads/cam upgrade and I can't for the life of me get to the bottom bolt for the #9 cylinder. I've tried an open-ended wrench, long extension through the manifold with both a regular socket and torx socket, and a ratchet with a swivel head. Is the...
Anyone here have their before/after dyno graphs for a cam swap? I just want to see what various cam specs do to our torque curve. I tried searching, but it seems everyone just likes to talk numbers instead of posting graphs.
I'm looking into what I'm going to do to my car (gen 3) over the winter and I've been thinking about porting my heads and having the intake port matched. Has anyone done this without upgrading the stock cam? If so, what were the gains (and dyno sheet if you have it)? I had a cam in my previous...
I'm starting to look into what I'm going to do to my car over the winter and I'm looking for ideas on interior upgrades. I'm leaning towards getting some stuff wrapped in leather (door panels, console, anything else?). Anybody want to share pictures (and cost) of said upgrades? I also like the...
Last fall I went to a dyno shootout with my bone stock car and it put down 450rwhp/490rwtq on a DynoJet. Over the winter I installed K&N intake, M&M catless headers, and Corsa 3" exhaust. I couldn't wait to see what kind of gains I made, but when I tried to schedule a time to get my car tuned I...
I took off both of my door panels to get to the regulators and noticed that the previous owner had taken the doors off at least once. One of the trim strips wasn't attached to the door panel at all. I put the panel back on (just lined it up without fastening it) without the strip and it looked...
So last night I found out that I have aftermarket speaker in my doors (Infinity 6500cx to be exact). However, now I can't keep looking at them because they stick out and I know they aren't stock. I've done some searching and it appears as if the Polk DB651S speakers will work with the factory...
How do I get the grill off of the door speaker? I saw another thread that said I had to remove 3 screws, but I don't see any screws. Does the grill just pop off?
I broke the tab on the intake air temperature connector. Can anyone point me to a PN/site so I can get a replacement or is it even possible to just get the connector?
I've had my Viper for about 3 weeks now and I've been itching to get a baseline dyno before I have to put it away for the winter and start on the mods. So, I went to a dyno shootout last night. Numbers were a little higher than I expected. Final run was 450/490. I was amazed at the amount of...
Just bought my Viper the other day and I'm already looking to replace the entire exhaust system (headers back). I have a few questions, though. I came from an 07 Corvette that I installed everything on by myself (H/C/I and full exhaust). How hard is it to replace the headers and exhaust on the...
I traded in my 07 Corvette for an 06 coupe (#116) yesterday. The car is just as amazing as I had imagined (apart from the stupid window indexing). Here are some pictures:
