ONLY KIDDING! Sorry, but i just wanted to get your attention!

ok, here is the real story behind this post.

jay and I have decided that we would like to finally get a list together for the Registry, of all the parts on our cars that interchange with other cars.

the first item i know of is our rear view mirrors. they are off of a Mitsubishi Eclipse? Is this right?

tell us the rest of the parts that you know of in this thread so we can get this list started. THANKS!

I think there was already a post about this that had a ton of interchange parts.

The ford headlight switch really hurt me the most.

 

[Asp Man]

Mirrors are the same as Mitsu 3000 or Dodge Stealth.
Steering column is the same as Dakota, I think, at least on GenII.

If you mean the side view mirrors, they are off a Mitsubishi 3000GT. Not sure about the rearview mirror, but I've never heard of any Eclipse parts being on a Viper. I've got a 98' Eclipse Spyder (which happens to be for sale ) and nothing looks the same to me

Anyone know the year/model they're off of? I need one

Not sure if the 96 model had the gen2 or gen1 headlight switch...
Its the Gen2 twist style switch that's a ford part...Same part that i have in my ford van

Its a gen 1 switch. Only controls the headlights and you pull it out as opposed to twisting it.

Gen 1 spindles and a arms-Dakota
If you ever go to a tire shop and they can't find the right configuration for their balancing machine, just tell them Dakota.

 

[LETHAL GTS]

The Gen 2's are the same, but aluminum a arms.

 

[Paul Hawker]

But not off just any beetle. Believe they are off the upgraded SUPER BEETLE!!

I actually drove one a super beetle in college. Its claim to fame was a curved windshield, different front suspension, and a fan for the heater.

The front Caliper's are also standard fitment on a Seat Cupra R...(Euro Car)

"Notice the suspension arms(Gen 1 Viper prototype). These Dakota truck parts were quickly deemed unsuitable for the production Viper"

Right, it is only the hub that is from the Dakota. Not the entire A-arm.
