    Stamped Fin Number location?

    There was a thread on here lately exactly about this. Can't remember what european country it was but he had the same question. https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/vin-another-where-is-it-thread.678687/

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    Are you talking about a GTS-R tube-frame racecar builit by ORECA? Or, do you have a road legal replica? Below is the very first GTS-R racing chassis built. After GTSR, they all will have sequential C**. This VIN/Homologation plate is on the toe box below the windshield and above the driver door...

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    Back from Hastings with no change in the vibrations. Have only just started post-event inspection and nothing out of sorts. I will try loosening the motor and trans mounts, get the floor jack under the oil pan and lift gently to resettle - same with the trans, then re-torque all 3 fasteners and...

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    I believe it is on the top of the upper passenger frame rail. Behind the headlight pod, ahead of the shock tower and near the hood hinge inboard mount. You are correct, there is no GTC from Chrysler.

    T56 tranny parts

    I'd like to shorten my 5th gear to 0.85/0.86 and keep my 0.5 6th for highway cruising. Is this possible, or are the 5/6 gears machined as an integrated pair?

    Cam (NO HEAD WORK) Question :)

    Somebody can probably find the video, but a guy did a really nice YouTube of ECU tuning improvements on his gray/silver creampuff. I think he picked up 30-some HP with just basic mods?

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    There's no more tire-induced vibration, but the shifter still has some harmonics in it. Time's up and I'm going to run it as-is.

    Cam (NO HEAD WORK) Question :)

    Beware - if you have a Gen 2, the earlier heads had some pretty noteworthy casting shift leading to thin port walls and water leaks with not much grinding work. It's advisable to talk to a reputable porter who has experience with Viper heads.

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    I went out this morning and scrubbed the marbles off the A7 rears, then drove by Discount and made a will-call appointment to have them balanced. I don't recall the vibration with my street tires, but didn't drive very many miles on them since the trans swap before mounting the Hoosiers.

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    No play at all in the yoke. I put one hose clamp on, drove it 4 times with it indexed 4×90 aligned with the u-joint ears. The #2 was maybe a tad better, but not significant. Seems to synch with rear tires in 4th gear a bit, and they need balancing.

    Michelin 17" PS2s available NOW!

    I have a flat spot on one of my 275-17 fronts. The rule of thumb is they don't heal themselves. I emailed JonB at PartsRack and had a new pair delivered within 2 days straight from the factory in S.C. Michelin may not be the most inexpensive choice, but the PS2s are the BEST road tires for our...

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    Dave, just a straight-up transmission swap. I went thru all those other parts about 4500 miles/3.5 years ago. Most of the driving has been street/highway with 4 events at COTA, 1 at Road America. Mike, it felt perfect going in but I am considering that. I think I'll start with 1 clamp on the...

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    I had a bad synchro or blocker ring in 3rd gear, so I swapped in a known good transmission, put some new u-joint straps on and went for a spin. There's now a minor shifter vibration under accel/decel above 3k engine rpm. No vibe when declutched. Prop shaft was indexed to the diff yoke pre/post...

    DRB III

    I'll have to check which ones mine came with but it was one heck of a buy. God mine is S-L-O-W! I'm guessing it has more to do with the JTEC bus speed than the DRB, but it pains me every time I plug it in. I mostly use it for checking my adaptives and Inclinometer/Viper Alignment functions.

    Oil Temps

    Ideally, you want oil temps a little over 212F so that any condensed moisture in the sump will boil out. The oil cooler is water-jacketed.

    Gen1 Roe Exhaust Question

    Cats are bi-directional. I would recommend Moroso Spiral Flow mufflers. They come in 2.5 and 3.0 inch diameters. Very nice low rumble, not raspy or loud. Do you have side, or rear exhaust?

    Gen1 Roe Exhaust Question

    You typically want them very near the primaries. The G1 & 2 cars had them in the front of the sills, just where the turnouts went parallel to the centerline.
