    Gen III Passenger Door Handle Spring

    Don't suppose you still have the old assembly you took out? If you do I'd probably just try taking it apart to see how it goes together and if you can find a matching spring for it. Depending on the spring though it could be interesting. Not sure if it's the style that wraps around a pin with...

    Are the side exhaust covers insulated from the factory?

    Those sound very similar to what I have on my gen 3. I wonder if someone retrofitted the later model heat shield to your car maybe? The gen 3+ shields are pretty much held on the same way, just a pair of screws at the bottom corners. Mostly just there to keep it in place while installing as...

    Michelin All Season 4 Versus 4S

    My dad had an 03 with Invos on it when he bought it. They seemed like a nice enough tire, though I didn't put many miles on them in the seat. I drove them on a track back to back with my car and they seemed to have a very similar feel, at least to my inexperienced hands. On the road I thought...

    Michelin All Season 4 Versus 4S

    I would think you'd probably be fine with the AS4 for that. I've had the PSS on my car pretty much since I bought it and have really liked them. They were a great all around tire and have worked for me pretty much year round. I know you're not supposed to drive them in winter, but I've never...

    Easy Cleaning

    Here's a quick reference picture of what I was talking about: Just look up windshield cleaning tool and you can find them all over the place. You can really make one out of a spatula and a rag as well if you really wanted (I've seen it done).

    Easy Cleaning

    I have seen products advertised that are kind of like a swiffer sort of wand thing that either already has a microfiber pad on them or you can clip a rag. Basically just makes wiping steeply slanted windshields and stuff like that down. Could work for the rear window maybe, but it's still...

    Front Chin bumper scraping problem

    Has the car had any suspension work done? It seems odd that you would be hitting it in so many places, so almost sounds like someone might have lowered it. You could always buy adjustable coilovers to raise it up a tad though. Less typical for sure, but no reason you couldn't as far as I'm aware.

    Owner of the 2001 Dodge Concept Viper GTS-R

    Yeah, they were converting the old Viper assembly plant to a large meeting space and were still displaying cars there from time to time for company stuff (and I think you can rent it out as a conference center kind of thing). So all the cars are still around, just not necessarily on public...

    Differential Unit.

    You could also swap up to the gen 4 setup. And I'm not sure I would necessarily call the gen 3 unit "weak". I think the bigger problem people had with them was the locking unit itself. I think it tended to lock and unlock a little more inconsistently or something like that, so it wouldn't put...

    European Gen IV versions?

    Can you even put a gen 3 motor in a gen 4? I would think the controllers and stuff would not get along as the gen 4 went full CAN bus and the gen 3 was still the PCI setup. Maybe I'm wrong there though. I know the engine controller itself would have changed at minimum, but I guess that's easy...

    European Gen IV versions?

    Never heard of that before, but I'm not that in the know when it comes to export stuff. Don't suppose you have any links or pictures? I could maybe see them keeping the old engine due to emissions issues or something where it was already certified and they couldn't get the new one approved...

    Gen 3 vs 4 blocks and cranks

    Only 2005 and 2006, but I think you also have to have a computer to match that. Guessing you couldn't put a 2006 block in an earlier car and run it on a 2004 computer for instance. You'd have the crank sensor issue as well. Seems like the 05/06 was kind of like the old "gen 1.5" in that way...

    Gen 1, Gen 3 engines

    Yeah, whole different control system between the two, so that is going to be a big challenge. Physically speaking they are similar enough sizes that you probably could swap them, but actually getting the car to do anything after that is going to be the difficult part. I'm guessing the front...

    Door popper, keep it or cut it?

    I added one to my mom's 94. It's kind of handy on those gen 1s just because they don't have the inner door handle. They can actually kind of help with security as well in a way. If you have a set of solid windows in the car with no slider, you can just shut the door and it's almost as good as...

    Changing rear gears

    The speedometer runs off of the wheel speed sensors, so I believe it should auto adjust without you having to do anything. It just cares how fast the wheels are turning, not the transmission like earlier cars.

    New viper owner

    Very cool, welcome to the group! That one definitely stands out in the crowd even more than a normal Viper.

    Stock amplifier Pinout Diagram

    Here you go. I got very familiar with these since I had to rewire mine, lol. I actually managed to figure out the connector part numbers as well. I got at least one mating connector so I could use factory wiring and plug aftermarket stuff straight into the harness instead of slicing things...

    New front tires 275/40/18?

    Good to hear. Usually such a small step shouldn't cause much issue unless you are pushing the limits of your suspension already (like something heavily lowered). I know my back tires have kissed the inner fender on my car from the look of it, but I think some of that is also just old tired...

    What is normal Valve train noise?

    Have you got any mods on your car? The open nature of the hood vents add to the noise some I think. I put a cam in my car and had to swap to hardened pushrods and different springs and mine was really loud as well. Certainly more than stock, but even before sitting at a stoplight with the top...

    Reducing Underhood Temps

    Wow, that's odd. Do you have any mods on the car other than the headers that might cause extra heat (like a supercharger)? I know that area in general can be a pain for a lot of people with aftermarket exhaust, but it's usually more of a routing issue where the wires end up touching the actual...

    SRT10 - searching subwoofer disassembling instruction

    I forgot there is another ***** on the top outside by the door jamb on either side, but that one should be pretty easy to see. I think it's just the six screws (and the roll hoops) that hold it all in there though. 2 screws under the plastic sill covers, two above those by the door jamb, and...

    A/c compressor pre-oiled?

    I think just about any replacement A/C unit comes pre-oiled nowadays, but hard to say for sure. Any chance you can call the place you ordered it from to confirm?

    Gen 3 Interior Top of Door Trim Failure

    Yeah, I don't really blame you. I know it's there, but I don't really deal with it if I don't have to.

    SRT10 - searching subwoofer disassembling instruction

    Getting access isn't too bad. You need to pull the covers over the side sills first. They just lift straight up and are held in with push clips. That will let you get to a ***** that holds the rear panel behind the seats on. Slide the seats forward and you should be able to see a ***** on...

    Black accent around exhaust pipe outlet

    Yeah, it's all part of the rocker panel. The groove around it is just pressed into the panel to set it off more. You could paint it whatever you wanted. I think I have seen some be body colored, though you'd just need to be careful to get high heat paint probably.
