    Found a project 97 viper A.R.T. for sale, tell me what you think....

    I have already sent someone to look at this. Frame is kinked in the front airbags are blown, the impact even blew out the rear window. That being said this will do well over $25K with the supercharged motor. Last week a 96 B/w with 20K miles did close to $30K.

    Water in my oil

    I really would suggest a leak down test before you start tearing into things. You have had a lot of issues and if the tune was bad you may have blown a head gasket, cracked a piston, ect...(did you notice any metal in the oil?) I have read that some gen2's have had timing cover problems, but I...

    Backfiring and popping; what now???

    is this a lean backfire or rich backfire? There is a differance. How do the plugs look? Typically if you "hang up" and injector it will skip not back fire and also cause you to foul out that cylinder. DO NOT disconnect the injectors with the car running to find the skip. This may cause you...

    Bait and Switch at Parts Rack

    you have to be lazy or dumb not to be able to get the same information JonB is peddling. These cars are not that exotic, fairly simple to work on and we have two differnat web sites with tons of information. I have bought from him, but he is not the first person I call. Plenty of other...

    Salvage title... What's it worth?

    I have never seen a viper go for less than $20K unless it was still wrecked. I watch these every week.

    injector flow rate

    cheapest thing to do is use the gen2 injectors, but your not going to get 35# out of them.

    Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Coil packs

    are they interchangable? They appear differant and the four pole has a differant plug (looks like the same as a neon) If I change the plug will they work if I retain the orginal gen1 firing sequence? (the gen 2 packs are labeled differant)

    Pictures from Carlisle

    dont bother, dump that garbage and get a vec2 or AEM. I have a split second PSC2 I will sell cheap, its ok for 500-600 hp but will not be good for anymore than that.

    Are Viper wet sanded at CAAP?

    orange peel is due to low pressure spay that just psses the paint on. The wavy look on the doors and qty panels is due to the molds. They do not wet sand and buff at the factory unless there is serious paint issues (dust, runs, ect) and even then then just send it back to be refinished. The...

    Problem: Sputters at 1500 RPM

    no, it may seem like its getting better. Pull the plugs and look at them, what side of the motor seems to skip?

    not once... but twice... turned down by a stealership for a VIper alignment...

    lowering the car is not going to change the rear caster, just the camber and maybe the toe

    Problem: Sputters at 1500 RPM

    mosly likly plugs, wires, or one of the coils. it may be a plugged injector also.

    I know the proceedure and "special tool" and would be willing to dispute your claim. I agree it takes a couple hrs to do it correctly. But I can be done with std alignment tools.

    Thoughts on taking viper on vacation to Virginia Beach?

    overkill and not necessary. Take it to a reputable shop (not your local Midas) there is nothing special about the viper suspension.

    Wondering about the headgasket problem?

    you should probably talk with Chuck Tator and not Jon B about this. It actually better that you drive the car if you have the old style gaskets. Regardless-call Chuck and talk to him about why the headgaskets fail.
