    Bought my first Viper!

    Venomiss, thanks for posting the link.:drive: I think that we're mostly done for this year. Some are saving their money for the Voi 11 and the rest are mostly localized events for the rest of this year. There will be a private/corp./club cruise from Williams Lake down Hwy of Death (Hwy...

    gen2 vs gen3 looks yet again

    My car seemed to attract the most attention, but it has chromed wheels and the Venom spoiler really made a difference. I even bought a Venom spoiler from Larry Macedo (Macedo Motorsports) because they work and look great. Ted

    2002 Stock Rims/Tires For Sale...

    Runcraps are ZPs. As you can tell (because I didn't post a classified ad) I wasn't really getting serious or in a giant rush to sell them. It was more of a when someone posts I have and know of another set for sale to help out. Shipping to the US is probably about $500 to much of the US so...

    2002 Stock Rims/Tires For Sale...

    Sell. Add lots more money and buy a set of used lightweights for a spare set. Being 18" Forged wheels these are upgrades for all pre-99s and great for a collector.

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    LOL, seriously Jance, never take any chances on the braking system. Our country is so full of bad laws that people don't realize that an accident can be their fault, due to a technicality. The reason I suggested a PRo is because some of them are stupid (as you seem to know with your truck...

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    You removed the stock PV/distribtuion block from the rear braking system? Then Yes, the light will be on unless you hotwire(?) the sensor conector? I believe that your car is now illegal everywhere because you have disabled the brake safety warning system bypassing the safety sensor...

    2002 Stock Rims/Tires For Sale...

    Too funny ... but I have 2001 stockers. DRs with a little tread and PS1s with lots of tread (not new). Excellent shape. I also know there is a set near Ohio with minoir curb rash. Ted

    I've been bitten

    Congrats! Is your "high performance model" stock of high performanced? I suggest some track time(road course/Hi perf. driving courses) and even some AutoX (done at highway speeds) to learn the beast preoperly. Biggest improvment for most Vipers is the driver. First modification, driver as...

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    "It would almost be easier to burn this car so no one gets hurt than to HOPE and pray everything works...." I'd delete that comment and hope that there's no reason for an insurance claim 'cause that comment would void your insurance (only if you need it of course). You can always pay a pro...

    gen2 vs gen3 looks yet again

    Something to keep in mind is that there were only a few Gen 3 hardtops so nearly all SRTs are convertibles. Gen 2s were almost 50-50 verts and coupes. Ted

    Finally received my Sapphire GTS

    Congrats, so sad, sue the B**stards! Don't sell the Belangers until your wife has heard stock (it'll make her choke). My wife really prefers the stock small tube headers, Hi flow cats and Corsa street exhaust on my ACR. Get her to check out my ACR in the video. The 98 Red/silver GTS has...

    smooth tubes?

    I suggest Silicone hoses as they are much better suited to the heat. Sounds cheaper to buy from Steve. Semi tractor parts outfit wanted $10 per inch for 3" hose. The size of the hose should be according to your TB size. K&N air filters (cloth) and the smooth tubes equal 10hp. GTS 450 vs...

    SRT-10 Rear Diffuser Blades on GTS (Pics)

    Dave 6666 built a rear diffuser plate and bolted it to the rear of his GTS. There should be an Illustrated Upgrade on it. I agree, extremely easy to built out of thin aluminium.

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    Once the stock PV spring is removed, fullbrake pressure goes to the rear. The way I used to add an adjustable Pressure Valve was to cut the rear brake line and plumb the new PV into the line. All the new PV does is allow your to set the pressure reduction by hand. Shouldn't matter where it...

    Turbo Kits: Front Mount vs Side Mount

    Sean Roe's TT was being an installed price cheaper than all the kits I read about. However, it was built as a Gen 3 and I didn't ask about the Gen 2 since I like my supercharger. Might be asking about, if you're shopping

    Max muffler size in the sills?

    I suggest buying an engineered system from Corsa. They make 2 sets (street an track) depending on the noise level you want. At VOI X the Corsa tech showed me a cutaway of their "muffler". A straight through pipe with 2 small (3/8" x 3/4") oval slots inside the pipe. The bulge that looks like...

    Air to liquid vs. Air to Air intercoolers

    Paxton uses a water - air - water - air. Factory turbo systems usually use an air - air Intercooler. I believe that ZR1 uses an air - water - air - water system, but am not familiar with it. Most aftermarket systems use air to air. Most Paxton systems upgrade their drive belt tensioner and...

    another one bites the dust..

    Glad you're good and although the car looks pretty good, I see the roof is broken and the entire car structure is bent. unfortunate. Good luck in replacing it. The atitude I used when my 98 GTS was wrecked (and when I divorced) was to replace with better than I had before. I went from...

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    I'm sorry, but aren't you supposed to merely empty the spring from the stock proportioning valve and use the new PV between the rear brake line and the old P Valve with a short connector line between the new and the old PV? Or just cut the stock rear brake line and instal the new PV in the...

    Bought my first Viper!

    Is this Mike and Julie's car? You could just polish the wheels to a polished finish and clear coat them to change the look - They would still be original and powdercoating or spray paint would be back to original looking. I'll pm you the email for our membership director. Now that you own...

    This rear end shot shows what I was saying, Looks to be about 6" more above the tires on the Gen 3.

    gen2 vs gen3 looks yet again

    Notice that the Gen 3 did eventually get the ducktail spoiler and hardtop (faster) body style of the GTS. There does seem to be a difference as far as so many people saying that they thought the Gen 3 was "wider and lower looking". I couldn't uderstand that comment. Trying to load my GTS...
