"The" Daily Driver
1. PCM and other unique electrical components. I've been lucky so far, but it is uncontrollable. :crazy2::crazy2::crazy2: 2. 335 tires in 17". Somewhat controllable and probably just more expensive. :crazy2::crazy2: 3. Bodywork that can't be repaired, like headlights. Should be available used...- Tom F&L GoR

"The" Daily Driver
You can contact Leslie, she posted that she has some Brakeman#3s for sale. They'll do fine. :omg: Window frames were a challenge because the outline of the opening is a complex 3D shape. On a do-over I would have curved the rear edge to follow along the door "wing" but that would cover up...- Tom F&L GoR

There was a nice type of weatherstrip I found you may find useful. It was at McMaster Carr. Don't know if this link will work, but it's item #11. McMaster-Carr I think you'll have to scroll up to see the image.- Tom F&L GoR

My 1st at fault accident, unfortunately I was driving my Viper!
When I first did the oh-oh/panic/lockup/slide/ouch thing I ran over a brake marker sign. Sorry to hear about your accident and I know the funny depression you go through. The bright side is for 10% of the repair cost you can add rear brakes that will greatly cut down on the lockup, cut car...- Tom F&L GoR

Shell's response on 15/40 Rotella in Viper-Tom?
Good question. The change was coming, but it's still a better formulation and I recommend to keep using it. In an EPA diesel emissions test, anything that gets caught on the exhaust particulate filter is considered "soot" and therefore "bad." Sulfated Ash is a measure of the detergents in...- Tom F&L GoR

More of the "new" daily driver. One secret to the windows is to paint a 1 1/8" border around the edge on the inside. From the outside it looks kinda nice and nobody can see the frame or tabs welded on.- Tom F&L GoR

"The" Daily Driver
I am an advocate of driving Vipers as much as possible. Many of you have a performance target that reaches to fourple digit horsepower or XXX MPH. I did some track events, some autocross, but now my target is a commuter car. To each their own, right? My Gen 1 came with a 3" exhaust and after...- Tom F&L GoR

One of those hard-to-find sport bar pads for sale
Mine. I have a hardtop now and won't be going back. The pad is in good shape (never saw a "bad" one) and will take whatever pictures you want - it's kinda long and skinny for an overall picture. Or call me 845 at 235 this 6392 number (clever way to avoid spam?!) Gen 1 Sport Bar Pad -...- Tom F&L GoR

Dumped 3L of coolant... What Gives?
If the fan was off while driving and you turned it on and shut down the engine, even if the fan continues to run, the coolant isn't circulating. The warm (very warm) fluid in the block will not pass through the radiator anymore, expand, boil, and puke out. That's not too surprising. After...- Tom F&L GoR

Poll: Daily Driver yes or no...
I'm recycling. After a while I scrape the dust clods off the wheels and press them back on the brake pads. It's advertising. When the back wheels are as dark as the fronts, it shows the rear brakes are actually helping slow the car. It's because I'm lazy and it's a daily driver. Mostly...- Tom F&L GoR

New seats are installed
It's nice, but the trademark police wouldn't like that you have one logo overlapping another. You would not believe the hassle when the word "Havoline" first overlapped the Texaco star on the Yates #28 car. Anyway, the seats is surprisingly pleasant. LET'S SEE YOU SIT IN IT EVERY DAY!

Transmission tunnel leak
I started removing some of the factory goo from the tunnel wall. I can stick a screwdriver in the gap between sheet metal sections (aiming towards the transmission.) My reason for going slow is that I don't want to plug up the bottom of a brace and have it fill with water and stay full. I'll...- Tom F&L GoR

Transmission tunnel leak
;) No, when hydroplaning across creeks. :omg: Actually, it leaks (seeps, really) when raining (a lot of rain) and sitting in the driveway. The clue was lifting the carpet from the floor and finding water, but the door was dry. Looking elsewhere, pulled the carpet off the trans tunnel wall and...- Tom F&L GoR

Transmission tunnel leak
I have water accumulating on the driver's side floor. It is coming from a factory gooped-up seam on the right side (transmission side) wall of the driver footbox; approximately across from the door hinge. It is about 2"-3" above the floor. Looking at the chassis and parts images in the service...- Tom F&L GoR
