    "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...

    "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...

    Ted, what software do you use? I have an old Vericom and the software is not compatible with Windows XP...

    "The" Daily Driver

    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.

    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...

    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...

    "The" Daily Driver

    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.

    "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...

    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 -...

    Stripe and Wheels . . . Thoughts?

    No stripes and 5-spokes. How do I vote that?

    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...

    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...

    Poll: Daily Driver yes or no...

    DD rule #137, subsection 12 (regrading DD with stripes): When parking, DD stripes must be parallel to parking lot markings, regardless of color of stripes on DD or on pavement. DD rule #72, subsection 31 (regarding photographs): Posing the DD constitutes actions detrimental to the order of...

    Poll: Daily Driver yes or no...

    Pffft. What kind of parking job was that for a DD? Taking two spots and also grass-o-phobic? Did you hack into WallyMart's security camera system?

    my last track event was SMOKIN'...literally!

    Hope your suit includes some Depends! Wow. So what happen to the brakes - belt come off and hit something?

    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! PS...

    Sneak preview. Bad lighting (sunset.) Poor fit (weatherstrip not replaced since paint.) Dusty (normal.)

    I was waiting, too. The "non-white" paint was finally completed today, actually, and hope to get pictures (mocked up, actual install starts Monday) tomorrow AM.

    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...

    You mean you now "tool around"?

    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...

    Qui. Zee pis-ton' may need a little pushing, too.

    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...
