    Mystery Screw Left Over: Window Regulator Clip Replacement

    I very carefully collected all the screws and nuts and when I completed the job, I had this one left over. It has the oval head w/washer which implies it is a trim screw with the head visible. But I'm at a complete loss. For now, its in a labelled bag. Any help would be appreciated...

    Black GTS w/Red stripes and Yellow wheels... Yes?... No?...

    EDIT: Wow, I never thought the response would be so..... sensible! Wow, no wonder the guy still has those yellows for sale. My original thought was to have red wheels and red stripes but I guess that sucks too, right? ____________________________________________ I took a new 2000 GTS to...

    Should unavailable parts discourage me from buying a Viper?

    Viper -v- Corvette should never be compared. EVERY Viper is fast. Only a handful of Corvettes with mega options are as fast. Basically Viper is a $100k car and Corvette is a $50k car. And the loaded Corvettes look about the same as the striped down ones. In other words, no comparison.

    Black GTS w/Red stripes and Yellow wheels... Yes?... No?...

    I once bought a striped shirt that I thought looked good but they crucified me at the lunch table. Now, I'm getting slammed for harboring such a thought! (black,red,yellow)

    Window Regulator: Failure: Plastic Block(Shuttle) Breakes: Replacements?

    I just completed my repair using the $28 ppd shuttles for the Dodge Minivan as offered on eBay. THEY ARE IDENTICAL !!!!! Great deal. (Also turned out my JB weld repair of my shuttle did not fail either (!), instead, it broke off one of the arms that hold it on the track.

    Shipping set of tires/wheels: Fedex or FreightQuote?

    I just ran some numbers from NV 89701 to PA 15644. A rear is 60# so I did 65 and Fedex was just over $70 with no account. So figure $1 per pound. Maybe 0.8 if you have an account. Freight Quote was over $350 which was surprising. Need to check Greyhound as you suggest. Actually I did good...

    Take my viper off my hands for $35,000

    Oh Man, this is the WORST TIME OF THE YEAR TO SELL ANY CAR! The used car market dies right after the 4th of July and gets even worse month by monty until you hit December. January 2nd, the market EXPLODES upward! Lots of theories why this happens but it is true. You really want to buy in...

    I wonder how they "check for cats" when the Viper has them completely enclosed in the side sils.

    Shipping set of tires/wheels: Fedex or FreightQuote?

    Much to my amazement, my rear tire/wheel weighed 60.2 pounds. So I'm guessing the complete set is almost 200 pounds. Fedex w/o discount is just over $1 per pound from NV to PA so that is over $200. I tried to get a FreightQuote cost, but they have shut me out of their site for some reason...

    Shipping a 1996 GTS Open Carrier - Do's and Don'ts?

    Cool Viper K! I'm neither buying or selling. I bot the NV Viper back in 2001 but live in PA. I have a good friend I have left the car with in NV. Unfortunately, the car needs work and it really doesn't get taken care of the best when sitting in NV. I thought about selling it in NV, but it...

    Shipping a 1996 GTS Open Carrier - Do's and Don'ts?

    I got another spec from the haulers: 48" min space between the rear tires. I have a tire off but it looks like with 335/30r18's it is about 50" I have the Hennessey front fascia which really sticks out and is fiberglass - so it will not move out of the way. The OE spec for ground clearance...

    Shipping a 1996 GTS Open Carrier - Do's and Don'ts?

    Yes, I know - Don't! But.... I'm finding some rates from NV to PA that are under $900 which is good. The main issue is that they say they need 4" of ground clearance for open carrier. I'm thinking I can simply raise the suspension to do this. Any other things I should worry about? PS. The...

    Anyone use the Car Dealer Inter-Auction Transportation System to ship a car?

    There is a transportation network that connects all the Dealer Auctions in the US. Car dealers use it and it is probably the cheapest way to ship a car. I'm trying my contacts currently, but it is taking a lot of time. So I was wondering if anyone has already done this and is the cost rock...

    Avoiding emissions testing...Leasing Company?

    From what I have read, the OE 1996 PCM is the same as the Mopar Performance PCM - or some other factory performance PCM.

    Avoiding emissions testing...Leasing Company?

    I guess the real question: Is it possible to program a readiness code? Like chancing the readiness test to the measurement of some parameter that is always above/below the pass/fail threshold.

    DRBIII PEP Scope Leads mini coaxial connector: What style is it?

    Yes, I've looked on ebay. Lots of cables but not the right ones. Mini/Micro Coax connectors have designations like: MCX, MMCX, SMP, SMPM, SMT, SSMA, SMA, SMB, SMC, .... I suppose I could find dimensioned drawings of the above and then measure the PEP ones and determine what PEP uses. I have...

    DRBIII PEP Scope Leads mini coaxial connector: What style is it?

    The cable slides over this tiny approximately 1/8" dianeter "stud" on the PEP module. It is actually a coaxial connection. The lead has this mini connector on one end and a male BNC on the other. I only have one lead and need another. QUESTION: Where to buy the DRBIII lead? I assume it...

    Avoiding emissions testing...Leasing Company?

    My mods are heads, cam, exhaust, no cats. In PA all you have to do is show Readiness Codes - no tailpipe or dyno. And, being an early OBDII, they allow at least 2 failed Readiness. Who knows maybe all I need is a cat eliminator resistor. It might be trivial but I haven't had time to look...

    Avoiding emissions testing...Leasing Company?

    That PA Collectible plate will apply to all counties. I don't like the one day a week rule. I was reading more and it seems that the engine or exhaust MUST be modified to get this designation: (I also don't like the idea that they "associate" the Collectible Vehicle with a Reconstructed one...

    Avoiding emissions testing...Leasing Company?

    I have a modded Viper in NV where there is no emission testing. I want to take it to my PA home where there is emissions testing. I'm wondering if the following would work: Create a leasing company in NV. Title the car the car to the leasing company. Insure the car in NV. Then take the car...

    Killed a 335/30ZR18 Pilot SX MXX3 - any chance to find a 50% used one???

    I guess you don't want to hear about the 24 year old NOS Yokohama A008's that I ran down to the cords w/o incident or the set of 37 year old Uniroyal G78's that are still 75% on my factory supercharged R2 Super Lark. But I do know what you mean. I think the problem is that tire manufacturers...

    Killed a 335/30ZR18 Pilot SX MXX3 - any chance to find a 50% used one???

    I hate to toss a perfectly good 50% one and would like to find a used to replace the destroyed tire. Since I have a set of 4, buying a new set of rears, they would not match the fronts and I'm not going to buy a set of 4 just because I lost one tire. If I would replace the rears, I would sell...

    This is definitely the most awesome-est regulator thread!

    Window Regulator: Failure: Plastic Block(Shuttle) Breakes: Replacements?

    Wow, those are sure close to the Viper ones. I'm betting they can be used. Since they are for "ordinary" cars, they are cheaper and appear to be everywhere: http://www.amazon.com/RegulatorFix-Chrysler-Plymouth-MINIVAN-Regulator/dp/B00BT1GY8Q Need to see if any auto parts carry it such as...
