    Help! I can't remove my oil filter, Part II - Outcome...

    Re: Help! I can\'t remove my oil filter, Part II - Outcome... I wouldn't even give the body shop the keys to the car, some numb nuts is gonna start it and end up blowing the motor. Bummer about the dent, this is gonna be one expensive oil change :) Good luck, and sweet looking car. lowered...

    If you remove your fuel injectors, you MUST replace the o-rings

    WTF are you using any type of non-petroleum based lube on them when installing the injectors? I have done many many intake manifold swaps on various vehicles and have never had to replace all the O-rings. On occasion one will be torn and have to be replaced but it's not a common occurance.

    Re: Help! I can\'t remove my oil filter.. What type of oil filter wrench are you using? Was the wrench slipping or were you just not strong enough to turn it?

    Supercharged Comp Coupe at the dragstrip in Cali???

    Yeah time to bust out the B/S 15# sledge. There are lots of funky cars running around socal so a red autoform GTS isn't out of the question at all.

    What do Viper owners think of these cars?

    No kidding, you would think with the type of people who buy vipers an 87' Iroc just wouldn't fit in. Next they are gonna break out sleveless denim jackets, some purple oakley M frames and put something up on cinder blocks in the front yard.

    Supercharged Comp Coupe at the dragstrip in Cali???

    Ahhhh yep Cali speedway. That sure doesn't look like a CC to me. Whats up with the Gen II seats, and stock fuel door setup. From what I can tell it's a GTS that has been hacked up. And doesn't look that good either, should have left it alone.

    Is there a difference in a Viper racing block vs. Stock Viper block?

    I believe the R block also has 6 bolt cross bolted main caps and as stated is setup for a dry sump oiling system.

    Best polish to buy

    Having used all the normal stuff, zaino, and now pinnacle I can say with 100% certantly that Pinnacle is light years ahead of all the others. But you pay a nice premium for it. www.pinnaclewax.com Oh and I hand apply all of it. Don't trust myself with a high powered right angle polisher...

    Front oxygen sensor problem ?

    Sounds like your sensors are on the way out. Easy test is to move the right sensor to the left and vise versa. If the funky readings follow the sensors then you just nailed the problem. If you find after changing the sensor sides that the right and left bank are still reading excessively...

    Front Rotor 13 1/2'' or 14'' for street/track

    Re: Front Rotor 13 1/2\'\' or 14\'\' for street/track Bingo, pad size can have a very small effect on overall power as it changes the total area where the cliper pressure is being dispersed but it's a very very small change.

    Front Rotor 13 1/2'' or 14'' for street/track

    Re: Front Rotor 13 1/2\'\' or 14\'\' for street/track The 14" rotors should have the same vertical pad contact distance as the 13.5s Pads are made to fit the caliper NOT the rotor, there are plenty of guys using viper brakes on 11.5" rotors (older mopars, cudas etc) with the stock size pads...

    leaded fuel...

    Your O2 sensors will not be happy about the leaded fuel at all. Hard to say how long they will last cause your not running it straight. I can say personally after running 50 or so gallons of C16 through mine they gave me fits. It took me a good 6 months to run that much fuel through it but...

    I CRASHED MY 04 VIPER

    I would take the time to talk with L&G Enterprise in San Dimas (where 10/210 fwy meet) They do phenominal body/paint work and do quite a few custom trucks for SEMA etc. One of the few shops I would trust with any of my vehicles.

    Front Rotor 13 1/2'' or 14'' for street/track

    Re: Front Rotor 13 1/2\'\' or 14\'\' for street/track Not wheel spacers, the baer calipers are radial moun and a .250" spacer under the caliper will let it sit on top of the mount and fit a 14" rotor just peechy. With just a .250" spacer I wouldn't worry about it. Run the 14's

    Viper Funeral

    If he was just getting on the fwy, then sure why not. Rather than spin/flip the car at least try to make the car drive through it. Rolling wheels are controllable, locked up wheels are about as useful as driving w/o tires.

    Viper Funeral

    I'm kinda curious here. You went from 3-2 at 69mph on accident. Why didn't you just put your foot to the floor and drive out of it. The car will easily break 70 in 2nd and its much easier to drive through rear wheel spin than lockup. Ya know what they say about hindsight.

    Drive an SRT with Traction Control today

    So if I understand this correctly it reduces power but cutting the fuel to cylinders. Not partially but completely killing the injector firing? Does it do this one at a time or in pairs? On the viper it has sequentially firing cylinder so does it cut the two that were firing at the same...

    Finally finished Traction Control

    Yeah what he said. Is it 6spd only? Does it function around a complete standalone EFI system or is it a separate unit?

    Help - Startech Brakes - 405mm/16''

    Re: Help - Startech Brakes - 405mm/16\'\' How many race teams have you seen running rotors that large? Size helps modulation and it disipates heat better but at the expense of increased unsprung weight. The majority of the power increase is from the caliper/pad selection. Look at the stock...
