    new stereo system phase I

    I know there is a ton of science that goes into sound, and that is a black hole I try not fall into. I just go what sounds good and move on. No matter what I do, there is a big ol' corsa exhaust blasting out the sides of the car and anything helps Peter, have you messed with the vipers system...

    new stereo system phase I

    For the door speakers, I just hooked them up like the factory speakers were. So the factory tweeters are still in play. I might replace them with something down the road but I am pretty happy with the sound output. I went with coaxials because they were basically free with the stereo purchase...

    new stereo system phase I

    I have only had my 06' coupe for a couple months now, but I can't stand the lame sound system that comes on a 90K car. I had an 03 vert before this and it didn't bother me that much because the top was usually down and sound quality was shot anyways. So I figured I would start playing around...

    Cat removal help...

    The v band can be a real pain in the ass. I used a bunch of wd40 to help loosen things up and used a long flat head screwdriver to work it around the "v" until it eventually popped free of the headers and cats. Good luck.

    Average age of Viper owners?

    2nd viper at 29. I don't think the age thing really matters to most people. Used vipers are not bad considering a new 1/2 ton truck can set you back as much as a nice used viper. I just tell people that make odd comments that I spent a lot of time in the desert away from my family and they...

    strange electrical and starting issues in my 06 Viper

    Not sure about the rattling noise, but the starting issue is probably battery related. Is it the original battery? A old battery that is on its way out does some funny stuff. There are a lot of posts with electrical issues that are usually cleared up with a new battery. I would start there.

    looking to purchase my first viper, advice/tips/help appreciated!

    You will find one just fine. You are already a few steps ahead of the most people in the fact that you have done some homework for things to look for. I am on my second gen III right now and because of careful buying, I have done pretty well. Here is a couple more things that I would recommend...

    Anyone sell CF dash kit for ACR Hardcore? No radio cut out area.

    There are a few regular sets out there on ebay for pretty cheap, $109 I think. For that price, send it to a shop and get the stereo section filled and wrapped in carbon. I bet you would be it in less than half of any OEM option out there.

    OBD2 question

    I'm still working on that. I have a couple options to go with but I'm not going to worry about mounting until I get all the bugs worked out first. I'm using a 32gb Asus nexus 7.

    OBD2 question

    I did get the torque program up and running but I still need to work some stuff out. For some reason it asks me for the Bluetooth password every time I connect to the obd2 dongle. As for the program itself, its pretty cool. You can customize a lot of stuff. One thing I have noticed is it lags a...

    Need sexy garage floor to match Viper

    Not sure about contractors as I did my epoxy floor myself. But, cost for materials ran about $800 for my 24x25' two car garage. The products I used were from sherwin Williams. If you want a breakdown of what is needed, let me know. If I had to guess a price from contractors.... Around 3k. It is...

    OBD2 question

    As far as I know the engine management is whatever comes with the Paxton kit. I have a SCT tuner waiting for a tune down the road, but she runs good for the time being.

    OBD2 question

    Hi guys, I need a little insight here. I have purchased two different Bluetooth OBD2 dongles to work with a tablet for running programs like torque. The problem I am having is both dongles are not powering on. I tried both dongles in different vehicles and they work fine. Is there something...

    Chicago Half-Mile Shootout June 1-2

    There were several vipers there. I believe treesnake was the fastest viper there with a speed around 190, but he could tell you exactly what the speed was. There was also a gen III that go up to 150. That's the fastest n/a GenIII we have had at any wannagofast event. Top speed of the weekend was...

    replace stereo with tablet

    The fit part isn't an issue. Most people or shops with a little fabrication skills can trim plastic to make it fit. The hard part is incorperating it with the car to have a seamless operation. The double din units out there do this well. I wish the vipers had steering wheel controls. It would...

    replace stereo with tablet

    I have been doing a ton of research for this. There seem to be two though processes. The first is to use an aftermarket or factory stereo and connect the tablet through the headphone jack or use bluetooth. The second approach is using the tablet as a stand alone unit. Both approaches need a lot...

    convert or coupe

    I just sold my 03 last week and purchased a 06 coupe. Here are a couple thing to think about. -Its way easier to get in and out of a convert with the top down -you have to open trunk to lower/raise soft top. Sucks if you are in the south with surprise rain showers -there is some more interior...
