    The Saga of the Dinged Up Dodge

    You are correct, it hasn't been done. I looked everything over and no cracks so far, and I'm debating whether or not to have it done since I don't plan on tracking the car. With so many being done wrong, I haven't taken the time to find a qualified Tech within driving distance yet.

    The Saga of the Dinged Up Dodge

    Winter is fast approaching and with my two stall shack unheated, I'm quickly running out of updates. I'm used to driving very low cars, heck for many years my '55 Plymouth had just 3/4" between the skid plate and the ground. Because of that, I'm used to watching where I drive and occasionally...

    Closing doors

    The guy I got it from slid it into a pole. Bad for him, good for me :) At the top, click "My Profile." Then, on the left you'll see a "My account" tab with a "general settings" submenu. You can choose how you want to be notified in the "Default Thread Subscription Mode" section.

    VCA back to the same old routine

    We are all waiting on hard data, and it has not been forthcoming. Allegations of financial improprieties is one of the biggest grievances many members have against the club. Showing the financials to members could have avoided much of this mess, and eliminated all speculation as to whether the...

    Performance Upgrade Estimate Needed

    I'm catless and it doesn't throw a code. If it does throw a code, the spark plug anti-fouler trick does work, though as stated, if you're going to have it tuned anyway you can just have them switched off.

    Closing doors

    The plastic cover he's referring to is the body color panel directly in front of the door. It'd held on with a few screws, and covers the hinge bolts. The cover is missing and you can see the two forward most hinge bolts(there are four) in this pic: Your door holding issue is likely a broken...

    VCA back to the same old routine

    A few quick questions from a perspective member that I haven't seen answered yet, if you don't mind. Where is the Raffle car currently, and when can the winner legally take possession? Can the new board shed some light on the legality of the raffle?

    Old Men Seem to Own Vipers, Why???

    They were $70K-$100K new. Older guys tend to have more disposable income than guys in their 20's-30's. The price of Gen Is and IIs has fallen into "average" guy range, but the III's and newer are still out of reach for a lot of younger people.

    Upgraded Lifters gave me a 3.87s 0-60!

    Do you mean HS rockers, or lifters? Just looking for some clarification.

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

    No offense to the McViper crowd, but I don't think I've seen yellow wheels on anything that looked good. If you want to try it, give the Plasti-dip a shot. It works great, and if you don't like it, it's easy to peel back off.

    Shipping set of tires/wheels: Fedex or FreightQuote?

    Check with Greyhound. Basically, you put them on the bus, the new owner picks them up at their local terminal. They're generally cheaper than anyone else, and just as reliable.

    The Saga of the Dinged Up Dodge

    I did some routine maintenance this weekend. The Viper's idle quality had been becoming increasingly erratic over the past few months. The problem is that the IAC gets carboned up and sticky. It wasn't enough to really trouble me, so I let it slide for awhile. Lately though, it'd gotten bad...

    Followed tonight

    Yikes! I've had people pull a u-turn and follow for a few blocks, but never to that extent. If I do ever feel like someone is actually following me home, I drive past and take some random turns instead of pulling in. The roads to my house are reasonably well traveled, so it's happened by...

    Webber carb conversion

    With a stack carb setup, you may gain some top end WOT performance over the stock GTS system simply because a short individual runner intake is designed for more top end, but performance for all other types of driving will not equal the stock EFI. You will lose power down low, and you will lose...

    Wow can't believe this

    Will a standard drill bit get the job done, or are the crank and dampener heat treated?

    Webber carb conversion

    What you want is a GTS-R intake, with it's 10 individual throttle bodies. With a set of well tuned Webers, you won't get more power, but can probably match stock performance, but you'll likely lose some gas mileage in the process. Switching to carburetors isn't practical though because you'll...

    The Saga of the Dinged Up Dodge

    Thanks guys. I'm not real happy with the fit and finish of the pipes, but the sound is a huge improvement over stock and for what it cost, I can live with it. Everything I've done so far is pretty basic stuff. Hopefully, it'll help save some wrecked cars, and help guys with older cars keep...

    Furious!

    Since you asked, or implied a question anyway, I'm a blue collar guy, and by forum standards, I'm poor(lower middle class anyway). I skimp and save to have what it takes to be able to buy and maintain my cars. I save money where ever I can purposely to feed my automotive habits. For example...

    The Saga of the Dinged Up Dodge

    I finally got my axle back exhaust done. I'm used to welding aluminum, and these are some of the sloppiest tig welds I've done in a long time. Honestly, I'm not real happy with it. It will work, but I know I could have done better. I used Scotch-Brite to give the pipes a nice finish. All...

    Furious!

    In fact, I do, and in the time I've owned it, I've probably spent far more quality time with it than most "all I do is wash it" owners ever will. http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/667516-The-Saga-of-the-Dinged-Up-Dodge Next time, take 10 seconds to back out and park straight, and you'll...

    Furious!

    If someone scratched or nicked my car on accident, I'd probably let it slide, accidents happen. If it was on purpose, of course I'd be pretty upset and do something about it. But that's not what happened here. There was ZERO damage to this jerk's car, just a napkin stuck under a wiper. Oh...

    Furious!

    When I see a car parked in the middle of the lot all by it's self, I'm the dick that will go park right next to you. I mean, your car looks so lonely out there all by it's self... :D You say you didn't purposely take up two spots. Ok, I'll buy that, and we've all parked slightly over the line...

    Anyone Use Their Viper Daily?

    I commute 40 miles a day in my '97 GTS, gas comes to around $9/day(less than a lot of people spend on lunch). I also calculated how much more it costs to drive, it only uses about 9/week more gas than any of my other cars. I drive it daily except on rainy days, and that's only because it's a...
