    Way to test TPMS sensor?

    One way to test is to simply shake them, and see if the receiver picks them up. I have no experience with the system used on the SRT's, but I have SmarTire systems in my Gen II and my Durango, and they also have a rattling sound, which I hear is indeed part of the switch that turns the unit on...

    Instrument Panel Removal??

    When you remove the knee panels and the trim around the stereo & A/C, all of the screws are exposed. Note that the top edge is snapped in, so you have to carefully un-snap it (a wood or plastic screwdriver-shaped instrument is helpful, but still be careful). It is extremely straight-forward...

    FORUM OUTAGE 4-07-07

    I note that a user's information is visible to everyone, now - even if you aren't logged in. And, it seems that a user's login name is replaced by the screenname? (My login name used to be a different name - i.e. not "Randy", and that login no longer works - I had to request a new password to...

    Driving Lights Shattered

    Or, you could put in some *useful* lights. I removed the fogs on my '95 and mounted some appropriate-size true "driving" lights in their place, for less than $50. Brief lighting term primer: "Fog" lights, regardless of color (usually white or orange/amber) are characterized by a wide flat beam...

    Multi cylinder bikes and cars

    Been riding a 1990 ZX-11 for 17 years (1st year of the ZX-11, probably first week's production; serial number #00072), in addition to a couple of Vipers. The bike is only four cylinders, but faster than the (stock) 6-cylinder bikes :cool: . Had a buddy with a CBX for few years with the dual 3...

    GTS Hard Top vs Vert Vipers?

    "Somewhat proven", as "in your dreams". :cool: It most certainly is not proven.

    Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

    Ah, cool, OK, no problem - thats useful. From the size of the valve stem modules, I'm guessing (hoping) that they mount inside the wheel, and thus the tire has to be unmounted to install the Hella system, also, correct?

    GTS Hard Top vs Vert Vipers?

    The RT is the only one to have; in my personal opinion. In 10 years of having an RT, the only possible advantages I've seen that the GTS has over the RT is cargo space, and even that is not by much. Everything the GTS can do, so can the RT, including the track. I've always preferred the look...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

    The Hella system looks nice, although I don't see anything it offers that SmarTire doesn't, other than perhaps the "change in color", where the SmarTire has the "big red light". :cool: Were you thinking of something in particular that the Hella system offered that SmarTire did not?

    2000 Steel Grey Rt-10

    Cool that you got the condensation pic of Sneaky Pete - I keep meaning to do so, but its usually dark when I come out from work, etc, etc,...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

    Yah, I was asking Luke what extra information that the system they were considering was going to give. (I was not meaning to imply nor say that TireRack carried SmarTire, although TireRack *used* to carry SmarTire a few years ago). I've got the SmarTire full function display built into the...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

    The SmartTire system give pressure and temperature for each wheel, and attempts to map the pressure/temperature curve to give appropriate alerts, so I'm intrigued, what "more informative" additional data are you looking at?

    New local VCA logo - what do you think?

    Nice idea and design. I'm thinking a different font might make it even better...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? Ah, OK - the way you wrote it would seem to imply that I said this, which I did not. :cool:

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? Then you evidently need to re-read past your own misconceptions. I see others in this thread without a 2000 and yet with clearly more experience around Vipers than you, who have contradicted you. I'm sure that if you put your intellect in gear that you can...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? Uh, Jon, your reading ability seems to be about on par with the other Jon's counting ability. I never once said this which you attribute to me concerning horsepower and torque. I've double-checked what I've written, and at the most, I've suggested (not...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? The problem is that it is not a *fact*, which is a "fact" you can't seem to comprehend. Now, if you were to qualify it with the phrase, "if you want to supercharge or add NOS" to the car, you might have a viewpoint that has some basis in fact. Without that...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? :cool: Just catching up - I've not been the focus of so many postings since the old Usenet days 15 to 20 years ago. I do find it interesting that the name-calling and questionable logic seems to stay the same after so many years, though.

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? I doubt it. Well, perhaps you would have thought so, but I've yet to see any valid evidence for you, Rogue, or Jeff to label any Viper year as you have. But, you are, of course, free to feel as if you have. Despite evidence to the contrary, of course. I...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? Yes, indeed, you were clear; as I thought I was also. You're wrong. :cool: Which is exactly my point - if you don't want to mod - then the 2000 and later cars are actually better than their predecessors. And my real world experiences - 10 years and 100k...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? Many of us have been to a number of Dyno days and seen the opposite. I always attributed it to more miles on the older cars, hence the lesser HP of the '96-'97 cars. For that matter, its often harder to find a bone stock early Gen II car to compare to -...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? Thanks for setting the record straight, Bill!! Definitely agree.
