    Help! Front pads R&R

    Update. Just got my new rotors and pads on. Wierd that the rotors come from Dodge dipped in grey paint so not to develop surface rust. The change WAS easy, after you have done it once. Most of my time was spent cleaning up the inner rims. If anyone is interested I can post exactly what I...

    Mixing Pilot SX and Sports

    I think you are going to get a lot of o.k's and noway's here. This subject has been brought up before a lot and it looks like there is really no right or wrong answer, just opinions thus far. Do a search and if possible, if you need to, research it and share the wealth......

    Backlash

    Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I've never had play in the drivetrain. No NGR, no clunks, nothing.... o.k. I have to go find some wood now......

    Help! Front pads R&R

    Turns out the rotors are the exact same thickness as my Qtr. mile times 1.20 and out of spec. New ones should be on my doorstep Wednesday morning. Called EBC and there's no need to "scuff" the rotors.....

    Help! Front pads R&R

    So the 1/2" little springs that EBC gave me are garbage..... Off to the shop to get the rotors cut.... Thanks for the help.... I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Help! Front pads R&R

    Two rear bolts and the bolt to hold the fluid line and the rotor is OFF! Now, about this "little spring" where is it? I think it came with my EBC pads but I did not see it when i took out the 2 large 3" pins and the flexplate that sits in-between them.......

    Help! Front pads R&R

    O.k. I got the old pads out. I think I should get the rotors cut because there's a little lip on the top of the rotor that interfers with the size of the new pad. How do I get the rotor off? Do I take off the 2 large bolts?

    Help! Front pads R&R

    Need a "how to" list on how to remove and replace the front pads on my snake. I've done brakes before, just not on the Viper. Your help would be great. I've got the pins out, what's next?

    Your feelings on the Hennessey wing

    Had to reply to this one. Look for a used one first. I got one for $1000. $300 later, it was painted and on my car (with the help of a friend). Good thing was, a renter who loved the wing as much as I did chipped in $300 for it too so it costed me a cool grand. I really like the wing and so...

    A "HOW TO" Question

    Re: A \"HOW TO\" Question Anyone else out there have a list on how to take off the front calipers, etc. I've done other cars, just not my viper. I have her up in the air right now waiting. The rotors are glass, no gouges at all. I'm thinking I'll take corse sandpaper to "deglase" them.

    Wanna-Be Viper designers needed

    O.k. I'll bite. If I HAVE to pick a "modified" version instead of a bone stock one, why not include the "best" offerings from each year, including aftermarket parts. Kind of like, "Here's a representation of the GTS from each year put into one vehicle" I'm NOT a expert on the viper to say the...

    Who says $100 membership fee is out of line...

    I would have to say that it fits VERY snug, almost like you are in a racing seat but more comfortable than the current seats. It is a big improvement. The texture of the seat makes the seat more "grabbing" to your body also. My 96 GTS is very "slippery" if I had to compare the two. Once you...

    Who says $100 membership fee is out of line...

    Just got back from our "Detroit Dream weekend" with about 35 of our fellow VCA members.... What a blast. First stop was the ASC plant to watch viper panels being painted. Got to talk to the line workers and watch them from start to finish. An interesting fact is that there are more women than...

    AC not working now.

    Check your site glass. It's easyier to see with leak-ink in it. You can also inspect the front clutch area. My last compressor gave way there and spilt out a considerable about of burnt rubber around the engine compartment. If that fails, go to your local auto store and pick up the necessary...

    gts project

    For yourself or re-sale? I'd buy Cupp's old 95' Black RT-10 with a rod knocking for mid 20's and drop a new motor in it, done.

    Rear bumper coverplate???

    I think it is part of a HMS set-up. I think it's on all of the Venom pkg's. Pretty neat.

    automatic

    Trick is to find one that would take that amount of torque. I know that some of the Viper tuners do it but I've never have seen a completed one. If you are serious about it, talk to them and get at least a 12 month warranty on it.
