    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a buyer do black stripes and coat the six-spoke wheels black. That would be sweet.

    My Solid Silver 98 GTS is now in the classifieds.

    No boost but tasty modifications well done. Here is a link to the ad: Solid Silver 98 GTS - ViperClub Classifieds Had the car for six years and gotten it to a great place. Now I am trying to adjust my career and having additional $$$ in the bank is very comforting.

    selling my '99 gts for $29k

    I think solid black with cognac on a 1999 GTS is about as desirable as a Viper gets (I am no B/W fan), but brownish interiors don't work for me on silver cars which means the stripes goof the interior. BUT I say buy the car, then put flat black vinyl stripes over the stock silver stripes and...

    Gen II rims for sale

    Tires mounted on the rim with cardboard discs covering the wheels (usualy held on my nylon bands secured with a little tape). That is how the wheel sellers do it.

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    It is possible, but I really think I had a misperception that they old wheels and tires had the vibration also. I never put the old set back on because I am trying to sell them and I wanted to be able to say they had "never been on a car" since getting the wheels powdercoated. Too many factors...

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    Found it. Fixed it. DONE! FOUND IT! FIXED IT! DONE! :2tu: Finally nailed it this morning. First thing I want to apologize and/or give props to Jon B, Fast Viper Dan, White Out, Jack B, BW96Snake, and especially to Bruce who got the closest to the solution and Next Phase who I am guessing has...

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    The good news is I jacked up each corner of the car and "shook the wheels the best I could. Found no blatent issues. No huge play in a wheel bearing. Tie rod ends appear sturdy. Nothing odd looking about the steering rack. I also inspected the balancer on the front end of the crank and it does...

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    I have the balanced shafts and rebuilt rear shocks back in but I am struggling with testing due to difficulty finding place to go fast enough and inconsistency. But here is the really odd deal: this appears to be related to temperature. Crazy I know. Drove to work on Wednesday and on the way...

    Clear fog light lenses

    The foam is effectively built into the lenses. As a matter of fact it is a pain to remove it is glued on so well. In terms of being careful with the tabs, IIRC putting the two lower tabs in place first then popping in the upper tab is the safest way to install.

    Looking for a 8" sub enclosure

    I want to do one on the passenger footwell in which case you could have mine, but I might try and sell my car so not sure what I am going to do. I'll pm you.

    Another 6-spoke on a GTS thread (w/pics)

    Since other six-spoke GTS guys are heisting your thread, here's mine:

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    Catch is that when you push in the clutch and coast at 80 mph the car is smooth as glass. That eliminated the wheels and tires right there as far as I am concerned. I should have it back together on Memorail Day so we will see if the driveshaft balance did anything. I am going to do better...

    3" vs 2.5" header & exhaust

    Had a conversation with Lou Belanger yesterday (If you have not experienced this it is something you should do at least once before you die) and he swears up and down - and has for years - that Vipers are faster with a 2.5" exhaust after his headers rather than a 3". He also admits that the 2.5"...

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    It is not the wheels. I have two sets and the issue is exactly the same with each set. Here is where I get my wheels balanced: Services | Wheel Specialists, Inc.

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    Latest update is I took all three shafts to a local shop. Just picked them up and they did not replace any u-joints as they said all six are fine with zero play. They did however add a small weight to the main drive-shaft and one half-shaft ($190 for all three shafts BTW and they do not weld the...

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    I got a quote of $152 to rebuild/balance my driveshaft at a local place so I think I will do that. Now I'm wondering if I should have them to the half-shafts while I'm at it. A little bit harder to remove, but I've done it before so I know I can do it.

    Cruising speed small vibration that is not tires: drive-shaft?

    I did not go out and specifically do "same RPM-different speed" tests as suggested by Trust, but after he mentioned it I though about it, and realize that I often pass through that same rpm zone in other gears and notice nothing. I put the car up on jack stands and spent some time underneath on...

    Any land mines removing the driveshaft in Gen II?

    Oh cool. So if the rear is a bit higher than the front I don't have to change the tranny fluid (mine is fairly fresh)?

    Any land mines removing the driveshaft in Gen II?

    I have a service manual but haven't checked it out regarding driveshaft removal yet. I'm thinking once the plate is off it should be straightforward. Are there any obstructions I am not remembering? Belanger exhaust rear half maybe?

    Reminded of an guly GenIII Viper crash. Can't believe its been 2 years.

    I am a lawyer and I was getting ready to sue a company who statutory agent (the person upon who you serve a lawsuit against the corporation) was someone named Anhtony Burghi. I thought that name sounded familiar and said to my paralegal "taht guy is an attorney." Hit google and was reminded of...
