    The one thing I absolutely love about my Viper...

    I love seeing kids drop what they are doing and point at the car while screaming look a Viper when you drive by. Because I used to be that kid :)

    Viper Purchasing ?'s

    My rear shock leaked. I posted a picture if you search my old threads. I guess you could try to shine a light in there but the brakes are pretty big and from underneath from the back its hard to get a clear view of it while the car is on the ground.

    Wavetracs Differential, maybe not different from others at all.

    I wonder if he can drain the fluid then get in there with a video inspection camera scope?

    My gen 3 coilover install

    I have seen the same thing on other coilovers. They ride softer with stiffer dampening.

    My gen 3 coilover install

    Paul. I didnt find a good thread on setting the coikovers up after typing aldan in the search string And as far as the ride goes.... I had blown shocks before but with the new setup I have only driven about 20 miles with it. I will say thr car is a lot more predictable. I feel safe with it...

    My gen 3 coilover install

    Hm. I never even thought about ditching the visors. I rarely use them and it seems to get in the way of closing the vert top from time to time when someone rides with and bends them up.

    My gen 3 coilover install

    This is the only picture I took. Car is very dirty and needs a good bath.

    My gen 3 coilover install

    Moparmap. I finished the install today. Ride is much better than my blown shock setup. May need to play with dampening but I really enjoy driving more already. Before it felt like it wanted to wash out every bump in the road. Now it feels planted. Paul. Thanks on the tip. I will search to...

    My gen 3 coilover install

    Allan. I have checked and rechecked the suspension for anything loose multiple timed but never really thought that shocks could be bad on a low mileage vehicle. After talking to a local viper tech he said hes seen some go bad so I looked there. Round 2 of finishing up the install is today

    My second round of mods-Car is going to RSI

    I hope it all works out for you. Sounds like a sucky situation to be in.

    My gen 3 coilover install

    Well, I hit a couple snags installing the suspension but this is my thoughts about the suspension on the gen 3 viper so far (haven't touched suspension on any other vipers yet) 1) front lower shock bolt. If they put it in from the back forward from the factory, you won't have to pull the...

    Vipers Prices Gen 3

    I agree. I like the looks of the coupe, but I love convertibles. It's just a different feeling to drop the top and go cruise. It's not for everyone, but to me it adds to the driving experience that the viper offers. Top down, loud exhaust, plenty of power.

    Help needed with suspension ASAP

    Cool Steve. I didn't have time to install them today. They should go in the car Tuesday and I'll play with it some. Interesting on the shock oil. I wonder if any coilover/shock company has used FINA shock oil. I remember a couple years back it was a very good shock oil to use. I'll try...

    Mine showed up today. I guess they are still the aldan/eagle shocks.... :(

    Running straight pipes on my Gen 4

    Pretty positive the mopar 3" race exhaust gets rid of the 2 cats on each side. I have the same system on my car and it does not have cats. That v-band on the 90 degree tube pretty much bolts to the exhaust manifold. Trust me, its sounds really good.

    Running straight pipes on my Gen 4

    I don't know how much $ You'd spend to have someone do the exhaust but it's a little time consuming to take the side panels on/off to make sure the pipe lines up right. I honestly would try to buy the mopar 3" race exhaust kit...

    Vipers Prices Gen 3

    Show me a clean gen 3 with low miles (20k or so) with no problems/issues/salvage for 30k and I'll have 2 vipers in the garage. That's just crazy talk. Some of the comments on this website humor me. As far as mileage. I picked mine up with 22,500. It's only been 3 months and the odometer...

    08 Coupe for sale in the classifieds

    I passed it along to my buddies who want my viper but I don't think they want a coupe. Still, the more that knows, the better. :)

    Wish it were a vert actually. I got some friends itching to buy my 03 Paxton vert and I keep eyeballing the gen 4s.

    3.55 gears in a gen 3

    345sb spinning has some spreadsheets that he made up in the performance section. I didn't really look into it but I think if I remember right, factory 5th will do about 200 and 6th is like 258 or something crazy.... That's with the 3.07s I have a Paxton car but went with a much taller...

    3.55 gears in a gen 3

    I saw a DIY thread for gears and it looked pretty time consuming. Also seemed like whomever it was (sorry, didn't remember the screen name) made some special holders to hold the unit in a vise. Case spreader and other misc stuff. I felt 300 was a fair price.

    3.55 gears in a gen 3

    I called a local ring and pinion specialist and was quoted 300 labor if I supplied parts if I brought the diff in. Didn't seem TOO bad
