    key and paint problem, advice?

    Go quickly to a paint shop you trust and pay to have them fix it. The sooner you have it fixed, the less pain you will have -- because then it just a money issue. Right now by having the scratch to look at, it's a very memorable, personal attack. I would try not get insurance involved...

    The Vomit Viper Is Back On Ebay

    Since we are pretty sure no one is going to big $180K, he should have some balls and start a new auction with an opening bid of $1 and no reserve...Some how I think that will prove my formula above...

    The Vomit Viper Is Back On Ebay

    Here's a better formula that he can use to calculate the true market price of his car: true market price = [price of used 1999 RT/10 with 5400 miles] - [price of new red paint job] - [depreciation of a Viper that's been repainted]

    My homemade ramps works best (pictures)

    I still think my idea of jacking the rear slightly to get the jack under the front is the easiest of all. And you don't have to signup for the paper...No positioning ramps/papers and driving...Just jack and go...

    2001-2002 Owners Note: The End Is Nigh !!!

    I've got a problem that I have taken someone's advice for and I am sure to congratulate myself when JonB finally sends me the set of rears and the brake tool that I requested by e-mail with credit card on July 27, 2001 at 3:36 cst...

    Gappy Hood-96 RT/10

    In these cases, I think you should focus more on adjusting the front facia, instead of the hood. I say "I think" because I have never done it before nor do I know how you would adjust the front facia.

    Curb scratch/dent on rim, what to do?

    Lots of places that repair rims like Wheels America (http://www.bentrim.com/). It will look like new when done. You should be able to find a shop locally by asking around.

    Thanks for the flags, Chris! (pics inside)

    Chris, Thanks for the flags! Now I feel even more like an astronaut when I climb inside the Viper capsule!

    Brake squeal

    If you have a 2001 Viper, don't hold your breathe on having the EBC Green pads for the rear... For at least the past 6 months we have been told "any minute now" on availability... I am dying over here with these filthy, squeaking, stock rear pads!

    Brake squeal

    Scott, if you can get them, count me in. But I would be really surprised if your source has access to EBC pads that JonB and Wingkind can not get... Please confirm.

    Who knows how to read plugs???

    Thanks guys! Couple of new questions: 1) Wouldn't I see significant oil smoke out the back of the car upon decceleration of the engine if the valve stems seals are leaking oil? 2) Is my catalytic converter for the right cylinder bank toast/junked-up from spraying oil into it? Thanks!

    Hood gap adjustment help needed!!..JonB. ???

    I think we need a photo from ground level head-on to see if the front is gen 1/2. We all really need to pull together as a team to fix your problem -- as it stands, it looks like you're driving a poorly designed, low dollar Viper replica based on a Fiero chassis!

    Hood gap adjustment help needed!!..JonB. ???

    Gee, I am no doctor, but the fact that the hood fits well in the front and lines up with the door feature in the rear means something is really wrong. The gaps by the front of the wheel well and the sill are huge! I would guess that you need to rotate the front facia (and head lights) down in...

    Who knows how to read plugs???

    No, the car is bone stock except for the just added tubes and K&N's. All 9000 miles prior to pulling the plugs were done with the original filter and tubes. Thanks for all replies!

    Who knows how to read plugs???

    Thanks Rick and Tom for your replies! I will check into both possibilities and report back.

    Who knows how to read plugs???

    Many thanks for your replies! DV: Yes, everything on the right bank plugs appear to be just deposits. No signs of melting or deterioration. There's also a good amount of crusty, oily, black deposits on the base of the plugs which would support Tom's comments. Tom: I just replaced both...

    Who knows how to read plugs???

    I have a 2001 GTS with 9000 miles on it already (long story, but lots of highway miles) and I start getting a check engine light. The car seems to idle and run strong. So I buy the Autoxray scanner and it tells me I have multiple engine misfires. After a post, I take JonB's advice and order...

    Scratch remover part #/ where to buy?

    Best place to find the 3M products is at an auto paint store. Yahoo Yellow Pages will help you find one of these stores in your area.

    Viper Or Vette? I ask Your Advice.

    The chicks totally dig the Viper way more than the Vette. And that, my friend, is all that matters! (If you don't think so, you are living in denial and are probably one of those people that says "I don't put looks as a high priority when dating, blah blah blah...")

    HELP, HILLSDALE , MI STILL HOLDING DEPOSITE

    > I would but, I live about 10 states away. Tim Tim, you make a valid point. One thing that has worked for me in the past is to call the BBB in the local area (listed on the BBB website). Ask the BBB who is the dealership contact for the BBB relationship. Call that person and say that...

    FINALLY! A use for the ashtray, pics...

    I have a suggestion for another switch: a bypass for the wiper blades and washer. That way you don't accidentally turn on the wipers or washer since other cars use that same stalk for head lights.

    These cars attract more than women or looks

    Definitely get cracks repaired by a professional. The kits in the parts store don't do nearly as good a job. If a chunk is taken out of the windshield, they won't be able to fill that. But they will be able to fill the cracks and they will disappear.
