    Almost there!!!

    I do not believe that you can purchase a Chrysler contract for the car (I am pretty sure you had to purchase for a 94 car by end of 2002, and the car currently had to be under warranty). An aftermarket (non-Chrysler) warranty will likely give you piece of mind, but I would talk to the dealer...

    Question regarding new clutch/flywheel - break-in procedure?

    I have a new (stock) clutch/pressure plate and a Fidanza (light) flywheel. Should I follow some break in procedure for the clutch? Just got it back last Friday evening, and I have just been driving normal- with some triple digit tests (closed track) because I missed my car. Any info would be...

    Tires

    Pilot Sports are still available in stock (17") sizes. You may save money by going to 285 in the front (fits nicely on stock wheel also). The MXX3's are the ones that are no longer manufactured, and getting expensive (if you can find them). Kuhmo's are reasonably priced, and I have heard good...

    Gen I crossover coolant leak.. Warranty questions/help!

    I have had the crossover gasket replaced twice under warranty on my 94, with NO ARGUMENT either time. I don't know if I was just lucky or what? At that time, I was taking the car to Stevens Creek Dodge in San Jose (they are in the process of selling the dealership, and don't have a Viper tech...

    Installed Vmania top and windows - have a question

    On the VMania windows (old vs new) - the "new" windows are shaped a little different to fit more tightly with the Vmania top versus the Mopar hardtop. My car is at the dealership getting a leak fixed (rear main seal) under warranty. Gotta love a car bought in Nov 93 still under warranty. They...

    Installed Vmania top and windows - have a question

    MarineGuns and flossm - thanks for your replies. The bolts aren't stripped - it is the sportcap itself that is damaged. It seems that the area around where the bolts go through the sportcap are messed up. I believe that washers could help. I will give that a try. Is there anything else that...

    Installed Vmainia top and windows - question?

    I sold my Mopar top and Vmania windows and bought a Vmania top and windows from Partsrack. Biff at Vmania and Jon at Partsrack made this very easy. I installed the top and windows, and they are beautiful! I got the roof duct on mine, and I think it looks great. After installing them, I took it...

    Gen I windows

    Here is one area that I have some experience. I have had my 94 for 6-1/2 years. I bought the Mopar "sliders" (used) initially, and hated them. Them I bought "O'Brien" side windows. Better, but not good. They didn't have any rubber at the leading edge, and scratched the windshield surround. Also...

    Rim scratches

    On my car (the scratches were on the lip only) I used 120 grit sandpaper, then 240, etc - just enough to get most of the scratches out. You cannot tell which wheel it was on anymore. It would eat through the clear doing this, but I have not seen any obvious oxidation or discoloring.

    HP gain with headers???

    I believe that Bigr1's headers are the "stock" Mopar headers that came on late model Vipers. No real HP gains (maybe a couple) but they save something like 25 pounds. Probably not a great bang for the buck upgrade.

    Lowering springs 94 RT/10

    I have the Eibach lowering springs on mine with stock shocks, and I swear it dropped considerbly more than an inch. Next to mine, most RT's look like 4x4! I also have the Mopar spoiler (yes, you have to drill holes). Spoiler, Canards, and springs can be purchased from PartsRack. I bought the...

    B&M Ripper Shifter

    The only way I would buy one is brand new, unless you knew who you were getting it from, and could verify it is the "newer version". The older ones have a tendency to break. I have broken one (not because of abuse - at least I don't *think* so!). I know of at least 5-6 others that have broken...

    Who owns a Viper and is in Customer Facing Sales

    I rarely use my Viper for sales calls, etc. Some of my customers that I have long term relationships with, and I know they appreciate/understand the love of cars may know about it. I have had my new VP question my comp plan due to the fact that the President of my company (who is not a car fan...

    Zaino products...What should I get to start?

    I also understand that Dawn does NOT take off Zaino products, since they are not oil/silicon based.

    Zaino products...What should I get to start?

    My personal opinion - skip the Z1 and buy ZFX. ZFX acts as an accelerator so you don't have to wait hours (or even more than a few minutes) to take off the Z5 or Z2. No need for Z1 if you use ZFX. I also happen to be a big fan of Zaino leather cleaner and treatment, glass polish, clay bar, and...

    Is your Viper a KEEPER?

    I played wish on a Viper the first time I ever saw the concept car in '89. Being a "working stiff" I never thought I'd own one. I will have my 94 for 6 years on Aug 11, and can't imagine ever getting rid of it. I bought it used (3 months shy of 3 years old w/ 2,800 miles on it). I would love to...

    Kiss of the Valet (Damaged Wheel Lip) Any Fixes???

    A few things to consider - when Wheels America (or most anyone) refinishes the wheels they will likely look great BUT they will be sprayed w/ clearcoat, not powdercoated clear like from the factory. I had a 2" scar on my wheel from a curb, and I used sandpaper to get it out. Can't even tell. I...

    STEVENS CREEK DODGE any good ??

    If you are going to get warranty service done, I would definitely consider Stevens Creek. I have had good luck w/ them. If you are getting something done that is not warranty work (repair or upgrade) I highly recommend Ted May at Valaya Automotive (408) 448-8811.

    94 RT-10 Engine Problem (head gasket?) Question...

    I have the *exact* same symptoms (not including the "hard start"). I checked, and don't see any colant tracks on the engine. My Tech changed the plugs to check them for fouling (still misfiring on the driver side after plug change, same white clouds). Checked the oil and coolant to see if they...
