    Speedo strangeness....

    I have been seeing some strangeness from my speedo lately - at freeway speeds, the speedo is jumping up and down 10-15MPH, with no change in pedal modulation (or tach). Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks,

    who's the best Viper dealer in SF Bay?

    Re: who\'s the best Viper dealer in SF Bay? Dave Winningham(sp?) Service Advisor at Stevens Creek has been very responsive - returns calls quickly, calls when there is a delay, calls when the car is ready, has paperwork ready. Better service than I ever got at Regal or Capitol. I have not had...

    Ultra Low Clearance Floor Jack - Oh Baby!

    I saw the "boys from AZ" at Viperdays (Thunderhill) using the DK13HLQ on a lowered (full race) GTS w/ sidepipes and splitters. It went under the car w/ a *little* room to spare. I bought one of the low profile jacks from Harbor Freight (I think) - it's the one that weighs 100lbs, and is supposed...

    who's the best Viper dealer in SF Bay?

    Re: who\'s the best Viper dealer in SF Bay? Valaya Racing is great, no doubt. All good guys, and very good with maintanence as well as modifications. If you need warranty work done, give Stevens Creek Dodge a shot. Ben is a good Viper tech, and make sure you use Dave as Service Advisor.

    Problem arranging courtesy drop of new Viper

    On the dealer prep - I would suggest (and I'm sure many will agree) that you should NOT allow them to wash/detail the car. 99% of the time, you will have a ton of fine scratches/swirl marks that you will work endless hours removing. Pay the fee for the drop-ship, and clean the car yourself. My $.02

    1 step closer to owning!! WOOHOO! Next week!

    Stock tires (Michelin XGTZ's) were bad at "following ruts" (actually good at it - too good!) They are also poor performers in the rain. They are very sticky on dry roads, and great for dry track racing. If the car has GTS wheels, it probably doesn't have XGTZ's. Sounds like a great car at a...

    RT/10 Trunk Lid Gas Shock - Viperware

    I have always been totally happy w/ the strut. The trunk needs to be up 100% for it to hold (at least mine does). Things did change *somewhat* recently when I added a Mopar spoiler. I probably need to change the mount point a little bit, as the strut barely holds the decklid up now. The spoiler...

    Short shifter..which one?

    Had the B&M and recently broke it. It's being replaced under warranty by Summit Racing - I bought it from them about 3 years ago. From what I hear, the older ones were more prone to breaking. Hopefully this is not true of the newer ones. I always liked the B&M Ripper (w/ MGW knob), and it seems...

    RT/10 Trunk Lid Gas Shock - Viperware

    I put one on mine about 4 years ago. Drilling the 1st hole is tough (mentally). No big deal to install - comes complete w/ templates. Definitely worth having. I doubt that it's much heavier than the rod and mounting hardware that comes in the car, and think it should be "standard" in the car. I...

    Furious......... Curb Rash!!!

    Bigs, I did the "sandpaper" trick on mine after hearing about a number of people that tried getting their wheels refinished, and most not being happy. The clear on the wheels is powdercoat, and none of the wheel places I talked to would do that for a "reasonable" cost. Anyway, I am very pleased...

    Broke my B&M shifter - need info

    All, That was my first shifter break, and it took me 4 years - Definitely not the gorilla that Mike Brunton is I called Summit last night, and they said send it back, and if there are no signs of abuse, they'll replace it. Unsure of how they determine "shifter abuse".... Anyway, thanks to all...

    Broke my B&M shifter - need info

    I looked on the web, and called the 800 directory w/ no luck. Any info would be appreciated. Would they be listed under B&M? Are they owned by someone else? Thanks! Mark

    Broke my B&M shifter - need info

    Anyone else who has broken a B&M shifter - who did you call about getting it replaced? Phone numbers would be helpful also. I bought it from Summit Racing, but didn't want to call them until I found out what others had done. Granny shifting 1-2 on the way back from the gym at lunch, and it came...

    Professional Detailer Needed

    Dennis, I have had excellent luck w/ Stevens Creek Dodge w/ my black 94. They have always done what it takes to make sure I'm happy when the car is complete. If you had the issue w/ them, take it back to them and let them know what's up. They did a "complete detail" last time my car was in, and...

    Stop scratch front spoiler.

    If I came off a curb perpendicular, I would get high centered. Angles don't do it for a lowered car, and some curbs/driveways won't allow any Viper to keep the facia off the pavement.

    Stop scratch front spoiler.

    Like SoCal, I have given up on keeping scratches off the fascia of my car - especially since mine is lowered an inch. Occasionally, I will put black wax under the fascia (Color Back from Turtle Wax, I believe -- another JonB suggestion). Covers nicely, and looks good. I quit stressing on that...

    My RT/10 is finally home!

    Making it sound (and breathe) better on a budget is easy - get K&N filters and smooth tubes, and replace the mufflers. I used glass packs about 5 years and 25k miles ago (at JonB's suggestion) and they still sound great. I will upgrade to a full headers/exhaust sometime in the near future, but I...

    ZAINO QUESTON

    ZFX is a liquid that comes in a small "eye dropper" type container. You add a few drops (3 or 4 drops per oz of polish) into a seperate container (small shampoo style bottles is what I use). You shake it up and you have about 12 hours to use it.

    ZAINO QUESTON

    Personal opinion... Buy Z2, Z5, Z6, and ZFX (hardener/accellerator). No need for Z1 anymore, assuming you use the ZFX. You will save yourself a TON of time. Like 10's of hours. With the "old" method, you had to wait until an aplication of polish (Z2 or Z5) was dry prior to taking it off. This...

    test result - new product from Zaino

    Don, "Free" is relative - keeping me in food and cocktails is probably more expensive than hiring a pro to do the work for you! My friends all know that I will polish any clean car for free. It's a lot harder to get the car *really* clean than it is to Zaino it!

    test result - new product from Zaino

    Weather you are a Zaino user or not, this is something you should check out. Let me start by saying I do not work for Zaino Bros', and I am not associated with them in any way (except for the fact that I am an extremely pleased customer) Zaino Bros' has come out with a new product that I think...
