Global warming = drive all year. Here in the NYC metro area, we get about 3 storms and a few days later, it's back to cold and sunny and the roads are clear. So I don't winterize any more. I drive it all year round.
That's so sad! I feel your loss. :lmao:
But on the positive side, you could buy the '08 coupe AND convertible in EVERY color and still have a few hundred K's left over. :2tu:
I doubt somebody did that deliberately. It would be VERY HARD to do that manually. Maybe stood it up behind the car.
BTW, it your tires have usable tread, that should plug up really well. There's no need to go buy replacement tires. I've had a plugged tire for many thousand miles now.
I think winterizing is overrated. While we feel pressured to do it, modern cars don't need it anymore. I wouldn't bother beyond filling the fuel tank (to prevent condensation) and adding Stabil (to keep the fuel good). Also, I used to move the car 6 inches forward/backward every 15 days or so to...
I forgot to add that those 2 pins in front of the headlight can be accessed from the fog light access hole in the front fender well. Good luck!
Here's an internet link I came across. http://www.wclco.com/pdf/plastics/010.pdf
Do not reuse the plastic push pins/trees/whatever? Take a pair of used ones to your local body shop supplier (look in the yellow pages) and get a box of 10/20/50. It works out cheaper in the long run.
The 2 pins near the headlight can be pushed in just fine. They don't require headlight removal.
First get a functional key fob. Without it, opening any lock (driver, passenger, hood, hatch) will activate the alarm. To the best of my knowledge, the alarm on the 1997 GTS cannot be reset without a key fob.
What's the big secret? The technique was first published in 1997/1998 as part of a Chrysler TSB. I first published it about an year or 2 later but those archives are since history. If I recall correctly, it was specific to the 1997 GTS. It was mailed by the New England VCA to all it's members at...
A lot of drivers buy the car, new or used, then lose control and blame the "unrefined" power delivery of the Viper for it. :lmao: It scares the heck out of them and they put it back on the market. :dunno: I don't blame them since in the GTS it makes over 350 ft-lbs of torque at around 1500 rpm.
I don't mean to sound negative but in the past, the Viper hood has been a source of grief to many owners. Usually that's been with the Gen I/II crowd.
But has this hood been test fitted and checked for fit and gaps in comparison with the OEM hood.
BTW, great work. And a reasonable list...
Ka-ching! You just hit the jackpot.
I think it's a fantastic idea. The Gen I hood is a little bland when compared to the Gen II/III/IV. Just the fact that those annoying hood speakers have been deleted is a winner.
And not to mention blowing the engine. I've almost never had an incorrect shift but that could be due to my lame driving pace. The few times when I feel I've shifted incorrectly, usually in winter while the tranny is still cold, I just don't release the clutch and do a second verification...
