What's your Cylinder Index?
Re: What\'s your Cylinder Index? Okay, this is already getting out of control - surprise, surprise!! I think that I need to define the rules a little better. Let's try this: 1. Only cylinders that are used in internal or external combustion engines count (no air compressors). 2. Only...- Henry Cone

What's your Cylinder Index?
Re: What\'s your Cylinder Index? We've been using the household "Cylinder Index" as a measure of how much Tim the Tool Man Taylor "guyness" was around the house. And yes, our friend and new Viper owner (and new Viper Club menmber) currently has us beat. Of course, he started this and claims...- Henry Cone

War BMW!!!
I found the following in the latest issue (august 6, 2001) of Automotive News. In a short blurb on page 4 titled "define 'publicly'" was the following write up: "What you drive says a lot about you. That's the focus of a humorous video BMW's Mini team has been showing employees. Mini USA...- Henry Cone

Can't get my Optima battery to fit, HELP!!!!!!
Re: Can\'t get my Optima battery to fit, HELP!!!!!! Sean, we have done this on 3 cars now. This is the same problem that we found on all 3 - the trays seem very consistent. Its a bit difficult to describe how I have accomplished this but it requires a bit of bending of the tray. Feel free...- Henry Cone

TeamTech Harnesses
Tony, you're right about the using the anti-sub strap with a stock seat. It is too far forward to be as effective as it should be unless you use a race seat with a slot cut in the bottom for the anti-sub to come through. I highly recommend Team Tech 6 points for anyone who is serious about...- Henry Cone

Simple oil change frequency question
So with my track milage of about 4 MPG I should be good for about 800 track miles...and that's probably about when we change it... In any case Tom's information is why we use Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40 diesel synthetic in our cars. The extra detergents and dispersants in the diesel oil helps...- Henry Cone

Help with Fluids
We HIGHLY recommend the Redline power steering fluid. We changed it on our cars and on all of the Viper Days cars that we helped prep. Changing the fluid is very low cost insurance against the possibility of an underhood fire due to overheated power steering fluid. The stock cooler is not...- Henry Cone

Team Tech 6 Point Harnesses
I wanted to pass on our experience with Team Tech's 6 point harnesses. As you all may be aware we are big supporter's of Team Tech's harnesses. We have been running the 5 points for some time in both of our cars that we run in Viper Days. Since we are always looking for improvements we...- Henry Cone

Anyone Buy a DRBIII Scantool? Autotap?
Tom is a Viper Tech and a good friend to the NC Region. He bought his own DRB so that he could diagnosis cars on his own time and at events such as Viper Days. We're extremely lucky to be able to have Tom as a friend and tech....- Henry Cone

5 pt harness
Jim, we highly recommend the Teamtech harnesses. I was trying to send you a note with more details - for some reason it won't go out right now. I'll put it here instead.. I don't think that the factory ACR belts are as good as the Teamtech's. You will also have a very hard time getting them...- Henry Cone

Re: Info on Mobile1 trisyn. 0W-40 \"european car formula\"??? We use Mobil Delvac 1 synthetic in our Vipers as well as our Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel Dually. Its rated at 5W-40 so it does give wider temperature range protection. Its a little difficult to find - we get it at a Mobil...- Henry Cone

Per this week's Automotive News - Chevy expects to sell 30,000 Corvettes in 2002 with 25% of them expected to be Z06's. That's about 7,500 Z06's in 2002 alone. They're going to be common!!!- Henry Cone

forgeline wheels
I'd like to offer a different opinion on Forgelines. We run 5 spoke Forgeline's on both of our cars. Both are run in Viper Days. We have been very happy with the wheels and the support that we get from Forgeline. The open spoke design combined of the Forgeline 5 spoke helps with air flow...- Henry Cone

Mint Viper taken to the crusher
Jon, I believe that the spare is part of the crash system for the coupes as well. If you look at the rear end of the frame rails you will see a bolt that holds a metal cable to each rail end. This cable apparently starts at one frame rail, passes around the front of the spare tire well, and...- Henry Cone

Original Tires ?
lookin4asnake, the X-GTZ's that were standard equipment on '92 -'95 RT/10's have not been manufactured for a number of years. For future collectibility it MAY be worth having a set for showing. The reality is that a tire this old is probably hard and offers less than optimal traction...- Henry Cone

Help. Rear brake pad installation question!
Rendog, I find it much easier to remove the rotor - nothing really to it and it saves unbolting the caliper. My procedure is as follows: 1. Turn rotor so that a wheel stud is at the 12:00 position 2. Remove outer pad 3. Pull rotor away from the car at the 9:00PM position. 4. Wiggle rotor...- Henry Cone

We use a total of 6 tie downs per car (4 in the front and 2 in the rear) to make it easier to tie the car down. Feel free to...- Henry Cone

TEAMTECH HARNESS ISSUES

Engine break-in
From my visit to CAAP I thought that I could share some thoughts on engine running prior to delivery. The engine is not "dyno'ed" at the Mound Road Engine Plant - it is hot tested (if I remember correctly) but it is not actually run like it would be on an enginer dyno. I believe that it is...- Henry Cone
