I am guessing he didn't send the care package on a Monday. :D
All joking aside - I sure hope that your health problems fade quickly and this week's checkup brings good news. It's very special to know that someone that I value as a friend did this for you. He's a good egg and I am proud to...
Um, no.
Yes on the springs, but no on the random bouncing off the pavement.
Stiff springs / shock settings make any driver input more "immediate" and less forgiving when someone overcorrects. A stiff car usually "handles" better, but on the hands of an experienced driver - thus the whole...
Thanks, Mary!
We're going to be at a hotel in the afternoon - perhaps that would be fun. I'll give Lee a buzz.
We're trying on the website - but I really need to get ahold of "you-know-who" and get that thing looking better!
Onward and upward.....

Thanks for your support. As a rescue, seeing the hundreds of purebred dogs come through our program - the absolute last thing in the world we encourage anyone to do is to go breed more. While there are good breeders out there - that do genetic research, produce champions, only breed when they...
As some of you may know, in addition to my Viper fanaticism, I am also involved with dog rescue - Cocker Spaniels, specifically. My group - Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center is located in Maryland. (www.cockeradoptions.org)
October is our annual fundraiser for the Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center...
There was a HUGE driveaway event this past week at Virginia International Raceway..... 2008's were there and tested on track then handed over to the media for the rest of the week.
I saw the snakeskin green convertible leaving the track (thanks for hanging out so we could see it at Viper Days...
Thank you for the complete and thorough assessment of the situation.
I learned a little about ATF+4 - it's a pure synthetic, with better lubricating properties, higher heat resistance and resists cavitation. ATF+4 WAS a Chrysler proprietary formula and they license it to others. Couldn't...
Per Redline's site - it is safe to use where the manufacturer calls for ATF
Synthetic
Power Steering Fluid
TECHNICAL DATA
RED LINE POWER STEERING FLUID satisfies the requirements of most power steering units, while providing 50% greater operating viscosity, 1/5 the evaporation of petroleum...
I am gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here because you don't have a comp coupe sitting in your basement. HOWEVER the comp coupe most certainly DOES have a hydraulic fan motor. The reason the comp coupe is competitively priced is that it utilizes a TON of stock parts - engine, cooling...
Is your car made of sugar or something?
And - it's reasonable to want to have VIPERS at a VIPER event for a VIPER corral - we wouldn't want those Corvette guys to think we were wussies, would we?
After having a leak in this setup - disconnecting it isn't worth it, IMO. The connectors are NOT user friendly.
Been flushing the comp coupe this way for 3 seasons now - never broken the lines loose.....
I am a firm believer in "if it's not leaking, don't break it open unless you have to".......
Brembo has been the brake supplier for the Viper forever. It's possible that they calipers are now labeled "Brembo" instead of Viper to take advantage of Brembo's performance reputation. As fas as I know the brake system remains the same as the Gen III. (Why mess with success - it's a...
Great news.
I'll try to catch up with you both over the weekend.
SOOOOO happy he's out of the hospital. Of course, as you mentioned, now comes the challenging part of keeping him on the straight and narrow path to recovery.
Hang in there and try to take some time and get some real rest...
If you are talking about the one piece magnesium wheels (not the three piece stock comp coupe wheels) they are about $1500 each, fragile as all get out, and available through Viper Race Headquarters.
You'll have to press that ball joint out and then press in a new one. It's a B1TCH. We have the special tools for this I think - or - you can try taking it to a machine shop for the removal, and then we've put the ball joint int the freezer and the control arm in the oven at about 300 and...
