Re: Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest pa
Im going to go with a rebuilt unit ... that's all the mechanics would have done if they could have LOL ... and the price is less than 1/3 of a new one :) ---
OK UPDATE:
I purchased a new gas cap ... codes thrown still.
I put the stock tune back on , codes thrown still.
It must have been a coincidence that it happened after the tune was installed.
It may have happened when the 1.7 H.Sharp Roller Rockers were installed or the...
Hey Todd, I got your message and sent you a detailed email of the situation.
Thanks for the AWESOME customer service.
I appreciate your advice too Speed ... I actually erased the codes then drove around 30-40 miles, and luckily everything turned "ready" except the evap system , and in Missouri...
I guess that will be my next step , I haven't tried it yet.
I would hate to drive around for 40 miles for the system to reset itself on a stock tune though.
I don't have major mods, do you think I will have issues on a stock tune?
(1.7 roller rockers, high flow cats, 3" corsa exhaust...
I am throwing codes P0455 and P0442 after I had my A&C SCT Tune installed (which could totally be a coincidence).
These are Evap System Codes ... "big leak" .
I have a locking gas cap , but I had that before the tune with no issues.
I was told to replace the gas cap first , for the...

Thanks Red Snake.
Dan, I haven't done business with VPA before ... thanks for the heads up , I will check them out.
I will probably go rebuilt on the front end , and new with the rear stuff ---
Re: Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest pa
The wheels had some slop in them from side to side on all 4 corners ... the rears were a lot worse than the fronts somehow.
The ebay stuff is Remanufactured ... is there anything wrong with going that...
Re: Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest pa
WHEW, thanks for letting me know that Hiss ... I already feel better , that's a $650 difference!!!
I haven't had a chance to search around yet. :D ---
Re: Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest pa
I will check Ebay , is there any inferior brand I need to watch for out there ... or are all the parts pretty much the same?
I wasn't sure if it was just best to stick with MOPAR stuff.
Thanks! ---
Re: Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest pa
Yeah they are pretty hardcore. Seems like the cars have to be PERFECT , yet I see beaters on the roads all the time, lol.
I am always jumping through hoops when its time for new plates.
Personal Property...
I was told (and shown) that my rear inner toe link , and front steering gear need to be replaced. (tie rods)
They also said that you cant just replace the fronts, you need to get an entire new rack and pinion setup too?
My car only has 23k miles on it ('01 GTS) , is this typical...
Re: A couple great rolling shots of my Viper by the River this weekend while cruising
He told me it is a fully built engine ... forged bottom end , heads , cam, intake manifold ... no spray or boost.

I agree, and so does a lot of the public.
I have been asked 3 times in the last 10 times I was out driving my car if it was "one of those NEW Vipers" , and I have 20"/20" wheels.
From the side it resembles it a lot.
What cam, the 708?
NICE WHEELS , congrats on the Viper purchase!!! ---
Re: A couple great rolling shots of my Viper by the River this weekend while cruising
It was a Facebook "invited" event for people interested in "spirited driving", and a BBQ. STL Speed
It was my first time attending, I wasn't really sure what to expect. It was a good time though ---
Re: A couple great rolling shots of my Viper by the River this weekend while cruising
Here is a vid of the first group of slower cars out of the bunch leaving the first meet spot where that pic above with the caves was taken.
I am about 1:35 in , I didn't realize it was being taped so I took...
Re: A couple great rolling shots of my Viper by the River this weekend while cruising
Im not sure on the camera and settings ... I doubt he will tell me if I ask but I will try.
Here is a couple still shots :) Thanks again! ---
