    Magnecor Plug Wire Install

    Let me know if you come up with a custom solution. I know it would look a lot better than those stock black plastic looms.

    Magnecor Plug Wire Install

    I got the same wires (from Albert, thanks), and could not get them to fit in the stock wire looms (2000 RT/10). From the photos, it certainly looks possible, but after fighting them with lube and finally getting them to pop into the looms, it looked like the opposite side of the loom (when I...

    Hand Brake Pulls Up too Far...

    Mine also seems to do the same thing, but only when I pull the handle up and towards me (which is a natural motion when seated in the drivers seat). When I pull the handle straight up, (i.e. perpendicular to the console surface) it has never done this. Not sure if the sideways tension causes the...

    K40 Undetectable. Any using it?

    I know the reputation of the Valentine 1, but in my RT/10 with the top usually off, I see this as a real pain. Plus tucking the Valentine away when I park the Viper probably means putting it into the trunk every time. The K40 Undetectable looks attractive in that the sensors are hard mounted in...

    Viper/Sauna???

    At the start of the summer I also had a problem with my AC losing charge in my 2000 RT/10 and no longer putting out cold air. The Viper Tech said that there was indeed an AC leak and that Dodge had a reworked AC line part (sorry that I do not remember the exact part description) that they were...

    Just bought Damaged RT/10...Was it yours???

    It is a "public" website in that the information posted is all public, but it is a fee-based service. You can access the site at http://www.publicdata.com/ I think the fee is $25/year. I used it a lot when I was searching the Texas license plates for a good plate to use on the Viper. Of course...

    Exhaust Advice

    As long as we are on the topic, I also have been contemplating the addition of either headers plus exhaust or just a cat-back system. I am told I should be careful about matching the header and exhaust system sizes, i.e. if I go 3 inch headers, then use a 3 inch exhaust, but if I go cat-back...

    car show ideas?

    A couple of guys where I work are trying to organize a car show for employees. There are cars of all sorts here, M5s, M3s, Porsches, various 70's era camaros, several corvettes of all vintages, a single viper (mine), drag-strip type mustangs, etc. Along with that are an assortment of nice bikes...

    annoying cosmetic quality problem

    I had my hardtop on my 2000 RT/10 all winter (which isn't all that long in Texas). I noticed the other day after taking it off that the little plastic trim cups which go around the front locking post holes for the hardtop (right by the visor swingarms) were loose. I appears that these little...

    Recommendations on Dallas area stereo installer

    Thanks for the replies. I will definitely head down to the Car Stereo Store. Definitely a plus if the owner is a Viper owner. And Jay - awesome setup in your Explorer. Must be quite something to listen to. The component speaker upgrade struck me as the first thing to do, but perhaps an...

    Recommendations on Dallas area stereo installer

    All this talk about audio upgrades has got me looking to do a component speaker upgrade in my 2000 RT/10. I have heard good things about the MB Quart speakers and stopped at the Car Toys outlet which carries them. They said the speaker upgrade into the MB Quart Q series and installation will run...

    What does everyone do for a living?

    Quite an interesting compilation of occupations! I am also a software engineer and work for a company doing embedded software for DSL routers. I'm glad I bought my Viper before the NASDAQ crash(es)....

    Gunter Ring Race Track - Dallas area?

    That is a serious outlay for a membership! After taking a 3 day Justin Bell course in Florida earlier this month, I started looking at Motorsports Ranch for a venue to keep up with what I learned in driving school and enjoy another aspect of the car. Motorsports Ranch looks like it offers what...

    Gunter Ring Race Track - Dallas area?

    I saw an advertisement in last month's D Magazine about the upcoming opening of Gunter Ring Motorsports Country Club. The advertisement mentioned 3 Grand Prix race tracks, 16 configurations, etc. Opening is scheduled in summer of 2001 with "special charter membership packages". I called the...

    How many of you bought NEW?

    I also bought my new 2000 RT/10 from Bill Pemberton at Woodhouse. I had called him inquiring about price and availability earlier in the year and he called me back when he had an arrival scheduled. They shipped the car from Nebraska to Dallas in an enclosed trailer. I was very impressed with the...

    Just Curious

    A 2000 RT/10, Red with black interior. A few cosmetic touches added (MGW knobs, shifter, license plate frame, dip stick handle). Only have 800 miles so far (still in that break-in period). Recently got a set of smooth tubes which I will install this weekend.

    Can't believe I got the custom plates I wanted!!

    Re: Can\'t believe I got the custom plates I wanted!! I used publicdata.com to search for available license plates when I got the personalized plate for my new viper. They cover Texas and several other states, but not California.
