    Any experience out there selling a high mileage viper?

    I know these engines are pretty unstressed in comparison to almost any other sports car (let alone semi-exotic), but the only way (personally) I would buy one with that high of miles would be if I got it cheap enough to justify doing a complete rebuild on the engine. Lots of cars run over 100k...

    Viper GTS-R qualifies 1st and 3rd in Long Beach

    I admit I wasn't paying as close attention as you were, but how do you "miss a shift" with a sequential trans and paddle shifters?

    Keyless ignition

    I would do some research on how hard the Viper wheel lock is to disable. I think it would look a lot better to not have a broken off key in the ignition (even with a cover), plus it would not tip anyone off that you might have changed it. Even if the article about hacking the radio frequency...

    Spare half-shaft laying around?

    Mine was a pre-assembled unit by Unitrax. I haven't heard of it before, but a LOT of people run Quaife diffs, and it was a common problem, I would think people would be bitching about it a good bit. I'm definitely not to point of blaming it on the Quaife yet. Especially since I ran a lot of...

    Spare half-shaft laying around?

    That I'm not 100% sure about that. I didn't pull the diff, so I couldn't see into the hole. I just had to reach up there and unscrew the one that was in there and replace it. When there's an issue with the breather, is it usually inside the diff, or is it the breather itself? The breather...

    Spare half-shaft laying around?

    Got up on the lift and cleaned everything up. I didn't pull the rear end or half-shaft, but everything "looks" fine. I added some fluid back in and swapped the breather from my old housing to the one in the car. I'm just going to watch it and see what happens. I usually don't drive it all...

    Did anyone see this yet????...2014 ACR on the TOP GEAR TRACK!

    Not to be a smartass, but you do realize that's a video game, right?

    Spare half-shaft laying around?

    Yep, I'm running a Quaiffe. I've still got my old diff here, so I can try to compare the two. I'll look and see if the vent can swapped between them if I have an issue.

    NARRA 2013 Road Atlanta - Videos/Pictures, etc..

    Here's one of my DE sessions. I've got a few more from the weekend up, but no need to link them all. I'm about 10 seconds off Magnus, running 1:38's in my lowly Gen III vert. After getting acquainted with a wall and blowing the tranny last year, I'm trying to take it a little easier on the...

    Spare half-shaft laying around?

    Can you check if the vent is functioning without pulling the diff out? I haven't looked that in-depth at it, but I'll try to get it on the lift tomorrow. The bad part is that I won't be able to run it while it's on the lift, as the jacks just came in and I'm going to need the skidsteer and...

    Keyless ignition

    +1 here. If someone gives this a shot, please give opinions. I had it on my E55 and honestly thought it was cute novelty when I bought the car. I never knew how much I'd miss it when I sold the car though.

    Spare half-shaft laying around?

    I've got a problem that's been driving me crazy, and after talking with some people this past weekend at RA, it might be my half-shaft that's the problem. My axle seal on the passenger side of my diff has been leaking since towards the end of last year. While I was getting the tranny...

    Lap Timer Recommendations

    Harry's Lap Timer in the Viper (works pretty well, but does screw up and combine multiple laps sometimes). Traqmate in the race car (haven't had a chance to use it yet).

    FS -ACR Pilot Sport Cup tires

    Maybe once the ad gets "approved". This is still the dumbest thing to me. I understand approving ads posted by non-members, but if a member is posting an ad, I would think the percentage of BS ads would be basically zero. Maybe you'll sell them to someone who gets to see it before it's ever...

    Totally amazed with real tires

    Checking the ego is definitely needed at the track. It amazes me how long I'll get stuck behind someone sometimes because they don't want to get passed. And the people that edit their track videos so they don't ever show them being passed (I get a kick out of watching other people's videos...

    Totally amazed with real tires

    Welcome to a whole new world. A world where I don't even enjoy "spirited" mountain runs near as much anymore because I'm running on street tires. I could never even think about getting back on the track on street tires again.

    NARRA 2013 Road Atlanta - Videos/Pictures, etc..

    Keith, Any chance of putting some vids on youtube? I don't know what it is about vimeo, but every time I try to watch a video on that site, it's horrible. The sound and video don't match and it skips a lot, even though the buffer is showing completely done.

    Gen V GTS Pace Car for the NARRA event at Road Atlanta this weekend!!!!

    I'm sure you can get it down more, with that being the first time on those tires. Yeah, the rain sucked. I ran the 1:30 session and it started sprinkling a bit towards the end. After looking at the radar, it was pretty clear the 4:00 wasn't happening, so I loaded up and headed out. I would...

    Gen V GTS Pace Car for the NARRA event at Road Atlanta this weekend!!!!

    Blue, Where are you pitted and what does your car look like? I'd like to meet some more people that I haven't put a face with a name yet.

    NARRA Road Atlanta April 12-14

    Gotcha. Looks like I'm fine with most of the pack, as I was usally high 1:30's on worn out tires and I have fresh set now, and I'll figure out who the real fast guys are pretty quick to make sure I realize how fast they can close.

    NARRA Road Atlanta April 12-14

    Blue, no problem with the grid. What kind of lap times do you guys in TT usually turn at Road Atlanta (both on regular laps and your "flying" laps)? At least that will give me an idea of what some of the faster guys will be running.

    NARRA Road Atlanta April 12-14

    I guess I'll be running with the TT cars then (that was what she said before she said there would 3 groups) and checking the mirror a lot. I hate to run with guys that are actually competing for something while I'm not, but I definitely don't want to deal with the trains and "straight only...
