    Garage

    Mine is 30 deep by 44 wide with bump outs at each end; one for a desk the other for a compressor and storage shelving. The ceiling height at each end is 9 ft while the center bay has scissors trusses where I have my Revolution lift. I have three overhead doors spaced 4 ft apart that are 9 ft...

    Keep missing 3-4 shift

    From 1st to 2nd grip the knob with your palm toward you, then from 3rd to fourth rotate your grip so your palm is away from you. It seems to work for many people. I think Vic came up with this method first, 2-3 years ago.

    Low Profile and Being Seen

    I was stopped at a traffic light and in the right hand lane preparing to turn right on red. A pick-up was stopped and in the left lane next to me when he changed his mind and decided to turn right as well. He nearly took the front left of my car off. Never saw me. Talk about a frantic search...

    Failed windshield wiper motor?

    What Vic said is true. This happened to my 96 as well with only 2500 miles on it. There were no adjustments to make. The solution was two new motors.

    Hood gap??

    I agree with the bad hood concept; it doesn't fit the curvature of the headlamp assembly as Jeff said. Seems too flat in that area resulting in the flair out as Steve said.

    Which Picture doesn't fit?

    Re: Which Picture doesn\'t fit? "D" because whatever made the mark would have to be very flexible in order to make a full circle on uneven surfaces. But then, "A"; wouldn't the flames flow backward as the car is moving forward at speed? But then, "B" as the car doesn't appear to be on a drag...

    Another Raving Fan!

    I vote for Michigan! I ordered parts from him, got the invoice with the parts, saw he didn't charge me for freight so I added it into my check to him. He calls me long distance to tell me he didn't intend to charge the freight and would put it on my account for the next purchase. It was only...

    Anyone go to VOI 1?

    Yes there is a 1st Viper Owners Invitational poster; 17" x 22". Auburn Hills, Michigan, July 29-30, 1994. It's an artist rendering of a red Gen I (of course), 3/4 view from rear over a checkered flag. I can't read the signature but it's something like C Haig Kominzki. Mine is signed by him...

    Which aspect of the Viper design element DON'T you like the most?

    Re: Which aspect of the Viper design element DON\'T you like the most? No battery disconnect switch readily accessable (for those of us who have to go into hibernation for several months).

    Which aspect of the Viper design element DO you like the most?

    The rear view of my 93 without the top on; wiiiide and looooow augmented by those super wiiiide tires.

    Is your mechanic cheating you?

    The very first time I paid to have my oil changed could have ruined my engine. Had supper that night, went out to get in the car and noticed a huge puddle of oil on the pavement. Turns out the "mechanic" only turned the drain plug in one or two threads.

    Mystery Part Identified!!!!

    I may be wrong but I think the pins give you precise alignment whereas without them instatlled there are clearances between the bellhousing bolts and their holes which in turn would give you mis-alignment between the crank and trans input shaft.

    Polishing raised Aluminum Letters on valve covers?

    I sand mine. If you use this method I suggest gluing the paper to the block to keep it flat. This will reduce the risk of accidentally scratching the red due to "bulging" sandpaper.

    Tire pressure lesson

    Last week I had new tires (PS2's) put on my '96 and took it on the expressway yesterday. When there was no traffic ahead I ran it up to 120mph when the car became very loose side to side; scary in fact. I found that the "technician" had put 55 psi in the left rear tire and 35 in the others...

    Pilot sports VS. Pilot Sports 2? which one.

    I just had PS2's installed on my '96. I have known the store owner for some 20 years and fully trust his opinion. Basically, according to him for street use, pick the one you like the looks of the best. Do a search for Michelin tires and you can see the difference in tread design. There was...
