    Tuner question

    Is there any advantage to installing gen 2 1.6 rockers on a gen 1 engine ? I know I have seen posts on this before, but don't recall seeing an answer to this question as far as an other wise stock engine is concerned. Thanks

    Short People

    Now you've done it ! My wife (all 5' of her) was reading these messages and says "They don't have a clue what short is". Doug Levin told me how to get another inch or so seat travel, but it still doesn't seem enough to convince my "lil lady" to try to drive the car (+/- ?). Is there anyone out...

    Wheel Alignment and Tires

    I also need help with the alignment specs, and would really appreciate it if you could post them. Then I need to find a shop that can perform the work. I took my service manual to one of the major alignment shops. They read the manual, but apparently do not have some of the specialized equipment...

    Why do you like stripes vs no stripes on your Viper?

    If I'm not mistaken (probably am...), the original purpose of "rallye stripes" was to allow the driver to line up markers in a road race. Looking out the windshield across the hood, sighting the corner markers and be able to mark where to brake, down shift, up shift, what ever. If that's the...

    Darn, can\'t seem to go anywhere without... Absolutley gorgeous day yesterday. Drive the Viper into town, more an excuse to drive than for any real purpose. Park way out in the middle of the parking lot, go into Borders for a few books, come out and see quite a few people gathered around the...

    Why do you like stripes vs no stripes on your Viper?

    STRIPES !!!!!!! I think my car looks much better with the stripes. I've had my '69 Z/28 for 28 years. Red car w/black stripes. Maybe I'm just used to it, but the Viper just seemed to scream for the stripes. And they sure look better parked next to each other now. It also seems to get more...

    Why didn't dodge go with the ZF transmission instead of the t-56?

    Re: Why didn\'t dodge go with the ZF transmission instead of the t-56? I get calls for many more replacement ZF trans's than B-W. There's either a LOT more ZF built unit's out there, or their failure rate is much higher. I am not of course talking specificaly about the Viper application.

    Ignition SystemTune-Up

    Is there an aftermarket brand of common ignition tune-up parts for the Viper ? Plug wires, etc. ? My car has just 19k on it now, but the wires all appear to be original and I would think that after seven years they would warrant replacement. What type of spark plugs seems to be the best ?

    Brake Dust ?????

    I have chromed (not polished) 96 wheels on my car. I noticed that I was getting what I thought was brake dust on the wheels. When I had the chance to clean them I tried soap and water, but it didn't seem to clean up. I tried scrubbing them harder, but still have most of the discoloration there...

    '93 / '92 owners need your advice!

    Re: \'93 / \'92 owners need your advice! I'm pondering selling my '94 w/19k. No A-C. It just rains here too much to truly appreciate the car. If I keep it, I should probably just put it away. What are you thinking of spending ?

    HUGE Cooling Problems with RT/10, Need Experts!!

    Overheating any engine is bad news, but overheating an aluminum engine can be much more serious, as damage happens at a lower temperature than cast iron, and can be more severe. I hope you kept the documents from the dealers that did the repairs under warranty. Down the road you may need to...

    "Fogged" lamps

    \"Fogged\" lamps I recently re-aligned my right headlamp assm. Saturday night I got caught in a 75 mile long down pour. Sunday morning I noticed that the inside of my right side headlamp was fogged up. I know there is a vent hose on top of the headlamp assm's for heat exhaust (I guess), but...

    factory tunes

    The factory radio in my '94 actually doesn't sound bad. I was thinking about adding a factory CD player. From the owners manual I see it's a 6 CD player, and the stock radio already has all the control buttons. Any opinion on the factory cd player ? Sound like a "plug & play" addition.

    Gen 1 semi-daily driver?

    I drive my '94 several times a week. I originally planned on using it only on special occasions, but now even going to the post office has turned into a special occasion. AND it actually gets BETTER gas mileage than anything else I own ! Put it in 6th and idle where ever you go ! Just turned...

    Tuner Vipers keep breaking down what is the deal?

    I read in yesterdays Car & Driver that the Venom 800 TT was troubled with electric demons. Probably a wise decision to back away. I also read about the Z06 (more about the guy at the local mex/cantina patheticaly asking for sale leads and posting flyers asking for bids on his '00 later !!)...
