I pull the alternator out to go get it tested, and I took it to two different part shops... and as luck would have it, I get Dumb N' Dumber.... one guy says yeah! it's crankin' just fine!14amps! (but you may want to get it rechecked, as our machine has been on the blink) lol... so I go...
Re: Isn\'t it funny, that our cars... are THE cars to beat? :)
Right on GJ... lol.... Now there's something I doubt we'd see in a some classifieds add "TwinTurbo Viper Killer".... if we'd did, it sure as heck better have a Jet Engine and Parachute attached to it lol ;)
Isn\'t it funny, that our cars... are THE cars to beat? :)
**** Just a ramble...
It's so funny to me, that on all these classified adds... ebay.... ect... you always find the supposed fast cars as being promoted as "Viper Killers" lol it's seems like performance cars in general, in just...
Hey guys :) I did a forum search for the subject and read where a member avoided some Viper Tax and had luck with having his Alt. Rebuilt... there's a company right in my city that does just that.... any oddball things I need to know about removing and installing the Alternator in my 96...
Re: Wouldn\'t ya know it, I\'d have to race after my Dyno...
Nice numbers :) but I'm curious too, as to how the STI was pretty fast but you left him behind? did he keep up with you initially? I'm just curious how fast those lil AWD cars are relative to ours.
alrighty, I had the TB's machined not too long ago.... and this has only been an issue since I've had it done.... car has a very very weak idle.... so my very inexperienced hypothosis is "out of sync TB's", will someone with more $.02 than me voice an opinion :) thanks guys.... GotOne...
I'm doing a forum search for this same issue... you just described exactly what my GTS was doing earlier.... I had to gradually give it gas to keep it from dying... and at best it would pur at just below 500RPM.... very weak idle... I'm sure this is common... so I'm trying to see what I...
^^ Exactly... Brian also vouched for their work, and he was on the money... they did an awesome Job. Plus this Permastar Chrome... is actually a new Chrome Powdercoating process they offer.... it's Chrome paint pretty much, 5yr warranty on fading, flaking, chipping ect... absolutely no...
thx! they are Kinesis K-28 3-piece... from the manuf. chrome is not an option... so I was curious to see how they came out... definitely happy with'em.

Saw a Saphire Blue GTS on Elverta Road in Antelope, Ca... 20-30ish female driving... don't see too many of our cars on the road, let alone a hot chick driving one (if this is your girl/wife, pls take that as a compliment) lol
I'd been wondering how much of a difference it would be to slap some new rubber on.... I have some old P-Zeros that are wearing down... feels like I'm ridding on ice.... good info... I think I may go snag of set of Pilots.
I almost forgot I had a Viper... lol. Got my wheels back today, and man does it look sweet... like a having a new car again. Precision Wheels in Sacramento, Ca. did a beautiful job... in the interest of the Viper community, I do have to say it took just shy of 2 months to complete my...
I actually really like that hood and how it creeps up the glass.... the side profile of the car looks awesome.... the only thing that would prevent me from snatchin up a hood like that is the additional "Speakers" on the hood.... besides that, it looks pretty bad azz.
that's crazy how it's kind of the same story for all the owners... I know EXACTLY how you feel man!! I had my Saleen for a little over a year... and I had to admitt that it did lose it's flare... which is exactly why I'm in the snake now ;) I there's no sign of change coming!!
I personally don't care for the look, but I'm sure the beauty is in the eye of the beholder :) think about the $$ that was spent on the "extras".... he could have got a nice "blue/white" lol jk.
