I retired the flag when the cleanup was finished, now there's just a small one on the rear. To say I was rusty would be an understatement, but at my first track outing in a year, I didn't do too badly and managed to squeeze off a 2:12. If I had another session or so I would have dropped another...
Re: the official \"see you at viper days at buttonwillow\" thread...
I'll be there too! I'm going thursday to sunday.
I didn't run ViperDays this year and I can't wait to get back to it. Look for me in my black ACR, #44. I'll be a bit rusty, but should be up to speed by sat/sun.
The clutch pedal doesn't have anything to do with heel/toe, but Sean's directions do mention how to get some movement out of the other pedals to put them closer together.
What works in the Viper with the stock pedals is to use the left side of the ball of your foot on the break and pivot the...
Vinyl stripes do not affect the clearcoat or paint. Do a search, many on this board have done it. Al Roberts always has a different set of vinyl graphics on his car and his paint is as perfect as the day it rolled off the line.
For the cost involved, try vinyl. If you really like it you can...
Could whomever is about to announce this kit please email me and let me know the details? I'm about to put a solution together myself, but if someone is about to release a kit it may save me the time.
Not necessarily so. My Viper tech replaced all my lifters under warranty due to extreme lifter noise in a couple cylinders. That is a pretty involved thing and my motor didn't go back to arrow. The tech did a great job, and no more lifter noise!
So Bill asked that I include the rest of the pics here on the board. I'll say up front that I'm biased, but this stuff is really nice. I know the lug nuts are pricey, but the stock set of garbage nuts is like a $100 I think. The coasters are great, and I already have one of the plaques in my...
You're imagining things. Now us ACR owners on the other hand, we look down our nose at ALL the other Vipers!
Actually, my next Viper purchase will be a Silver RT/10. That way, I can do away with the "luxury" options in my ACR like the windows, door panels, AC, etc. I really think every...
Its air. Just because a tech does it, doesn't mean he can't leave an air pocket. Your baby will run cool as a cucumber with the fluidyne. I've got air in mine right now too and it can be a real PITA to get it all out. The only way to know for sure is to burp it, then drive it and see if you got...
I just wanted to speak up to the f-body crowd on this thread and say I think its great when owners of other marques come on here and have sensible conversation (I didn't bother reading the thread on the f-body forum). I'm personally sick of the elitest Viper owner snobbery that always resorts to...
Re: 500hp doesn\'t sound like much to me any more...
Well, I can tell you what NOT to do. Last week Wayne Markowitz finally took me for a ride in his Lethal 750. All I can say is, one ride in that car and you'll be selling one of your kidneys to get that package. It was awesome. The big problem...
Re: \"Big Boy\" racing seats???
Maybe you just need more lube?
sorry, couldn't resist!
I'm one of those "skinny azzes" and my sparco 2K is actually roomy. I know you can order sparco seats by width, so I'd imagine you can order other makes by width as well.
Hey Jim, you should come to our monthly meeting and join the VCA (if you haven't already). We meet the first tuesday of every month at Mama Mia's on Hamilton Ave in Campbell. Now that you've got the sickness, its time to come to the support group!
You can see every mod there is from mild to...
Do a search, we covered this topic a while back. You will NOT get the same results with a 3.55 than with a 3.07. Its basically the same principle as why you would not expect to get the same results if you dyno'd in 3rd gear or 5th gear rather than 4th gear. I would expect it to be "close"...
Phewwww! From the subject line, I was afraid this thread was gonna be about someone "over-soup'ing" or something.
This year has been hard with the economy- I'm hoping to get a year in like that next year, enjoy it! I want to see us do a Viper podium sweep at OTC next year!
Re: PMUM\'s Car Setup (paging PMUM)
I've heard good things about the V700s, but their sizes suck. I've heard through the grapevine that they'll be adding additional sizes soon so that tire may be an upcoming alternative. Another would be the Michelin Sport Cup, again, assuming Michelin starts...
If you can go to a wider tire in front, you'll be amazed at how it improves the understeer problem. I went to 285s and could tell the difference noticeably over the 275s. Some ViperDays drivers go all the way to 315s in front.
Otherwise, you just have to play with the tire pressures, and the...
Oh, don't worry Dean, I have a couple more excuses on deck... "I'm not used to the new aluminum flywheel yet"... "The new B&M shifter is really stiff"...
I figure I'll hang on to those and just use the "Its only my first time"... on saturday!
