    NORCAL VIPER Sitings

    I saw a Bumble Bee GTS at the Trimble Road off ramp around 10 am. Second time that I have seen this car in the same approximate place! Driver is not too friendly. Must not be a VCA member.

    Couple more new pictures...

    Re: Couple more new pictures.... Just noticed that there is a large portion of the front window blacked out in the rear view mirror attachment point. It appears to even block the drivers view. Is this just something on the prototype?

    Does anyone have an update on how Wallbanger (Harvey Osborn) is doing?

    I have been thinking about Wallbanger lately and wonder how he is doing. The latest update was more than a year ago. Does anyone know how he is doing?

    Cluth problems?

    I would check the usual stuff, the Master Cylinder fluid level, make sure bleeder screw and fittings are tight and for leaks. Good Luck!

    What is the highest mileage Viper you have seen or heard of ??

    Nice program, too bad I don't qualify. I am the third owner. The two PO only put 15K miles on the clock. In the past 5 years I have added over 55K to that number. At the current rate, I have only 3 years to go to break 100K.

    Oil pan gasket: Fel-pro or OEM

    Sorry, it is not a quick fix. To replace the rear gasket the transmission has to be removed. I haven't done the front myself but it has a similar level of involvement.

    Oil pan gasket: Fel-pro or OEM

    Where is it leaking? I went down this same path a couple of years ago. I thought the pan gasket was leaking and replaced it even though there was nothing wrong with the old one. Then I found the real cause of the leak was the rear main seal plate gasket. It is a inverted u shape gasket on the...

    Traded my Viper yesterday...

    The Challenger is the best all around choice of the Retro Muscle! Dodge has a real winner with this car. I have to say the Camaro is more fun to drive but that is where the fun stops. The fit, finish and and attention to detail is seriously lacking. The way the doors close and everything that...

    Club members Viper was jn Michigan so he brought his OTV to meeting last night....

    ..we let him park with us anyway!!!:) I really enjoyed the first hand accounts of what 1000 HP care can do! WE had a great turnout in a great location to celebrate the retirement of our Region Secretary and Treasurer. Here is another shot at the end of the evening when most of the...

    Help! Idle drops low when stopped, occasionally dies.

    I know this is obvious, but sometimes it needs to be said. Remove the Positive Battery Cable from the Battery Post BEFORE grounding it. I know, 99% of you knew that already.

    Cars and Coffee

    Thanks for the information. I didn't see this post in time. I went to the old location 2 weeks ago and there was not a single cool car to found (except mine of course). I didn't think to look down the street at the Theatre parking lot.

    Oil Pan Gasket Question/Observation

    This was my problem! I replaced my perfectly good oil pan gasket and did all of the tricks mentioned above with no success. Once I replaced my rear main seal cover gasket the problem was solved.

    Viper Pistol

    The Viper pistol has an interesting pedigree. Here is some information about it. http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg/jrod/viper-jaws-e.html I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk as well. I just picked up a bargain on a Rock Island Armory 1911-A1 45ACP. It shoots just fine... :)

    Anyone cut a stock Gen 2 Cat in half?

    They must be having a hard time cutting through the ceramic core. Why wouldn't you just use a ROE High-flow converter? They are already about half the size.....

    I hate the press

    All that HP doesn't do a bit of good if they can't get it to the ground! A friend has a 2007 GT500. I mentioned to him the news above, his comment was "Big deal, they still have a solid axle and skinnys in the rear and I can't even get my ponys to the ground so it is only going to be worse!"
