    Gen II Frame question

    As Jon said, GenI and II much the same frames. Front rack area and rear diff mount frame recalls to bring up to spec. '96 didn't have the holes engineered into the frame rails for the crumple zone points in event of a crash.

This one I planned as a log cabin type (board with brick laying!) had to do something a little special...my Mum was a star, helped with this hand-layed Viper '97 GTS mosaic design into the concrete...

    Need Input on Clutch Issue

    Hi Jack, Yes, the clutch needs 0.5" stoke to disengage. But...on a twin plate I found out the wear factor to be up to 0.19" that means the max stroke needs to be at least 0.7" but it should have 0.197" free play engineered in as well. I called up AP racing UK who make the OE slave, they...

    Need Input on Clutch Issue

    Jack this has been on my mind a little all day! I started doing some more measures, I had several OE slaves, and with the bearing on the spring, fully retracted, there was a defference of 0.182" between them all (!!!) the years were '94 - '99. But...I have sourced other bearings to replace on...

    Road racing hill climb

    Sorry for delay in reply, and thanks for asking. I fitted one of these to the car :-) It's running an ATB rear, but still on OE suspension, which likely helped a little on the first climb as it was so bumpy. At over 100mph, crossing a ridge in the road the car actually jumped a little...

    Need Input on Clutch Issue

    Oh Jack, I've been a norty, norty girl! I forgot to go measure :-( It's Tony 1 : 1 's fault, I got distracted thinking of his special measure tool he posted about :-) I can say that I checked some HRBs I had removed, and yes there are differences, I fully agree with you, this is of concern! I...

    Woodhouse motor mounts

    Just installed a second set of Woodhouse motor mounts on a GenII, and one of the OE mounts was torn all the way thorough, the other was distorted, so just wanted to put a post here to revive and let others know! Woodhouse mounts are the best. With the new mounts the trans now sits where it...

    Road racing hill climb

    It might be over 10 years old now, but a '97 has still got what it takes to be out front :D Just been over to Isle of Man, famous for it's TT motorcycle races, for their road racing hill climb weekend. Drove the Viper over and back, the only bit of damage (other than the gas costs) was to the...

    Royal Purple 75w90 Gear Oil

    I've just gone over to Castrol, knew it was approved as factory fill for BWM, but case came stickered up for Jaguar and Aston Martin too. Before that used Motul and very pleased with it, just so expensive over here, was something like over $50 a qt.

    black valve covers mods/pics

    Venomiss, you could try the look with a colored vinal sticker. Figured if the stickers on our side exit exhaust covers can take the heat they should be 'cool' for on the covers, intake etc. Put these black flames on for fun, and they just withstood 2 days of hard racing under hood temps! I'll...

    Re-Painting Valve Covers - how to ?

    I've had a friend (works at powder coaters) do 3 sets for me now and all have come out well. I always prep the covers myself, I strip the old off with industrial paint stripper...I think others might have shot blasted to remove, leaving a slightly scoured surface? I wonder if this lends to...
