An unfortunate first - car keyed
Yep, when I bought my first Viper it had that talking alarm on it. I came out of a resaurant one night to find some assclown kicking my tires just so he could hear it talk again, and again, and again. I got in his face a little.....until I realized he wasn't actually hurting anything. People...- trainville

Nitrous bottle openers? Suggestions?
The purge button is made by "Ignited." You'll find them with a search on the web. I bought this one off of ebay. Kinda cool since they come in all sorts of colors and are lighted. Good luck, Ted- trainville

Custom hood grilles for sale.......only 1 set!
I decided several months ago to try and powdercoat my "speaker grilles" on the hood of my silver/blue GTS. I didn't want to ruin my set, so I bought a spare set to experiment with. I had them powdercoated in 'near chrome' which match my silver paint perfectly. Since I was going to the...- trainville

Nitrous bottle openers? Suggestions?
Here's a couple if pics of what I recently did. I took the lid off a spare ashtray and inserted switches in an aluminum plate. I like the fact that I can swap out ashtrays and don't have to cut any holes in my dash. Hope you like.....- trainville

Two thumbs up for HelmetCity.com
Absolutely! I recently bought a Simpson helmet and received it within a couple of days. Pretty competitive prices PLUS the VCA discount. I received a free tinted visor and free shipping. Great place to go if any of you need a helmet.- trainville

Need help fast, car wont start
The fob is exactly your problem (which you know now!) My Viper tech said there is just about no way to disable the factory alarm. After disconnecting and reconnecting power to the car, the alarm automatically arms itself. Therefore when you go to start it, it WILL start, but the fuel...- trainville

Rollbar needed - anyone want to part with one?

factory alarm question
Try replacing the batteries in your fob. That's a cheap place to start and maybe it's running out of juice. The factory alarm has a fuel-interrupt which will allow the car to start, but then it quickly dies (when alarm is activated). I'd check the $5 battery first. Good luck,- trainville

Car takes a while to turn over...HELP
When my battery was getting low.....let me rephrase that.....just before my battery totally failed, I experienced trouble starting. The starter sounded sluggish and it took several seconds to start. If your starter sounds quick and lively, it must be a fuel issue. If your starter is sluggish...- trainville

A/C problems......about ready to gut HVAC system!
It appears it's quite common to have A/C issues with our cars. I tried to charge the system with a can of R134a, but it still blows warm air. Maybe I have other problems, but it doesn't appear to be leaking anywhere. Anyone actually remove their A/C garbage? I know the ACR's were available...- trainville

A/C Compressor replacement
Did you try to recharge your A/C without proper gauges? I've heard of that happening. If not, did it just wear out?- trainville

Where to run nitrous lines on GTS?? Inside or out??
I am getting ready to install the nitrous line from the trunk of my '98 GTS to the engine compartment. What is the best way to route the line?? I am hoping for a pre-existing tunnel so I don't have to run it under the car or through the passenger compartment. Also, I just fabricated a 1/4"...- trainville

Question for NITROUS guys...
I just received my NX wet system and the -4AN braided hoses are way too long (from solenoid to nozzle). Has anyone shortened hoses before, and if so, HOW? Hopefully I won't have to order a set of custom ones. TIA, Ted- trainville
