    Coming out of long term storage...

    Jim, where is home for you now? Just wondering where you're from originally. Is it good being back in the States? I'm hoping to get a little cooperative weather this weekend. I'm having Viper withdrawal! Jeff

    my progress

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was never a factory color, correct? Just curious what the original color was. That is a NICE looking car. Very nice. Jeff

    how can any viper owner like Connoly Leather?

    And your reply is unusually rude... The guy was just asking a question. Here's mine - why does owning exotic sports cars make people think they have to act like a butthole? I HAVE Connely Leather and I don't particularly care for it. It does go well with the black exterior in sunlight, but...

    2009 wheels on 2001 GTS poll

    I gotta go with stockers - that's why I bought a 2000 and not older. I never cared for the ACR wheel - they look like every other "racer" wheel out there - it's a very common style. The 09's are nice - I didn't even know they made that wheel for 09... I like the SRT/10 RAM wheels - those...

    How long have you owned your Viper???

    yeah I gotta say - I'd love to know what maintenance has been required, if it ever had any breakdowns, etc that you've been through. If it's done all that with nothing more than belts, tune-ups, etc, that's damned impressive!!! Me, I've had my Viper for... ...10 days. Woo hoo!!! :headbang...

    Coming out of long term storage...

    Coming from someone who owns a classic vehicle, check for LEAKS, or even seapage from gasket areas, such as oil pan, rear main seals, tranny ouput shaft, and differential seals. 3 years of fluid just sitting against those gaskets could have caused leaks, especially with seasonal changes and a...

    Metric or Standard?

    You just gotta keep rubbing that in, don't you? :) T20 Torx - got it, thanks. I don't know that I actually need to remove the column since I'm just getting the wheel off. Anyone know what size bolts hold in the airbag module? I just removed my wife's this morning and it used a 5mm!! I had...

    Metric or Standard?

    Well, guess I'll just load up the bag. Good thing I spent over two years as an automotive tech. Can anyone at least tell me what kind of screws/bolts hold the bottom of the steering column in place? I just did my wife's clock spring and it needed torx bits... Stupid Ford... Jeff

    Metric or Standard?

    Hey all. Long story short - my Viper sits in Ohio where I work full time, and my actual home is in PA. I only get to come home every other weekend, which is why I decided to keep the Viper (in secure storage) in Ohio, where I spend more time. I have to do some minor work on the car...

    Another Stereo Thread!!

    I hear ya, GTSnake, and I agree. All evidence points to a non-preamped factory unit, so it looks like I'll need a converter. No biggee - already have my source. Thanks.

    VIPER salvage yards

    X2 Builders - wrecked dodge vipers for sale Their prices seem high on SOME stuff, reasonable on others. $450 door skins? But only $350 for the carpet... *shrug* I have a cognac interior that I want to turn black but still keep the originals for resale value. So I'm looking, too. Jeff

    crazy it still hasn't sold!

    I've been watching Viper prices now almost all year. I just bought mine two weeks ago. This car was immaculate - absolutely pampered by the previous owner. He game me ALL the original parts that he replaced. This guy even had to cut a small hole in the driver's side wheel shroud to install a...

    I Would Like to Introduce Myself.

    Alright so there's two muffins in an oven... The one muffin turns to the other and says, "Man, it is HOT in here!" The other muffin turns and says... ..."HOLY SH!T - A TALKING MUFFIN!!!" :lmao: A good one for your Thanksgiving Day dinner. When my brother tells it, we all...

    Anyone know this GTS?

    I'm assuming you've already started here: eBay Motors: Dodge : Viper (item 150309004137 end time Nov-16-08 18:30:00 PST) Beyond that, I have nothing else.

    I Would Like to Introduce Myself.

    Jon - I believe his name is Charlie Brown III, and last I knew, he has a black GTS Viper with ghost flames, dish-out rims and a yellow smiley gear shift knob. :) I met him in 2000 or 2001 when he came to PennState to give a small seminar to the Society of Automotive Engineer students. A...

    Anyone know this GTS?

    It's still on Ebay now - I've already contacted the seller for more information. The price is VERY cheap, but it's got some nicks and scratches, and I don't really care for the wheels - but that's just me. Last I saw it was at $32,000 with no reserve.

    Another Stereo Thread!!

    I'm thinking that you're correct, except that most aftermarket units are always preamped, and the Alpine is (of course) an aftermarket unit. I found some information on other Viper boards suggesting that the Alpine unit isn't amped, and thus the converter would be needed. I'm prepared to get...

    I Would Like to Introduce Myself.

    Lol - money in the bag. I never thought about that. :) My wife likes that photo - said it looks like the car is talking to me. I said it looks like the car is just finishing transforming back from Autobot mode. :) Juli, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun chatting with you! I'm...

    You didn't think I only took one photo, didja??! That's my favorite one... That was first sight, man... Whew... Jeff

    Another Stereo Thread!!

    But I only have ONE question - I'll ask it now: Is the Alpine head unit that comes in a 2000 Viper GTS (Stock, with CD player) preamped, or not preamped? I'm simply trying to determine if I need a high-level to low-level convertor. I recently purchased a 2000 GTS - I introduced myself in...

    Radio?

    I wonder whatever happened to this... I have reason to suspect the harness adapter didn't work. I haven't been able to find squat. Jeff
