    Passenger window rolls down too much?

    I just went through this exact thing on my '98 GTS. There's a little metal clip that holds the male stud onto the female white plastic piece. Take your door face off (the inside) and reach into the door cavity. There's no place for it to escape, so you WILL find the little metal clip. If...

    Can someone explain a VEC2

    Hey ghayes420, are you a doper? What's with bringing 420 to the forum??

    Honest answers please and maybe some help.....

    Keep the car up for sale and tell him to keep his deposit. When he's ready to hop on a plane, take his thousand bucks as a deposit and hold it for him. A month is an awful long time to hold a car for him. Keep trying to sell it until he's closer to being ready to fly down and take a look. I...

    New dyno numbers with spray

    Are those really good numbers? I was thinking that a stock GTS is 450 hp/motor and maybe 400 hp@wheels. So a 200hp shot of nitrous ought to produce a solid 600 hp at the wheels. And with all the mods on intake, exhause, Vec, etc, I would expect to see well over 600 hp.... Tell me where I'm...

    I'm building a model and need paint?Don't want the touch up bottle.

    Re: I\'m building a model and need paint?Don\'t want the touch up bottle. Check your dodge dealer. I called to order touch-up paint and they asked if I wanted the brush-on or a spray can. So apparently they make cans of spray paint in factory colors.

    Re: 20\'s fully chromed (HREs) - pics of course! That is the absolute BEST license plate I have ever seen! How true it is. I'm gonna race down and see if it's available in Oregon. Oh yeah, nice wheels too!

    My Battery is dead ! What to buy? Are Optimas worth it? and do they fit ?

    Re: My Battery is dead ! What to buy? Are Optimas worth it? and do they fit Make sure it's a type 78 and go with it! Just make sure to get the sealed type. I made the mistake once of settling on a battery in which you could add water - BIG MISTAKE. After some spirited driving and a few...

    VCA Member Shot By Deputy

    Warfang.....get a grip. If an officer turns and sees someone pointing a gun at him, he IS going to shoot - I guarantee it. We don't know whether he had time to anounce 'police' before shooting. NO, it's not a requirement to announce. Most agency's policies state that you shall announce...

    VCA Member Shot By Deputy

    "He had every right to protect his property" ???? What world are you living in? You can't use deadly force to protect property! I don't care what possession it is - unless someone's life is in jeopardy, you can't shoot. Look at it from the officer's point of view. He was in pursuit of a...

    Quick vid of my viper and r1

    Nice job with the video. Took about 10 minutes to download though. I would have liked it more if there was more VIPER and less R1 AND.......if you guys were somewhere more remote where nobody's life was endangered but yours. Damn good job on the video nonetheless.

    Chrome intake tubes needed for nitrous install

    I did check the classifieds and the only ones left for sale are from a vendor. Sorry but unlike some of our members, I can't just run out and buy whatever appeals to me. It's also quite apparent to me that those items sold by the viperstore are a little overpriced. Kinda' like tow hooks -...

    Chrome intake tubes needed for nitrous install

    I thought I'd post and see if anyone had a set of chrome intake tubes lying around. I'm ready to install my NX nitrous system and need a firm platform for the jets. Surely one of you guys has a set that's been on your shelf for a few years... And if interested, could work a trade since I...

    Hardtop trouble...need advice

    Or..........just drill to the next larger size and tap a larger bolt size into the hard top. You might want to research what size bolts will fit your application. I've never tried heli-coil myself. You can buy a tap/die set at most any hardware store, parts store, SEARS, etc. Or just buy a...

    Waterproofing a VEC2 ? it finally happened to me

    I just installed mine and the literature recommends putting the Vec 2 in a ziplock baggy when washing car. That's why it is VELCROED to the car......for easy removal during wash jobs. Anyone had trouble with the Vec 2 getting wet while driving in wet conditions? Now that would make me want...

    Two Newbie questions....help appreciated

    I haven't heard of anyone replacing their power steering bracket with a billet one. Haven't even seen them for sale. As for the clutch, like Bonkers said - no need for replacement yet. Wait until someday (winter) you can swap clutches and flywheels at the same time! Post pics!

    stock rear muffler... any one have one they dont need ?????

    I'll have one off my '98 GTS tomorrow (hopefully). I was supposed to have my RandomTech cats today and have an appointment for tomorrow for complete exhaust swap. No cats showed up today. At any rate, I'll have the rear muffler and tips VERY soon if you need them. Enough $$$ for a few beers...

    Need front left frame section for GTS!!

    I'm on waiting lists with X2 and Paul Scharf, but anyone else have a front frame section for a '98 GTS? I'd like to have the entire front, but would settle for a straight front LEFT only. Thanks,

    Tips/Tricks to Change Spark Plugs

    After taking off A/C airbox, I had no problems whatsoever getting all 10 plugs out on the '98 GTS. Some needed an extension, some had to be removed w/o the extension. No prob...... Now getting the new plug WIRES into their little clips and organized neatly was a little more tricky.

    HELP - Positive batt post is stripped!!

    I think maybe I can tap into a power source elsewhere. TWINTURBO3150's right.......a lot of $$$ for just a bolt problem. Chuck HELP!!

    HELP - Positive batt post is stripped!!

    I tried to install the battery tender on my newly acquired '98 GTS last night. I wasn't able to remove the nut on the positive power post under the hood. When I apply force, the ENTIRE bolt/nut assembly rotates in place, not allowing me to take the nut off. :curse: So, it would do no good...

    Which spark plugs for NITROUS setup?

    I recognize the need for a 1 or 2 step colder plug. I'm about ready to install a wet 200 shot (NX)and was wondering what plugs you guys are using? Any other mods I might need to make? I'm already set up with the Vec 2 to control WOT and RPM window. Thanks,

    Anyone try LED bulbs for front/rear lights

    Not in the Viper, but I've tried LED's in my trucks signal lights. They weren't plug and play. I'm not an electrician, but there was some kind of relay or diode that had to be wired into the harness to make them flash. When the blinker turned on, the LED would just light up...

    Parts going up for sale: Gen II

    Why would only an idiot part out a wrecked car? I don't know if I'm supposed to be reading humor in that or not???? How else are we supposed to get replacement parts for our non-wrecked Vipers? I'd rather buy 'good as new' parts off your wrecked car than pay 10x that from Dodge.
