    New carbon fiber background hides text

    That's funny! Who said you don't have a sense of humor? :rolaugh: Here are a couple: http://forums.viperclub.org/vca-members-only/ ...scroll to bottom of page, look for text "New posts" "Hot thread with new posts" etc. It's light gray text that is almost invisible. Also, look for "The time...

    New carbon fiber background hides text

    Don -- it looks good, but it's also affecting text at the bottom of the forums listings, where the icon keys show (not) what the icons mean. I've found the problem in several places.

    Web Store?

    Freshly back from the President's meeting, I can clarify part of this. Washington and Northern California were 2 of a few Regions using a particular company for our regional web-stores. They all went away at the same time, and I'm still not exactly sure why, because our National officers...

    New mods to my car

    Good grief! You guys are trying to permanently relegate me to last place on dyno day, aren't you? :omg: Well go for it! I'll be sneaking up your pipes before you know it! :rolleyes: BTW - Rich, if you do decide to go for new brakes, I may have found the proverbial needle in the hay...

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    My Wilwood set is older - I have GN III's on the front, and LC-GT's on the rear, and the PV is a Wilwood unit. The Wilwood engineers had to get out an older catalog to identify the calipers. Says a lot for their quality, though! While mine doesn't have the marking yours do, it appears to be a...

    3.07 gear vs 3.33/3.55/3.73 weight differance

    That's right. I haven't done anything to my engine besides air filters and exhaust. My latest dyno sheet says I'm at 445 rwhp. So, I've been dusted on the straights by some C6 Z06's, Porsche Turbos, ...even a Mercedes SLK 63 AMG twin turbo with 1000 factory horsepower. There is so much...

    3.07 gear vs 3.33/3.55/3.73 weight differance

    Well, and someone should remind you that changing your gear ratio will have a heck-of-a-lot more impact on the performance characteristics of your car than the 10 or 20 pounds. When I changed from 3.07 to 3.55, everything changed. I dropped 20 mph from the top of 4th gear, so now I row all...

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    The pads you are using will greatly determine how much squeak and squeal you get. The rotors, too, but to a lessor degree. And most pads will quiet down somewhat after they've been bedded in. Pads come in two basic types: street (quiet), and track (noisy). There are a few that claim to...

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    I have a full Wilwood setup, and I've just spent a week talking to Wilwood and Porterfield, but that's another story. Anyway, the Wilwood guys told me that their PV will flow full pressure to the rear brakes when it is backed all the way out, and only cuts down to 65% pressure when it is...

    Interest in shipping car to Voi11

    We have used Reliable Transport in the past, with very good feedback from members. However, I believe that this year we are using FedEx, and with much reduced rates. The rates are also one-way, so you can purchase one-way or round-trip. More detailed (and possibly more accurate) info should...

    Viper Owner Invitational #11 - BE THERE!

    If you have already registered, you should be fine. I think what expires on 8/1 is the pricing, not the ability to register. I would suggest an e mail blast reminding everyone of the price hike, and recommending on-line registration at the VOI website.

    Interest in shipping car to Voi11

    We are going to have a planning meeting on this pretty soon, so that could yield many more interested people. Stay tuned for an announcement.

    2010 Auto-Cross Series

    ....and now we have video! Check here for video of 6 of the drivers. Multiple runs for some. The "low" resolution videos take about 6-8 minutes each to download at my house, and the "medium" resolution vids take 12-15 minutes each. So, if you're downloading the "medium" files, start the...

    Need Trailer Purchase Advice

    Thanks everyone! These comments are just great! Exactly what I was hoping for. I'm getting a little smarter on this whole trailer thing, and the smarter I'm getting, the farther I'm pushing it out. When I bought my Viper ('99 purchased in '01), I spent 2 years looking for an all-black car...

    4th ofJuly Parade in Bothell!!!

    I finally managed to get some pics to post from the parade. It's not a lot, but check it out here. That was a cold and rainy day, as I recall, and the photos look like they were taken just before the rain hit.

    13th annual WA VCA BBQ & Pot Luck

    Thanks Paul and Barbara for another wonderful BBQ! It was a very nice, laid-back food fest! :eater::beer: Besides eating enough to last me a week, I did manage to take a few photos. I know there were some other folks shooting pics too, so maybe some of those will make their way to me for...

    2010 Auto-Cross Series

    At long last, we have the much awaited results from our 7/10/2010 Auto-Cross event. We had 13 drivers show up, and tested out a new course, and new spotter rotation. A good time was had by all! As always, the pictures are here, and videos will follow. But for now, here are the class winners...

    Need Trailer Purchase Advice

    OK, so I'm about to pull the trigger on a trailer purchase to carry my beast from venue to venue. I've narrowed it down to two over-priced options that are local, while I'm green with envy over the trailer options and pricing available on the East coast and deep South that can't seem to make it...

    Woodhouse poly motor mounts ??

    I just checked, and I've got over 3,000 miles since changing the mounts, and it's still a problem. If you click on this link to a recent auto-cross, you can see the vibration both when I'm idling at a stop in the start box, and especially when I let out the clutch or accelerate hard. The...

    Woodhouse poly motor mounts ??

    I'm beginning to wonder if that's what happened to me!?! I had a Viper Tech install the Woodhouse hi-durometer engine and tranny mounts, and now my car vibrates so bad, I can't get any usable video, even with a stabilized camera and solid mounts. I mean, I swear that I can feel every single...

    Olympia Air Show gathering

    Thanks Brian - I was worried that my crusty 10-year old camera wouldn't keep up with those jets, but I got a couple of snaps of the flying Viper. I can't wait until I get the video put together! I hope to have it on the web site by the end of the week. Oh, and if anyone is interested, I...

    Olympia Air Show gathering

    Thanks Brian, for a great show! Posted some pics here. I've got some good video to post too, but it'll take a couple of days to process and load. Stay tuned... Steve
