    Got ticket for tinted window

    Did some research, as Urhuckleberry mentioned (thanks for being good cop) in CA we cannot have any shade attached to driver and passenger side windows, so cop does not need to measure how dark window tint is, hence whatever BS you heard from tint shop that 75% shading legal in reality BS. If cop...

    Got ticket for tinted window

    Didn't mean to stir up so much commotion on the forum, but I think the tinted windows is a painful topic for lots of us. Let me make it clear, I put the tinted windows on the car for two reasons, it looks good and it protects me from direct sun, especially with Viper visor which you can't move...

    Got ticket for tinted window

    Some bored cop decided to make my life little less enjoyable today by issuing me a ticket for tinted windows and now front plate. I see sooooo many cars with the front tinted windows, regulart Hondas and Toyotas, but no he had to pick out Viper to make a little money on me. Seriously, I can't...

    Had a front bumper and hood painted, during the process front Viper logo was removed and now needs to be re-attached. How do I measure proper place on the bumper to put label in the right spot?

    Insurance response to my smoked Viper, outraged!

    Yes, ozone treatment is what I hear necessary, however, there is a possible downside to it, same cleaning companies saying that ozone is not so good on leather. Ozone hardens leather which leads to premature wear and tear in the not so distant future.

    Won't go into 3rd under hard acceleration- HELP Please

    I have the same issue, I installed polyurfn tranny mount and it didn't help much, I hear that I need to install engine poly mounts to make this issue go away. However, for now when I am at race track I am taking it a little slower to change from 4th to 3rd gear to avoid any damage.

    Insurance response to my smoked Viper, outraged!

    Thank you! I am with you on all the points, the difficult part for me right now is to find "top notch" restoration shop. I've been looking on the internet and could not find anything in San Francisco area. The regular after fire cleaning companies are favor to do the simple cleaning work and...

    Insurance response to my smoked Viper, outraged!

    This morning insurance adjuster sends me PDF file with the description of the work and all he lists is a good cleaning worth of $500 (which is my deductible), that is it! This is Wawaneesa insurance, who are supposed to be good, but its all comes to this independent adjuster who thinks that...

    Viper got smoked (literally) Need help!

    Yes, and on top of the fabric I started thinking about all the gaps in the dashboard, vents, etc? Dam, I really need to find a really good specialist here in the SF Bay Area to guide me through this process.

    Viper got smoked (literally) Need help!

    Yeah, I realize that it sounds funny now but, when my neighbor called me screaming that my house is on fire the first question I asked if garage is intact or not. I must be crazy but I love this car and I think it looks and performs like nothing else on earth.

    Viper got smoked (literally) Need help!

    Yep, don't think insurance will go for a total unless I back it up with some hard proof from the specialists that the cost of removing smoke will be substantial. What do you guys think, what kind of specialists do I need to look for to get real independent appraisal on this thing :dunno:? I...

    Viper got smoked (literally) Need help!

    I talked to those professional cleaner guys, and some of them saying that yes car need to be stripped down and washed to the bones to eliminate all the smell to make sure that it does not come back in three or 6 or 12 months. However, if that is the case I need to prove it to the adjuster by...

    Engine mounts, will they help with 4th to 3rd problem?

    Mark how do I determine if it is "syncro problem"? Car shifts ok under normal street driving. However, on a racetrack I have to be really, really precise and do slow downshift from 4th to 3rd, otherwise it just will not go in. Also, what should the cost of engine mounts install run for?

    Engine mounts, will they help with 4th to 3rd problem?

    I have poly trany mount with the short MGW shifter, however, I still have problems when tranny shifting from 4th to 3rd specially on a hot tranny under race track stress. So my question is will the engine mounts help my 4th to 3rd gear problem? Oh and yes, I have changed clutch, clutch fluid...

    Pilot Sport Cups, Side Sill Protection, and Paint Protection Spray

    Mark, so what mileage are we talking about than? Above people stated they got 9K kilometers on the tires that is like 5.5K miles. Is 6K miles more likely to get out of cups with street and few times a year track events?

    Pilot Sport Cups, Side Sill Protection, and Paint Protection Spray

    I would suggest to put a clear mask protection, that is what I plan to do. Another question though, does ACR comes with cups out of factory? How long these tires last on the street use, how many miles people can put on them?

    What are my tire choices for the track?

    3K miles, hm not bad. Not a daily driver tires, but certainly better than what I heard from Hoosier.

    What are my tire choices for the track?

    Looks like Cups provide best of both worlds. What is the normal life span for the Cups in terms of track sessions? They seem to have enough groove to be driven on the street as well, am I wrong?
