hello

[brap]

Back in the beggining of October I purchased a silver GTS. I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I traded up from a Lightning and haven't looked back since. I have to say this is the most beautiful car and one of the fastest things I've driven. So far all I have is Bellenger Headers, smooth tubes, Corsa full exhaust and cats, 2002 rims and 2002 radiator fan. Unfortunatley the motor started making a 'ticking' noise this weekend, so I'm taking it to the dealer to get checked out tomorrow, hopefully all is well.

Thanks for the info everyone! I am definetly going to look into the MD/VA VCA. Who is Tom Sessions .. I am going to assume he has some kind of Viper shop and does mods and what not? Where is he located?

Welcome to Viper Nation brap. You're gonna have a blast with your new ride!

The tapping noise was nothing to be worried about, the header gasket broke apparently and was rattling .. though I could have sworn on my life it was coming from one of the heads

Anyone know where I can get new header gaskets? I have the Bellanger headers

Welcome to the club, Just call your local dodge dealer and ask for parts department the part number is: 5245-194AB the metallic stock gaskets are much better than the cr@ppy belenger paper gaskets. They worked great for me, I've got the same headers (if yours are tri-Y).

Viper Wiz is the man to get some deals on parts and since tom is in your neck of the woods..can't get a better tech!

Nice color by the way. Lower that silver bullet! LOL!

ab .. your car is gorgeous. I like the lowered look, and actually now kind of wish I still had the '98 rims because they look pretty mean on your car How much is your Viper lowered?

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

brap, Tom Sessions is a very highly regarded Viper Tech in the Carolinas. But you also have the option of being 45 minutes away from Jason Heffner. Heffner Performance, Glen Burnie, Maryland. Do a search under his name here, you will be impressed. He is one of the top Viper tuners in the country.
