Explaining Viper things to you
Woodhouse mounts... DONE :2tu:

Side exhaust... GOING GREAT :cool:

Am I the only one working on my car right now? :dunno:

I pulled out the backup Viper today though. Four cylinders, 93 octane, 9 mpg. And louder than any V10.

WAY BAD in surgery...

It's getting hot in FL also. Your not the only one working on your car. I just took out my tranny for a rebuild. While I'm there I am replacing the clutch, flywheel, and mounts. Ahhh isn't this fun :2tu:

Can't wait to get 'er done :drive:

Well, I just had Woodhouse Poly Engine Mounts installed.

Otherwise, I've got an X-Metal Throttle Body sitting here. Still debating whether or not I'm going to install it or sell it.:dunno:

Also attempted my own smooth-tube install yesterday, but the silicone tube turned out to be about 1.5" too short. Gotta shop around some more...

As for Summer - I h-a-t-e working on cars in the Summer heat and humidity!:nono:
Either do it now (Spring), or wait until Fall.;)

I drive.:drive:

Top down is the only mod I do.:D

I would hate having the car sitting in the garage after the long winter.


P.S.: have to admit that I got new PS2's and StarTech suspension recently and that the cars speed during corners makes me feel WOOOOOW...
I do hope nothing else will break due to the very high cornering forces!

Hmm, so let me get this right. 100 degrees is hot right? Wow I wish that it would only get 100 degrees down here in the summer, that would be a nice cool day. I really need to get out of this country

Yes, I was fully prepared that all the thrashing us folks in the warmer climates give you folks in the colder climates, would be returned. Until what, August, when you'll have ice and salt on the roads again? :dunno:

:lmao:

Dave, the way your Viper is perched up on the stands, it looks scary - be careful not to bump it!

Scary?

Two brand name (no Damn Yankee approved Harbor Freight stands:D) stands placed on flat even solid concrete centered on the frame.

Front wheels supported at road stance width on custom wheel stands I made.

Very solid.
