Winter Improvements

What have people been doing to their Vipers over the Winter?

Installed 3:55 gears in the fall before putting 10PISTNZ to bed
Over the following months I aquired parts for installation when it gets a bit warmer
S.S. Braided brake lines
New Michelin PS2
Spark Plug wires
Spark Plugs
Cruise control
Change all fluids
Motor mounts

Would like to hear from others

I'll pile on as well, nothing major and I'm not in the Ontario club but since another NJ member paved the way...

-cat delete
-B&B exhaust
-HS 1.7 RR's
-SCT tune
-new side sills (took the car back to rear exhaust from a side exhaust conversion)

All work done by Tators....considering an N/A build for next year, but as denniskgb said I'm turning it into a money pit....

I have to add that I put the car on the road yesterday. I couldn't wait any longer.

[Garron]

Maybe you should, At VOI it was very dirty with all that "rain water" on it

 

[JAY]

You should wash it , that could be worth a 1/10 tenth of a second in the quarter mile ..........lol !

Hey! Don't you start trash talking about the rain! It took MONTHS for the nightmares to stop!! I still have a twitch from the thought of my car actually being in rain. It was protected for 12 YEARS!!! Had never seen rain. Then the skies of hell needed to open up......


My blood pressure is up again...... I must go.......need to find my meds the psychiatrist prescribed!





And yes Jay, I washed. And washed. And washed. The filth was everywhere. It took about 12 hours to fully clean it again.

It was in the rain before that too...

 

[Mopar Boy]

Yes it was. And the track was filthy too!!

BTW, destroy those pics please. We don't need proof!

It was in the rain before that too...

First off, this is a Canadian thread. So go away!

Secondly, no it was never driven in the rain before that!

 

[slitherv10]

I knew there was something odd about that car. Now I know. It used to be blue and white and the rain washed the color away and " TATAAA !!!, there you have it. That is why its slow. It was a yellow viper all along.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Har har har......

 

[10PISTNZ]

Stereo change complete. New sound is awesome. yea I know the exhaust too
Kenwood Excelon 997 with Focal speakers and tweeters.

Ready to cruise the countyside.

 

[JAY]

Motor mounts next , wish me luck......lol !

 

[Garron]

Motor mounts next , wish me luck......lol !

You don't need luck to install the mounts. You just need a big bar so you can get the locating dowel in place without grinding anything

 

[JAY]

Thanks Garrett ! See you on Thursday !

At least the engine is lighter than the cummins with same mounts! Then it requires a lot more than just a bar! LOL

 

[JAY]

Holy Cow Mopar Boy ! You are ********* ! Woodhouse mounts in a Dodge Cummins Diesil !

 

[Mopar Boy]

That's why I can no longer ID vehicles behind me at idle anymore. There is about 0% flex in my mounts now. All vehicles are just a vibrating blur!

I have been told I can rattle kidneys now.

Is this the red truck

 

[Mopar Boy]

No. The silver one. The one running the C series Cummins turbo. The "stock" daily driver with the 24 speed stick.

 

[JAY]

That's a lot of rowing !
