What did you do to your car today?

[outnumbered]

We had a similar thread over on the Viper Truck forum that turned out to be one of the most popular threads on the site. It covered everything from subtle changes to major modifications. I thought I would start it here to see where it goes.

I ordered new Lloyd floor mats--silver on graphite:

[Fatboy 18]

One Handed, Jacked up the car, Undone Rear wheel nuts, Removed rear wheel, removed rear caliper and removed rear Disc.

All with my left hand only, as I have broken my right shoulder and my arm is in a sling. I was rather pleased with myself :D

Turns out the replacement brake rotors i ordered from the USA are the wrong size :(


BTW, Great looking floor mats

[BlknBlu]

i looked at them, they are in hibernation.

Just back from the holidays and took my Viper out this morning, for a 100 mile fast run up and down I95 to shake out the cobwebs, after a 5 week rest in the garage. Florida roads (and traffic) are awesome compared to back home...

[Dusty1]

Went for a nice drive to pick up a Birthday Card for Beth, great to live in the South, at least at this time of year!

[Torquemonster06]

I went out in the shop, sat in the Hulk, made some Vroom Vroom noises, got out, wiped of a piece of dust, cause OCD, looked back at it one more time and then back in the house. :( I hate the rainy weather this time of year. Enjoy your cars all you sunny weather people. LOL

[Exhlr8n]

I put a fire extinguisher in for the Buttonwillow track event coming up in a few weeks..!

[Fatboy 18]

I put a fire extinguisher in for the Buttonwillow track event coming up in a few weeks..!

What type of extinguisher, small hand held in front of passenger seat or plumbed in racing type?

[Rocket]

Oh ... how I miss the Midwest - LOL. It was kind of chilly today in Phoenix, so had to drive with the windows up, and heat on .... of course with the top down!!!

[Late Apex]

Kind of ignored it since there is no track day today.......

[outnumbered]

Ok guys, the thread is intended to be an ongoing series of posts showing what MODS you have made ;)

[LifeIsGood]

Is it for GEN V's only since it's in the GEN V forum?

[outnumbered]

Absolutely not....didn't realize I did that.

[Fatboy 18]

I thought I made a mistake posting in the Gen V section. ;)

Coming from the Viper truck site, I'm not accustomed to having dedicated " Gen" forums

[Eco-Friendly]

I ordered the crankshaft pin tool from Roe Racing today.

[Exhlr8n]

Fat Boy 18:

It was just the small bolt in type, that goes in front of passenger seat. (not a serious Mod, took 3 whole minutes)

[Fatboy 18]

Got it, thanks :)

[GBS]

Yesterday I did an oil change and washed my 2002 ACR. Other than pulling it out of the garage to wash it, I never even had time to take it for a drive.

[Photog1]

I went out in the garage and told them it was snowing. They were sad.

[Herrsss]

Drove her to work today!

[V1P3R]

I've been able to look at it 3 times since October! At least it is in a heated garage.

[The_Greg]

Hmm, I haven't seen mine since November and it's not in a heated garage :(

Storage sucks. Winter sucks. Salt sucks.

[bayviper]

Installed a fire extinguisher and a tow hook :)

Greg, I say we do something about this crap! No, not move,...I'm thinking bigger than that!!! Probably include some physics, atmospheric testing, and that's all I can say!

[Eachey51]

Lots of tire smoke and no cats is said to help the snow go away! :)

[CC39]

Got the snowblower out and cleared a path down to the barn so that I can visit it…love Michigan winters

[outnumbered]

Excellent, the thread lives!

Putting on a coat of Swissvax opaque matte wax. At $80 for 50ml, each wax job is costing me about $27!

[The_Greg]

Hah, when they were getting ready to test the first nuclear bomb, they ran calculations to make sure it (probably) wouldn't set the entire atmosphere on fire. So since the equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT didn't change the weather much, it would take a monumental effort to impact the atmosphere!

So, moving would be far simpler LOL.

[SuperBird4404BBL]

Just looked at it under the cover. It was 4 here today.:furious:

[V1P3R]

True, but not near as fun!!

[LifeIsGood]

I finally installed my IPSCO (http://www.ipsco.org/) billet pulleys...

Viper Billet Pulleys (http://www.ipsco.org/Viper_files/Viper%20billet%20Pulleys.htm)

[Red Kaos]

I ran a 60 mile road rally today; had a great time. I was the only Viper; it was very corvette-centric.

[outnumbered]

My new Lloyd mats arrived. I put them in the trunk, ready for the next car show.

Those look nice.

[Torquemonster06]

I installed the GREEN LED's the wife got me for X-MAS

[swexlin]

I put 18 miles on her yesterday, and then spent an hour+ in the garage with waterless wash getting some of the salt off her. First time she had been out in 6 weeks, and TOTALLY worth it!

[2010.Blue.White.ACR]

Changed the oil for the first time. 796 on the odometer

[SilveRT8]

Just looked at it ......on the lift, it's 6F outside and snowing !

[FLATOUT]

Drove my Gen 1 (1992) then hopped in my TA and went to dinner.

[FrgMstr]

We have had a "What did you do to your car today?" thread running in our private forum now since 12/2011. 4,800 replies, 78,000 views. You guys have to beat that easily! :)

I pulled my side sills getting ready to pull the exhaust and change it out for Texas Mile.

[triblk6spd]

Called a meeting at my house this morning and we all cruised to the Austin Cars & Coffee.

Nice!

[yellowmz3]

All of you guys WITHOUT the white suff falling are killing me!!

[MalingatorGTS]

Going on almost over 4 feet of snow in 3 weeks, I went in the garage and looked for something to detail,clean, change...that lasted about 15 minutes and went back in the house depressed. Spring is when again?

[gerch85]

All of you guys WITHOUT the white suff falling are killing me!!

Amen brother... lol

[Nemesis]

Nothing, haven't even seen either of them. The TA is freezing her ass off at the track in my garage there, and my GTS is hiding in my garage here but I haven't taken a peak in.

[BLUETA#1]

In anticipation of my car arriving sometime soon, I ordered: MCS suspension, tow hook, PCM, steel brake lines, belts (2 sides), wheels/slicks and Endless brake fluid.

[outnumbered]

Hopefully I can get them installed this week.

[BankerJohn]

Looked at the cars,looked at the snow, suffering from depression………But installed new sculptured mats (including trunk) from JonB in the Stryker Green "14………….feeling better now!!

[swexlin]

Hopefully I can get them installed this week.

Nice, but your 5-spokes look fantastic as well. Tough call there.

[outnumbered]

There are times I like the 5 spokes, and times I want the Sidewinders. I am undecided, so I somewhat rely on the opinion of others. Everyone I have shown a side by side comparison, hands down pic the sidewinders. If I'm not feeling it, I can always sell them. The 5 spokes aren't going anywhere.

[viperdriver5150]

I went out and ran it in the garage (door open of course) for around 35 min. I haven't driven the car any further than the hauler it was delivered in to the garage back in December. The car has never been on the open road but I spent plenty of time going through the different screen and gauge options. Wonderful setup, very much like my Dart, just way more goodies.

I know, many things much like my Dart as well (a car I like!). Like you, my car has only been out of the garage once since December 27, and that was a month ago. However, I just keep her in hibernation mode. Hoping next weekend the roads will be clear enough to come out.

[FSTENUF]

GETTING THE LAST OF MY WINTER VIPER TO DO LIST COMPLETED TODAY. STOP TECH ROTORS WITH SS BRAKE LINES THANKS JON B AND RBF 600 FLUID. OH AND THE ARROW PCM INSTALLED. GO FAST STOP FASTER :dude3: CAN'T WAIT TILL THURSDAY TO BUST IT LOSE ON THE OPEN ROAD.

Me too. Just ordered the same mats for my incoming TA 2.0. Unfortunately Maurice doesn't sell the real nice ones, too bad. Also drove my 08 Vert to work yesterday. Around 80 degrees in Denver yesterday, nice.

[Victxv10]

Installed TA spoiler Sunday, removing the tape and taking out for drive later today.

[Scott Mannny]

^^^^^^^^^^

Are you bringing the 2.0 to Hastings!!!

[ViperGeorge]

^^^^^^^^^^

Are you bringing the 2.0 to Hastings!!!

Scott,

I hope to bring it to Hastings. My first course of business is to get Mark at Woodhouse to add headers, Arrow controller, belts, shift light, catch can, and some other misc. stuff. Second order of business is to run it in the Cannonball One Lap of America. Then Hastings. Of course the car has to get built first. It does take a long time to get a hand built car. I can't even remember how long its been since it was ordered but seems like forever at this point. Good news is that some folks on here have started to take delivery of TAs so maybe mine will come soon too.

Do they still have the One Lap of America? I ran it back in the 80's with 2 great friends. It was called the Sea to Shining Sea race.

[Bruce H.]

I contacted a driving coach for mine today so it hopefully won't have to endure the shame of being spanked by a Z06 this summer :)

[cashcorn]

there is a shift light on the genV dash. i don't know if it can be raised with hptune though? ^^ sounds like fun!

[MalingatorGTS]

My project from the other day. Still can't take the car out with all the salt and puddles of crap on the roads.
