    New owner from NC checking in 2000 RT 10

    Hi all,

    After wanting a Gen 2 Viper since I was a child I am thrilled to finally become an owner. After looking for the last 8-12 months I pulled the trigger on an extremely clean and well documented 2000 RT/10 that popped up only 2 hours away.

    Details:
    * 2000 RT/10 in Black
    * 16,500 miles
    * Eibach Springs, Borla Catback, Gen 5 wheels & Michelin PSS (date coded 2017)

    The previous owner(s) kept almost all receipts since new, even for their gas.

    Question for you guys...

    In 2017 @ 15,050 miles the previous owner had a lot of work done to the car including:

    Transmission fluid, Clutch fluid, Coolant flush, Brake fluid, Multi-function switch replacement, Window regulators, Eibach springs, Gen 5 wheels (ordered new) & Michelin PSS tires, Alignment, and general chassis "lube".


    I don't have receipts for Diff fluid, spark plugs, plug wires, or anything else recent, so those are on my to-do list. I posted on the facebook groups and received suggestions to do motor & trans mounts, end links & bushings, power steering pulley, Coolant flush (due to age), brake pads & rotors (they are in great shape but original).

    Anything else?

    EDIT: Had the coolant & differential fluid changed. Ordered Champion plugs, Scott plug wires. Checked out my suspension, nothing immediately needing fixed but will plan on end links, sway bar bushings, & engines/trans mounts soon.

    Thanks! I really like all Gen 5 wheels on Gen 1/2 cars. I would have ended up with these or the Sidewinders if my car came with the stock 18's.
