Dave C. has given me the green light for a tech day.

Date: This Sunday, June 8th
Time: 10 am - 2:00
Place: Electronic Balancing Co. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=660+east+D+street,++Wilmington+++CA++90744&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.133422,66.621094&ie=UTF8&ll=33.775188,-118.260226&spn=0.033924,0.06506&z=15&iwloc=addr)
         660 east D street
         Wilmington   CA  90744

Subject:
E-brake cable relocation on 2003 - 2006   SRT-10's
For those wishing to run 18" wheels in the rear (i.e. track wheels) the E-brake cable needs to be moved in order to accommodate the smaller wheel diameter.

We will be doing the mod to Art's famous orange SRT-10.

Dan Everts will also be on hand to supervise and give pointers.

While this is specific to the Gen 3 vipers, ALL vipers are welcome to attend. 
Lot's of secure parking, lunch and drinks will be provided.

Dave will be bringing some of the brackets up with him and will be offering them to those who attend for a special price of $75.00   (normally $100.00)

Please respond here if you are planning on attending.

Thanks,
Lance

Hey Guys,

This minor change will not adversely affect your E-brake operation.  It will function as it does now after this minor mod.  I have done it to both of my SRT-10s. 

E-brake relocation will allow you to run sticky tires or drag radials for those times you want to drag, road race or autocross your car.  Don't let the Corvette guys beat up on you.  The ability to run 18-inch rear tires gives you a much better (and less expensive) selection of tires too.

Combine this with a car lowering suspension like Motons or Penskes and you will feel how much better your car handles the "twisties".

Hope to see a few folks there.

PS  Watch out fast Eddie, Art's gonna get you!

Hey Dan,

I have a new track junkie part >g >g >v I'll bring it with me  <2

OGO AKA Big Brake Dave  >v

OGO  O ,

Cool, bring it.

Got an old set of valve covers coming for my GTS.  Kevin is supplying the breathers for each.  Should help with the oil puking under heavy braking.

Pulled 1.35 G's at Buttonwillow last time in several turns.  Not bad for Toyos and a rookie driver.

OGO, Since you were on Supervisor duty, I had to make sure I supervised not only you, but the workforce that you were overseeing too!  Let me tell you that was a hard job, I believe Cathy took picutres of me hard at work while all the others loafed around  HappyBounce  My position as head of management was solidified at Eddie's fire station, when Eddie let me sit in the Captain's chair and activate the horn and sirens on the Fire Engine.

Eddie, The ride was awesome thanks for the experience of a lifetime. >t

What do you guys think about planning and promoting another one of these?

It could be a "Do it yourself" clinic where we show the group a few simple things Viper owners can do on their cars.  Perhaps oil changes, spark plug changes, brake pad changes, E brake relocation, etc.

The club would buy lunch.

Your input would be helpful.

Hey Guys,

I put this into another post, but what do you think about holding a "Do it yourself Day" for all Viper owners?  We could plan and promote the event.

We could do an oil change, check tires (talk about tire treadwear ratings, etc.), change / check brakes, bleed brakes, check other fluids, Gen III E brake relocation (any volunteers?), etc.

Could be fun and productive.

The club would buy lunch.

Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan  <2

Dan,

I think that's a great idea.  As you and OGO suggested, I need to get new rotors and pads before Viper Days, so I can volunteer my car for those items and as an added bonus I can throw in my Supervisory skills  >w 

Of course, Mr. Kouchi would have to let us know if we can be accommodated at his great shop.  Pretty please Lance.

 >g

OGO would bring his scales & new race ramps >m plus all my track tricks and required track items and service items. >g That's over 20 years at the track >v

Mid Ohio, Sears Point, Firebird, Holtville, Charlotte. Phoenix,LaGuna Seca, Darlington,Atlanta, Vegas, Button Willow, Willow Springs my home track 1:34.22(in a Mustang >g

This will be a must event for any DIY'ers >v

OGO has spoken  <2  O O O

Haven't checked the calendar yet, but a "pre Viper Days" tech and driver's meeting could be fun.

Comments?

I think it is a great idea and know that there are a bunch of owners that would love to attend this type of a venue.
Schedule permitting, my place is an obvious option.  Just let me know.

I'd be VERY interested in this!!

Great idea Dan!
