small blog of vipers car... many pics inside..

ok..well, i finally got around to transferring all my pics onto 1 computer.. so ill make a little story line of my car since i got it

first set......
pic #1 is the day my friend bought the car 6 years ago

pic #2 this is how i bought the car.... it had a blown motor, and my friend got tired of working on it (he now has an rx8)

pics 3-5 are after having it 2 months (got a junkyard motor in it, and had it running again for under $200) (ran great until the turbo swap too)



note, please dont post till all the pics are up.. there will be 6 posts of pics, then post away thanx

thanx everyone... its come along way since ive owned it..... and the tach is definently contravercial, but i need it! my 8k rpm tach is too low, my new redline will be between 8500-9k ... so i need a 10k tach..... ill probubly be placing it in a less "ricer" location.... i was thinking about getting a smaller one, and grafting it into the stock tack location... we'll see

So did you decide to take the graphics off? Because it looks a lot better without the graphics and white wheels. The black wheels give it a good look. Good work, that car went through some major changes.

Vipers, I belive your tach is an 8k tach. that was the whole reason for the new tach... that and your OEM one does not work anymore.

Well...if there is a purpose for the tach then right on. If you are running a new turbo motor soon you probably wont need that tach. Factory will do fine.
