New Viper Owner

[digger782]

Hi Just got my first cobra (Viper), and am very pleased to find I am not on my own!!
I am finding one or two things I need to alter,

1 The driving position is crampt for the size of car, the seat will not go back as are on the bar across the floor (I am 6ft and 18 stone, I like lots of beer).

2 Clutch is very heavy (short travel) and sliping (new clutch fitted)

3 4 speed gearbox (find a gear sometime)

I am very pleased with the car otherwise, new respray, V8, full MOT.

I will need to change the interior but hope to have fun this summer before spending more money on it

Hi

There is a company that makes seats specifically for the Viper (due to the shape of the chassis that cuts across a corner). If you need more details let me know.

Cheers

Hi mate

Welcome to the Viper fraternity.
First thing I'd say is don't be afraid to ask any questions.
Someone on here has probably done what you want before.

Mine is still a work in progress (minimal at the mo due to work commitments) but when i get to it it will soon get there.

Where abouts are you??

Cheers

Small world innit! -My grandfather, God rest his soul, used to own the bicycle shop in the village. Only been there once myself but I gather that when that massive bridge was built it changed the village for good.
