Happy Holidays to you all!
New year, new price. Price dropped to $65,000. That is my bottom dollar. Car will go back to stock in a month or so.
Some have requested additional interior pictures, sorry for the noisy cellphone quality!
Next owner will have even further piece of mind, the car is getting a completely refreshed TR6060. I drove a new gen 5 last week and it really showed me that my trans is not as buttery smooth as it was when I took delivery of the car. I also had been noticing from time to time that I would get a slight grind in 3rd and 4th gear at random. Because of the inconsistency and rareness of the issue, I initially chalked it up to boiled clutch fluid (very common in these cars). But after Viper Exchange went through all the fluids a week ago (getting the car ready for sale), I unfortunately still felt some reluctance from the 4th gear synchro. I would never want to purchase anyone else's problems, so I sure as hell am not going to pass this off on the next guy. I want the next owner to get as perfect of a car as I can reasonably deliver--its what I expect from others (as naive as that may be).
Talking to Andy and Morgan they were pretty sure the blocker ring pads (being plastic and 9 years old) had worn away, and were causing the engagement issues. So we pulled the trans, disassembled, and inspected everything. I told them to replace anything and everything that had signs of wear. We found the blocker pads had indeed been destroyed on 2nd-4th, and as such, caused wear on the gear set and synchros. We also saw slight wear on the the input shaft. The list of replacement parts is as follows;
Decided might as well make lemonade out of lemons, and if I'm going to be in it for a few grand I need to feel like I at least did something to make the car faster! So we did the .80 5th gear out of the ACR. Should make the car a beast on the top end, and perfect for 1/2 mile runs.
