[QUOTE="paintless302, post: 15564206, member: 74264"] Thank you for all the kind words! Took delivery of the car last Friday, happiest day of my life :D I can't even put into words how much I love this new one. It took everything I loved about the previous 2 (the performance, looks, exclusivity, etc) and garnished it with a dose of refinement. I'll have a more in depth review for you guys when I have time to put pen to paper (can we say that anymore?). Taking delivery, and the first drive home; [video=youtube;I7QlaOnyt_M][MEDIA=youtube]I7QlaOnyt_M[/MEDIA][/video] All tucked into our garage; [ATTACH=full]707253[/ATTACH] Next morning I popped up like a kid on Christmas morning, eager to drive the car to my buddies place to bolt on some small goodies. [ATTACH=full]707254[/ATTACH] On the agenda; -K&N Drop-in -IPSCO Crank UDP -Dayco Belt -MGW Gripper Shift knob -Carbon plate frame [ATTACH=full]707255[/ATTACH] Did the shift knob first, easy peasy. The shifter on the TR6060 is absolutely perfect from the factory (and its further improved still, for the gen 5s). I do prefer shorter throws than the oem knob provides, so I tend to swap the handle. I always buy the same MGW unit as muscle memory dictates its shape/weight remain the same as in my previous snakes. [ATTACH=full]707256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]707257[/ATTACH] I wish there was an option to have it wrapped in leather instead of textured plastic, but in the Viper parts market (read: bare), you can't be too choosy. When you don't look at it from 4 inches away, it blends in and looks oem. [ATTACH=full]707258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]707259[/ATTACH] Carbon plate went on to replace the dealer offering as we waited on one of my buddies neighbors to come home (he had a torque wrench small enough to do the crank pulley bolts). Frame was simple, real hand-laid carbon, and matched the spoiler and diffuser perfectly. [ATTACH=full]707260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]707261[/ATTACH] Neighbor finally returned and we started on the pulley/belt swap. Really easy job, airbox comes out after two thumb screws and the rest is just back breaking acrobatics wrestling the pulley and belt off from behind the clam-shell hood. [ATTACH=full]707262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]707263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]707264[/ATTACH] IPSCO pulley vs stocker [ATTACH=full]707265[/ATTACH] Pulley/Belt Installed. Blue loctite and 200in-lbs. [ATTACH=full]707266[/ATTACH] Filter was swapped before the airbox went back on. Half the reason for the filter change was because I didn't like the bright white paper element peeking through hood scoop. The black k&n is invisible inside the scoop. [ATTACH=full]707267[/ATTACH] While I was in the drive-way, Mike was in the backyard cooking up some mud bugs. They were well received; [ATTACH=full]707268[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]707269[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]707270[/ATTACH] Also averaging about 15.5mpg on my first tank, so I got that goin for me. [ATTACH=full]707271[/ATTACH] Home sweet home; [ATTACH=full]707272[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
