    2017 VCA Membership Packages

    It's not that complicated. Either do that or pro-rate membership dues (as nearly every other club does). Yeah, have your fun. Facts are that I'm just not happy with the value of the purchase and I'm choosing not to renew. I figured they would like to know my concerns so that they could...

    2017 VCA Membership Packages

    I don't mean to be a pain but you should really disclose that the memberships are calendar year at the point of joining so that people know that they are not getting the full value of their membership if they join later in the year. I know it's not a lot of money and people will tell me to...

    2017 VCA Membership Packages

    I'm a bit confused about the renewal. I bought my car in June and joined then as well. That is when I paid for my annual membership. Nothing was pro-rated so why am I being asked to renew again when I haven't hit 12 months yet? If it's the same renewal time period for everyone why wasn't the...

    Stock thermostat temp on 97 GTS?

    Still be prepared. I did the same (let it soak for several hours though) and hit them with a center punch as recommended. 2 came out super easy. Last one snapped right off. Had to cut it flush, drill out and tap new threads. Waste of about 4 hours :-(

    Opinions on aftermarket clutch Master & Slave Cylinders

    Agreed, but that is no different than buying from the parts counter either unless you are buying from the dealership of which most of the time you are overpaying for a rebranded/reboxed part.

    Oil change

    Super easy to do. Just get a low profile jack. You should have one anyways just in case you need to do some maintenance or change a flat.

    Stock thermostat temp on 97 GTS?

    If you put a cooler thermostat in you should also have the car tuned to turn the fans on sooner otherwise it wont really run any cooler unless in motion. Just be prepared that removing the thermostat isn't all that fun. You can do it without removing the intake all together but you might as...

    Opinions on aftermarket clutch Master & Slave Cylinders

    To be fair, nearly nothing (if anything) at Rock Auto is mfg by them. They are just a middle man. I bought tie rod ends and they were Moog, for example. Just scroll down the list of parts (when their is one) and go to the better brands. Like in this example, the Exedy can be bought through...

    Viper Magazine Back Issue Recomendations?

    Being new to Vipers in general I was thinking of picking up some back issues of the Viper Magazine for some good reading as well as a good resource guide. While I started to try and scan through back issues it was hard to decipher which ones would be good for Gen 2 content. Do you have any...

    Thoughts on pricing for this Viper

    http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/5768304200.html Not sure if he is a member on this site but is a member on the Viper Owners forum. For the price, I'd go with this one well before spending that much extra coin for the one at the exchange. You should know that I don't particular care...

    Wanted 18" Track Rims/Tires

    Dang. To bad you didn't need 17's. I've got some stock wheels (and tires) of my 98 that I just put in storage. local too.

    Anyone's Neighbors Ever Complain About Noise?

    First - what all is done with your exhaust? Is it just the borla catback or do you have headers and the cats removed? If it is just the Mopar system then he can't really do much as it is 50 state legal. If you have headers and cats removed then your exhaust may not be considered a legal...

    5 things I love and hate about my gen 5

    Nice videos and I love the orange. Always wondered why it was harder to get into the hatch than under the hood. Here's my dislike list: 1 - I don't have one 2 - Can't afford one (***** but have to be honest with myself). Love my 98 though! 3 - hmmm... Can't think of anymore. Guess I'll...

    Exended work from home...what to do with the Viper?

    It would really be best to sell the car if you can't take it with you unless you are thinking the value of Vipers may start to climb (a debatable topic). With that said, I'm currently doing the babysit routine for a friend of mine with two of his vehicles while he is out of the country (only...

    Rod Knock on a '04 ?

    "There is also a bronze color in the oil" - That's most likely from a bearing. Best of luck with getting things sorted out.
