I\'ve contracted the disease. . . . Viperitis!!!
Well, I am officially sick with the most wonderful disease a person could get. I contracted the virus on July 19th, 2002 (my birthday!) when my Black 95 RT10 rolled off the delivery truck with 4K miles on it. (bone stock). I've already upgraded filters and tubes and have exhaust in the UPS truck on its way to me right now.
I have been perusing the forums for awhile but have just obtained approval status and would like to say "hello" to everyone. I am genuinely impressed with the comraderie, helpfulness and fun that everyone seems to have, not to mention the occasional playful jab when necessary.
Rather than make several posts, I have a couple of questions right off the bat that I'm sure you all can help answer.
1. Brake Pads: - I need Kevlar or something that dusts much less than stock pads; I'm going crazy keeping the wheels clean, I can only imagine what the guys with '96 white/blue go through. HELP!
2. I'm getting ready to change the oil; I'm using Mobil1 15/50 and a K&N oil filter (any complaints?), However, I've heard/read everything from 8 quarts to 10.5 quarts and that the dipstick is unreliable? Is there any consensus on this?
3. I'm not going to make it VOI7 (planned too late) Is there a VOI every year? If so, I can't wait 'til next fall already.
There are more questions, but I'll get to them over time. Thanks for the input. By the way, I'm 26, live on the east side of Cleveland, OH and have VENMOUS tags; I plan on getting involved in events and VCA as often as possible. . . .I look forward to getting to know some of you.
