    2008 Gen IV Total speaker Upgrade.

    I've debated using shakers on my car as well. I actually bought a set to use for a motion platform I built for VR racing and have a spare laying around. Thought about throwing it under the seat just to see what I thought, but never have committed to it. My most recent upgrade was actually...

    Need input for hi flo cats

    Similar for me. The smell on my car isn't super bad, but I learned very quickly that you don't let it run in the garage for very long, even with the doors open. I wouldn't mind the reduced volume they can offer as well, but I just don't have a good way to fit any that I think would survive. I...

    Major Oil Leak Help

    Yes and no. I thought about it just because it exists, but in reality my car is a street car that I take to the track once a year. The first time it cooked the rod bearing I was a bit low on oil and chalked it up to myself. The second time I still don't really understand why it let go. I...

    Major Oil Leak Help

    I have heard the gen 3 relief can be a little funky from time to time, though I thought it tended to stick open instead of closed. That being said, Prefix does offer a gen 4/5 style relief that's a drop in replacement. I went whole hog on my oil system after my second rod bearing failure on...

    What's the best suspension to use on the street

    Depends what you are going for. I have a set of MCS single adjustables on my 04. They are nice, but a bit on the harsher side, even when turned down. The stock suspension isn't all that bad from a ride quality standpoint if you are just doing typical driving and they are still in good shape...

    Major Oil Leak Help

    It's relatively easy to drop the pan on a gen 3, and they are known for cooking the 3/4 bearings on the track when low on oil, so that would probably be the next course of action I would take. That being said, you mentioned oil running all down the length of the car. Was there a trail of oil...

    Looking at a 94 with some issues. Need opinions.

    I'd say you have to consider how much you care as well. I know it might sound a little odd, but if you enjoy driving it and don't care as much about the looks, go for it. I have never bought a car with the intent or even remote idea of selling it later. I just buy them to enjoy myself and...

    9L Extreme stroker vs supercharged vs turboed

    I knew they would make it eventually. They had one outside of the Complete Performance trailer a few years back just showing off, and I thought I remembered Ben Keating being there one year. Figured it was only a matter of time before someone managed to get a hold of one to get on the track.

    3D print a fender seal plug

    Aren't those vent flaps just a mudflap material? Assuming they are the ones I'm thinking of you should be able to just buy a sheet of masticated rubber and cut out replacements. I have a mudflap I got from work that I've used for stuff like that, though I think it's a bit thicker.

    9L Extreme stroker vs supercharged vs turboed

    Aw man, now I'm sad I missed this year. I have been wondering when the first GT3R was going to show up for the Rendezvous. I had my car all back together in time, but wanted to put some more miles on it first this time to assure myself that everything was settling in properly. The wife...

    Slow cooling fan

    I think that sounds like it's got air in the system and is foaming the fluid. If everything is working correctly it should flush itself out in time, but as GTS Dean mentioned it's better to try to work any air out while the car off first as the pump doesn't really like pumping foamy fluid all...

    AC again

    You might just be able to recondition it. I had my blower motor resistor pop several years back and when I was looking at it I realized that it basically just acted like a fuse. Took the motor out and disassembled it and found some corrosion in the bushing at the end. Cleaned it up and put...

    Need input for hi flo cats

    If the cats are well designed they should make fairly little difference. For all the more that people will talk about them restricting flow, if you look at how they are designed they should still maintain the same flow area as the pipe before or after them. That's why they are larger diameter...

    Vin Sequence

    It is kind of funny. You wouldn't think that kind of info would be as hard to find as it is. You would assume numbers that are legally required to be on cars would make more sense and be easier to track, but ultimately I guess it is just a number. Dodge is probably the only one that has any...

    The forums themselves are actually handled by a third party and I believe are self sufficient from advertising, though I might be wrong on that front. A few years ago when the club was getting all of its finances in order we made the decision to do that as we wanted to make sure that this site...

    Need input for hi flo cats

    It didn't make as much of a difference as I thought it would when I put them back on. Volume was slightly lower, but bigger difference was more just the "pulsy-ness" of the system. That was my problem with the 2.5" exhaust I had in general. Every exhaust pulse was pretty dramatic and had a...

    Vin Sequence

    As some have sort of alluded to, I'm guessing the factory might try to stage certain cars in order so there is less reconfiguring between stuff in a day. Say for instance they have 10 ACRs to build and 10 normal cars. Probably makes more sense to run all the ACRs in a row just so everyone is...

    9L Extreme stroker vs supercharged vs turboed

    I've run with him in Hastings for Viper Rendezvous (well, seen him, my car isn't nearly in that kind of class, lol). I think he finally dethroned the old lap record as well if I remember correctly. Definitely heard it coming down the straight.

    Anybody Have Signatures in their Front Cowl?

    I would largely guess quality control, part staging, and maybe even revision control to some degree. These were small batch cars with only a few thousand parts build, maybe even only a few hundred if you go by revision level of each part. For the most part you expect any part to fit any year...

    Sorry, just saw this message today. Generally speaking membership entitles you to a badge and a yearly goody bag. Venom members get an extra or unique item. For instance, one year we did special coins and venom members got numbered coins while regular members got plain ones. We've also...

    Need input for hi flo cats

    Cats and cams don't always like to get along I've found. I just did a cam swap on my 04 when I rebuilt it after a spun rod bearing a few years back and tried to put some cats back on it to trim the loudness just a bit. Ended up yanking them back out as they did NOT like the new cam and tune...

    Anybody Have Signatures in their Front Cowl?

    Might be semi-typical as a lot of places will have quality marks and stuff like that on various parts, though seeing so many on the same part is a little odd. Could be that they marked as subassemblies were installed as well, but would have imagined it would have likely been done by the same...

    First Gen Air Dam

    Doesn't look like anything I've seen before, but that's not to say someone didn't make something custom. Looks a bit roughly made, so kind of feel more like a prototype or custom job.

    OEM Sway Bar End Link Rebuild (w/ Pics)

    I think the stock nuts do potentially have a little bit of a locking feature, but maybe not as substantial. I thought if you looked at them straight on they were the style that actually deformed the entire nut. There are three marks on the side of the nuts on mine at least and they seemed to...

    What Gen Tonneau Cover is this?

    Hmm, aftermarket maybe? The only other option is a gen 2 roadster as they didn't make tonneau covers after that. I could see the sides sliding down into the window channel on a gen 2, but not sure how they would hold the front on without the snaps.
