Finally got her!!!

[rocco787]

Been lurkin on here for a couple months but now I am officially an owner and I couldnt be happier. 2005 RC silver...and bone stock. From every angle it looks like she was very well taken care of minus some minor curb rash on the passenger side wheels. Only other thing that I recently discovered after some research is I have the inevitable clutch pedal squeak which is a tell tale of the clutch slave takin a poop. But anyway, plan is to upgrade to the viper slave when I find it harder to shift. So its been good learning from yall so far and hopefully learn more, maybe meet up some of you down the road.

Here she is. Fresh off the road trip home from Maryland to New Orleans.

I knew it was only a matter of time until one of you silver clowns showed up claiming it was the fastest color.

I see...
So I should plan on replacing both? Besides ebay is there a good place to shop for these?

Yessir, Venomous1 Racing can fix you up for sure. I'd do master just to rid squeak if lubing doesn't work. Slave either works and disengages clutch or doesn't so if you can drive it is leave it ;-)
Try a good flush/bleed and see how that does first. You've already spent too much lately
Lets make it faster!:chain:

IMHO there aren't "upgraded" parts per se. Our factory parts have gotten the fastest times period! Including stock clutches ;-)
I recommend Centerforce now but hydraulics I use stock truck parts and have had no issue in 40k miles and hundreds of track passes :chain:

I was under the impression that "upgrading" to the viper master/slave was a popular fix to our apparent achilles heal?

I honestly have tried both and recommend stock hydraulics bro. Take from a guy and other guys that race and have racked up miles ;-)
Bleeding and contaminated fluid are almost always the prob. I can get you a great deal on whichever route you choose though bro.
