Post: #1  Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2010 5:14 pm Post subject: LowNSlow: 2004 E-Blue Neon SRT-4 // Meh Update |
 |
|
Well, heres the log for my SRT-4...
It won't updated with sweet big turbo posts or anything of that nature, not for a long time atleast.
Just plain ole boring stuff. :<
I bought the car with 80,000 miles on it from a guy in Florida for the price of $6,000. The only issues is a slight 3rd gear grind in high rpms and the front bumper had some scrapes from hitting a garage wall or something like that.
It has the follow modifications:
Forward Motion Wastegate
CCA BFMIC
Ebay SRI
3" Catless Downpipe
3" Full Exhasut
Mopar STS
Unknown intercooler pipe with Blitz BOV
Fuel Pump Re-wire
Current parts missing/jacked up/need replacing:
The shifter, the previous owner apparently didn't know how to remove it. It has cut marks at the halfway mark where you could possibly think it was two piece maybe... and now the inside where it pops on the to shifter assembly is flattened so it slides right on and off. It definitely needs replaced. - REPLACED
The hood scoop insert...apparently the tabs broke off and it's not bolted in. The bolts look tacky...so it'll be replaced. -FIXED
The front bumper needs repainted... I bought touch up paint and touched it up. It doesn't look the best but it definitely looks better that it's blue at least. -Semi Fixed
It's missing the injector cover.... which I just bought one from Mox... that'll be here whenever he ships it. I might use my paint and paint the "SRT-4" part of it e-blue. -Fixed
Pretty sure that's it for the known stuff that's jacked up and getting replaced.
Paint issue:
First photoshoot:
The hood scoop bolts are photoshopped out of most of these pics...
Edit: forgot to include... it came with two insanely bald tires and 2 kdw2s that mightve been on it since it was stock.
Ordered 2 replacements for the front right now... nothing special just something to roll on.  [/img]

Theres a black one near me with 70k... all fresh gaskets/timing belt/etc. The guy said he'd try for $7500 but would take $6000 bottom dollar.

I have a Mopar STS... I know the maddog is better, but I'm more worried bout upgrading stock stuff rather than upgrading upgrades.

Manny, you just spent big moolah on your R/T so you don't need another car! 
Car looks great and I'm jealous about what you paid for it! Good luck on the bumper- the body shop that worked on my car after the accident quoted me $400 to fix a spot the size of a 50 cent piece on my rear bumper (someone hiding in the dark near the I-70/I-65 north split in Indy threw a rock at my car on my way back from Carlisle 2007).

Well, with help of CM's thread and a few PMs back and forth.
I ordered my bulbs..
Photo from CM "How To" thread.
Here
One of my bulbs in the cluster went out (temp gauge) and I can't read it when it's dark out. So why not upgrade?
And I will most likely be ordering this:
Complete Timing Belt/Tensioner/Bearing/Water pump kit 03-05 SRT4
I think I'd be fine just using the gates oem style belt right?
Also: Mox sent out that injector cover yesterday.... so woot...

I love my SBL blue LED dash setup! Mild enough to look clean, but much better on the eyes than stock green. And yeah, LSP knows her lighting!
Look forward to the REAL mods John

Just put my order in with Modern....
The Complete timing belt kit and the MPX Polished Shift Knob
So hopefully in a week or so I'll be healed enough to get the tires mounted and have someone give me a hand with the timing belt setup as I'm not gonna be able to hunch over and do all that work.

Its hugely important.. Cause now when you drive your car you'll think of nothing else but there's a little bit of Mox inside you. And we all know how everyone wants a little bit of Mox inside them.
Plus that fuel rail cover went 11's at the track, that instantly makes your car capable of doing just that.

Got some goodies in today..
75hp gain thanks to Mox:
Crappy tires are crappy...yes but they were $100 shipped and have some tire tread. Better tires will come later.
Old vs New
Installed
And the goodies!
WTF is this plug... I just noticed it there chilling...
