Then dont go into debt to buy an SRT/4, just get the powertrain and stick it in what you've got.

Cheaper. Plus if you want to spend a bit more you have it out already, and can rebuild it OEM spec so it's fresh, OR or or or.... build it UP.

Buying a complete SRT/4 car just makes no sense in your particular scenario.

It's the fact I don't know how to engine swap, nor do I know anything that is willing to help??

It's really not that hard Opi. Just save up the cash for the swap, I'm sure there are lists around on here that will tell you what you need, get that stuff, and when you're ready, ask around, someone will help you.

To late everyone. I JUST came back from test driving one VERY mint SRT.

Needless to say, I'm selling everything. I want a SRT now.

Decesion Is FINAL.

sheit, opi... if you didn't live on the other side of the country I'd help you out with a swap.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 7:25 pm

Hmm... finance your air ride and I'll buy it?

Arro · Post by **Arro** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 7:27 pm

I still think you'd be happier with a swap... you're associating the speed with the pricetag, and that's not necessarilly true... don't let the b00st go to your head, bro!

I've swapped out engines before... this should be a snap. Spend 300 bux buying some beater if you dont have a second car. Trust me, this isnt hard. I just bought a hoist, and I will be swapping out my own engine for an SRT/4 engine/trans. I have to do everything you do. I don't have anyone really to help me out here, either

So I feel your fears, but chin up! You can do it!

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 7:29 pm

I already own a beater. (look at my sig, haha)

It's the fact that, I want something that's reliable. A swap that I know nothing about does not entitle reliable. See my problem?

And I don't want the speed. Actually, I didn't like all the horse this thing was putting out. (around 270 - 290whp) I just want something that I can drive around happily, without worrying about my shit getting broken into or what not. I miss having a nice car I can actually enjoy.

Then why not buy an excellent condition R/T with low miles?

I don't understand your reasoning then for an SRT/4 other than bling factor, no offense

For the money you will spend, you could totally work over the mechanical probs of your present car AND it already looks sweet. I guarantee they will break into your SRT/4, and steal your slicko Autometer b00st gauge, seats, shift knob, wheels, etc....

I still say swap "FTW" as you guys put it. Don't be afraid! Gotta learn sometime.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 7:53 pm

Another reason is that SRT's retain there value better than R/Ts, ACR's, SXT's, all of them. I lost out ALOT when I bought my SXT, and with this SRT it's mint and a DAMN good price.

So, it's a slightly better investment as well.

Well, it seems your mind is made up... good luck, Opi!

hansken_yo · Post by **hansken_yo** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:05 pm

yeah man.. good luck yo

Arro · Post by **Arro** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:05 pm

Hah yeah what am I bitchin' about, you could be talking about buying an S2000

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:11 pm

Pffft, I wish I had 30 grand to throw around.

Srt FTMFW.

OB · Post by OB » Sat May 05, 2007 5:45 pm

clean, simple, stock looking srt FTMFW. Id be all over that idea if I coul afford the larger payments and massive insurance of an srt, but with school and shit its impossible. The engine sway is my only shot unless I fall hard into some cash. Good luck opi
