The basics:
2004 SXT
Graphite
86,000 miles
5 speed
cruise, power windows, power locks, remote keyless entry with remote start, am/fm/xm/cd, auxiliary mp3 hookup in center console. I deactivated the XM subscription atleast 6 months ago, however the receiver still receives signal on every channel I have tried to get. I don't know why but it does.
Customization:
The car has a custom bracket for the XM Roady 2. It puts the receiver up by where the SRT boost gauge goes. It also have a volt gauge in an SRT gauge pod. Both the XM and the auxiliary hookup in the center console go through a USA Spec audio adapter that plugs directly into the OEM CD Changer port. The location of the adapter is kindof shown in the pic, it's behind the radio.
The car has a B&M T-Handle shift knob on it. It is attached to an SRT shifter by an adapter that I made. It retains the OEM boot and, imo, looks factory. On the shifter/trans there is a full set of boogers and JonnyMopar cradle bushings on the shifter.
I installed a set of Redline Tuning QuickLIFT Hood Struts.
The trunk is debadged because the dummy at the detail shop chipped one of the letters. It also has little SXT stickers I had Jason make up for the side mirrors. I liked them, but are easily removable.
The car will come with a full size spare (185/60/15 tire) and the soft tire cover commonly found on SRT ACR's and some random non ACR's.
The side markers and third brake light are tinted. The third brake light is also one of NiteHawk's flashing LED boards. When you turn on the left signal it blinks on the left, and visa versa for the right. I also added a trunk carpet out of a 2000 Neon. I tried to make this install as OEM as possible, I ran the wires in sheathing and you will see in the pics how I mounted the sheathing.
I installed an MPx Under Drive Pulley about 2 years ago. It has the belts that come with the UDP on it. Honestly, the alternator belt should probably be tightened a little bit. Generally it only squeaks when you run through a puddle or when you have every single electrical load on.
The car has a BWoody oil catch can mounted in the air filter box.
Random things:
- injector cover
- K&N filter
Notes:
Before the car is sold it will have a brand new set of Yokohama AVID TRZ's in 185/60/15 installed. I will also change the coolant with Mopar HOAT, manual trans fluid with AMSOIL MTF, check the front brakes (however they should be fine as they were replaced 20,000 miles ago) and if the oil change is due do that (which it probably won't be due). I will also be putting a new set of OEM or OEM style floot mats in it as the originals are long gone and the replacements were so cheap I don't even use them anymore. This car's oil change schedule went something like this: changed oil at 1700miles with conventional, then at 2500 miles with conventional and then at 5000 it was put on synthetic oil. At 10,000 I changed with synthetic oil. Then at 15,000 I thought since I was using some oil that it may not have been fully broken in so I changed it every 1000-2000 miles with conventional and then at 20,000 miles it went back to synthetic. Since then the oil has been changed every 5000 miles with a synthetic oil. The only difference was last year when the car wasn't driven a lot, thats when I switched to a 6 month change interval. I try not to drive this car unless I know it will be a 10 mile trip or more.
This car was in 2 accidents. Both were repaired by reputable shops. The first was a drunk driver hit and run where the right rear quarter panel was hit and the second was me hitting an unavoidable rock on the interstate. The first was repaired by Schaeffer and Strominger Collision in Nottingham, MD (I'm pretty sure thats the town) on Rt 1. The second was repaired by Harrington Body Shop in Rising Sun, MD.
Everything you ever wanted to know about this car is located on this forum or in this post. I have been a member since October 2004 and I purchased the car February 2004 with ~16 miles on it. I have put every single mile on this car. I test drove it with around 5 or 6 miles on it. Everything that I did to this car was done in a manor that I felt was as OEM looking as possible, I think the pictures above reflect that with the detail put into the shifter, third brake light and the oil catch can.
Honestly I was planning on putting one more trip on it up to Niagara Falls for my honeymoon in May. It will add roughly 1000 miles to the odometer. This is to see if anyone is interested in the car or if I should just put it up elsewhere.
