Worked on my car.. EDIT: New part, more pics

Post by lolelectricbluesxt » Sat May 20, 2006 2:32 am

So i got my parts in today, more coming by next week.

My cat approves!

My AEM out of it's box.

Image

My engine with stock intake box thingy..

Image

My Dodge SRT4 Short Throw Shifter out of it's box.

Image

All the stuff put togther in one big, messy pile.

A close up of the AEM installed..

Two engine bay shots..

Got that stock shifter off, after much pulling on those stupid clamps

Im kinda tired and doing this post sloppy. The pics are small because im also hosting them on the front of my myspace page, and didnt feel like double uploading and resizing everything.

Props goes out to orangeblastsxt, for his howto on his brand of STS, i incorperated it with mine trying to learn how to remove everything. Hot damn those two black clamp things were a bitch. Also noted is Modern for the intake, and dodgeparts.com for the STS.



EDIT: Got my SRT 4 spoiler in from Flordia yesterday, and slapped that baby on.

To be honest, I really like it. The place I ordered from did great color matching, cant even tell that i didnt buy my car without it on. Now all i need is new rims, lowering springs, tint, some white cuda stripes, more engine mods .. yada yada. :wink:

Although i need to start saving money, im probably moving into an apartment with a friend. Blah. She chose a bad time to get kicked out of her house = /

hell yeah dude, that's awesome. I need to get a short shifter, too...not sure which one (thinking of the Hurst), but I just know I need one. also I was thinking of getting an Ebay cai (for our cars, they're pretty much for looks and sound anyways, so why not go cheap?) cuz I heard they're just as good as the other ones. nice pars bro!

get some booger bushing and some motor mount inserts and your shirting will be much better. Looks good tho

:lol: I remember installing my short shifter, or rather remember watching it being installed. It looked like a pain in the ass. :?

But yes, booger bushings make a big difference. Mmm....I love my short shifter. One of my favorite mods, other then my TB.

It's still slow! :lol:

I thought I noticed a small difference in acceleration, but i wasnt expecting the moon when i bought it, ive got some engine work to do ahead of me.

My car has a hella deeper growl to it now, not a bad thing tho , i like it, it sounds good IMO. Gets pretty loud past 4.5 grand. I love how these cars sound.

Thanks for all the compliments so far!



Edit: Thought id show off my car freshly waxed.

Im going to throw up some sounds clips later today.

I hate you because:

a.) Your car is e-blue and shines beautifully.
b.) Your exhaust rocks my socks off.
c.) I want your car.

Good choice of parts but I would have went with a Maddog STS instead of the mopar ;-)

Car looks good thought as does the matching intake!

Damn yeah, if you have that nice short throw in there now, you should really get some Boogers. I still don't know why so many people think that switching the shifter is so hard. Other than getting my console up and around my e-brake handle, it was damn easy.

Car looks good!!

I installed boogers on my stock shifter and I haven't noticed too much difference really. At first there was less side-to-side movement, but it seems like it's loosened up again.

boogers are marketed towards the group with worn brushings not people with almost brandnew cars ;)

I was thinking of getting the mad dog, but was worried it would be to much of a shift reduction. Haha. I pretty much picked the mopar one because i was able to get it with the boot and knob all together at once.

Yeah no kidding, I got the console off pretty easy, but it must of took me 10 minutes trying to put that thing back on. Damn e-brake and shifter kept getting caught on something. It probably took me longer to get the console in place, then it did to remove it, and the old shifter, and install the new one.

Thanks for all the comments guys!
