Beautiful lower mount (thanks Chad!)

I know you posted this a while ago but didnt you get that mount off of me? btw everything looks really good!

Nope, not at all. They light up red (and very brightly at that) and that is all that is needed for VA inspections.

Yep. The car started with the stock 185/65/15s, I switched to 205/60/15s, then I put on the SRT wheels with 205/50/17s, and now these.

You sir have so many issuses I don't know where to begin And yes, Chtear is female. Do you really think a boy car could get away with haveing a name like Chtear and not get the crap beat out of him at car shows? And photoshop? Not with my meager skills, no.

Yup, I know this. Your efforts are duly noted.

By the way, lovin the side markers...

I tell ya man, those markers came out sweet as hell. Thank you for giving me the reason to mod them

Could use a touch more camber up front.....

I like them though, thumbs up, good effort. You should do SRT front brakes, it'd fill the gap more.

I have to get the alignment redone after I do the front wheel bearings. In theory there is 1.5 neg camber up front now. Doesn't look like it though The front will be comming down thou.

I'm still tossing around ideas about the brakes. It will either be SRT or a Wilwood kit. Either way they can't be bigger than stock SRT size since both the stock SRT wheels and the SRT ACR wheels have to clear them.





Oops...did I say that out loud?

Glad I could help! haha

Holy effing wheels Batman!!! They look so good! I had no idea you had this up your sleeve, you devil! Lower it s'more, take some pix, then put ur damn winter wheels back on! PS - that Wilwood BBK won't be able to clear your snowflakes. I don't know if that's an issue for you or not, but that's how I ended up with Matt's wheels.

Also, Any chance you'll be in/near Pittsburgh before July? Just curious about that thing that I need that you have that I'm gonna buy, yanno? If not I can wait. I have plenty of other stuff that I need to waste money on too.

Like a PWerks front STB?

haha not exactly. damn, you're whoring that thing up wherever you go aren't you?? It's a solid piece, I'll give ya that, but I need a few other more pressing things before I spend money on STBs. That's down the line. /off topic.


Also, I didn't realize those were 18s Chtear is now baller status I think

Dante, you bitch. Why do you get all the awesome shit? SRT ACR wheels are actually coming to me. Thanks for holding on to them for me!


Edit


John,


Since I'm completely unaware as to whether you've attempted this mod or not, I'm simply going to post it. I recently removed my hood latch, extended the slots that it's bolted with, and put it back on, a little over 1/2" lower than usual. The grille still fits fine, hood latches solid, AND there is less than a 1/4" gap between the hood and bumper now. It's much closer to being flush with the headlights than I imagined, and still lines up with the fenders and cowl just fine. This is by no means a suggestion, but rather some "food for thought" if you will. I know I'm one of the *few* with almost zero hood gap with an 02 front end and SRT hood (I also have crap projector lights with horrible gaskets). Regardless of whether you use this info or not, I feel better having posted. Wonderful car you've got, and I look forward to future modification.

-Adam (Since we're using real names)

Sorry for the late replies, I was in Ohio this weekend (sorry Dan...no free time for a meet )

Ryan- Thank you for the complements. Chtear likes the baller label I won't be using the snowflakes anymore since the SRT wheels will be doing winter duty now, so the brake upgrade is finally doable for me. I think I will be visiting your area before July, so I can hook you up withthatthingthatIcan'trememberatm. If it's the part I'm thinking of, then no problem

Adam- I know, I is teh bitch And thank you for the info on the hood latch mod. I haven't even tried to bring the hood down to be honest. As it sits now the front portion of the hood sit slightly under the height of the fenders. The one pic I took really does show off the gap pretty bad, but from car level or higher it looks OK (see my sig). Your suggestion has but a bug bin my brain though, so I will mess with it a bit. Thanks for making more work for me

new wheels look awesome!!! i love everything aobut your car except the clear tail lights, im sorry lol

It's OK Dan. Not everyone likes the clear tails. I like them for two reasons. One, because they work well with the white car IMO, and two because those were the lights that were on the original SRT prototype.

hm didnt know that lol

Yep. I was trying to find an image on Google to post, but no luck. I have the pic in the uber-cool promo flyer I bought from Carlisle last year. I'll scan that in at some point.

So your car is now a wannabe SRT prototype sort-of?

Funny you should say that. I had the idea at Carlisle that my next project would be to create the prototype (at least in apearance). I have another set of these tails, and I know where the muffler is at. The hardest part (besides the supercharger of course) would be the seats and ground effects.

This would be done on another car though. Not Chtear.

I want those other tails. But I need a new 00-02 PS2 bumper, then a new lip to toss on it. I love the way they look, and I've seen those tails on a silver one, and they are sex as well.


Heart your car mang. Looking forward to you coming up next weekend and dropping off those wheels!

You can haz no wheels from me. Hell, I don't even have them yet. Got to get a couple of things lined up first. As far as the tails go...can't have them either Truth be told they aren't in the greatest shape anyway

That's a relief then. I am NOT ready to source a new lip, let alone buy and paint a new rear.

That works out good then

Here we go. This pic was grabbed off Allpar...

I kinda like that!


*Puts of flame suit*

well look at that it says

2000 Neon SRT concept

That spoiler looks larger than the SRT spoiler in that rendering....or is it just me?
