Well thats a neat design but just so u know the stock neon one does work and you dont have to lower the k frame to mount the cooler u just have to feel with ur fingers a lil bit and use an open end wrench. I actually like this design better since the fins wont get smashed by rocks as easily and just looks cool.

yeah... didn't know about the stock one working at the time and we removed the whole power steering unit as one piece, which was later sold with the old engine.

Oh well, I think I have to do some minor touch up, but overall I'm pretty pleased with it.

Latest update as of right now is that I picked up some BWoody Motor & Transmission Dog Bone mounts and I have to say that there is something animalistic in driving now... this is a very good thing

One of the locals up here crashed his car at Portland International Raceway (PIR) and I was helping him strip it down. I ended up picking up not only the engine mounts but his door panels as well. I did this not because they were SRT, but because the screw holes in the handle was stripped out on my current ones and I'm anal about things looking good and functioning right. So I'm using the SRT panels because they aren't damaged at all. (I'll post pictures when I get the work done).

Now there is a bonus to this because I believe the trim differences will compliment the new seats that should be arriving in the mail not soon enough

Gosh I'm getting really excited that she is almost track ready for my tastes. June 26th-27th I'm going to be racing Audry down at PIR and finally get the chance to see what her and I can really do.

harte Nuss (Teaser... because I feel German today)

Hmmmm...

Well as you can see I have door panels off a local's SRT which have the silver handle. I like that little added color inside the car, but now I have to match the HVAC center that happens to have the carbon fiber look to it. Anyone want to trade??? I know they made silver ones. If not I'll just strip it and paint it (close to next on my list of things to do). And yes something is missing, but not for long

Very nice man. Good luck at the track... Wheel spin is a bitch in these cars. Remember to launch like grandma.

WhooT!!!!! I gotz mail today.

And installed

Car feels completely different, guess I'm gonna have to learn... Oh NOs!!!!!!!

Oh... and if you are wondering why I have all black vs the two tone grey/black... It is because the grey was too white and not grey enough to match the color of my car. So black it was and I'm not the least bit disappointed with it.

The seats look great bro!

If it were me, I'd probably go to an upholstrey place and try to cover up the Corbeau logo and get it all black there to look cleaner.

Wow, looks damn good. From the pictures they look very nicely matched to the interior.

Also, the SRT-8's tabs expire next month.

Very nice seats! Exactly the kind that I want to get. Did they come with the right seat brackets?

hansken_yo · Post by **hansken_yo** » Thu May 21, 2009 12:03 pm

The seats are pretty damn cool. They really have changed the driving experience. Pretty much, I've become apart of the car, a whole new feeling. So much so I've got to relearn how to approach corners again.

Thanks for the props yo!

PS... tabs are getting taken care of (all 3 of my parents vehicles get tabs at the same time... weird).

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Thu May 21, 2009 12:53 pm
