My 02 RT to SRT project...2 years later

bumpinneon20 · Post by **bumpinneon20** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 4:35 pm

long story short i found this thing in town..............an 02RT , the body is completely MINT no flaws anywhere in the body, and even better yet the car has seen a garage more than a road the chassis only has 7,000 miles on it and it also has a 4 point cage welded in it ....... so tonight i started prepping it , the first project was pulling out the ENTIRE wire harness from the headlights all the way back to the tail lights because the 02 wiring wont run the SRT setup removing the wiring wasnt bad at all but i have a feeling putting it back together might be TONS OF FUN

heres a few pics of the dash coming apart and pics of the car and cage as it sits now

Unbelievable how ugly it was looking in there as i pulled out the dash harness

so do you have the donor SRT yet? or are you still looking?

FTWNeon · Post by **FTWNeon** » Thu May 03, 2007 10:39 pm

There is a metal ring that surrounds the rubber part of the bushing, be sure to remove that. I didn't realize that had to come out and it ended up screwing alot of stuff up. I had to cut mine out once I burned the rubber out.

And I still hate you.

u think u can get a shot of the cage where it mounts to the floor behind the seats?..... curious as to how that one was done

bumpinneon20 · Post by **bumpinneon20** » Sun May 06, 2007 9:12 pm

no donor srt yet still a little low on funding lol.......as for pics of the cage to the floor i dont have access to a cam right now but i will try soon, i can tell you the the tubing is welded to a flat plate and the plate itself is then welded to the floor, the rear bars go through the speaker housing in the bac and then is welded to the base of the trunk

Sure wish I had the wiring from your door switches since mine aren't illuminated. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

So after being a lazy ass for 2 years I'm finally making progress on this, picked up the motor, trans and all the wiring last weekend started putting it back together, waiting on a few things yet before i put motor in,I'm going to put a new timing belt on, swap cams and cam gears, not sure on cam size yet but going with the boomba cam gears for sure, they look the strongest ( i remember toomanyneons showing me pic of his busted cam gears, it scared me) also picked up an RTernie sidewinder manifold and a nice custom sheet metal intake mani for the car, eventually i wanna put a garret gt3or on it, I'd go with the 35r but my plans for this car is going to be mostly roadcoarse stuff on the open track days so the 30r would be the better turbo for that from what i've read. I'll get some updated pics as soon as i can rool it out of the garage and into some good light anyway here's pics of the two manifolds for now
