So heres the story of my 2005 SRT-4.
Had ALWAYS wanted one of these since they came out. I fell in love instantly.
I bought the car in February from a used car lot (Last time ever). I got shafted on the car big time, it ran like crap, had issues, but so far now, I've got her running very well...
MIL was on, short shifter was garbage, it stalled and bucked, MIL would flash. Joy.
The guy who owned this car before me was a COMPLETE DUMB ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! AND SHOULD NEVER TOUCH A CAR AGAIN
I've put almost 10k miles on it since I bought it, and am loving it so much now. Drove it from Seattle to Atlanta 2 weeks after I bought it, with all of its issues.
A stock turbo and cat were put in before I bought the car. So far I've put back on the car:
-Stock cold pipe
-ALL Vacuum lines replaced and routed correctly
-Stock WGA (Waste gate actuator)
-Stock Bypass valve
-MAP sensor
-Shifter cables
-Shifter itself
-Stock fuel pump and wiring fixed
-Boost Gauge
-STOCK Fuel injectors
-PCV
-Timing belt and water pump w/ tensioner
-IAT sensor
Lucky for me I know how to make deals. I've put in less then $1,000 with all these parts.
I only have one month left down here in Atlanta before returning home, and finally making a big boy pay check.
Thats when I'll get more things done.
Future plans are:
-Get rid of the Injen cold air intake for a MOPAR cold air intake
-Get rid of the dump for the exhaust on it with new factory or MOPAR exhaust
-Possibly projector head lights
-Possibly different tail lights
-MSD Coil and plug wires
-Paint the valve cover
-Find stock wheels
-Possibly slotted rotors all the way around
Now for a time line of pictures...
