I love my Car
 
About 3 months ago I purchased my newest of cars.

An 01 Dodge Stratus R/T
..


It's not even that fast, doesn't look all that, economically the gas mileage doesn't hold out that well (like 19/25..) but still, I love my car.

In the past 90 days I've already had done a few mods to this beast starting with the Audio.

Now, I like my stock deck and 4-disc changer, so I didn't decide to swap it out (until I can save up for a fold-out) .. So I ran my connections back from the rear speaker to a line-out converter that I had purchased from wal-mart. I then ran the inputs from the LOC to the Amp, and hooked up my new set of MTX Roadthunder (1150's?) *(Loudest BOX on the BLOCK) set of 12's and damn... they thump nicely from my 1400w x4 Logic bridged competition amp.

Secondly, i've already had ... well, a technical upgrade to the exhaust. I took my car to a local muffler shop and had them chop the muffler off, and weld the rest of the way back on a tip I got from autozone, sounds and looks great. Much nicer than before.

And most recently, I just installed my SRI giving me that exta little umph when I launch.. it's definately worth the money (ebay!! lol )

I'm sure to have pics and some youtube clips on here when I get a chance to organize everything.


... Yeah, but if anyone else has done some car mods and wishes to 'splain what you've done, go right ahead :)

My brother and I pretty much re-constructed a Mustang 5.0 (1991 i think?). Not engine-wise, but body wise.

Fenders, hood, light's, paint, quarter panels, damn.

That's about the most of the car work i've done in my day.

Stratuses suck penile implants.

Titusfied 2007-06-19 05:03 AM

I bought a 2007 Black Infiniti G35 Coupe, and did nothing to it. It owns already too much.

Dar_Win 2007-06-19 10:15 AM

Didn't you have a Jeep D3V?

I drove a G35 the other day, that's a very fast car.

Mhm, with 20"s.. it's still sitting in my yard too with a snapped drive-shaft.

I snapped it about 5 months ago at my friends house while trying to do some wheel-stands (burnouts) on that funny pavement with the rocks and whatnot sticking out of it, tried a 4g neutral drop to drive and BAM!!!! I screwed up a bit of the undercarrage as well, and well, haven't felt like fixing it up, it was time for the jeep to take a break. I'm saving up for possibly just a reworking of it .. repaint, tint etc put a new headliner just make it look very nice and clean and sell it off to some crackhead that gets the big eyes for Rims, or maybe just keep it around i'm not too sure yet.


It's got definate potential for a sound truck ... and I'm not afraid to go custom :P

Titusfied is the resident rich guy. Fucking electrical engineer =p. My bro's going to be an electricial engineer too in a few more years.

My car's a piece of shit and not worth messing with. My friend's dad has a camaro he's modded up. He has a big block he wanted to put in it but I think he's just going to get a small block so he doesn't have to mess with it as much. I can't remember what the year is ...I'm thinking 67 or 76 =P. That combination one way or another. It's pretty sweet.

Yeah indeed, my cousin somehow bought two .. TWO 76 camaro's from an old buddy of his dad's and one of em still have a bored out 350 in it, which was pretty nice, i'm not sure how much it was bored out. But he ended up getting the two cars for like 1,200 total.. which is freakin insane considering how much he COULD'VE made restoring them, and of course, theyre just sitting out in the yard....

Oh well.

Damn man that sucks, atleast you had an XJ cuz totaling a car is usually painful, if you had like a civic or something you'd probably still be in the hospital. O_o

Dar_Win 2007-06-19 04:23 PM

Friend died, and I was in the hospital for a little bit.....

Willkillforfood 2007-06-19 11:22 PM

Sorry to hear that man. You alright now?

Titusfied 2007-06-20 06:22 AM

Seriously?

That sucks Darwin, we Eagles fans gotta stick together during the tough time. I love you man!

Yeah those are some crap quality pictures with my picture phone.. ughhauh, i'll have better ones eventually. That's my "custom" work .. painted headlights, very cheap and easy mod to do it turned out alright, I Just need to get that kit from walmart and clear out the lenses still.

Willkillforfood 2007-06-20 12:13 PM

I think Mantra's going to need a license plate if he's to find you, D3v. Take some more with that included.

D3V 2007-06-20 12:50 PM

Haha, that's why I didn't post one X_o

Dar_Win 2007-06-20 03:36 PM

Thanks for all your great words guys. Yes, I'm basically alright now.

GO EAGLES!

Best friends since early elementary school. We lived in the same neighborhood, went to the same high school, had the same group of friends. :(

Man, that's too bad. A fucking illegal alien with fake papers too.. Bastards...

D3V 2007-06-26 01:29 PM

Just an update on the car:


So i'm about to give back the amp i've been using but i'm going to upgrade to an 1800x2 @4 ohms amp, .. shweetness, and swapping out the box, so hopefully I can get into some competitions before Fall season rolls around, DB DRAG RACING BABY!.. I'll be sure to post some specs...


And I JUST got 2 like 50w Out-of-your-car Speakers, they're waterproof and all so you can mount them up under your frame for the added loudness that nobody likes while your sitting in traffic *Muhaha* .. Definately post more pics soon as I can ....


aye.

Willkillforfood 2007-06-29 12:56 AM

Yea, you're gonna have someone shoot out your speakers some time.

Yeah, probably, since i've been puling up to the local carshows with them in with my Police siren sound effects blaring, it's fucking hilairious.

I've heard a lot of people smuggle drugs in the interiors of their cars.

D3V 2007-07-10 01:32 PM

Quick Update: Just ordered some 8500k HID Lights for my car, should look pretty nice, I'll toss up some pictures once I get a chance.

Example: http://www.carbon-fiber-products.com/xbhid.jpg

klo 2007-07-12 04:07 PM

Yea, it'd be pretty easy.

D3V 2007-07-12 04:13 PM

Here's a couple pics of what I've got done as of now...

With the camera phone, it's alright for now haven't modded it TOO much as of yet. Wow I just realized I have like NO pictures saved on the 'net as of yet, i'll have to get some from home or something. Geez~

D3V 2007-08-02 04:20 PM

Just a litte bit of an update:

Things i've done recently:

-Painted the Calipers (Matching Blue)
-Painted the front Strut bar under the hood (Matching Blue)
-Purchased new foglights (Bright yellow)
-Purchased Lowering springs (Matching Blue) It's a 2.00" and 2.00" inch drop, both ends. (It's gonna be LOWW)
-Am working on an Engine Swap, code (6g74 Diamante powerhouse motor) It's going to be sick, car much faster than as is.
-Am saving for Motorswap, and eventually afterwards am going to custom build a turbo kit, with frontmount, the works, probably run between 5-8psi, something not too big until I can have the engine built.

But as for now, it's getting close to being done for a little while, my system is really freakin' loud, the Bass has gotta be anywhere from 140-145DB which is enough for me, shit, my window has been flexing since I changed out my amp so that's plenty.

The exterior is going to be fine for now, after I get everything matched up my little color scheme is going to look awesome and ill be sure to put up tons of pictures of the progression, just too lazy right now and it's a bit harder to do ANYTHING at work.

But yeah, definately a work in progress.

kaos 2007-08-02 04:23 PM

I need car :(. I sold my Accord for crack.

D3V 2007-08-08 01:57 PM

just got my Bright YELLOW fogs in today, gonna replace the bulbs after work, and got my 4x Blue cathodes (neons) that i'ma place throughout the car this weekend, i'll toss more pics up once I get a chance.

Willkillforfood 2007-08-14 06:39 PM

One of these days when you need cash and you see all your hard earned money invested in busting out your cars' windows you'll think to yourself, "Wow ...I'm a dumbass."

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-14 07:02 PM

I want to take a shit on your windshield and smear 'HoH Owned You' with it.

Willkillforfood 2007-08-14 07:39 PM

That too.

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-14 07:42 PM

Either that or pee in the gas tank. That's always fun.

D3V 2007-08-15 01:25 PM

Hah, i'd smack the shit out of somebody if they deficated on my car, and after the asswhooping make them clean that shit off.

But idk, I have been wasting money on this car, it's never going to get faster, sound louder, etc etc etc. So I think it's time to hurray up and pay it off or sell /w payments, and get An 04-05 Neon SRT-4 .. I've been wanting one for so long, I think the time has come :(

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-15 01:49 PM

Yeah, no way you'd be able to know my whereabouts! I'd shit even more!

D3V 2007-08-16 01:23 PM

I'd just follow the trail of shit...

The1 2007-08-16 01:33 PM

that car looks really sex d3v

Willkillforfood 2007-08-16 02:03 PM

He wants you, D3v.

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-17 05:32 PM

I think in the words of George Michael, The1 wanted to say 'I want your sex'.

D3V 2007-08-21 12:15 PM

Actually, my car is for sale now 9,000 obo, taking offers!
