My Stratus

Yeah, i'm past those days really, the jeep was enough for me.

I just got my lowering springs in the mail last week, so i've got a project for tomrrow, or maybe just hold off again 'til next weekend, we'll see.



Going to re-do the lights, re-gloss them and wetsand them down again, they're losing a bit of color on the wheels, that and I ran up a curb and chipped some paint as well as the wheel the other day

Well, so I just got the lowering springs shipped in, got some JB weld to finish sealing my headers, restored the headlights for like the 10th time. Got 2 cans of Nite SHades in the mail, i'm going to have a long ass weekend, oh and my plug wires came in (I think they're Mangacore)

Prothane motor mounts

Finally in! I ordered these about 2-3 weeks ago, and they had to be sent to a distributor, and then sent to me. They're finally in, and i'm going to do a quick little write-up of the installation itself, and a few new shots of the car.

(Currently i'm working on repainting the car, my first time spraying my own car. As of now I have it two-toned with black flat primer, so we'll see how it turns out.

Anyways, here are the mounts, if anybody cares.







Replacing mounts can dramatically inprove shifts between gears, help launch and dramatically stop wheel hop (Wheel hop = when you accelerate your wheel literally hops and you lose power essentially)


Installation instructions

Just a quick snapshot of the instructions included, i'm sure most of you really don't give two shits about this, but just filling this in for myself, so that one day I can accurately go back and recall the progression of this car and have a nice little timeframe of the whole project.

Here are some items that I am going to need in the next few months:

(Note: Nothing is a necessity besides the upcoming mounts, but all should be done).

Motor Mounts installed: $350 (quoted)
New Headlights : $115 a peice $230 total.
Two shocks/struts front:$65 a peice (130 total)
Maaco paint job.. : $299 (commercially advertised)


Within the next few months I will be trying to get my car back into pristine shape. There has been a couple of damage spots thrust onto my car recently and i'm getting sick of how it is currently. Blah!

New headlights? As in new bulbs, or something brand new?

Hopefully not the bright white ones. I still say a study needs to be done if it hasn't.

Completely new housings. I'm getting some Projector inserts so that other peolpe on the road aren't blinded anymore. I've taken the HIDs out for a while now, and just want to get things back to normal.
