2005 Neon Srt-4 Picked up a new car last Friday, thought i would share with you guys. 05 SRT 67k miles. AEM short ram CF Eyelids No real plans yet. Pretty unmolested, just the way i wanted it. http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/o...99/SRT/010.jpg |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 NICE! We had a dark blue one fairly modded a couple years ago,ran 11.23 at Bristol (Bristol Motor Speedway/Thunder Valley Dragway),fun car (and almost 2 seconds faster than the Mustang GT ragtop that I bought new in '94/sold last year,it was all motor,which was just a tick slower than the S-Blazer with an '00 LS2 in it*). Neons are much better cars than they get credit for too...well,the 2nd gens are (1st gens had that pesky head-bolt issue,as did some early 2000 models...my wife's ES included,but we fixed that years ago with a '02 head,has over 150K miles on it,she drive it to work every day),LOL! Cool score :mrgreen: (*What do I drive now knowing I had at least 3 nice n quick rides-oh,there were several more BTW-? a '98 Mercury Villager minivan :lmao:) |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Awesome ride bud! I drove a 2004 I think it was SRT at the local dealer. The salesman didn't even hop in to ride:shock: Very Very impressive performance from such a little motor! I backed out at 138 MPH after hitting a HUGE pothole. Thought I was gunna die:lmao: |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Thanks guys, its fun to drive for sure. I've only had 1 person hate so far and he was driving a stanced nissan lol, other than that the car turns heads and gets compliments everywhere. |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 A "Stanced" Nissan, that tells me all I need to know about your only hater:ror:"thumbsup" Nice looking SRT by the way! |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Nice! I also just bought an '05. Bright silver metallic 95k on the clock. Pulled in the garage for a leaky trans, thought it was an axle seal, ended up being a leaky input shaft seal. Needless to say my wallet is empty and I had a big turbo show up on my doorstep. Funny how that works :lmao: |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Haha thats normally how it goes. I dont have any huge plans for mine, took the stock spoiler off, gonna color match the eye lids. Wouldnt mind a 2.5" catback and maybe a diablosport to run 18-20 psi but not sure on the last one since this is my daily. |

That's why I'm happy with the Pentastar in my 200, no turbos to want to upgrade! It's bad enough knowing that there is a CAI and a couple exhaust systems available , if somebody cooks up a programer for those things...........:shock::ror: |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Well luck has it, i found some dry pavement today and yanked on first gear, felt like clutch slippage. 71k miles and im assuming its factory so i guess i get to do that this summer. |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 ACT HD 6 puck. Also while you are in there change the TOB fork with a DCR modified unit. EDIT: if your not even sure about a DSP then i would just replace the clutch with an OEM. Definetly put a DCR TOB fork though. The stock units wear bad and cause hard shifting |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Yeah i was doing some reading yesterday on the forums, im sure mine is worn and causing my hard shifting.... |

Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Not sure about the rims, but I'm digging the blacked out bodywork. Did you use actual paint or Plasti-Dip? |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Nice ride the only experience I have with one is bad and it was heavily modified and the owner wouldn't leave it alone so it ne er ran right after he would get it back. That being said I've seen very impressive vids on YouTube |

The front bumper is plastidip but ill be redoing it in gloss black since i know it looks good. Most people think the wheels are red from the pics, but they are actually florescent pink. |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Flourescent Pink huh? Kinda figured it was that or Fl. Red...... Good call on the window tint for the deck lid, instead of using gloss black for the front bumper, you might consider using the tinting paint for that too, that looks pretty good! |
Re: 2005 Neon Srt-4 Wow I really like what you did with the trunk lid...hmmmmmmmm.... How is she running for ya? Clutch still holding on for now? Heres a couple of quick pics of mine. I JUST got it back on the road. Holding off on putting the precision 6262 until winter. I want to enjoy it this summer after the already long down time I had with it. http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/...5-14143259.jpg http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/...5-14143344.jpg |
