Just pick up a blk on blk 04 SRT-4 Neon, 84kms on it. Really suprised at how fast the thing is, it pulls hard after 2300RPM. Ill get it polished and then get some pics up here for you guys to check out.

[Qasual]

Good stuff, hope you enjoy your car. :)

[StewartJD]

Wow, 2004 model and only 84km? Where has it been sitting? Always liked those srt-4's, tons of power!

[cococly]

That's one of the few American Compact Sports Cars I like.

Great car.

It has 230WHP if the engine is in good shape. WOAH. That's close to 04-07 Subaru STIs...

250lb-ft is good :)

Enjoy your new car.

[sirensong]

Thanks guys. Ive just noticed a rattle in the engine when its idling, it comes and goes. As well as it is only going up to about 8lbs of boost(should be 14lbs) The car is under warranty until August 26 2010 so no biggie ill get it fixed what ever it is but any ideas guys?

Deer Lake Chrysler, they've only had it a couple weeks.

[GordonTse]

straight pipe that bitch!

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

:thumbsup:SRT4 has been rated an under dog



fast car no doubt
lots potential

[Leopold Stotch]

Change the exhaust! the stock exhaust sounds like crap imo. unless the ones i've heard are all aftermarket.

Is it just me or do the stock exhausts actually sound somewhat aftermarket already?

[Leopold Stotch]

they do and they sound very raspy and unrefined.

[sirensong]

Its stock exhaust and its loud, i set off the car alarms in my underground twice today.

Like i said before its only making 8lbs of boost, should be making 14lbs. Car warrantied until August 2010 so its covered but somethings defenitly up with it, it also has a noticeable rattle that comes and goes at idle. But like i said its got a bumper to bumper warranty for another year and a half.

Any ideas on what it could be guys? I think it has the piece of crap Mopar BOV on it which leaks like a mother. Could that cause the boost loss? Also i think its riding on Koni yellows havent checked them out yet but from what i could tell. Also run front and back DC strut bars.

[gilly]

picss!

[twitchyzero]

84km..wow amazing. that's roughly 18km a year :D how much did you pick it up for?

[keifun]

I actually like this car too..way better than the current SRT4 caliber.

[Adrenaline Rush]

Is the rattle due to engine knock? Maybe the dealer put in regular gas and the computer is retarding the boost or something?

As far as exhaust noise, the stock setup runs without mufflers - all it has are resonators. Lots of mod potential with them though!

[DC5-S]

nice how u liken the car? i was planning to buy it when i was in the market for a new car.. awesome car with great handling.. sometimes I wish I had it instead of my dc5.. but i still like my car a lot

[Johnrb]

I remember reading about the srt-4 back when i was 13
then i got to sit in one at the car show

I've always had a thing for these cars and black is ftw

check out agp if you haven't already

[smoothie.]

[k2_alpha]

84km..wow amazing. that's roughly 18km a year :D how much did you pick it up for?

he meant 84,000
so 13,000 a year....

[k20a]

13000 a year for a 04 car with 84000????!??!

[dereklandon]

I love SRTs!

[sirensong]

For the guy who came up with the gas idea, I just filled it right up with 94Oct would that take care of it or does it have a problem cuz of the gas they put in it?

I traded in my 2000 SH Prelude (problem child R.I.P) The thing needs its head rebuilt, its got a huge hit on it. Runs like a bag of crap, i really just wanted out of it before it all fell apart. So i got 6k for the Prelude(i only paid 7) And then with Taxes, Documentation and all ofther fees included i paid 7k for it.

[Adsdeman]

Good for u man how does the car handle?

[sirensong]

Good for u man how does the car handle?

Doesn't handle as well as the Prelude did, but few front wheel drive cars do. All in all it handles nicely, does what you ask it to without much complaint when being pushed. The LSD is really nice, im loving the car so far.

Im taking it into the dealership today so hopefully whatever the issue is with the boost and the rattling is will be taken care of.

[Wykydtron]

I test drove one of those a few months ago...I really liked it. And since it seems that they haven't held their value that well you can pick one up for cheap-ish.

[CivicTypeRice]

make sure you get a nice BOV!

[DavidNguyen]

is your SRT4 stilll working?
im kidding
not the nicest looking car, but definitly one of the Fastest.
congrats!

[racerman88]

congrats on the car

[sirensong]

Anyone know where i can get a boost leak test done or buy a tester?

[TOPEC]

arent they straight pipes from the factory? if i remember right they have no mufflers?

[Govenator]

srt-4's are sweet, but you will encounter tranny problems soon if it hasnt been fixed yet. Also the stock clutch sucks and hopefully was replaced allready. A stock srt-4 will boost anywhere from 12-15 depending on weather conditions. Lastly get a catch can on that thing, the little neon loves oil blow by!

What goes on the tranny?

And i dont mind the clutch at all, not mooshy like the Prelude clutch was.

[Dentz]

Sweet car, the only thing I don't like about them was the interior quality (but I've only been in base model neons of the same era). SRT-4's are F-ING LOUD with aftermarket exhausts.

[TOPEC]

interior quality

manual rear windows. lol

[RabidRat]

love SRT-4's. not enough of 'em around locally. =/

[Dentz]

manual rear windows. lol

I remember reading something about that. That's actually true?

The only other thing that really stands out in my mind was something to do with the climate controls.

*I think* when I had the fan on full, and on defrost, I literally could not twist the vent "changer knob" off of defrost, to another position. I actually had to turn off the fan, turn the directional knob, then turn the fan back on.

Make sense?

Don't quote me on this but if it's anything like the Caliber SRT4, max boost is X-psi at certain times that depend on engine temp, altitude and outside temp, but the ECU will compensate for less than ideal situations and boost the psi up a bunch to compensate (so instead of 8 it goes up to 14... not sure those numbers are right but it's an example) for the heat soak loss and the like.

[smoothie.]

should get a turbo timer

that car gets freaking hot

[yangwenli]

does it have power window for the back seats

[sirensong]

Yes it has roll down back windows :-P Weight saver hahaha

Lomac, yes it does have variable boost based on conditions. But ive talked to other SRT owners and all seem to concur that my boost loss is beyond normal parameters. Doing a leak test soon, hopefully thats all it is.
