Project DEAD!
Another in a long line of disappointments! Another in a long line of loosing money, this time more than I have ever spent! I have nothing, everything including jacket, navi system, helmet, tools, slicks went in one fell swoop.
One day I shall explain completely what happen, hardly anybody knows and I'd like to keep it that way for the moment.
I will say the car was in a minor accident but that was the start of snowball rolling down hill and picking up speed. I haven't driven it since May of this year!
Not sure what I will replace it with, focus has changed. No longer in debt, I want to travel more, find somebody if you get my drift. I'm not getting any younger look at my age. I do need transportation, this is Los Angeles and having no car is largely not practical at all.
Will start yet another page when I get my next car, until then I will keep this page up.

Welcome to my newest addition to the garage!
My 2003 Dodge Neon SRT-4!
Its been a long time in coming, but I finally got one!
Goals for this project -
Remain my daily driver and all around killing machine on the street.
500+hp with Stage 3, supporting mods and nitrous oxide
Bomb suspension changes to make it competitive in time trials, open track events.
Might try to enter it in SCC's Ulimate Street Car Challenge!
Current Mods -
*Stage 3R with Toys!*
Apex'i Super AFC Neo
MSD DIS-2, Plug and Tach Adaptor (not installed yet)
Cooling Mist Trunk Mounted Water Injection Kit
AEM Polished CAI
Mopar Short Shifter w/ Energy Suspension Shifter Bushings
Thermal R&D Turbo Back Exhaust
*Samco Intercooler Hoses*
On The Street -
RAYS Gram Light T57-RC 18x.7.5 wheels on Falken 615 225/40-18's
Track -
M&H Racemaster 23x7.5x15 slicks on PT Steelies
I also have Stage 3 with Toys...
Update!
Jan 1st, the trans gave out! First day of the new year and tranny problems. $1800 later, I have a '04 tranny with Quaife LSD and new Mopar Clutch.
Stage 3R is IN!
Took time, took all day actually but that's because we fixed some other minor issues as well.
Additional details coming soon, but even at 8psi its almost as fast as the car was at 18psi, you do the math.
I am looking to sell the un-needed bits; the ported manifold and Stage 1 with Injectors is already sold, just waiting removal and shipped to their new owners. I'll have my current 3" o2 sensor housing and Kintec's Wastegate leftover. I am also upgrading to larger 24.5x8.5x15 slicks on 15x7 wheels, to improve traction with the extra 100lbs+ of torque I'll be adding (about 400lbs).
Upgrading the suspension has been put on hold until early summer.
I am focusing on PINKS! All Out up at Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) in Sept. First shake down passes on S3 will happen at Famoso May 23rd I hope. With more power and more traction, 11's should be easy, as long as I don't make a mistake the power is there.
In fact the car should do low 12's with 91 octane, DAB 3 and no HOM (high output mode). But to beat EVO's, its 91 octane, meth injection, DAB 3 and HOM ON! The couple of stock turbo EVO's I have seen run 11.70's I shall not be loosing too anymore as I expect 11.50's or faster when track conditions allow.
That's not it for power mods though, I will be looking at cams and a 3" o2 sensor housing to push output over 400hp and finally put a nitrous system on here to push the torque to around 500lbs and add another 80-90hp, inching me closer to 500hp at the wheels and low 11's if not high 10 second ET's
No nitrous for PINKS! 2 out of the last 3 times out, they have picked a mid 11 or low 11 second class, thats just what cluster happen. I expect maybe a 10 or 9 second class in NoCal if the SoCal guys show up and some people from Oregon.
Keep checking the site, new pictures coming!

Matan at AWD Peformance & Tuning is no longer with us, tragically killed on May 1st in an auto accident.
Rest In Peace my friend, I only knew you for a short time and you did excellent work on my car.
I'm going to try to get the car to go faster the way you have tuned it. I am not going to touch it until I know it has run its best with its current tune.
We miss you Matan...
