New Car!
 

I just traded in my Avenger yesterday. Picked up myself an 01 Dodge Stratus R/T Coupe. Black, grey/black leather interior, 3.0 6g72 with the auto stick option, 94,000 miles, 4 disc cd changer, basically every option. I've been driving it since monday, and I absolutely love it. It is everything my avenger has/is, but about 2x better. More power, much better chassis, better interior, etc.

I'll get some pictures up after work today. I still gotta wash it and detail the interior.

Re: New Car!
 

nice! lmk know if you have any questions...only parts I have left are a full gray cloth interior.

Re: New Car!
 

Know a good company who sells headers and full exhaust for these cars?

Re: New Car!
 

yup ebay

-edit maybe im wrong, what does a stratus needs aftermarket exhaust for? is this like the time you autocrossed the avenger, bahahaha

Re: New Car!
 

not really aftermarket sucks for this platform, I had mine custom made by map..borla does make a exhaust but it is $$$ and hard to find I believe megan does too. headers I would try a search on club 3 g or 2gstratus.com. not sure if they make them anymore.

Re: New Car!
 

crap triple post ftl

Re: New Car!
 

lol

Re: New Car!
 

Why spend money on a stratus?!? Save up and buy a 1g or something for a fun car.

Re: New Car!
 

Reminds me of SNL...

Re: New Car!
 

I made him watch that skit when he first told me about the car.

he does have a 1g as a fun car

Re: New Car!
 

Welcome to the 6G72 club! :)

Re: New Car!
 

Why spend money on anything?

:) I love this engine. So much more torque compared to my Avenger's 6g73.

Bad pictures, I know. Just got done cleaning up the engine bay a bit. It had looked like someone spilled oil everywhere and left it. Wire-wheeled the intake manifold too.

Re: New Car!
 

x2 and although its not super fast, I love the quick response of it.

Re: New Car!
 

Deffinently. Do you have an intake on yours?

Re: New Car!
 

Waxed it today and also painted the housings black yesterday. Took some pics:

Re: New Car!
 

Looking good! Maybe lower it with a set of decent rims?

Re: New Car!
 

Yeah, I have an Injen SRI. Its SCREAMS when I'm on it, louder than my exhaust. You can ask people here who have been in my car. :)

For parts, check out Club3G.com (3G Eclipse site) or 2GStratus.org. 95% of parts are interchangable between your Stratus, my Galant, and 3G Eclipses.

Re: New Car!
 

i would just leave it alone and have it as just a nice daily. take the money and put it into your dsm

Re: New Car!
 

Bah... My car is my daily and I've done a bunch of crap to it haha :)

Re: New Car!
 

Nothing wrong with having a snappy nice looking daily. The Laser is going under the knife again this winter, don't worry.

I bought a cone filter adapter for it since I don't want to buy an ebay intake and I don't want to spend 150+ for 2 hp and some noise. Will it be loud with just that? My avenger SCREAMED with just a filter stuck on the stock intake pipe.

Re: New Car!
 

As long as you get rid of the stock airbox, with all of the little plastic pockets (noise reducers, whatever they are called) removed, you'll get some good sound out of it.

Re: New Car!
 

i vote do a front plate delete and then open up the front bumper to a big mouth :) looking good though!

Re: New Car!
 

Thanks. I've been thinking of removing those plastic grill pieces. I don't want to get any crap for no front plate. Unless I can move it somewhere else.

Re: New Car!
 

Cops in Winona wont do shit about the front plate. Just throw it in the windshield.

Car looks better than the last one. Hope it holds up for ya.

Re: New Car!
 

I remember a time you were looking at buying one JET and you know you would have moded it.

Re: New Car!
 

Looks good. I have wanted one those for a while, they just look sharp. Does the r/t come in a 5 speed option? That would be tits.

Re: New Car!
 

You can get a 5 speed with the 4g64 and 6g72, no matter the trim level.

Thanks Jake. I'll have to take that off this week some time.

Re: New Car!
 

Took a few more pictures last week.

I do want to remove those 4 plastic grills but am not sure how. I'll have to figure it out some day.

Here's a video I took from 20 to 80. I fuckin love that intake sound.
