Thanks guys for the responses, but I don't really feel comfortable fixing it myself. I just can't believe all these facias are warped! My insurance is paying for the labor and painting of new facia and Chrysler is paying for the facia itself, but Chrysler can't seem to be able to ship me an...
What about a Gen I?
All the d@mn vendors cator the Gen II boys! Gen II this, Gen II that, ...
Wait till the Gen III gets out there, then all the tuners will be catoring to them and the Gen II boys will be crying!
Thanks, Tuners! You just saved me about $8,000 in my checking!!!
Birvini- I don't recall ever talking about this with you before? I've had my car to Woodhouse for alot of other things.
Jason- I also have a warranty but when I had my car there, all they did was put on new head gaskets and send me home. How did you get them to send your car's engine to Arrow?!
Thanks for your responses!
But should I have to go through all that trouble for a front facia?
I was told by my Progressive rep., who was talking to someone high up from Chrysler while I was sitting in the body shop office with her, that he said Chrysler had just made 150 new facias and would...
Thanks, everyone!
But isn't there anyway to get a straight facia? For Dodge to put out all warped facias doesn't make any sense to me. The original facias on the cars were all ok, but you now can't buy a decent facia?! I'm lost.
I have had 3 front facias sent to my body shop including the one on the car now and all of them are warped, the last two worse than the one currently on the car. Is there any unwarped front facias out there for a Gen I? My insurance is paying for it but can't get a straight facia. Here's a pic...
Pat-
My paper says to compare hp/tq results to factory net ratings, multiply by 1.31 for a rough approximation which after taking out 13% for driveline loss, it was real close to the dynojet readings.
So 355 x 1.31 = 465.05 465.05 x 13% = 60.45
465.05 - 60.45 = 404.6rwhp -compared to...
Here ya go!
My base run(stock) on a Mustang Dynamometer 315.6 rwhp 395.9 rwtorque.
My next run(full exhaust and Vec1) 355 rwhp 437 rwtorque.
Now, on a Dynojet(same mods as the 355 hp and 437 torque), the car dynoed at 404.4 rwhp and 502.5 rwtorque.
JonB-
Thanks for all your help! The top, front splitter, and rear wing! I will have pics when installed. Also, thanks for the tip on the low oil problem I had which caused the car to lose oil pressure. I had an oil change done and problem solved. I don't think they put all 10 quarts in at my...
Check out my post on the Mopar top vs V-Mania top. I just bumped it back up for you! V-Mania is alot better and has a little more head room. Biff's a great guy!
Does anybody have a pic of the V-Mania top from the back? I just bought one with the air scoop and traded my Mopar top in for it, but from the sounds of it, I don't like hearing the V-Mania top is more bubbly. And the Mopar top is a pain in the @ss to put on and take off!
Bill-You were right, I had my hp and torque switched. My original post is now correct. My max rwhp is 404 and rwtorque is 502. At 2500 rpms, my rwhp is 215 and rwtorque is 452. And Don, if your car sounds like that at 4500 rpms, you better have it checked! My car just starts sounding mean at...
