The car is now Stage 3 w/toys with a few bolt-ons. Parted most of my parts just to upgrade and make the car faster . Unfortunately my engine bay now looks like crap. Had to sacrifice and sell my "look" pieces/parts as well as many other parts just to afford the Stage 3 kit. Engine bay will be clean again soon enough. I reverted back to a more basic cleaner look... this is how the car sits as of today...
your vinyls are off!? boooo Car looks clean as hell though! Congrats ont he S3 man! You got it back from getting rebuilt I take it and installed>?\ love those rims
Thanks man! Vinyls are off because a local (well about 1hr drive away from where I live) had the same color graphic scheme on his flame red and I got tired of people saying, "Hey look he has the same graphics as you" or mistaken me for him. When my car starts to look like someone else's I change it lol. I've put about 700 miles on the turbo now. Its running great! Pulls hard! Can't wait to get a wideband and clutch so I can put the AGP s3 wga I have sitting here.
No point in putting a new clutch in unless yours is toast. I am still rockin the stock clutch. Going to wait until it starts to slip bad. I have a brand new ACT setup waiting to go on. =)
Yeah I'm riding on the stock clutch till it slips lol. So far it has 58k miles on it. Lets see how long it will last, it hasn't slipped yet. Driving it around town and sometimes on the highway I keep it on Dab 0 which is only 8psi on the S3 wga. Occasionally I will put it on Dab 2 (21psi). Trying to save the stock clutch as much as possible till I have the money to buy a clutch. The ACT setup you got... is it the Street or Race? Did you get the flywheel too?
I actually like the cleaner look of the SRT4 Neon, see too many get the riced out look. I saw a silver stage 3 a few weeks back that he powdercoated the wheels matte black and it was a mean looking 4. Leave it the way it is, very nice bud.
Very nice...but I liked your side vinyl stripes, better. I do get the wanting to look unique thing though. Oh, yeah...Congrats on the stage 3.

Thanks man! Hit me up on AIM sometime. I'm not on as much as I used to. Sometimes too lazy to sign on lol. Thanks Wade! I'm liking the way it looks now. Its staying that way. Maybe down the road I'll get the front bumper repainted all Flame Red again. That way its all stock exterior wise besides the ride height and rims. Thanks buddy! Thanks Jason! I really am tired of changing the car and spending money and wasting it at the sametime. Everytime I do something someone local copies. I don't mind if someone has a car that looks like mine in some other state but over the last 2 yrs my car has gone through so many changes because of locals copying. So reverting back was the best thing. I just need to be unique under the hood :sly:. S3 FTW! :dumb: I forgot lol. Now I recall the thread. Very nice!
come on your very creative im sure you can come up with somthing different again. Look at mine. no one has come close to copping mine. they come is solid stripes. no one has the faded look. hehehehe.
Thanks for the kind words Nevin. Creating is my specialty. I'm just into keeping it clean exterior wise now. The engine bay will get the "clean" treatment, then a few things interior wise and I'm done. Besides adding a few more bolt-ons. I want to get to a point in which I'm happy with the car for a bit without the constant money spending I have done on it.
i like it better how it looks now BTW looks cleaner and as for the clutch ACT 6 puck only cause of the tq the S3 puts out cause its so down low unlike a big turbo so looks like u have 2 S3 cars
Thanks Chase! I like the way you put it... "less is more" approach. That is exactly what im doing. Thanks Chris! IMO it does look 10x better then all the previous looks. I have considered an ACT clutch, when the time comes I might go that route. Thanks for the suggestion! That is correct, now have (2) S3 SRT-4's .
I am not a HUGE fan of the rims but that could be color contrast. The car is clean and looks unassuming, then BLAMO S3! I rikey a rot!
