I bought this car back in September of last year from an elder lady for $3500, I drove 6 hours into Jersey to pick it up. Bone stock, absolutely nothing was touched. Clear coat was fading a bit but isn't every chrysler paint job :p

Looks like you go a good start, whats next for mods? Whats your plans for the car?

Well the plans are to rock out the 7 bolt as long as possible. It has 108k on it now. Next plans are to clean up the engine bay and do some tucking. Possibly a paint job over the summer. I am trading my 6 bolt turbo block for a non turbo one so I might build that for when the 7 bolt goes but I'm a broke college student so I don't have much to work with LOL. I'm trying to see what I can get out of the 7 bolt and 16g combo for now and then work on the next setup. I'm guessing I should run a high 12 next year when the tracks open up, thats just one of my main goals now.
 
I personally like the paint, reminds me of the nassau blue i always wanted on my c5 corvettes, now similar to the jetstream blue that came out in 08 on the c6 and c6 z06s:

Why would you trade a turbo 6 bolt block for a non-turbo 6 bolt block?

Because his is bored 20 over and has been freshly machined and he wants a block with oil squirters so we are trading bare blocks straight up. I'm just going to run forged pistons.

I love that color too. I hated the color of my car at first and almost got it painted then I started to fall in love with it because of its rarity.
 
Sweet. I've never understood why elderly ladies would feel the need to drive a manual turbo AWD. Get a buick like the rest of them.

LOL, the lady was honestly in her lower 60's and you know damn well she wasn't boosting around town picking up bitches LOL. It was pretty funny because it was my second standard car and the one before that was a CRX that you didnt even need to put the clutch in so I had to learn right then and there well I started out revved it way too high and then stalled it and I saw the old lady laughing at me :toobad:

Lol, you don't have to tell me twice. It's held up for 108k, I figure thats pretty good. Start looking for a new one for me because I was doing some launches the other day with my 2 step in the rain and it was slipping really bad when it spun in 2nd gear LOL. Shred, I'm getting a new block so we can start putting that together over winter break ;)

My clutch disk is missing a chunk dude, but I knew that when I had it out... Its been holding up pretty good.. I launched hard on sunday and the car just went sideways tires were spinning (it was a little wet out). Not bad for just running stock boost :sneaky:
