Some people will never understand how fast the srt4 is until they drive one
Edit:
If the student from virginia that came to study in California reads this comment just know I was the one who bought the blue srt4 Palm Springs / cathedral city California ! Area!
got one with 600 hp :D
no one plays :(
especially when it sounds like an rc car in 1st and 2nd, wish i had the "the fuel pump is louder than the exhaust"
@@butwhytharum 💪🏾 I miss it everyday 🥲
I'm a valet and a dude with a big turbo srt4 came in and I was one of the only dudes who can drive stick. Hopped in stalled it instantly bc I've never driven a race clutch 😭. I had to let him take it bc he had an issue with his key where I couldn't get it out and only he could do it.
But his car was definitely pushing power, the turbo was super loud and he had oil pressure boost and afr gauges going down the a pillar
I agree, they are super fun cars! 😁
I just bought a srt4 what is the first upgrade i shoukd do?@butwhytharum
I still own/daily my 03 since new. Almost 21 years! 😅
Now that is cool! How has your ownership experience been?
05 original owner still daily driving ❤
The original burble machine and the car that won my heart as a severely unsupervised 90's kid hanging out with his older brothers in the car scene.
Vivid memory of a Orange Blast with a DP cutout throwing fire out the bottom when I was maybe 12. Stomping everything on the streets.... from a domestic Dodge Neon?
JDM scene was high on the rise with F&F, NFS, all the tuner mags. Life was so amazingly innocent and good.
Ive owned 2 and am currently finishing up my current SRT4. 2004 Mopar Stage 3 Kit. 89K Miles and it is an absolute stunning example of an OEM+ NSRT4 and arguably the cleanest in the PNW. Thank you Alex for your content and love for this platform.
When I was in hs (03). We gave the one dude we knew with a srt4 so much shit for driving a neon…… secretly a bit jealous of how mean it sounded haha
Dude that’s awesome! What color is your current SRT? Also I’m curious because I have one myself. Did you buy a used stage 3 kit from someone or did your car come with it? I’ve been trying to find a complete stage 3 kit or piece one together from the internet but it’s been a trival process so far.
That red srt4 at the end of the video with the red headlights is absolutely 🔥 🔥 🔥
Alex I still have my 03 Red Neon SRT-4 with a Mopar BOV and stage 3 Turbo toys still on the stock exhaust cause it is the loudest ive heard yet and some Eibach springs im making around 400 hp ! I have had it for about 15 years now so its definitely gonna stick around a lil longer I hope !
What are a few things I can do to increase the hp on my newly bought stock srt4?
@@Weber1987 I believe that you can still find the mopar bov plate that goes behind the stock bov and releases the pressure faster and it sounds awesome and look into the mopar turbo toys stage 1 or 2 that mopar made and can be installed and still remain with a factory warranty because they are genuine mopar parts !
@@Weber1987These things generally are really needing some maintenance before mods! Not sure what shape yours is in just saying! 😬👌 wanna keep the happiness supplier running!
400 out of stock frame turbo??? More like 350 max..
i can testify... i was 19-20 back in 2004 and everyone wanted one of these things.... they were the bane of my existnce...my foxbody coul handle most import/tuner cars but these srt4s with a tune would give me a run every damn time
This was another good video hope you talk about how to modify a DSM, Cobalt SS, or C5/C6 Corvette
Please do the dodge caliber srt4 next 🙏
I remember my SRT4. Had a blast with it. So many Smiles Per Hour. I’ve upgraded since to the SRT8 but I still miss that old car.
I bought an SRT-4 brand new in 2004 and my car was featured in the readers rides in 2005 in Super Street magazine. I guess I'm an OG?
Good to see you boys thriving & surviving without fitment(no shade) & i actually get your videos recommended
Please do the car that translates to "PARTY". The Fiesta ST
Just picked up a 04 dodge srt4 and holy hell do I love this dam car already 😎. Definitely doing these mods asap
Love my SRT4 and MartiniWorks , cool videos!
The energy is back!!! Ayyyy!
Bought mine back in sept for a steal 80k miles southern rust free car absolutely love it and such a blast to drive
I got Enkei PKR’s on my SRT4. Super early 2000’s look and I love it. Makes it look like it’s time
All the pop and bang from the factory 🚗💥💨🔥
I love my srt4. Cool video
Love the how to modify videos.
I'm still waiting to see what Alex has to say about the mazdaspeed protege 😂😂
Thanks for featuring my old car Alex!
3rd gen Acura TL next
I'm not far from Eau Claire and am picking up an SRT4 in a few weeks here. Hilarious that I find your video today!
Would love to see an episode on the second gen Acura TL! I just picked up an 02 Type S today and I'm beyond stoked to get to modding it once I'm done fixing it!
Nah
Fiesta ST next please! Thank you for doing a vid about my srt4! 😂
amazing video bro. waiting on the how to modify a c6 tho 😮💨
Please make a video on the bmw 1 series, i love that car and I'd love to hear more about it
I would love for you to do another kind of affordable one like a 05 Impala for some reason all the mods make you want to make it a off-brand Skyline
Growing up i always wanted one… 19 years later I bought one and I love it.. so fun to drive, turbo with ac 4 doors… and not bad on gas
Hope you like doing control arm bushings and tie rods along with watts links and wheel bearings.....made a bunch of money off these cars back in the day.
@@robsorgdrager8477Any upgrade options for the wheel bearings?
@@andydhillon1977 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮
@@robsorgdrager8477 lol no.
@@classifiedcalli1731 I'm confused, lol no as in I'm wrong or lol, no as in I'm right and you know my pain ?
I remembered getting a call for a buddy that worked at dodge, ( yo come and drive this car). I did and it was a blast. Good times!!!!
Miss my 05 which I bought new back in the day. Looking to get another to restore soon.
These kind of videos I’ve missed 😢
I like them, too.
Thanks bro I’m tryna learn my car
Damm you have done alot of cars in this series I love it could you do one of my personal favourite a Hyundai i30n/ i20n that would make for a good video definitely a underrated car 👌👌
Hey Alex, can you do a video on Kei Trucks. It was me who kept asking for it years ago on FI UA-cam Channel but the video never dropped. It was teased so i stopped commenting thinking it was going to drop soon. Lol
Bought mine in 05. Has 76k original miles. Things amazing. Mfactory input shaft with straight cut 1st and 2nd gears, built head and s206 turbo. Love it. Where are you at Nacho

You brought back the fire intro 😩 !!!
This is the Alex that everyone loves.
Had on 05 that was sitting on a lot because of the color, sunburst orange metallic, that thing just with a stage 2 JET performance chip a Mopar blow-off valve and 3" undercarriage dump exhaust, was a problem for Corvette and I really wanted to put a DSM suspension and adapter plate to make it all wheel drive...I want it back.
can you do an rx7 version? (preferably fd) I plan to import one come next year, so i wanna hear your thoughts
I wish they brought these back. I’ve always wanted one. You find them now they’ve been beat on so bad.
I really am thinking of selling my brz to get one of these. I’ve had 2 calibers already but the neon is still my dream car
I just bought a shell since its a car i always wanted. But i cant find a engine for it. Where can i find one at?
I always wanted one
Mopar stg 3 kit and done. In stock form they struggled to pull ahead of my svt/zx3 swapped focus. I had a 02 zx3 auto that I swapped in a svt engine and trans in 05-06. As long as I caught the srt in a low boost start I could just walk away . More times than not the srt was too busy making burble pop noises and I don't feel their turbos from factory spooled well even for the time it was quite laggy . My svt was n/a with 10.5:1 comp and a e85 tune . I gutted the body and didn't use the svt brakes or seats and that gave me a 300 lb weight savings over a stock svt focus. 16 inch wheels gave better performance along with a better sidewall on the tire. The srts were good but a mildly built Honda was better.
LOL an SRT4 would run circles around a garbage NA focus, assuming this is just you being funny. Finishing off with the silliest comment about a honda that just proves it lmao!! good humor!
@@rooh5825 you'd like to think. From stock they were laggy and most people didn't quite understand how boost works. I used that to my advantage. Yes my engine swapped and trans swapped zx3 was about 300+ lbs lighter than a svt and I ran 16 inch wheels with 225/45's for a little better advantage. That car still went from 35-130 faster than some street bikes.
@@robsorgdrager8477 1) The SRT4 used a small TD04LR-15Gk for a quick spool, there was very little lag. 2) A car that at most would be 250 lbs less than the SRT4 is NOT going to make up for having roughly 60 less horsepower, and 100 less torque. The SRT4 when introduced was faster than the Mustang GT, S2000, 350Z, WRX, the list goes on and on. You aren't even in the same zip code driving a naturally aspirated SVT anything. And "faster than some street bikes" LOL come on man, get off the crack.
@@rooh5825 maybe it was the way I drove it. I know on the hwy I would pull on srt8's, c4 Corvette, sn95 mustang was a joke. From a dig that focus was worthless but for what ever reason I could simply drive away from cobalt SS super and turbo, srt4s. The only stock cars I ever had issues keeping up with were the Acura type s and certain Nissan Maxima. I mean you have the same response as most people did😂🤣 . One guy on a 600 gsx wanted to see my nitrous set up. I put the car on a dyno at Hitec here in Minnesota and it put advertised numbers to the wheels. 170 HP and strangely 168 lbft. The only mods it had besides the swaps and none of the heavy brakes from the " blue " donor car was a hand made air intake and the manifold rocker from C.F.M. I think the six speed made that car fast. At 50 mph I'd down shift from 6th to 3rd and wring it out to 7200 rpm and by then I'm doing 125 mph. That car would top out at 147 mph and then slow down when shifted into 6th. Had a few of my fellow Ford technician refer to it as " the freak " because no one could figure out why it was so quick, including myself. Oh the car was a 02 and it never got the first software update which kinda nerfed the cam advance because too many people thought it ran rough. I'm pretty sure the dyno guy had a boosted Mazdaspeed 6 that I simply just drove away from as well one night.
How to modify zzw30 id really like your takes on the mr2 spyder platform as a whole
My dream car
Are you able to upgrade motor mounts (for any car) without a lift?
Yes
I haven't seen one of those neons in ages!
They are old. You don't see most 15+ year old cars.
@@andydhillon1977 it happens to cars people don't really like. The srt caliber is another one and that's newer. U see a ton of golden era Hondas on the road.
@@ramonbriones4487 I own a 2003 Evo, 1995 M3, and a 2008 Civic Si. I can't remember the last time I saw an Evo 8 or 9, as well as an E36 M3 on the road.
Is that because they aren't desirable? 😄
They aged out, desirable or not. It happens to every single car produced.
I had one 2yrs ago on E with stock turbo, anything under 450hp was a competitive race for me
Let's -Freakin'- Go MartiniWorks!!!
💯💪🏽💯
I love anything Mopar and SRT!
I miss my Caliber SRT4...🥲
I think there needs to be an Omni GLH (Goes Like Hell) SRT in the comming years! That would be a pretty sweet hatchback!
I hear what you're saying but there's really no need to swap it. The original 2.2L engines are very capable.
Im thinking about getting one. I love cars that are unique and most people overlook.
Seems like they handle well, too.
This car reminds me a lot of the Omni GLH.
Anyone know of quality suspension upgrades for this car?
Best car I’ve ever owned getting another one soon. You can get BC racing coilovers for these things. And strut braces help too.
Just be aware most people just dog these cars and don’t actually look after them so I recommend heavy maintenance first and taking someone with who knows a thing or two about them possibly otherwise you’re gonna have someone else’s nightmare and hate the experience and also just an FYI these cars are very maintenance heavy in general
The SRT4 Neon is what lead to Dodges current line up of "sports cars".....I said what I said
It was the original SRT car
@@mavr1ck853 facts 💯💯
@@mavr1ck853 That was the Viper, but yes, without the Neon SRT-4 Daimler would have never green lighted the LX cars (charger/300/Magnum) with big engines.
Love my srt4. They get a lot of hate but there is something very special about it when you’re driving one. Best sounding 4cyl turbo imo. So many turbo noises it’s epic fun. Interior is ass but the “viper” seats are soooo good.
Seems like the SRT4 was designed with the main focus on the drivetrain, gauge cluster, and seats.
@@andydhillon1977 thats pretty much it lol everything else in the interior is shit.
@cjbeuro2145 I own an Evo 8. Essentially the same thing. Its all drivetrain, seats, steering wheel, brakes, and wheels.
Neon and Lancers are borh economy cars.
My 2step video lmfao😂❤
Do Pontiac G8 next!
2:40 I see that you have been watching RCR enough to get their joke's formula down.
So just got into cars.to make more HP I can just slap on a bigger turbo and upgrade cooling system? And air
Feel like this won’t be a popular ask but could you do one on the BMW F10 series N55 car?
I see an SRT-4, I click.
My E85 neon srt-4 is my daily driver, travels with me out of the city, trips, daily work, meets, and I race the absolutely piss out of it. 202k og miles on engine.
Do a video on the lexus isf🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hyundai genesis coupe?
***Bro, you gotta do its rival too, the Cobalt SS (LNF/LSJ)***
Love this lil car, first seen it in NFSMW, and later at the age of 21 finally got a 2006 LSJ in the Rally Yellow i believe. Love this lil car though i’d love to turbo it eventually im trying to keep it reliable. Keep it up Alex!!!!💯
Yes! Lnf/lsj my friends all had lnf or lsj I was the only l61 na
Just picked up a supercharged one a few months back as a daily I love it!
These were the absolute shit. So hard to find any but if I had one pick at another retro 4 banger I'd take a running srt4 In a heartbeat. Not giving up!!!
Neons in general are under rated.
I have 2001 dodge neon r/t dodge motorsports edition. Only 87 of them were made.

This felt like a eclipse gst video lol without the breaking down 😂
Yo, youre in Eau Claire, WI? I'd love to just sit and talk cars with you.
S/o to everyone who bought this first in Midnight Club 3 and actually bought one irl🔥
I definitely go in line even if my group number hasn’t been most times they let me on
Focus ST next!
Srt 4 still relevant 💜💜💜
I have an 03 that doesn't run but I want to gut it and turn it into either a rally car or a drifter car
Man I miss my old 2005 SRT-4. Made power really easy, weighed basically nothing, and I beat the hell out of that thing without any hiccups.
Do how to modify a Lexus SC400/300
I hoped your site would give a parts list beyond wheels and tires. Bought my srt4 new in 05. Now have money to build. Like the video but it’s not help building one.
How has your ownership experience been like?
Seems like a great car. It got overlooked by most simply because of the Neon name. Pretty unfortunate.
It’s called modern performance.
Be different how to mod a 300zx
I daily a 550-600hp built big turbo srt4 named ol crusty! She is very spicy and she makes me smile and brings haters!🤣
I’ve had mine forever and plan on never getting rid of it
This video really does not do much justice to the planform in my opinion, most wont understand one until they actually drive one. I feel more need to be touched on modification wise not just coilovers and exhaust lol
I have a 05 acr big turbo srt4
Honda fit next one!
I got the caliber SRT4 cuz my big bro had like eight of these things no joke lmao
