meh, even if i don't get those i want to go with something similar. I think reasonably thick tires look sweet on second gens:


i would love to paint the spokes flat or matte black or a gloss gunmetal but i want a chrome or polished lip.

next question: what do you think of the srt-4 oem fmic? if im not mistaken its 2.5 in 2.5 out.

I was talking about the width of the rim. you won't be able to put very wide tires on a 6 inch rim. (maybe 205s)

the SRT-4 intercooler would probably be nice, you would have to custom fab up some brackets though. and pipe width doesn't really matter that much on intercoolers, you can always get reducers to fix it.

thanks a bundle. i knew you were talking about the width of the rim. the only trouble is that i haven't found very many attractive 16" wheels in more than 8" wide. 8 in the front 10 in the rear would be wunderbar.

I have my brother's 1996 Dodge Intrepid. I might give it to you very cheep cuz it needs some work, and i'm not sure what, but It's about $1,500 worth of work (most of that is labor).

It's the 3.5L with 225HP I belive :p

hey guys i'm kinda new to these forums. i figured i'd stop in this tread and say hi. I'm from/around the college park area. I just picked up two FC shells from CTJ and am looking to put together an FC. I think i've met a few of you guys in person before, but i've never formally introduced myself on the forum. I'll try and stop by the next time you guys meet somewhere.

I was also wondering if anyone local has any extra FC parts/shells laying around. I'm looking for a TII rear + halfshafts. I've met a few guys in the past with a bunch of shells/parts, but i've lost their contact info over the years. and kinda on that note, i'm stripping my interiors so if anyone wants any interior parts (or other parts for that matter) feel free to let me know. thanks.

swing out to crazy rays. They have 3 locations that will have what you need. The Laurel one is ok but they are very unorganized and end up crushing stuff after one month of sitting. The Baltimore one is two small but does have 2 white FC s4's. And the onther one is right next to the coast guard station and this one is great. Everything is spaced out and they had 1 vert and 2 complete FC's last time I was there a month ago. One was a white 89 gtu complete with black interior.

ouch, I'm just pulling a 5-12, and I get to sit on the computer all night

I pulled some 12am-9:30am shifts last semester... that wasn't fun.
