 For Sale, AS-IS.

I’m selling my 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo that I’ve owned for the last 17 years. I’m a mechanical engineer so I’m going to tell you everything I know about it – This car needs to go to the right kind of owner. Currently has starter relay issue requiring you to connect a jumper underhood to get it to start.

Drives very well, and fast.

Handles amazingly well: Intrax 1.75” lowering springs, KYB GR-2 Shocks, 3SX adjustable rear lower control arms.

19” x 9” Moda wheels –only a few years old

Nice exterior/ paint.  Almost always garaged.

New transmission installed at about 80k miles

New transfer case installed at about 105k miles (factory recall)

Bridgestone Potenza RE091A Pole Position tires (50-75% of tread left)

Same owner for last 17 years.  I have all records on it since 61k miles.  ALL RECORDS -- oil changes, every part changed, all gas fill-ups.  I wrote everything down.

Borla stainless steel exhaust and 3SX downpipe – new in 2011, has only about 6k miles on it

Stock engine except for Intake / Exhaust – no problems smogging it, have C.A.R.B. sticker for K&N intake. It was just smogged last August, but I will get it smogged again for the next buyer.

Awesome stereo – Top of the line Alpine and competition Blaupunkt amp, JBL 12” sub, Kenwood 6.5” front door speakers, Alpine tweeters, sound deadening throughout.

Clutch was new at about 120k: South Bend TZ Clutch with Fidanza aluminum flywheel

Engine oil has been Mobile One 10W30 since I purchased the car with 60k, and changed every 3000 miles. Maintenance followed by the book – owner is a mechanical engineer.

HKS Boost gage – Although the car has never run higher than stock boost.

MSD Coil wires

’97-98 3000GT hoop spoiler

 

The not so good:

Has a slight stumble at 2000 rpm.  I just had the ECU rebuilt by AVPros, and it made no difference.  You would have to know the car very well like I do to detect this... the engine pulls very strongly.

Driver’s seat is worn through on side bolster.  Custom leather seat skins for $300, and it takes about 8 hours of labor to install – I can give you contact info for this.  Passenger seat has some wear but is not torn at all.

Transmission has a bit of gear whine, and has for last 35k miles or so since an end cap came off letting contaminants in.  The transmission was flushed and sealed back up at the time.

Brakes pulsate lightly.  I am including a turned set of used Stillen Cross-drilled rotors and new EBC Green Stuff brake pads, in case you want to have completely smooth braking.

Especially in very humid or wet weather, there is a starter relay which sometimes refuses to fire.  When this happens, you have to run a jumper wire under the hood to get it to start.

Similar issue in humid weather: there is a relay for the ABS system which sometimes sticks on.  I am including a used set of good replacement relays.  When this happens you have to disconnect the battery.

The left rear tire has a slow leak due to a bad leak repair/ patch.  It needs air about once a month, and can’t be fixed without a new tire.

The car is aligned, but it pulls slightly left all the time.  If you rotate the tires, you can find a combination which does not do this… one of the tires has high conicity (it is cone-shaped).  I rotate the tires to improve tire wear, but this is a side effect.  The lowered suspension makes the conicity / pulling more apparent.

Car was in a left door sideswipe back in 1999 or so while I owned it.  The door was repaired then and is as good as new (the shop did a really great job or I'd have never kept the car this long).  Clean title.

It is not originally a California car -- has Federal spec emissions and went through some salty winters.  The underhood appearance is a bit corroded, as are some of the chassis and underbody parts.  There is a tiny patch of rust on the rear deck where the factory spoiler used to be.  It looks great on the outside though, from about 10 feet.  There are some scratches on the rear bumper, and a little bit on the right side.  There are a few door dings.

These are all the issues I know about.  Any one of these issues you could leave alone and just drive like this, or try to improve.

The Fate of the Furious music video shows how much Demons love donuts

Fri, Mar 3 2017

The new Dodge Demon is leaking into everything related to The Fate of the Furious in the lead-up to both the car and the film's debut in just over a month. The latest teaser involves Demons doing donuts and burnouts in the Get Off music video, with copious amounts of both tire smoke and hip hop to accompany the tire-shredding shenanigans. It also gives us a look at some of the film's other cars. Get Off is a song by Travis Scott, Quavo, and Lil Uzi that's featured on The Fate of the Furious soundtrack, which is out now. The teaser for the music video features a pack of Dodge Challengers - both Demon and non-Demon spec - along with a line of non-SRT related products. From what we can see, the movie will have a Scion FR-S/Toyota 86, a highly modified C2 generation Chevrolet Corvette, and a Mercedes-AMG GT S. In typical over-the-top fashion, the final shot shows a submarine bursting through ice in pursuit of several cars, including a Subaru WRX. We can't see much else as the full music video hasn't been released, but expect a few more teasers once it does. The Fate of the Furious debuts Friday, April 14, just days after the Dodge Demon's debut at the New York Auto Show.

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers. Mopar Enhances FCA Owner Apps - Redesigned FCA Owner apps offer a wide range of VIN-specific information - Owners can access maintenance schedules, service history, recall notices and more - "Augmented reality" function, beginning with 2015 models, allows owners to use camera feature on mobile devices to scan and identify instrument panel icons - Industry-first Accident Assistant feature helps owners easily document important accident information and quickly locate a certified repair facility - Individual brand versions of the app support all FCA brand vehicles - FCA Owner apps are free to download for both iOS and Android mobile devices May 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar brand has redesigned and enhanced its suite of FCA Owner apps, putting more resources than ever at owners' fingertips with easier access to vehicle and lifestyle information.

The Dodge Demon sheds some weight in pursuit of speed

Thu, Jan 19 2017

The Dodge Demon teaser train isn't stopping until it hits New York City. In case you need a reminder, the upcoming Demon is the more pedestrian Hellcat's stripped-down and hopped-up sibling that promises to be built for the sole purpose of traveling a quarter-mile mile quicker than any of its rivals. The weekly video rollout on www.ifyouknowyouknow.com continues with the latest sneak peak, "Reduction." While there were early rumors that the Demon may pack an all-wheel-drive system and in turn gain enough grip to rotate the Earth underneath it, Dodge and SRT look to be going down a simpler route. The press release reveals the Demon is 200 pounds lighter than the standard Hellcat. It's unclear where all that weight is coming from, but at nearly 4,500 pounds, the Challenger Hellcat could stand to go on a bit of a diet. The video hints at adjustments to the wheels, steering, suspension, and brakes, as well as some modifications to the car's interior. Don't be surprised if the Demon is a bare bones stripper model with no back seat, no A/C, and no radio. Who needs music when you have 2.4-liter supercharger and a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 making sweet love under the hood?
