 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.

Subaru Impreza WRX, Dodge Charger police car from 'Baby Driver' are for sale

Mon, Aug 21 2017

Fans of " Baby Driver," now is your chance to own some seriously cool bits of movie memorabilia. Allpro Subaru is currently selling two of the cars from the film. The first is one of the red Subaru Impreza WRXs that were used for some of the film's signature stunts, which made the red rally sedan the de facto hero car of the movie. There were a number of stunt cars used to represent the hero car, including a modified WRX and an STI with a WRX wing. This particular one, a 2006 model, is a little more interesting, as it was the one that was converted to rear-drive to make it easier to complete stunts with it. According to the description, it also has a turbocharger from a 2004 STI to make more power, which fits what stunt driver Jeremy Fry told us. The description reveals other interesting tidbits. The car does have a clean title and has 158,000 miles on it. Obviously some of those miles were a bit rough, and the description notes that the stunt driving has led to some cosmetic defects. The AutoCheck vehicle history report reveals more. Apparently this Impreza WRX led a rough life before filming, as it had four mild to moderate crashes reported. It also appears that it will need the Takata airbag replaced. But on the plus side, this car is a unique piece of car and film history, and its rear-drive layout should make it interesting to drive. On top of that, it also has a leather interior that appears to be in good shape. View 5 Photos You'd better have a healthy bank account before trying to buy this WRX. As of writing, the bidding has reached $40,300. If that's too pricey, though, Allpro Subaru has yet another car from the movie. It's a 2011 Dodge Charger police car in Atlanta, Ga. police livery, complete with a V8. It's also pretty thoroughly wrecked, though the description says that it is drivable. Based on the bullet holes in the windshield, the Charger appears to be the one used in the (mild spoiler alert) final showdown between Baby and Buddy. But because this car is much less famous and in far worse shape, it's also much cheaper. Bidding has only reached $3,000 at the time of writing.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.

Dodge Scat Pack for 5.7L Hemi V8 detailed, priced

Sat, 05 Apr 2014

Dodge revived the Scat Pack name back in November at the 2013 SEMA show. At the time, though, we were short of details on forthcoming upgrade packages, which were destined to add some oomph to the Challenger, Charger and Dart. We're still waiting to hear about the upgrades to the Dart's 2.4-liter four-pot, but Dodge has gone ahead and released the details on the upgrades to the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in the Challenger and Charger R/T.
As we detailed in our original post, three different Scat Packs will be available that will allow customers to upgrade their cars without voiding the warranties. Starting with the $2,195 Stage 1 kit, owners will net an extra 18 horsepower and 18 pound-feet of torque thanks to a Mopar-branded cold-air intake, exhaust and ECU ref lash. Stage 1 is also the only package that could be installed outside of a Chrysler-authorized service center without voiding the warranty (a mechanically competent owner could even do it at home, we're told by Dodge). Stage 2 builds on the entry level Scat Pack, and adds performance camshaft kit, which boosts output over the stock 5.7 by up to 30 hp for $1,895. As with the Stage 1, the ECU is tweaked.
For those that want to go whole hog, they can add the Stage 3 for $4,995. The top-tier gets quite serious, adding CNC-ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow headers and cats. Output over stock is 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque. Each kit comes with a pair of badges, just in case owners want a bit of visual flair.
