I bought a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab yesterday, with 14,000 miles, and traded in my 2003 Dodge Dakota, which put my cost under $20K. The truck is just a means of transporting my bike. So now I have no excuse for not coming to the east coast rally this spring.

Picked up an 09 Escape last month. About 25k miles. V6 awd.
Liking it a lot so far. Its a bit harder on gas than I was expecting. That could be caused by mashing the accelerator all the time.

2 inches lower than the base 500? Or 2 inches lower than the stock Abarth?
If the latter, damn
Base. The Abarth is only .5-.75 inches lower. This set up will only lower the Abarth 1.5 inches.
I can't go lower in the rear even with coilovers. You can pretty much set the front on the ground.
I have no plans to do that. My car actually ride pretty smoothly and isn't bad at all. I commute in it.
Here's a shot next to other 500s...

Thanks man! Im assuming you mean Shelby Daytonas and Shelby Chargers considering that they are totally different frames. I almost went with an SC this time since they are around 500 lbs lighter but they're getting hard to find, tiny bay space, and people want real money for em.
As for the Shelby Ive been making strides :lol

split a spare two piece intake manifold. going to buy 3.1 liters worth of D-shaped extrusion from ross machine racing and make a new giant plenum for it then port the shit out of the lower and slap on a 58mm throttle from a 3.8 caravan. Probably have it powdercoated some garish color with "Bad mother fucker" written on it somewhere :lol

The L bodies: omni, charger, rampage, horizon, scamp, turismo, glh, and glhs were simca based and shared nothing other than drivetrains with their larger EEK based brethren

Not too surprising, lots of cars use bosch. Stock Turbo II injectors are rated 33 pph @ 55psi of fuel pressure.
I have a set of 52 pphs that will go in once this manifold is built and then I'll probably switch to dsm style and get stupid
NSX is nearly gone and a guy on the turbo boards is offering up a running, driving dart sport cloned into a joe dirt looking 72 demon. 3K, stick. SERIOUSLY tempted. Ive always wanted a demon and with what id do to it it would be better for me to have a clone

I am a Chevy guy, but I love those Dusters/Demons like a fat kid loves cake.
Skipped on the demon, too much money for all the body work it would need. Having a ton of fun with the FWD anyway :P

Converting to a 92 style rear end. negligible weight gain (grams) and it might up aero since it sticks out a little more. looks better in my opinion and thats the important thing :P

waiting on some weld in bungs for the vacuum fittings and then my fabricator buddy is going to weld it up then we'll get her powdercoated and paint "bad mother fucker" on it :P
Also plunked down money for a seriously ported big valve head, same guy is going to hog out my intake manifold lower...AND I have a PnP 60mm throttle on the way for the bad mofo intake
Also need to hit the junkyard soon for a one piece gasket-TBI valve cover which i'll likely strip, polish, and send out for custom etching :D fun times
Oh, P.S. Its up to 20 psi now, stock turbo is tapped out but she rolls on the highway. lol. Period correct old school Apexi-AVC-r ROCKS!

Yeouch! That wall is right there!
Did you hit the wall?
It through the first 10 minutes, it seemd like you dropped your wheel in the dirt an awful lot but the orange car was doing it too so I figured it was ok.
What happened at 6:35?
Did you hit the wall?
Yeah :(

Damage wasn't too bad--broken tie rod and a busted steering rack. Had to get all the tires re-mounted and balanced, but the wheels were straight. But damn, it looks like shit now!
6:35 I tried to psych him out under braking and totally fugged up :whosr:
I had 4 people breathing down my neck, tires started going off pretty quickly, and I let the pressure get to me. This is why we race cheap cars.

Yeah. Around the 11 minute mark, it was pretty obvious that you were driving in your mirrors.
You looked like you pulled it together though and were looking better...until, well, you know. :lol:

Totally! Tires went off sooo quickly. Different tire pressure gauge that weekend :wtfru:
All in all, it's just a bunch of work. The new steering rack was the only expensive thing. I got a fender from a junkyard for $14. Rear fender is gonna stay bent, likely.
