- Here's a video for common things to look out for when you're in the market for an SRT-4. I tried to make this as in-depth as possible and if there's anything I missed, comment below!
But I wanna thank all my subscribers once again for getting me over the 1k milestone! You'll rock 🤙

That car is PERFECT.
Jesus loves you
except, you can't buy a throttle cable when yours breaks, because THEY'RE obsolete. There's also other numerous
parts and pieces n these cars that are also considered obsolete. Like the fuel pump to tank gasket. Just wait till you need one, and find out.
@@rickspearman344i have a 450hp one and can get any part whenever I want idk what you are talking about
Still have my 2003 SRT-4, bought it brand new in May, 2003. 215k miles and original motor and turbo still. No smoke issues, just had the oil leak at the banjo bolt a few times, which will smoke and stink until you change out the copper crush washers. Mostly stock except CAI and Mopar/Borla exhaust. Had the 3rd gear grind, replaced the trans under warranty around 70k miles with a trans built in 2007 which has been bulletproof since. I think I'm on my 5th clutch. I replaced the original at 60k miles with a Spec stage 2 clutch which had issues, and replaced it with the (now discontinued) Mopar performance clutch after 10k miles when i had the trans replaced. After that I went back to stock OEM clutches and they generally start to fail after 60k miles. When replacing, make sure you replace the pivot fork & ball, the throwout bearing, and possibly the slave cylinder. Many of the original parts have lasted ridiculously long. I only replaced the original radiator, alternator, and power steering pump within the last couple years. I did have water leaks and rust issues unfortunately. Now I have a head gasket leak but patched it up with some Blue Devil. Not taking it on any long trips so I don't worry that much, just have to top off the coolant every so often. Car is still fun and quick for what it is. I used to swap between Max performance summer tires and Michelin X-Ice tires in winter, and this provided superb grip and traction. In snow, it was no problem ever, other than clearance issues. Now i just have cheap General UHP tires, definitely not as good as separate summer/winter setup, but not terrible for cheap tires.
does 3rd gear grind always mean you have to get a new transmission?
@@davidmaldonado4720 No not necessarily. I've heard of it being fixed by replacing shift forks and other ways. Lots of good info about it on the forums I'm sure. But the 03 and early 04 transmissions are prone to this issue.
Glad i found you're channel hopefully getting a srt4 soon
ACR had 16 inch BBS wheels, better suspension and ACR seats. Although you can now buy the cut out inserts to make the stock srt4 seat the same as ACR minus the embroidered ACR logo 👍
I belive the ACR had Viper front seats.
Found a bone stock 2005 for sale I’m really considering buying... thanks for this video and information!
I really want one of these, FWD so decent in the snow, turbo 4 banger, 4 door, and stick! It’s just hard to find not so shitty ones now a days
Really detailed video im looking at buying my first turbo vehicle and my buddy has one of these cars and i fell in love.
My 2004 had fuel pressure fitting at the fuel rail. I still have it 😊 in my toolbox.
Thanks buddy! Going to look at a bone stock 05 on Friday....2 owner guy has owned it since 30k miles! 🤟 I’ve wanted one forever
I wanna get one, but in like 2 years, and there's really none in new jersey
No laughing please, have a question, What would you think about a pipe at my? 05 I just have a stock neon clean sixty thousand miles??? A good video, you're extremely knowledgeable. My hats off to you.
I learned a lot listening to you.
Great video !!! Learned so much in 30 minutes 🙏🏽
Good stuff man. Hopefully having an 04 trucked down to Texas here in the next few days!
I had an 03 years ago but I’m thinking of getting another one and this one looks clean.
I never see these cars and recently I saw one on marketplace after blowing up my subie 😭. Looking forward to taking a look at it and I'll probably watch this vid again before I go and check it out. Very informative and great vid thx!
Need more videos 💪🏿 first time coming across your channel 🔥
Got 2. 05 in orange blast and 05 in e-blue
I got an 2005 Orange ACR 121k miles. Only thing, its rusting and need to fix asap. Fun and cheap car though, easy to fix too.
This vid made me subscribe
Gotta love it if u race this thing is a beast among beast but u need a second car if u got a family 😩 I had an 2001 r/t it was so much fun but I love my pt gt with the srt4 motor it's not as fast but u make them extremely quick and carry the family on road trips more comfy they're both have plenty aftermarket parts 👍
Bro dude og perfect look for srt4 no bullshit
More durable than a WRX
Great video!
It was up to the dealerships if they wanted to stage the cars but any cars could be staged didn’t matter what year .. 04 and 05 also came with bigger injectors stock so stage 1 would only be a PCM upgrade.
I bought this exact car hahahaha
I have one o4 srt4 they are fast but cool cars
Can you find a modded one that's a good value & taken care of? Of course. But I mean, a stock one IS the holy grail. Most of these were used the way Mopar intended & were modded, raced, and driven into the ground. If you find a stocker, it's rare & will prob command 20-25k now if it's low miles. It's also far less likely that it was driven hard if it's bone stock. You then mod it for yourself.
I must be really lucky because my neon is a 05 stage 3
Whats the wheel and tire specs love the look
What's the fitment on rims and tires
Can you still get srt4 parts for these from mopar
Do you still have your srt4? Is it for sale?
Great video man. I've got an all original 05 that I bought brand new. Am ready to dinally start modifying it now. First stop is a maddog sts. Do you know if I can still find one of the around?
Also you earned a sub with that video from me.
Putting an LSD in an '03 doesnt mean rebuilding the whole transmission... geez. And since you dont know if ones been added or not, then you shouldnt rule out buying an '03. Next there are no issues with tuning the 2003 PCM, I have had mine for well over 10 years and have pulled the tune on and off of it several times over the years. You just need to be patient, follow the directions, have a fully charged battery and all accessories turned off. A 2003 with the 2004-2005 injectors and a Diablo tuner and your at the same "stock" underrated HP as the '04-'05's. The multi function problem mainly stems to owners putting in bulbs that draw more current than stock and then melty melty. No 2003 had a sunroof, not an option till 2004. One little known 2003 difference, the alternator is a 180 amp vs a 136 amp for the 2004-'05's. And "because racecar" your best bet for buying an SRT4 is to try to buy one that is as close to stock as possible with 2 or less owners that didnt treat theirs like most SRT4 owners do.
Where did you get your front lip from can you put in a link?
Looking to buy a 2005 neon srt4 with 155,000 miles on it it just has a intake and bov, what should I look out for and what problems should I be ready for in the future?
Link for front lip?
What about converting an sxt into an srt-4?
I had two loved them bow I have a ion redline sc and love all 3
Still missing my srt4 .
Looking for another. Hard to find in Canada bc
Ya buddy, I’m in AB and it was my 1st car and had it for years. Miss it all the time. Wicked fast for what it is..
@@Intimidator1105 i found a orange one .
@@azimaslam6375 Nice buddy! Make sure you take a good look before you buy. I remember my old one would eat seals and gaskets like a mofo
@@Intimidator1105 yeah thanks , its in good condition with only 106k miles. Its missing side skirts. Can't find it anywhere. I guess I'll have e to go with aftermarket splitters
But yeah Will keep it. Its a fun car to do stuff with . This is one is my 4th srt4
I'm glad its stock . More reliable.
What’s your wheel an tire specs
XXR 527 17x8.25 +25 offset. 225/45/17
Austin Akens thanks man setup looks real nice
Did a ACT clutch install and the teeth on my input shaft have some pretty severe signs of wear. my guess is i drove it too long on a bad throwout bearing. anyways it drives fine but if i do run into any issues would it make more sense to rebuild the tranny or find one used for 4-600?
If you can build it yourself do it, it’s a rewarding process and usually at least a little cheaper, sometimes way cheaper
Can I buy this
Yea make me an offer I can't refuse haha
Austin Akens $8000
@@milowalks Hell come get it 😅
I have 05 ce srt4
Shoot, I completely forgot about the commerative editions! That's awesome though!
Im a 2003 SRT-4 owner. In Fact I am the very first SRT-4 owner in the world.
Ask me about my rebates and more that the rest of the public missed out on just barely a couple hrs after it's official release. I got mine for $16,458.50 USD out the door with the Zebart rust protection. Yes I was the first purchaser, order, and owner...
I appreciate your video for what it's suppose to be, but you're making claims, hand down assessments, and consumer buying suggestions without the proper credentials. To say one year was better than the other is minute. the only difference was rubber pedals in 2003, the quaife LSD, Moon roof, and a very slight power change due to S1 injectors n tuning. Thats literally it!!! The fuel rail I never heard about. Glad I have an '03 I guess.
also the '03 having S0 computer is actually a plus if you plan on going with more boost later on and a piggy back PCU/Fuel system. Much less to work around. But Im glad I have the much more desirable fuel rail piece you mentioned. I never knew there was such a desired part on my year.
The ACR is meerly suspension and rim size difference. the suspension will be upgraded quickly without thought. In stock form it will need to be replaced in no time. so it's not a decision maker. nor are the rims. The only desirable factor for an ACR is the VIN. My 2003 only had 3250 cars made that year. Mine is black. The other years there are more. which means less limited numbers. Its about total manufactured cars. and mine is among the most limited qty being a 2003. Still have all my original stock parts.
Be sure to keep all of yours.
I will never sell mine... But if you do, then keep all your original parts and put it back together for max resale.
LOVE HOMMIE
Bruh, your third paragraph contradicts itself. You claim he doesn't have credentials to state differences between the years... But then you turn around and STATE the differences yourself. Wtf? And yes, 2003 is the least desirable year. The only thing it has going for it is that fuel rail, that's it and is literally a $100 part to slap on a 04/05. Much rather spend $100 on a fuel rail and have a damn Quaife LSD. And also, the 2003 has the least desirable PCM that can't be reflashed once it bricks. The 04/05s can.
Plus, a 2005 Stage 3 ACR will be the most desirable car. Not your 2003. Sorry bud.
Scott Count The conversations I've had with tuners and aftermarket fuel systems was about the stage 0 pcm being easier to manipulate than those from '04-'05 and their S1 pcms. the injectors part I deleted cus obviously that was wrong. you need higher flow injectors to add more fuel for more boost. I apologise for that.
I am embarrassed about the fact that I was drinking while posting. I didn't finish the whole video. I thought I had but I re watched the video and noticed I missed a shit ton more content. I'm sorry about that. The video was better than I had originally seen.
Scott Count I retract my previous assessments on his topic points. I did embarrass myself there.
Scott Count Most SRT-4 owners I speak with on SRTFORUMS.COM prefer the S0 pcm for tunability. It's easier to trick.
The differences I listed that concurred with his weren't part of the credential lacking statement I made.
Scott Count Also most tuners of SRT-4s dont want the S3 mopar upgrades. They want the big turbo kits players like AGP offer. So I guess it as always relies on thw opinion of the owners who upgrade to big turbos, bigger than S3 mopar.
Would the TD05 Turbo kit bolt right on or do you need other parts to go with it?
You'll need bigger injectors, the exhaust manifold, and a tune for the new turbo and fuel. But other than that, a stage 3 turbo kit is basically bolt on parts
How much for your srt 👌🏽👌🏽
Sold it for 6k
Only 45k miles
You lost when you said a bone stock SRT-4 is not the holy grail.
Yes the fuck it is. I'd rather pay a 30% premium for an unmolested car than buy your touched-in-all-places ride.
Enjoy being slow then
