Default wel i think its official

well i think im gonna be turning the red r/t back to mostly stock......i had to get the car towed home earlier due to some kind of trans problem...from the looks of it, the fly wheel broke....dont know how it happened or why...
but i think i would be happier if the car was just a slight bit tweeked, but nothing major...
i think i will put the car in the garage as soon as i get a motor swap in a ram done, and then start ripping the car all apart....
anything you guys might find of interrest, then just let me know and i will see how it goes in the next week or so

Transmission job isn't that bad of a job man, throw a new one in and get some use out of the car I know your probably sick of the car but hey the thing is as much of you as any part of your body is.....

But if you must axe it, How much for the whole car, or whole car minus transmission and engine? or your DOHC Enginewith or without turbo? Maybe your R/T will be home to my Hemi....lol

i know a trans job is nothing major....ive had the motor and tranny out of this car atleast a dozen times
i wouldnt be able to sell the engine because i would probally keep the car but it would just be mostly stock......
i have been thinking about selling the car as a whole.....but i honestly dont think i would be able to do that to it....
if i do go through with this, then i will probally be selling:
srt4 turbo with oil feed line
srt4 rear section
srt4 catalytic convertor
mopar plate style blow off valve
autometer pro comp ultra lite air/fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge
srt4 boost gauge
acr koni struts (these are gonna go weather i part the car or not)
walboro external 255lph fuel pump
in tank fuel pump with walboro 255lph pump module and modded for a return line
agp adjustable waste gate
intercooler pipeing
srt4 intercooler
7/8" rear sway bar
all suspension parts with the prothane suspension bushings
prothane motor mount bushings
begi fuel pressure regulator
and a bunch of other stuff

i know that i would keep the mopar high rate springs, crane #14 cams, crane valve springs, BC titanium retainers, hurst short throw shifter and maybe the phantom grip...but im not sure

if i do go through with this, then i will make a for sale post in a week or so....i just dont wanna do sumthing that im gonna wanna kick my own *** for....i just need to dig into it and check it all out...
im just getting tired of working on this car ALL the time....

I like my close to stock ACR more than my modded 97 Highline. I think you would be happier in the end. Part it out, make some money back and be happy.

ps...Congrats on the new MOD status
