The engine package is pretty tight, and I'm thinking your mom prolly didn't beat on it and load it up with el cheapo ricer go fast stuff. So, it would be a fun cruiser. The PTs are quite a bit heavier than the Neon SRT4 so it won't be as quick, but I'd use it as is and have fun.

Hanging out sounds cool, but I dunno about being in a boat...ubg never had really good sea legs! But eh, there are worse things in life than chumming, right?

If you look at post 29, I answered you. I don't have the car in my possession yet, it is getting the wheels and intercooler powder coated, and a leaky headlight fixed. I will get picts once the car is in my possession.

Bob-
Intercooler powder coated? It will look cool but doesn't that defeat some of the purpose?

Nah, a thin coat of powder isn't going to hurt anyrhing. I could see if it was too thick on the tubes and restricted airflow, but a lot of OEMs coat their intercoolers right from the factory. It is just like painting a car radiator. Too thick on the paint and there will be airflow issues and overheating. A thin cosmetic coat and all will be well.

It's all about heat transfer, not airflow. Powdercoat will reduce transfer but will look good while doing it!

Should use a speical paint for it, powder coating will hinder the cooling abilities some.

Who cares if it costs a few hp? I don't think he's building a race car. Car guys can get so caught up in chasing the last few %%% that in the big pic don't matter at all. Bob, do what you want!!!!!!

If I lose a few ponies I will just crank up da boost. And anywho, all the intercooled Procharger systems I have dealt with since 1996 have had powder coated intercoolers, so if it works for them it works for me!

Congrats on the new toy Bob! My buddy at Showcase just sent me a pic of something that just arrived for you. 
I'm not big on the little SUV styling, but I do appreciate the Caliber for its quirkyness and the fact that it is an SRT. have fun!

Certainly not, it was Chryslers designers that lacked style (Avenger, Caliber, Compass etc  ) UB is already improving the Calibers looks with the rims, etc... (Hoping I dodged that one  )

Caliber srt wasn't sooooo bad on looks...wish it came w/awd in a little potent powerhouse like that. Couple of my friends at the srt neon when it first came out..never did get a ride in one but they were quick stats wise....i just couldn't get over the rear rollup windows in the neon's w/only the fronts being power...wtf.
All black srt caliber, p/c'ed rims in black and i'd polish the intercooler myself...tint and your set for a nice daily.

T/A Dan is the cheapest man on the planet, and the only taste he has is in his mouth. I value his opiniom about as much as I value a 3 dolla bill with Slick Willy Clinton's pict on it!

They say you can't buy taste. I don't want to take the financial risk to find out.

Getting photos out of UBG is like trying to get raw footage of inside North Korea, is very few, and grainy, and takes months for it to leak onto the net.

UPDATE! My guy FINALLY got power and is up n running, and as per our conversation today he is getting onto my wheels and I/cooler. And as El Cheepo Dan pointed out, I have a couple or 3 goodies for the car at my bud's body shop, so yaz prolly won't get any picts until it's "done." But I do have a catchy name for the build: PROJECT: WARWAGON!!!
