Welcome

I think I may have seen that car a couple times around town in Johnstown. It did sound like it had a blower on it.

No it will not void the warranty.

Welcome to the Stratus club. Check out www.stratusphere.us and www.2gstratus.org Both are really good Stratus forums. I got my 04 Stratus Labor Day weekend. Other than being big and slow it is a great car driving car and I think the 01+'s are some of the best looking cars out on the roads. Car just needs the 6.1L HEMI and call it the Charger. I can dream that is what they will look like.

Do it on something your interested in so you already know were to get the info.

I have even heard of car companies watching stuff like that for people that void there warrenty by taking it to the track.

I saw a Silver one at the LoneStar on Main Street on the East side about 2 weeks ago.

With it being an auto, first mod you will want to do is put in a standard. You can pick one up for a Neon for around $25-$50. Grab the rest of the stuff and the whole project cost is maybe $250 and a weekend to do the swap. Look on www.neons.org for the write up of the directions and parts list. Many, many people have done this swap. There are 2 transmission you can get the 3.55 will give you better gas milage and 3.94 is the performance transmission. Either trans can be in any model of Neon so you just need to look.

Swaping in a 2.4 from the Stratus is a good swap. Most of the performance parts that fit the 2.0 will fit the 2.4. An SRT-4 turbo 2.4 engine would be good and they are many that have putt them in the 1st gen Neons. I have talked to a few that have picked up the turbo 2.4 from junk yards for around $500. The thing is being there when the car comes in. A real find is finding the turbo 2.4L they put in the 1st gen Stratus'. They were only available in the Mexician models. They put down around 280 hp from the factory. I have one in my garage right now that is being rebuilt. With the stage 2 turbo I am putting on it I am hoping to put down around 340-350hp. My plains is to put this in my 97 Neon I just got a couple weeks back for $200 with a dead engine. [ 02. November 2004, 01:56 PM: Message edited by: punkrocker3_00 ]

I heard about this a couple weeks ago. I do think it is a bad move for Ford. They need to keep the bar high with the performance cars both Chevy and Dodge are coming out with in the next couple years. This will come back to bite Ford very quickly if they don't correct this soon.

I agree also that there cars are very over priced. I live in Johnstown and drive by there lot at least 2 times a day and the cars really don't change to much there. I know they have had a green eclipse up front for almost a year now. At one time I had found this picture of a civic they had for sale that had a hugh wing on it and to top it off it was installed backwards. The picture was taken on the side of the building were they have there name painted on the side.

Well come to the board. I also live in Johnstown. I drive a 04 dark red Dodge Stratus SXT Coupe. Good to see a few more people from Johnstown post on here.

To answer most of your problems, you people need to either use Turbo Tax or go to H&R Block. Each person will have a different result. If you are married and you file speratly, you both must match in how you itemize. If you do not itemize your taxes and you are married, you basically won't change how much you will get filing married filing jointly or filing seperatly. And for the person that is getting married in November. It is not what your status is for most of the year, it is what your status is on December 31. If you happen to have a kid on December 31, yeap you get to take the deduction for the whole year. Works the same on your marriage status.

Here is the link for the Reformatory Ghost Hunts http://www.mrps.org/index2.html

I have never been to an OSU game but I have heard they are pretty good. They normally are not that crowded until later in there season. But with no Jackets games, I bet the OSU games will be packed.

I went up on Sept. 10 for one of there ghost hunts. Not the fake people trying to scare you stuff, but just us in the reformatory searching for stuff. We got a lot of good pictures. I am planning on going again next year.

It is over on Saturday night.

I miss it also. But this is never going to get resolved unless the players and owners meet. They haven't met for over a month now. I am betting that the season will be cancelled, which will suck. Just when the Jackets seem to have things starting to turn there way and maybe win some games, this happens.

Call the Licking County Humane Society. They have a clinic once a month. $33 for male or female cats. I have had both a male and female done with them and they do a great job. Only thing is they don't keep the cats over night like most vets do. You drop them off and they give you a call to come pick them up when they wake back up that day. Just when you get them home give them a nice small place to hang out with out anything to jump up on. But like I said they do a great job and it is a great price. We just had our female done about a month ago. Males they normally can get in right away, females it may be a couple months. Here is the link to there website... http://homewardboundpets.org/spay.html

Protecting law enforcement, did you see they even showed you what you needed to remove to tear off a back axle on a Vic with a cable. j/k

Welcome, I live in Johnstown and I am in Newark/Heath area a lot. Dark Red Stratus Coupe. It is only one I have seen in the area so far thank God.
