He probably sell it to you and bought another one more cheaper to save some money but still a good buy the srt4 is very clean
So many words to say about this video all I can do at this point is LMMFAO! 😂
this just happened to me as well. bought what i thought was a srt4. when i pull the vin its reg'd as and neon r/t. but has all the srt goodies minus the wing. also has a bws turbo, CAI, aftermarket downpipe. needs a power steering pump, possibly engine mounts. definetely a clutch fork as the clutch isnt fully disengaging. sucks ppl can be honest anymore
Ouch, yea that sucks. I did a Carfax to make sure I wasn't getting a conversion.
Easy fix. You can find a used 50 trim kit for less than 1200. I wouldn't be doing pulls on an eBay turbo. You can see if it has aftermarket cams by looking for adjustable cam gears. Also, since it's tuned for that eBay turbo I hope you have the tuner or else you gotta spend some money on the tuner and unmarrying the ecu
"Easy fix" and $1,200 doesn't go together on my book 😂 but yea I'm hoping my tuner will have some sympathy for me once I get the new setup. It may be a while. It does have cam gears. The mechanic told me it definitely has Cams, just wondering if the springs and retainers were done.
You have a Very Nice SRT-4! Take care of it!!!
I take care of all my stuff, she's in good hands now. Already been paint corrected and ceramic coated.
Damn man you got me sketched out now! Looking at an SRT in philly (5 hours from me) with 30k miles and a twin swap. I’ve reached out to MANY guys selling their SRT but most are either rude and don’t like me asking a ton of questions (makes sense considering all of them are 4+ hours away, I’m in VA) and this fella I’m talking to now is very open about his car and seems to know it but he hasn’t touched the trans. Sorry that dude ripped you off but there are good folks in the community. Don’t lose hope!
Oh yea man it's all good. She's much better now if you check my other videos. Good luck with your purchase!
I once sold a car to a guy who took credit for the complete build. A lot people who knew that car knew that i brought home a disaster of a project. He did get called for his unfounded version and realized he was wrong. I should have never sold that car because it turned out so nice. Not I have a nice baby turbo 05' PT Cruiser convert. At least the family who sold me the PT were upfront and honest with all the work that had been done and the work it still needs. Which gave me a budget to work with. Your SRT4 is one of my favorite cars on U-tube.
Thanks man! Deep down I want a PT Cruiser lol
Yea that blows,and a big reason why I dont have any interest in anyone elses project, if it isnt stock I wont give a car a second look.Then I dont have to worry about what they really did,and were there shortcuts taken etc.But like u said ,overall it's a clean car but a little more of a project than what u expected u were buying
Yea, for the most part. Then you have the people that "put it back to stock" before they sell it. You'd have to look real closely to find out if they really did.
Yep absolutely, that's another issue wen looking,its not easy and takes alot of effort and time to find a car.especially a specialty car
I’ll give his new car a visit , I know this man
Haha it's all good man I'm over it. I don't need an internet posse showing up starting anything lol. I've thought about taking the video down.
I was just kidding , was tryna cheer u up even tho this is 2 months old and pls don’t take down the video cause it gives people who are tryna buy cars
Some tips on what not to do. Cheers man and I’ll be watching ur videos now cause I’m a fan now :)
This must be the first car you ever bought. Everyone lies when selling their car. Protect yourself and learn before you throw your money. Other guy was dishonest but you only have yourself to blame.
I stopped at you wondering if it has stage 2 cams. I stopped feeling bad at that point. My eyes are still rolling.
Well you must be just like him. I've never lied selling any car. I have myself to blame for his dishonesty? Makes complete sense. No one's going to disassemble a 15 year old car to see if everything is what someone says it is. The cam thing was more of a joke, so you can bring your eyes back pal. Appreciate the wise words of advice.
Nope. I don’t. But you gotta assume everyone is. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, chubbs, stick to buying new cars.
That's what you get for buying a modded car bye someone else,smh
Same exact thing happened to me brother. Guy told me he HAD to sell it to buy a family car for his newborn baby. Sells it to me. Then find out rings are about shot and he bought another srt4 . karma will come around! Good thing we own 4 Srt4s and may know a thing or 2 about em 😜
🤦♂️ People man...
Yea, I had one for almost 10 years, this is my 2nd one. Know a considerable amount and have good connections.
While I personally do buy used autos, I grew up with my father’s mantra of “don’t buy someone else’s problem”. He wasn’t wrong: besides a vid like this, I bailed on my 03 SRT4 bc it became more trouble than it was worth. Now, in my defense, Quik’s point is valid: I wasn’t dishonest: I told the Pontiac dealership the problems I was having & the codes I was throwing: cam gear out of alignment or some such minor issue 😂 & personally worked with 2 different buyers on what DCR told me to try to tame the timing. Anyway, now it’s 10+ yrs later and that G8 GXP was a poor replacement for my Neon... I still miss the crank-down back windows of that tiny Mopar. Weird how life is sometimes, yanno? 😛
I still own the car i got screwed on. Its just built motor big turbo now 😅
What do you mean you people 😂😂😂
Hey man I’m looking at getting one in the very near future. Any tips from a new owner ?
Depends on if you want one modded or not. I knew I should've went stock and just built up, but even being as precautious as possible, there's still the chance of getting screwed. I'd look for wires being cut/taped around the wiring harness, map/tip sensors. Make sure it runs good. Check shifting in to 3rd gear, they are known to go bad. Make sure it doesn't pop out of the gear whole decelerating. Get a compression check done if you can.
Engine/trubo If it doesn't have a stock turbo I would do a compression test for sure, if stock turbo check to see if the heat shield is gone if so well it probably had a big turbo at one point. Check to see if map/tip/injector/ wires have been cut or modified. Oh yea.. .did i mention compression test lol its must
I see your comment was from 1 yr ago, but 10+ yrs on, the greatest car I ever owned was a Skittle, buuuuut... I’m still in the market and this may help: what the others said & I’d (personally) plan on a $1k teardown to be sure the critical bits are in the right place. This is before you even buy it. That’s a lot of $ to “shop around”, so I’d only even partially suggest this if you’re legit (that’s up to you) aaaaand if you wanna make sure the car is legit (only the seller really knows). Good luck & happy hunting!
Dude that sucks. Excited to see you build it though!
In a world with morals like today, a persons word means nothing..
It's sad but true.
For sure today. And yesterday. And last week. And 100 yrs ago and before that & yada yada. Point is: it happens; and it happened; and it will continue to happen. People gonna people! 😉
I had similar but mine had all new parts and brand name. Story was a popped head gasket cuz he plumbed turbo wrong and did a pull and it ate ALL the boost.
Get it home and blown motor and then you start to see the gremlins and short cuts.
I will never buy anyone's project again cuz ppl just can't be real. Besides after you go over every nut and bolt etc you might as well built it yourself.
Great vids and I too have a kitty killer finally. Best feeling when the shame comes across their face 🤣🤣
For sure! It just gets so hard to find one that hasn't been molested in some way. Congrats on the Kat killer status 💪
@@quixilver09 have you ran into anyone with a 10" rim?
Nope, I think 13s is the smallest.
@@quixilver09 haha I meant width
Hell, I don't think you're completely shit out of luck with it. It's a super clean car, has all gears, runs pretty good for a fleabay turbo, and the interior looks mint. Overall, seems like one hell of a strong foundation. Sucks he lied, but jokes on him, I'd say you ended up with a cleaner car.
Thanks bro, yea I'm trying to look at all the positives.
Ikr? I couldn’t tell speedo, but seemed to pull legit? Was that wheelspin in 2d?... even if that’s not a great sign, well at least it isn’t a bad sign lol.
I know this is a year old, but you can tell if it's cammed just by the idle sound... It might be a bit hard to tell if it's "stage 1" cams, but Crower's
"Stage 2" cams have quite a bit of overlap, so you can definitely tell it's cammed by the idle lope..., Unless the timing is so far advanced that it smoothes out the idle. But it probably would take so much timing to do so that it more than likely wouldn't run...
I'm just now seeing this comment lol. It's all in the tune honestly. I have stg 3 cams that idle like stock.
I got fucked to brother bought a srt 4 always wanted one couldn't pass up on deal.and 2weeks later head gasket blew now I got the car I always wanted parked in my garage with blown headgasket ima fix it but was lied to saying the car was good content coming soon on my srt 4 as well stay tune
Ha! One of the reasons we became friends Luke lol. Our love for the car and passion for making them what we have made them.
Who are you again lol forgive me
Just saw this channel still on the art build?
Art build?
Srt
Yes sir, just haven't had a video in a few weeks. Definitely a lot more after this one though. Check em out. Just finally beat a a hellcat.
@@quixilver09 bc c’mon...... we’re waiting. Lol
Never buy a modded used srt4, ever. They're one of the most beat cars on the market and everyone lies about whats done to em. Hold out and find a lower mile all stock with original papers.
I knew that, but the overall condition and low miles sold me on this one. It's all better now if you see my new videos.
Build it man.. that kind of shit always happens,dont sweat it.
Yea, it just sucks being lied to. Gonna have fun building it though. Give me more of a sense of pride.
What a punk, you sound so disappointed and sad.. what an awful guy to lie to you like that, I’m so sorry
Go mazda 6 automatic. Unsung hero. This joyride is cute, but there will be problems and buyers remorse... you deserved better though, much love to an honest man. Cars are all lies from stealership to body shop, from insurance to warranties.
You know I have a Mazda 6 right? Lol
I know. Thats why i want to know, has daily driver lived up to expectation and want to see clips of that car too as well as are you happy with it, or just ok.
@@387033 I'll do my honest review of the car, so far, it's hard not to find something I don't like about it.
Mazda 6. That's adorable.
Sounds good !
You can’t trust no one these days, Shame from the car community.
It really is sad.
Man that sucks Luke. I was thinking about that when you bought the car. I am actually looking into a Focus ST, and my biggest fear is what did the previous owner do or not do properly or cheap. But your right, on the bright side, got a cool project car you can choose what goes in.
It's always a thought in the back of your mind, you just never really know.
That sucks man he seemed like a nice guy in the video
Yea he did
What was wrong with it when you bought it besides the eBay parts? Check engine light? If so, what codes? I bought mine from a guy just like you, he lied and when I drove it off home check engine light comes on for p1187 code. I texted him and asked him about it and he replied “oh that never happened to me”. Now that light is on, it’s for map sensor I replaced it and it’s still on .. don’t know why at this point, any suggestions?
Looks like that's for the oil temp sensor. It's located below the turbo on the block. Try replacing that.
Good to know
Sounds like some shit a Honda owner from Orlando Fiebre would do 🤦🏽♂️
I hate when people lie. I’ve gotten screwed a few times. Idk why I trust people I just see no reason for them to lie about a car I buy. I have a second Srt4 I brought and the evo. I won’t sell either because I know what’s done to them at this point.
Yea same here brother.
you win some, you loose some. its all good karma will get him and his new SRT 4 will take a S**t on him
Yea man, and stay tuned for the next video, all his handy work has been fixed and upgraded! Or check out my Instagram @quixilver09
Can u post how u change the turbo or other parts for the srt4 !! If you i will for sure be watching 👀 🙂 👍
When it comes to turbos I leave it to my man JohnnyBoost
Almost the complete opposite of this happenrd to me I bought one for three grand in Nashville Tennessee looked like a shitbox on the exterior had Raceland coilovers which I didn't like but the engine had quality good parts like an AGP kit HKS blow off turbo valve bunch of Turbonetics, forged internals sone DCR Heavy Duty clutch now I just got to get this body work right got to make it look like yours and in the long run we'll probably end up spending the same money it's all relative man the s*** is freaking fast though and even though I haven't got toinstall all the parts I bought I've done a few rips in it. PS I hate half ass wiring too looks crappy and it's dangerous
Amen brother! Check out some of the newer videos, we've had our ups and downs, but she's solid! At least we got one and are doing our part to keep these babies alive and healthy!
@@quixilver09 agreed and hell yeah keep posting I'll keep watching
Who sold you it?
Mine has rattles to I hate it lol. Stock is best honestly. And ya you really need to go into these things with knowledge.
Well, I had knowledge about the cars, just not the GT3076R turbo. I didn't even think that it would be fake.
You seem like a good guy
Thanks, I try! Check out my latest videos, it's come a longggggg way!
You got this man 👍
The turbo flutters easily 😔sorry to hear this
It's coming off next week anyway and a precision 5731 is going on 👍
U gotta watch those car salesman.lol
He wasn't a car salesman 🤔
@@quixilver09 it was a joke.bcuz u were in the car buisness b4.😂
Sounds so good damn
You look like Austin St.John (the original red power ranger) lol
Haven't heard that one before lol
Bro that suck but you have to realize that you still have a pretty good vehicle and no lie I’m a little jealous lol I wish I had your car but not what you paid for it sorry bro but you should unload POV videos of the car you just driving it car sound good
Last vid you said you paid 7,850 sounds good to me man it’s a beautiful car
Branditz or Banditz is the guys last name? I remember when that car was for sale, looked legit...You give around 7 or 8 for it?
Yep.
I figured so...I think you still got a relatively good deal...
@@7travnasty971 Yea, which is why I stated that in the video. It just sucks to be lied and cheated.
Definitely lied about the hp too, not trying to sound cocky or sound like an asshole but mine makes 401whp and pulls so much harder. Those Chinese turbos don’t spoil until about 5000rpm
Oh yea I can definitely tell. It's prolly mid 300's right now. And the 500 hp was a bit click baity on my part haha. Need some headwork and e85 before I get close. Well, now, a new turbo, downpipe, exhaust Manifold...😂
What setup you run?
quiXilver09 I get you lol I’m running stock bottom end, Precision 5831 , log turbo manifold, balance chained removed, 1000cc injectors, act stage 3 clutch, aem wideband, boomba fuel rail and quite a few other things like the catch can I have a few videos up on Instagram, car pulls real nicely. Gt500 won’t touch it.
Mine makes just under 500 on 91 pump gas. It's on full bolt ons and a Garrett 50 trim turbo with supporting fuel mods such as 1000cc injectors and a walboro 250 fuel pump.
So what’s the real horse power
Gonna get it dynoed soon, check out the latest video
Do u have a mopar plate or BOV?
Hes on a ebay gt3076r turbo so probably not mopar plate
Yea sorry I never saw this, HKS BOV.
What people do with the money is their business let it go
This was 2 years ago, pretty sure I let it go. I don’t care what people do with their money, I care when they are liars.
Until it happens to you. Smh
Sucks to hear the story. I'm sure you'll have it exactly where you want it. Wish you luck!
Yea man, got it running good now and some things tied up nicely. Just ran it down the track 5 times with no issues. Love it!
It's not there big of a deal. Cars running and you decided to buy it without any input. But still sucks he lied but don't see to big of a problem here
Mike Savich you mustn’t have been ripped off before
I did state at the beginning of the video that it wasn't the end of the world, it just sucks to get lied to. I also did have input. Couple educated friends and it was being worked on by a well known srt4 mechanic. It all seemed too good to be true.
How much horsepower does it make on that turbo
Honestly don't know yet. It's probably high 300's right now modestly tuned.
Not bad you should do a dyno vid bro that would be dope
@@irwingrivas541 Yea I will once I get a real turbo on there.
If ur going to get a new dowepipe with a cut out go with needswings.com
Yes sir! Used to have one on my old SRT. This time w/e cutout
@@quixilver09 u like the qtp open downpipe? My buddy had one and it was trash and he ended up getting the needswings and mpx 3inch 02 housing
@@Yeptturbo6969 no, needswings with the electric cutout. I have a custom fab 3" O2 already
Sorry I had my acronyms messed up lol
