What is that x shaped thing attached to the rear bumper?

SpitterGuy · Mar 4, 2003

it's a WHEELIE BAR! Helps the car keep it's feet on the ground when going at high speed. Also used for rear wheel draggers to keep them from popping up too much from start-off.

Thats what I thought it was . but why does a front wheel drive car need a wheely bar? is it the torque from the engine that would lift the front end or is it spaciffically for high speed areo?

With front drag cars, they have front hard shock settings while the rear has medium to soft to help the launch. The wheelie bars to help keep the car from launching back on a non-drive wheel line.

Is this a new SRT-4 and now a drag car?

SpitterGuy · Mar 4, 2003

No, they've had it for a while, even before the SRT's came out.

How this connected to the hood? Does it have a small tube?[/img]

spcforker · Mar 5, 2003

artical said you COULD use a number of things. this one I believe used like 2" weatherstriping from an old car door or something

hemidakota · Mar 5, 2003

So you are implying that the top of the air cleaner touches the bottom of hood?

NoisufnoC · Mar 5, 2003

that air cleaner box looks too clean cut...i'm thinking theres going to be a kit out...

Samel_Camel · Mar 5, 2003

There's no kit. Anyone who owns an SRT-4, look at the top of your airbox. The circle is STAMPED into the plastic from the back side! It's a perfect 3" diameter hole....

NoisufnoC · Mar 5, 2003

hey i didn't know, but thats awesome the hole's basically one step from being pre-cut

hemidakota · Mar 5, 2003

The next stupid question, then is that part of the hood (above the airbox) functional? I would hate to cut it and find out afterwards.

Nope, it's there only to be cut.
