1995 Dodge Stealth TT 25k original miles - To mod or not?

[Peter 95TT]

Hey guys,

April of this year I bought a '95 Dodge Stealth TT with 23.5k original miles on it. I thought about keeping it bone stock given the low mileage and mint condition, but at the same time I just don't know what to do. What is Your guys' opinion..........?

Intelligently modify it....Make it better while still keeping it stockish. Improve the shortcomings of a stock car without really over thinking it.

Better suspension, better brakes, better sidemount IC's, Evo MR bov, clean boost controller install, etc.

^^^^^ THIS!!!!

Thats pretty much how my car is setup and I cant complain at all. Get a downpipe FOR SURE. Stock catback/gutted cat/downpiped cars sound AMAZING. If you get a catback, dont skimp, get something that fits PERFECT and looks GOOD. The DR750's would be a good option seeing as how they are 100% bolt on and support crazy horsepower. Even if you only ran 15 psi your car would be a rocket.

If you dont want to drop 2500 on a set of brakes I suggest getting a bit more aggressive brake pad and stainless lines along with the Caliper stiffening bolts from Supercar Engineering. I have the stiffening bolts on both my 3/S's and its probably my favorite mod for the price.

EVO IX BoV's can be had for less than 100 dollars shipped, I recommend them, I have one, its nice.

Keep up on maintenance. I suggest, with the low miles and relatively old age, to get the oil analyzed before you start to mod it. Look up Blackstone Laboratories and have them send you a test kit. They send it free, then you just send a check with the sample in the mail. They e-mail and snail mail you your results. I had the biggest relief after finding out my engine was in PRIMO shape after my first analysis considering I am the 5th owner over the cars 85000 mile life. Its worth 30 dollars to find out your engines health before you drop 5 grand on the motor only to spin a bearing 1k miles later. That sort of thing has happened dozens of times to members here.

One other thing. The people here are very knowledgeable about tasteful mods and what and what not to do with our cars. Ask questions, do research, you should be happy with your final product and we just want to help you make that a reality

DR750s. I assume you bought it to enjoy, not just to sit in your garage and look at?

What do you recommend for brakes. brembo brake systems? and where do you get better sidemount IC Thanks

If i had a super low mileage car and wanted to keep it appearing stock to someone who wouldnt know any better i would do the following assuming i wanted to keep it stock-ish power.

-Brembo brakes up front(will fit behind stock 18" wheels) with silver calipers unless the stealth is red, then id do the calipers in red f/r with slotted rear rotors.
-ACPT 1pc carbon driveshaft
-DSM sidemounts or do it right and have a pair custom made using Bell cores and end tanks.
-IPS shorty downpipe w/o front precat delete and random tech highflow cat.
-IPS gen2 quad tip
-Tien S springs on ECS struts
-Evo MR bov and remove the counter weight on the 6spd trans to not have to haggle with fitment issues of any BOV
-K&N intake
-EBC of your choice installed in center console out of sight out of mind, set to 15psi
-hotwire stock pump to make sure you have plenty of fuel, or do a denso at stock voltage.
-Tint the windows
-5k HID's fogs and low's

/Done

That i think would be the perfect "what it should have been in 95" setup w/o really making anything complicated or non reversible, just makes whats great about a stock one of these cars better.

just want to make it perform better

I'd just stare at it while it sat in my garage, then buy a higher mileage one to modify
