Jeep SRT8 - Finally Got One Of My Fave Cars Ever -

So, after receiving deep scratches on the back of ther SRT8 from god knows where, I needed to get it resprayed... and what a job he's done paint.. a 100% paint match as far as his and my eyes go... which is tough with metalic silver... so made up... however the question is... do I leave it de-badged or do I put the SRT8 and 6.1L badges back on?

I'm 60/40 for putting them back on but the crappy JEEP badge is staying off from the centre... what do people think?

Also, replaced all my interior lighting with my usual red LED lighting... don't ask, I just love red lighting :cry:

Last thing, I'll be removing the licence plate surround when the private plate comes soon... and just having the yellow onto the silver... something about that black holder that screams tragic...

Leave it debadged it always looks better.
Yeah I do like it smooth... but...
Badges on. We've grown up :cry:
... I also like the badges on it as people kinda like them as they haven't a clue what it is normally...
I'm wondering how much to fill this behemoth? £150 for 250 miles of smiles?
... err a lot as as it runs on 99 Octane due to the tune... generally from flashing petrol light, we're looking £130 at the minute... and it's averaging 14.1mpg...
I'd be tempted to go with the SRT8 badge.
... and I did this afternoon... something just said it needs them... slightly to open on the rear...
 
For some reason I thought the tank would be bigger. Is it around 75L?
Think it's 70ltr actually... yeah it's not that bigger tank for the size of the thing... I was surprised, they say it's an 80 litre tank but that's horsecrap as mine's been on fumes and the most I can get in is 70, so not sure why the stats say 80... not a chance...
 
Just picked up these from the states... basically the SRT8 front differential bushing sets. The factory OEM don't last long and I've noticed the slight front "thud" when changing say from reverse or 1st and 2nd... which is the tell tale sign of movement in the diff (which probably means a little movement in the CV's as well) and is a known "problem"... so, as per usual, to not let anything sit... ordered, came yesterday and will be fitting these. Poly bushes no OEM for Big Ern so they'll basiclaly last forever and good for 700WHP as well so, you know they can take the power. Now it's just fitting them hahaha

lol you chaps are bonkers. I got 11mpg on a quick trip to COOP earlier in my car - that was a very short trip. I imagine you boys are talking 11mpg motorway lol :D
 
14 mpg; I got 11 mpg on my 5.7 hemi from Glasgow to Newcastle I do miss it but I was a ton a week on fuel going to work
Yeah, if I start motoring, it's in single digits... which is getting ridiculous so I prefer not to, it's averaging 14.2mpg on the clock, how accurate this is I don't know... but I know this, when I reset it and was putting foot down it didn't hit 10... so... I kinda save my "foot down action" hahaha

Are you sure that tank capacity isn't converted from US gallons
