lookin good, I really like that shifter! How did those light bulbs work out for you, btw?

Post by **racer12306** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 10:39 pm

I am going to try to put one in tomorrow (friday) nite. If I can't, then I am aiming for monday or tuesday.

Well, since I was working on my shifter until 1:30a I didn't get to the lights. However the shifter shines. I am very happy with the way it came out. I would almost call it a mirror finish. I'll post some pics on or before monday.

I put the green light in the gauge. It looks really good. Thanks again Andrew.

My pleasure. That looks greener in the pic than mine did

I am glad you like them though!

Looks good!

In my design class I have been learning Pro Engineer. So I figured I would try to model the adapters that I made, as well as make drawings.

Post by **racer12306** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 10:23 am

I was able to model the T-Handle adapter as well, but I have to get that from school again as I lost my flash drive.

But I did get a new injector cover from Scott. So his car will live on through mine

It's been a while since I've had any updates. I forgot to post this from a while ago.

This is my BWoody catch can setup.

You are very unique with your car. always doing little things to make it functio / run better but keeping it as close to stock as possible.

Post by **racer12306** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 7:21 pm

That has been my main goal all along.

The most radical thing I may do is a 2.4 SOHC with MS.

Finally have a little update. I debadged the car since the dummy at the detail place chipped one of the D's.

PS. Don't go to soundwaves in prospect park, pa

I like it man, looks grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

I think it is time for a new shift knob.

Someone posted about SRT-4 shift knobs from billet technology. I really like the looks of them. I was going to get one from pizzaboy a while back, but he didn't do engraving anymore.

So I have to make a new adapter for the M8x1.25 thread and when I have $50 extra, I'll buy it.

I hear a good wash/wax will take care of that fairly well...

Post by **racer12306** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 10:22 pm

pretty much. wash, clay, wash and wax and i bet any hint of badges will be gone

Bump.

Post by **racer12306** » Wed May 12, 2010 7:29 am

Put a new battery in it a couple months ago because it sat so long the other one died. It read 2.6V when I took it in for warranty.

I think that's about it.

Shoot me some desire and some spare money and it will be a much more enjoyable thread.

He cleaned it....

Post by **racer12306** » Wed May 12, 2010 8:34 pm

It's been a while since I cleaned it. And it wasn't even a good solid cleaning, just a quick exterior wash.

And yet it's still nicer than 3/4 of the shit that's paraded as a "show car" on this site. Congrats, Frank.

Updates?

Post by **racer12306** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 1:38 pm

Can't see the pic at work but,

No updates other than it's dirty as can be inside and out.

and someday will be full of lolipops and other sticky candies shoved in the seats

And melted crayons.

The girls probably won't ride in it too much just because of space.

And with a little luck the guy that bought the Monte from me last year will let me know when he's ready to sell it and I'll have the money to buy it back from him. The Neon would have to go with that situation.

Post by **racer12306** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 10:55 am

Let’s see...

The Neon returned to daily driver status in October 2015. Since then I’ve added over 50k miles. Currently sits at about 160k total miles.

Still dirty.

I did add this the other weekend though. I’ve had the phone mount for a while but added the Bluetooth receiver. Gutted out the vent so the phone mounts grips better. Really nice seemless setup that plugs into my USA Spec (iirc) adapter so I have Bluetooth through the speakers for calls and audio.
