$34,000 invested, plus the original cost of the neon.... unfortunately customer/friend knows hes not going to get near that and is a motivated seller More like " Fortunately the customer knows he isn't going to get that." you cant build this again for less than 50k Um yeah, you could easily do it, i...

Did some work cleaning up the dash frame and HVAC ducts. I have to move the wire harness over to the clean frame. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49386842983_159840acc6_b.jpg IMG_20200114_185022445 by occasional demons , on Flickr I seen something on TV the other night about how difficult it is ...

OEM quality is tough to get with those sort of aftermarket pieces, especially for the cost. Making it look good is one thing, (design excluded here) but to have it still look good 5 years down the road is another. Granted, the neon's oem headlights were nothing to brag about, but aftermarket isn't a...

Here in Ohio, you don't necessarily need to repair anything to make the salvage title an R title. As long as it is in safe road condition, it doesn't need to be fixed. Granted this is for stuff like being side swiped, where the cosmetic damages were too costly to repair, or a ton of hail damage. My ...

neons.org and 2gn.org are teaming up to bring one large event to celebrate 25 years of neons at the 2020 Chrysler nationals in Carlisle, PA. This event is for anyone from any car club or group, just be a neon enthusiast! You dont even have to drive a neon, just have a love for them!! We be doing th...

Oh yeah, something arrived the other day...

The tails kind of tie in the CF pieces. I like them as far as that goes. Those reverse lights should be an upgrade over the stock ones, especially if you put some decent LED bulbs in there. Cool to get an idea how much it weighs. I think it's cool they weighed it, and didn't just usher you on your w...

I am working on a template to make a bracket that will bolt to the pedal frame, and the cutout part, to position it exactly how it needs to be in the cutout hole. Details to follow later... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49364268978_3b1f7c2eac_b.jpg IMG_20200110_181159394 by occasional demons ...

To use the 2001 to 2005 hydraulic clutch in the 2000 body. 2000 MY pedals were unique to 2000, making finding the pedal set up now like finding a needle in a haystack. I messaged a few of the eBay sellers that were selling the 2000 MTX's if they had the pedal assy's, and possibly the clutch cable, b...

So I did some more comparing what needs to be cut. I traced the hydro section onto the cable firewall, and mounted the hydro pedals to the firewall. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49359418751_4c122895d3_b.jpg IMG_20200109_190641740 by occasional demons , on Flickr The pedals clear everything wi...

The irony is I have a set of winter tires that are like new from my '01 that I may never use, because I really don't want to have to drive my neons in the salt if I don't have to. That's why I got the Subaru as the "sacrificial anode"... It just had a jihad doe charge the Subie on Sunday. It took it...

Probably not enough width difference to really impact things. Depending on the tread design, and amount of wear, it might make hydroplaning happen slightly sooner. The only two things that seriously impact tire grip is deep water, slush, snow, and tread wear. Just wet pavement will make a difference...

Aren't overseas neons all Chryslers? Pretty sure everything RHD is. In the parts catalog, all RHD stuff is designated "Z" for Chrysler, so the wrong items don't get inadvertently ordered. The badging didn't bother me on my '01, but then being PS2, it didn't really stand out. I would hate to have to ...

i havent met many people in real life who actually prefer the new face of chevy... Getting people to borrow that kind of cash, either leasing or buying, on something that doesn't 100% appeal to them is proving to be a tough sell. It's one thing buying a used vehicle for a beater, because if you rea...

On looks alone, the Ram is pure sex compared to either the GM line up, or the Ford.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48945190952_f4a3c3a3bb_h.jpg This picture is a bit misleading. It is not a 2001 up panel grafted into a 2000. It is the cut out in the car it came from. I always wondered, since the color matched so well. Notice how straight the vertical bend is on the 2000. http...

Yeah, everything will be disassembled and sterilized in the dash. I'm not even sure I want to take that HVAC module apart.

The one from the '01 is definitely replacing it.

Yummy! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49301898988_668f7b959c_k.jpg IMG_20191229_155850748[1] by occasional demons , on Flickr One minor difference that isn't mentioned: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49301899553_28f0b376c0_k.jpg IMG_20191229_164439830[1] by occasional demons , on Flickr Th...

Maybe look into virtual credit card numbers with your bank, to see if they offer that feature. One time use, and it is no longer valid. It is still linked to your account, so they get paid, but they can't go back and make more charges with that number. It is a small hassle setting up a number each t...

I kept the Cherokee for 16 years. I sold it for $1000 when we bought the house, and I didn't really have a place to keep it. I could have gotten more, but I needed to make it disappear.

Meh, I don't even have my pizza delivered. At least if it's made wrong, I don't have to wait another 45 minutes to get it. Standard delivery around here is 40 to 45 minutes, and it only takes 10 minutes to make it, so that means it's been sitting for over a half hour before I get it. It only takes m...

The only new post Chrysler Corp vehicle I bought new was my '99 XJ, which was essentially just a CC leftover sold by DCX. Will see how things play out when the time comes I have to buy another new vehicle. For all I know it could be another 20 years. If they even let the general public own their own...

Happy Holidays!

It is interesting. I wonder how well they compare to a Miata, or (non convertible) BRZ. I don't know that I would buy a convertible. Been there, done that. I loved everything about the car, other than the convertible part. Granted things have improved a lot over the years, as far as the sound contro...

You will gain a bit of power up top but that is about it. Probably where those "ten horsepower" are gained, at or near the rev limit. If it was 10 ft lbs of torque from say 1800 to 4500 rpm, it would actually be noticeable, and maybe even improve efficiency. Protecting the shift cables was one of m...

Paint it. You know you want to.

Tam's blue Rustoleum paint roller paint job FTW!

Edit: Sexy Durango BTW. Congrats!

So I stop where your lists begins with "Fuel Lines"? Thank you for the post! Correct. Given the main fuel line runs in with the brake line bundle, I figured I would include that, since it would be right in the mix. I don't see there being any real issue, unless DCX went cheap after 2001. The ones i...

Do not include the zero at the beginning of the PN. I'm not going through them and deleting all of the zeros.

Yeah, the rockers on the JY head might need some time to get back into running shape, from sitting for ??? who knows how long. At the worst, you might need to swap the rockers from your original head over. Just be careful that the swivels on the ends of the lash adjusters are intact on them all. I w...

Coil connector is the one with the dark green/orange wire in the center, just to be sure. It wouldn't have fired up at all to begin with if the connectors were swapped. Cranking funny doesn't sound good, but hopefully it is just the lash adjusters being out of sorts from sitting. I would try pulling...
