I made a mistake, 'nuff said. My apologies Gramps

you could try stuffing a magnaflow turbo muffler under it, there are several sizes. I don't have the srt rear section but I did have a magnaflow muffler meant for a Camaro with dual outlets put in the stock location. Love the sound of magnaflow! not too loud but gets louder when ya get on it. GL wit...

this is useful info for daily driving. I don't autox or anything but do run the curvy backroads. Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

yup Gramps we

uuuummm, this was not spam. it was intended to sincerely wish everyone happy new year.

Happy New Year to the entire 2gn family. Wishing everyone a prosperous year.

Thanks guys for the input. He told me the soft line would need to be replaced as well. I have no experience with brake issues and wanted input from those that do. Thanks again Merry Christmas to all at 2gn.

The guy at the brake shop is telling me I need a right front caliper. I see no evidence of it but he is the "Professional". The brakes pads are wearing even, the rotor is not warped and shows no evidence of bluing. The steering does not pull under braking and there is no evidence of leakage. Is ther...

I agree with Bill. my 2000 ES MTX did this when the torque struts went. I thought the trans was toast, but I lucked out. The struts were much less expensive. yippeee

I hate to be cliché but try replacing the gas cap. If that doesn't fix it there is a how to on here to further address that problem. Try the search button. Most times it seems the O ping on the cap shrinks or is slightly torn and leaks, also inspect the fuel filler neck for rust and pin holes.

The 2gn Neons do sit high in the back. Doubtful it has anything to do with the alignment. But if you haven't done it yet, add a 4 wheel alignment to your to do list. While they are in there have them check the steering rack for play, and the front lower control arm bushings along with the ball joints.

Rock auto has the MOOG LCA's for 3 bucks cheaper than those you are looking at. Just a heads up.

I get this code sometimes on my 2000 ES< mostly when the tank is 1/4 full or less. There was a how to somewhere on here about how to fix it. You need a hose that goes from the ldp to the tank to fix it iirc. the hose is obsolete and you can get a pt cruiser pvc hose as a replacement, again if I can ...

sounds like a plan to me. I missed the rebuild when I read your post before. 20k on the build speaks for the quality of the build as long as there are no unusual noises or smoke. Good Luck with the car when you snag it.

The line mechanically should be no big deal to change, just be sure to install new O rings when it's changed out. This is not really a job for the average home mechanic. Once the system has been open to the air, a vacuum needs to be pulled on the system before new R-134a is put in. The air in the sy...

Just my 2 cents. Personally I would buy it. Not sure of the cost to rebuild the tranny, but again, to ME it would be worth it. There is an SRT near me that seems a better deal tho. It has only 121,000miles. Also has cosmetic problems, needs both front fenders. The car is red and looks well maintaine...

This happened with my 2000ES when I went to a STS. Still hard to get into reverse.

I tried the Xact wires from advance auto, don't waste your time or money there. Had problems from the git go.

Thanks for the replies. I will check out rock auto for the lca's. Retarded auto parts here wants $79 each for the MOOG. As for doing this my self, nope, my health is too bad(heart patient) and no friends are willing to try. Health has been in decline the last 2 years. A local shop says they will cha...

Thanks for the input. I suspected this all along. The neon has almost 138,000 miles on it and not sure if it had control arms in the past. Just one day the steering went loose and the car was wandering. Jacked it up and found the bad bushings. will wait until I have the money to fix it all with good...

if I wasn't as broke as a church mouse I would be all over this. Nice ride man! GLWS

The time has come for changing the lower control arms on the Neon. The rear bushings are totally shot. My question is, which control arms should I use. I know the MOOG arms would be the best, but am in a tough financial fix at the moment. I want to do things right, but are the Dorman control arms an...

I would def go MoPar. I put a BWD sensor on my 2000 es and a week later it was leaking. The plastic split on the cam side and oil was leaking through and out the connector pins.

Not trying to rain on your parade here but it's doubtful just changing the rod bearings will be a long term fix. A friend did this to his acura integra and it didn't last 50 miles. he did check the bearing clearances with plastigage. I do Hope it works for you tho. Good luck and let us know how thin...

Thanks for every ones input. I will check the mounts again. I may have missed something.

The engine has 137,000 on it with a new head, new plugs and wires. There is no discernible misfire except under load at part throttle. That is a problem I have been trying to cure for a couple of years. Vibration doesn't get worse or better when it misfires. I am leaning toward going with the stock ...

probably 20,000 miles on them. car is driven hard rarely anymore. The vibration from a standing start is terrible and it drones at cruise. The whole car vibrates so bad it has loosened the passenger side rearview mirror, twice. Have checked and rechecked the engine alignment and had my son check it ...

Has anyone had experience with both the agp dogbones and the prothane inserts? I have the agp dog bones on my 2000 ES mtx and the vibration is horrific. Did the engine alignment and its spot on. these have been on the car now for 2 yrs and they are driving me nuggin futs! It vibrates so badly that i...

Have you checked the price on rockauto.com ?

Not trying to bad mouth any product but I tried the Lucas oil stabilizer and soon after my cam was scored. On tear down I found nothing wrong with the roller rockers other than scoring all the way around 3 rollers and the cam lobes. I do run Mobil1 in the engine now but I think that will be the only...
