So, back to the topic, I have a 2003 R/T with about 180K miles on it. I swapped out the trans for a SXT trans just for gas mileage. My job takes me several hundred miles a day at times, so this was important to me. I've lowered the car, not as much for looks as for improved gas mileage and keep my t...

Sitting here thinking I have too many cars. Seven at last count. Need to be up at 3:30 and that's only 6 hours away. My 03 R/T is clean and sounds good lately, need to finish up the stainless camaro muffler retrofit job to fit the SRT4 rear bumper on the car. Clamped temporarily now with band clamps...

OMG!

You put soooooooo much into that car. GLWS!

I put the stock airbox back on. I was thinking a nice little hood scoop would help the motor/turbo alot. Giving the air inlet some cool air and cooling the turbo a bit. Something like this... http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/611/2341/26526170049_large.jpg Some 16*8 white Rota Slipstream...

Welcome back to Neons. The R/T is a nice choice, between your plain Jane Plymouth and an SRT4. They have a nice rev range and decent pull for a NA.
Good luck with your new toy!

So just figured I'd join here to educate myself on this a little bit while I enjoy some good MPG for the first time ever lol Even with high mileage on the clock, Neon's are great fun to drive. They also get great gas mileage, especially with a manual trans. I gave one to a buddy with 268K miles on ...

I think a lot of us feel like you do about your Neons. I'm on my 3rd and love them! Welcome home!

Another old fogy!

Hahaha! You young kids!


Oh, and welcome!!

Looks really good... and welcome! I have a 2003 RT in silver as well.
Driving a stick, as far as I'm concerned at least, it a whole lot more fun!

Good luck with it!!

yeah i knew i was asking too much its just hard to put all the time and money into to see it go for half what i got into it. ive had offers up to 5k but idk if i can part with it. and it has been maintained very well if i was to let you drive you would never know theres that many miles. Well, I sup...

Too bad. This is the first I saw this post and have been looking for a good replacement muffler for my R/T. I would have only been #2 but at least I would have been supporting you. Sorry!

The right way to ask that is "WTF is colour, eh?" !

LOL! Rice?

You guys ever look at a classic 1968 Olds 442 with dual snorkel cold air? An awful lot like what you just made with flex line and ducting. And duct tape? Not rice but Nascar!

Ryan,
I'm stunned and impressed at what you've done to your Neon. Most of which has been on my personal Christmas list for some time. You, my friend, are driven!

Kudos X 10! I wanna ride!

sadly A is too normal and B... no, C is not too bad. I am more or less thinking of somehow blending an SRT-4 bumper with some Chrysler grill.... may have to ask R34 to do some photo shop work once I find the right combo. I actually like these but would somehow incorporate them into the lower half o...

Are you sticking ideas in his head again???

sidepipe87 wrote:Looks good Tim. I think that car would look a lot nicer with stock srt grilles instead of the chicken wire. I think rockauto sells them too

Yeah, I've never liked that look either. Expanded metal looks cheap to me. Care to bat some ideas around...?

Bam-bi!

Congrats on the new ride! I'm glad to see that you didn't just give up on your Dodge Neon friends!

Did you take the time to read the rules about posting in the for sale section?

Um.... the truth is...

Deer are funny. My younger brother was just sitting at a light when a deer crossed the road diagonally and galloped directly over his car, front left to right rear, caved in the roof and front fender, hood and hatch in his old Honda. Totaled it and he never moved!

LOL! Outta the blue!

Wooooo! Ultra suede!

I'm thinking Yvette. Classy yet exotic in her ultra suede knickers and twin boom booms!



...what was that I drank with dinner anyway??

What will you be calling the former "Frank"? Any ideas?

Damn! So sorry to hear. Glad to hear you're ok though.
Your car was so clean, too. I like the 01-02 R/T's and couldn't wait to see yours in person.

Outer wall does not get hot and discolored....

And little heavier but a nice 3D effect for looks, too! Looks good, Speed!

How much for the silver rear bumper with boobies?! Where are you? Midwest someplace? If you were close, I'd give it to you. Otherwise, I still may clean it up, weld the crack, and put it in stock. No way would I wanna try shipping it. I think those tips look great in there, as a neon owner I would ...

She's young to me! LOL!

The worst part of the car was now the rear bumper. Stock 03 R/T bumper with a couple of dents in the bumper "boobies" and a long crack in the shelf at the trunk lid. I was going to heat and reshape it then weld in the crack but I kept my eye out for a good SRT4 bumper instead. I finally found one a ...
