Why, Thank you kind Sir!

The IM gasket ended up having a few small tears. Replaced it with a home made one and now its running amazingly.

So today I finally gotten around to installing my Magnum intake manifold. The actuator doesn't work so i just took out the butterfly valves. When I started the car up after the install it was idling at round 2000 rpm. I took it around the block to see if that would even it out, but when I parked it,...

Did you get your windshield fixed?

Yep! Did it myself too!

I suppose I'll swing by for a bit. I've been out of the Neon community for far too long!

I swapped out the plugs a few hours ago and took it for a quick run to the store and it runs like normal again. But one thing that is new is that there is a bit of smoke coming out of the exhaust. I'm assuming that is from some oil that got into a couple of the cylinders thanks to some leaking spark...

So earlier today I was driving and while I was idling at a stop light my car suddenly started to idle very badly and the check engine light started to flash. When I got home I did the key dance and code P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected. I pulled the spark plug and it looked like this. http://i.imgu...

You do need to removed the resonator box when installing your CAI. IIRC there should only be three bolts holding it on. If you are still having clearance issues with the splash guard, you should be able to rotate the CAI forward enough so you can install the splash guard.

I was wondering "why" replace the bellows tube but I seem to ask a ton of questions and decided against it. and just go with what Jeff had told me. Thank you for letting me know! I replaced the bellows tube when I installed my CAI. The flexibility of the stock bellows tube allowed the throttle body...

I think I win the award of "Brightest Car of the Meet"!!!

I had a pretty good time and I'll definitely go to the next one! And by then my car will be all sorts of purdy again Well as long as I don't hit a deer... I came close to hitting a deer three times on my way home!

Yeah, I spent a good chunk of this morning installing a bypass on my CAI so I don't freak out every time I run over a puddle.

And the rain is kind of a good thing, it will make it a bit harder for people to notice me drooling over their Neons.

Just gotta find my rain coat!

Excellent weather for the meet!!!

I'll be there!

I talked to a cop at the gas station after dropping off the monitor at a electronics recycling place. And he said that it wouldn't be a problem because it doesn't block my view but if I get pulled over for something else, they might tack on a written warning about it.

So it looks like I got my awesome broken windshield mod installed just in time for the meet! /sarcasm Someone put an old computer monitor in a cardboard box and put it in the rafters in the garage. The box broke while I was vacuuming out my car and landed on the edge of my windshield. And I can't ge...

Okay, so I've printed out my maps for the trip (yes, Gramps doesn't do GPS devices :dontknow: ). I've had enough problems with GPS so I'll be printing my map out also! :rockon: Agreed. The only time I've used a gps, it made me back into a bike rack in Denver in the dark while typing in an address! ...

I've found that coasting to red lights and down hills will increase mpg. Stay under 2,500 rpms when shifting and don't go over 1/2 throttle. Try to travel at 50-55mph when possible, that's where you'll get the best mpg. ^This^ How you drive the car has a huge impact on your mpg. Also, try to use cr...

^Yep

Its always a good idea to use new o-rings!

The first port you looked at in the video is the low pressure port. Its right next to the windshield washer fluid tank.

No, I added it to the low pressure port. If I remember correctly, the ports are different sizes so the hose will only attach to the low pressure port.

I did pretty much the same thing at the beginning of summer.

I ended up picking up one of the recharge kits at Autozone and my AC as been working as well as it did before.

I bought mine in 2006 after the control arm on my toyota broke and it would have cost more to repair it than the car was worth. In order to get an affordable interest rate on a loan I had to have my parents cosign the loan. And in order to get them to cosign the loan, they limited me to one dealersh...

A friend of mine is thinking about tagging along with me. But if I have to I'll drag him down, kicking and screaming, and in the end he will thank me...

* Keep in mind that if you keep a couple or few gallons of E-85 in a gas can or container in a backyard shed or garage, that it needs to be kept in an airtight container, and fuel stabilizers need to be used......Because it will go stale quickly. - Nick Yep.

It looks like it was a great time! I'll definitely have to attend the next one!!!!

Its only the beginning....


It seems like a good way to save a few bucks while filling up. But at the moment, its some what impractical because I would have to drive a good 30 minutes out of my way to get to a gas station that sells e85.

That is a pretty cool little spreadsheet! I had no idea that E85 had such a high octane rating. Do you know what percentage of ethanol we can run in our cars before it wreaks havoc on our fuel systems?
