At $450-600 for powdercoating (all four wheels) plus the fact that powerdcoat shops take their sweet time (I know I've powdercoated lots of things), NO THANKS.

I've been searching w/ Google and seen lots of paint jobs on wheels, and they look just as good when done right.

You consider BC's the "cheap" ones? And Mopars better? BC vs. Mopar/KW Stage 2's (Mopar=blue, BC=red&black): http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/2067/picture034largewt0.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/463/picture035largewj1.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/6/picture036largefg5.jpg http://i...

If you look at my sig, you can see the CF SRT hood

But here's a better pic:

http://www.gasbuddy.com/ Find gas the lowest gas prices in YOUR area, all of the USA and Canada. MY area (southern Riverside, California): 3.17 - 87 octane 3.31 - 89 octane 3.41 - 91 octane It was 3.45 for 87 last week. 91 was around 3.85. I guarantee by year's end it will be @ 4 bux for 91, and th...

That bumper is very salvagable, but I agree with mztykal, repainting it will look x10 better than blending.

Thankfully this is fiberglass so the actual damage repairs should be fairly easy. Sux man, good luck tho!

stop bringing up this ugly car people....lol

These guys took forever... said the first batch was bad, and I said fine... they kept emailing me without prompting to let me know status. Sheesh, two weeks later... I get this in the mail: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/arrospeed/Neon/fuel_door_1.jpg I'm sure 2gn.org's forum software shrunk...

I remember reading an article in Sport Compact Car where they painted a WRX flat black, using spraycans, and they filled a bucket with warm water. Then they placed the spraycans in it. Said the warmer temperature raised the internal pressure inside the cans, and resulted in better atomization of the...

That's awesome, begs for grippy-grippy tires.

Arro - Not that I'm aware of... you'll need to swap. I believe dutchofsc tried to spice and it didnt work. Yeah I saw that, but then I read this: The code is back because the NVLD doesn't work correctly due to the way you installed it. With the NVLD device capped off, it can't possibly pass the lea...

That doesn't seem consistent with what I was reading on the org... or is the 2.4L SRT engine different bolt pattern than the 2.4L DOHC nonturbo from the Stratus/PT Cruiser? I had thought they were basically the same with different internals... from what I can tell, many neon peeps have bolted the 2....

Hmm reading more on the BC's they are also height adjustable, as well as spring load adjustable. AND they have camber plates. And I think that pillow ball joint is slick.

The Nex look nice, but the BC's look better, feature-wise for just a little more.

Can the T-850 bellhousing be swapped for a non-SRT ydraulic bellhousing?

Ok so sliiiight bump... I could swear I read somewhere that '00 was NOT a computer-controlled ATX, which is why those guys on SRTfourms seek them out for their MTX-to-ATX conversions. SO, as such, an '00 should be abel to run any MTX you want, yes? So theoretically... can I run a T-850 from an SRT-4...

You mean like this?



On a Neon, um yeah I think it might.

Yeah he's right, there's lots you can do with the 3-speed ATX: http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182581 http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188746 This is great for drags and street. If I were into drag I'd do this, since I already have an '00 ATX (not computer-controlled...

Well the BC's are more than enough for my plans, since this is a daily driver I want to moonlight on the track for weenend road club events this summer. Like you said, these aren't as comprehensive on feartures as you could go, but I'd say they're pretty damn close, and could be run quite successful...

Who has done this? Can you recommend a brand? Any tips? I want to paint my wheel black like this guy's:

Good pics, thanks. I'm wondering if aftermarket true (non-sleeve) coilovers have the perch for the rear swaybar.....? I would think if I got coilovers for an SRT-4 it would, since all SRT-4's have a rear swaybar from the factory, correct?

Well yes, I know what you're talking about... it's basically what I was planning... taking the SRT struts I have and gutting them, sticking in Koni inserts, and then sleeving them. I bought the SRT struts/shocks along with an exhaust, all for 200, so I'll just say I invested $100 in them. $100 for S...

So the key here is to get the NLVD connected to the SRT PCM, yes? And the body harness does this, yes?

There has to be a way. Changing whole body harness sounds like hell, compared to running your own custom line w/ connector...

???

The more I read about this swap, the more dread I feel

Link to a good price on those?

acr man. do yo know any way to full the nvld pump to think it works without having to do the whole wiring and all. i would love to see the code go away, because it comes on and off every couple of days. on the steering rack, i had to cut the threaded rods and modify the endlinks. i hava just a litt...

Okay, found some Koni's for what looks to be a good price: http://www.autocarparts.com/cars/Dodge/SRT%5e4/ALL/Koni/ Shipping ground is around $12, so under $325 for the pair of inserts. Grinding off the spring perch makes sense if I plan to use sleeves. I know from my DSM days that they used to do i...

Can someone take some pictures of a rear swaybar setup?

What's going to fit in my '00 bumper without lots of modification? Anyone here have an SE (or similar R/T) bumper with an IC in it? Pics?

Edit: I should add I read the sticky, I'm mostly interested in pictures if at all possible.

REAR swaybar? I just got underneath my '00... I see a couple "bars" in the back that have their ends inside of rubber bushings, but they seem to be two seperate pieces, and don't link together as one rear bar. ??? Am I missing something here? Were there 2G Neons without rear swaybars? Is my car one...

I bet the SRT/4 exhaust tips don't clear the '00 bumper, since the SRT has cutouts. ???

I see a few alarm remotes for "00-03 neon". My Neon doesn't have a remote, but then again it might have (I am not the first owner), but it does have that security key thing and the alarm does go off if you lift the hood or try to open a locked door when locks are engaged. Was a remote typically incl...
