just an update on this... no, as far as the sounds, they were bad and I knew it had to have somthing to do with th LCA bushings... guys even said they were really bad... being "pushed out" of the hole... and after the reapir, it helped a little.... it's almost getting warm enough out to dive into th...

I went from stock steelie 14" up to 16's with 205/50's..
had a noticable difference in "get-up-and-go" just starting up from a stoplight

daily driver, stock suspension..don't race it

WHEEE!!

thanx fo the info... sorry for the missing... the car is a 2004 SE, about 65k miles... no suspension mods ..only the wheels and tires driving here in Michigan... salted roads all winter and pot-hole city.. seems like every surface street has those joints that heave up due to the temperature swings.....

I know its (the end of) Winter and we gots a lot of pot holes and bad roads .. this is also my first winter season on new wheels and tires (16" 205/50's) but I am getting alot of banging over every little joint and bump in the road I have had my LCA bushings replaced, had a local shop do them, but w...

me too.. I'm getting really tired of all black rims now. to me, from far away, they are all just looking like some getto car that has black steel wheels ..and someone stole all the hub-caps ...unless it is a very skinny and open spoke pattern and u can see like some nice colored calipers and big rot...

here's 14" steelies with just a chrome trim ring... mine before I got new wheels and tires

I think he mean't if you just bought one of those e-bay fobs... that's all u would have to do to make it work once u received it

ok, here's kind of a related question.... just bought a 2006 Grand Caravan for the wifee, had like 35k miles on it... bought just before Xmas... about 1 1/2 weeks after I bought it off the Dodge use car lot, a rear wheel bearing went bad...thy replaced it for free obviously the van is still under it...

here's my story... swapped a SXT white face gauge cluster into my SE... Mileage was over 10,000 less on the new cluster went to the dealer where I had taken it before for a quicky oil change... they couldn't figure out why my mileage was less than when I brought it in before...told them I had switch...

hey, it's the old.. "I have an SRT and want no wing"...verses.. "I have a regular Neon and I want an SRT wing!" ... IMO, the SRT's that take the wing off make it look like my low-end..cheap-o Neon SE as it looked when I drove it off the lot on a positive note, tho, for the SRT's.. I kinda wish I wou...

u guys might want to cut sestormline a little slack... look at all the pics he posted...notice the liscence plates...looks like all Euros to me... so maybe different strokes for different countries (?) ..I do agree tho.. about the black and white... Neon's look best all one color ..and why try to ma...

ok... i'm going to hook up a vacuum gauge... I know to just "T" it off a vacuum line, but having trouble finding one... I had a link saved with pics and all, but I just read it and realized the guy T'd off his cruise control vacuum line... I don't have cruise... have an SE, so don't have much of any...

I started with a spoiler-less SE, and don't remember seeing any rubber thing-ys of any kind near the taillights...

..have added my huge-south park bench-grocery cart wing to my trunk and have heard nothing of any kind of noise from the trunk since I mounted it...

did not know any even existed (?)

..I was surprised to see most all the new Dodge Challengers are auto-stick...first glance I thought they were regular autos..
was wondering if u could even get a real manual in the new Challengers (?)

this is that big black plastic thing underneath the front bumper, right? yea, funny thing... I had no problem with that thing untill I installed the MOPAR front lip kit.... then I could not keep it attached right!...it kept coming loose on the freeway and sounding like a flat tire... like it was an ...

Wow, all those badges are really gonna clutter up the back of yer Neon! (sorry, couldn't help it...)

oh ok, so I think I get it...
I put in 2004 Neon and it's basically stock replacement wheels and stuff

did see a couple aftermarket tallights, but they seemed pricey... close to 300 bucks for a set (?)

ah yes... that is the magic of Adobe Photoshop... took that pic, but there was so much crap going on in the background nieghbors house, other cars..tree branches I used the blur tool to blur everything except the car... I think I ended up blurring out my shorty antenna in the process! I thought it k...

I have done mine... I have read posts in the past on it.. My opinion, I think it is "easier" to use tape, but probably won't last.. I went thru the trouble of measuring, just like it says in the instructions, the black plastic mounting hooks, marking with a sharpie, and mounting them...am am confide...

I did the samething!..I have a ATX ..and test drove a SRT-4, then could get the key out! What is the purpose of this?... and why only on the MTX? ..is it just an extra reminder that u have to put an MTX in gear or set the parking brake before u get out?..so it doesn't start rolling? (the ATX has to ...

bumpin this up, I was doing a search for some info on gauge installs, and this car domain link above is great for the pictures!.... would help with alot of dash projects, even more than are listed in his how to.....

Isn't that a good way to do, like, ghost 'flames'?

not that I recommend for a Neon, but, on like a nice Muscle car... a gloss black car with flatblack or satin black flame job

This cost just under 11k to repair, half of that was parts.

Whoa... u do know "11k" would be $11,000.00!

I'm assuming you mean 1100?

just to try to help out with a pic...

talkin about this stabalizer bar? (this is a pic of mine, looking from the front of the tire, towards the rear( (I'm only running 16" rims with 205/50's..and this is how close I am...)

I'm guessing (but hopefully someone will verify) that the second picture is the right one, because I didn't think that the trunk release was motorized... so perhaps that first picture is for a universal? the truck pop is not really "motorized"... it's just an electric release ..and, correct me if I...

seems there are different definitions of cheap I assume he's looking for used wheels and tires off another car that will fit a Neon, and maybe in the less than 300 range?.. or less than 200? It's almost like we need a sticky with research done cuz that question sem to come up frequently. Like "Other...

My wifee's old 96 Caravan had not only the rear defrost and the 2 heated mirrors, but also had like 2 or 3 defroster lines/wires running underneath the front wiper blades so all 4 of those things heated up in the winter.. ..upgraded to a 2006 Caravan and now it only has the heated mirrors and rear d...

I did mine myself for $0.. from excess vinyl from a friend.

figgered WTF, didn't cost me anything anyway

you can see the one wrinkle I ended up with at the top...

I'm pretty sure this is because the 2000-2002 body style guys were buying just the side skirts cuz they fit, where the front and rear wouldn't without modification
