I think it would be best to get the inserts. JMO. Cuz if you have any front engine work to do, i.e. timing belt, seals, etc. You're going to break something if that tranny mount doesn't flex. With the inserts you can just remove the inserts and jack away.

This is why I keep track of mine. Never missed a fill up. ;) I've gotten 20mpg a couple of times, don't know why. It's funny, when I rip on it I seem to get good mileage, too. Hahah.

I work 7 days a week. To top off a 12 gallon tank here is around $32.40. $2.70 a gallon. I drive back and forth to work at 23.8 each trip totaling 47.6 miles daily. At 20.14 mpg I get 241.68 miles total. 241.68 divided by 47.6 miles = 5 work days roughly. I fill 6 times a month so 6x $32.40 = $194.4...

I always top mine off at 1/8th tank. When my light comes on. I usually top it with around 10+gallons at that point so that's how I figure it's a 12 gal tank. If I put 3 gallons in it always nets me 1/4 tank. Either way if i'm off .2-.3 gallons, my figures clearly show something is not right. I mean ...

I disagree with you - your guage does not read perfect. FILL UP and use that. If you are close, great, I stand corrected - but the only true way to measure MPG is just like I stated. Check a math book :lol: ;) Please, just fill up and either prove me wrong or right. ;) Again. I filled up set the tr...

I drive the Neon to work and just started paying attention to my gas mileage. Work is 23.8 miles away and 23.8 back. I filled the tank and reset my trip meter. Today I had 1/8 a tank exactly and 211.5 miles on the trip. What is going on? I don't get on the motor either, unless I'm passing. Oh yeah ...

Won't the braking bias be off with SRT-4 rear calipers and stock Neon fronts? Not that I can tell. Mine actually feel exactly the same as when I had drums.

I wouldn’t clear coat it. There have been experiments with the Rustoleum clear, they do make it, and the usual paint, buff and polish. After reading hundreds of pages they came to the conclusion that there is no difference between the two looks anyways. One of the benefits of not having a clear coat...

Not sure if anyone has followed the new Rustoleum trend but I thought I'd help spread the word. Make sure you read at least the first 4 pages on the Moparts thread.

Here's the link. Also he hasn't tuned it completely yet, there's probably still more power to be found there. :wink: Sarge, I think the R/T with 10.5 compression and all the major bolt ons with a 2.0 block is only good for 160 tops.

all you need is sandpaper and a bowl of water/soap. Brand new guaranteed. Move the grit up as you go along and finish with 2000 grit. Easy and cheap.
