*Im looking for my crank walk pic, Ill edit when I find it.

That is wrong. Granted, I have it in my R/T, but I've seen it in some 00-02 SEs in the junkyard. Also, I thought the side-impact airbags were only in the leather seats. I know rams head fabric wasnt in '00. I dont think it came out until '01 in R/Ts and ACRs, and '02 for other trim levels. I could ...

Stock based struts do not have a removable insert. Youll need to replace the entire unit. I have Koni inserts in my car, but I had to cut open stock struts to remove the ram and install them. Its a fair amount of work, and I wouldnt recomend it for most people. The Konis are sold in pairs. I wouldnt...

Then I would have two sets of the Mopar sides for sale. lol.

What sides are you talking bout? R/T skirts?

Yes.

Got one set to put on the car, and one set to keep as spares. Since theyre so hard to get now.

You have a car that has boost. Doesnt count, duh.

Nothing wrong with struts/springs, as long as you pick a combination that works together, and gives you what you want out of the car.


You'd be hard pressed to convince me to give up my Mopars/Konis for coil overs.

Right, a vacuum gauge is. Not a boost/vacuum gauge mounted in a non-boosted car. Especially since a dedicated vacuum gauge will give you much better corner-of-the-eye readability than trying to read just the left side of a boost/vacuum gauge. I can't say anything bad because I was a ricer once just...

I have my doubts about the rods being stronger for some reason. It just doesn't seem like something dodge would do, especially since 20 extra hp isn't enough power to warrant that kind of upgrade. There are a lot more weak links in our engines, so I doubt the rods would be the first to go anyway. I...

im not really sure, ide just go to your local autozone and pick up a stock clutch and put it in, if ur not having problems with slippage due to 2 much hp then theirs really no reason not to have a stock clutch. ^^What he said. Shipping cant be too bad. If they sold the Neon in your country, theres ...

2001, should be the 3spd. I didnt think the 4spd came out till '02? Check the fluid. Get the fluid flushed, and change the filter. (dont just drop the pan and refill, pay someone to flush it properly. Most of the fluid is in the torque converter, not the tranny itself. Adjust the bands. Find a FSM, ...

Werd.

Las Vegas is the only one worth watching. Gap is hot, right Jason?

If I found a CF lip that fit the '01-02 R/T front, that looked good, I would consider getting these. Then I would have two sets of the Mopar sides for sale. lol.

Why don't car manufacturers address this by making a catch can standard equipment, especially on turbo'd vehicles? Oh, you know why. Because 98% of people out there would never look at it or drain it. Just like most of them dont change their oil. Though it would be nice. You should have seen the oi...

x3. I like the look of the raccoons. The projector bulge just doesn't do it for me

By the title of this thread, I thought it would belong on SOT.

Edit: BTW, I love my 'coons.

I want to say it was only in the R/Ts, of varrious years, if not all. But I could be wrong on that.

Make sure if you get an led that its the wide angle one. I tried an led and it all tried to go to the wrong place and didnt yield a great effect. also i believe the 928 style (reverse lights) have the same base but larger bulb but its a bit longer. The backup light bulbs do have the same base, and ...

Ive been building neons since way before the PL2 was even going to be a real car. The PL2 was set for production by 1999... as in when you were 17. You were building cars way before then??? Yes. got my first car, and job, at 13. Living in the middle of no where has its perks. First neon I got to pl...

the car feels like it pulls a hell of alot harder. How much more good could you want? :lol: Besides you would prolly lose 5 to 8 MPG with the 3.94, unless you went with the PT N/A mtx. If the car has a cable clutch, he can use one from a 1st gen sport coupe, or Style, as they had 3.94s with the .72...

From my other post, thought this would make a nice addition to this one. :D http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii223/occasional_demons/Picture010.jpg Man I completely forgot about the little Red Wagon, and I call myself a mopar nut. BTW wasn't the engine mounted in the bed? Theyre sorta kinda in th...

I can deal with the people on sport bikes doing things like this. It really doesnt bother me until Im trying to change lanes, and they're splitting a lane. And even then, theyre always going fast, so it only takes an extra second or two to move over. What I hate, in this area, are the older guys on ...

sidepipe87 wrote:^I don't know what mopar springs you have, but I have a set of the Mopar Performance lowering springs which are first gen ACR springs apparently. When I have money for Tokico HPs they will go on.

Thats what Im running. And have been since '01.

I love my Mopar springs and Konis.

I know how the NGC systems work, and their benifits, and why it was made in the first place. I just dont like them. Ive been building neons since way before the PL2 was even going to be a real car. And before that was carbs and mech. diesel injection. (putting carbs on a neon is fun also) Im old sch...

no, they do in fact have a higher tinsel strength, please search the subject, I will search and post here for you as well. IF this is true, which I cant find anything on it, it was an '03+ change. Everything Ive known since they came out was that the only difference was the skirt coating. I wont ar...

there is no demension differences, they are stronger. i guarentee they are stronger. if i can find the thread ill quote off it. If theres no dimensional differences, that proves my point that the pistons do not create a compression difference. The only thing the Magnum pistons got were coated skirt...

Post talking about rod strength I can't find one talking about the compression ratio. From what I rembered, NGC's tunning made of for the loss in compression to give equal stock HP. Correct. Aside from the coating on the skirts, there are no differences. Whenever I get around to pulling my magnum m...

including the swapped head, dont get discouraged tho, from what ive heard rt engines are very restricted, a lil p&p im assuming goes a long way. also dont forget about the pistons have a higher compression ratio. so bumping compression up will also help (BTW 18 hp is a LOT on a neon) Theres no diff...

damn, everyone I know is getting married. Ive got like 5 to go to before Fall. But Im only in the wedding party in one.


Best thing about weddings, is the bachelor parties.

Strippers = good.

I've been using the Boch icon wipers. a little pricey but they last a bit longer that the cheaper blades and they just work so much better. Ive got these on my F350, and the Touareg. Ill never use anything else. Just waiting for the Trico to wear out on the neon, and it will get them also. they wor...
