And it's like I'm taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Keep having nothing but problems. Maybe boost and me weren't meant to be. Hey it almost rhymes. Lol. So yeah at this moment she is still down. Can't believe it's been down this long. There's so much dust on my car from being in the garage fo...

The old "heat wrench" works every time. May weaken the nut though. Yeah, I have thought about that. :-k But then, I have never heard of anyone, ever having one of those nuts 'break' on them. Unless I was racing the car, I probably wouldn't be too concerned about it.... One could always change out t...

I've seen this happen before !!

In my case (it was actually someone else's Neon, not mine), we were able to get the axle nut off.... After applying some heat to the nut.
It worked !!

I bought the same exhaust, I had no fitment issues. The only problem is that the tip is absurdly big so i cut it off and welded a 3" rolled tip to make it look more discreet. it sounds really good compared to most of the exhaust clips you hear on youtube, especially with a short ram intake. At 4k i...

Interesting topic / thread. Subscribed for updates. :) I'm a fabricator so this is not a problem. Just worried the vibration may rattle the unibody loose. It's a track car so I'm not worried about comfort. Just want to make a front and rear engine plate to make removal easier. You should start a pro...

Ok so rockauto sent the wrong part, now my only choices are ACdelco drums for 20$ or Mopar drums for 75$ each Now, i happen to have ordered some rotors and brake pads before i knew my car was a drum setup , what else would i need to convert the drums to rotors? And how much $ would have to be put i...

(Not quite so severe, but it's filthy and all the orifices are growing moss and algae.) Passed emissions without a problem, got it rego'd today. Just needs some TLC and it'll b...

I hope Adam is doing OK... Hopefully I will run into him (not literally) at a dragstrip one of these days !!

I almost missed this.
Happy birthday, Sir !! (Sorry to call you, 'Sir')

shitty! 165K on the body so i might just replace everything up front instead. so does anyone know what is bolt up ready between a 1gn rt and 2gn base model or know of a list? A few items I can think of.... 'off the top of my head', would be: The MTX transmission (but not the bellhousing) the SOHC c...

Here is a picture of my neon with the 1990 BMW 740il lip from the junk yard. Paid $26.00 and a little modification using a heat gun. It fits perfectly. There is also the functional air tunnels that direct the air from the two front holes to the rotors (I have not installed the parts yet. but don't ...

When you say the rear drums are 'orange from rust', I am assuming you are talking about the rear brake drums?? If your rear brake drums are just orange from rust..... That doesn't matter. What matters, is that the I.D. (inside) the brake drums, are within the proper specification. A local NAPA or pa...

Without fabrication ?? No. I'm not sure it would work, without major fabrication. I do have both a 1st gen K-frame and a 2nd Gen K-frame, off the car. I should try taking a picture of both of them, side-by-side, to show the differences. The problem is, that the 1st gen K-Frame is in storage, and I'd...

Still no luck in contacting him. That is rather strange. :( I hope all is well in his neck of the woods.... I know he has mentioned having some issues with his 'new' Fed-Ex driver, servicing his area. He had a good working relationship with the 'old' Fed-Ex driver... Seems the new guy is not as acc...

He is probably busy with his kid. ( And staying indoors, with this Lousy weather we are having)
I hope Frank had a good one.

Nick or Chuck should host the next meet :) Chuck doesn't have the space to host a meet, anyways. Where would we all park.... In his driveway ?? :lol: One NICE thing about Jake's, is that he has plenty of room - Out in the country - And there are always plenty of cool Neon parts (and Neon parts cars...

Good to see you here again !!

Yup !!

Those bolts can be a real nightmare, sometimes they're rusted like crazy other times not bad. Good luck Midwesterners and Northeasterners should carry a can of PB Blaster or Kroil at all times !! :mrgreen: Other than that, this process is pretty straightforward.... Once you get the torx bolts remov...

Does your car come with a factory rear sway bar ?? Some folks have said they've had issues with fitment, on Neons with the rear sway bar -- Depending upon the 'kit' (or brand) that was used. If you don't have a rear sway bar to interfere with fitment -- Then you don't have to worry about that. Dynom...

If you want to 'upgrade' to a dual-outlet muffler, Magnaflow is a good choice. (ref. Magnaflow muffler part numbers: 12265 or 12266. 12265 is 2.5 inlet + 2.5 outlet; 12266 is 2.5 inlet and 2.25 outlet. It's listed as a 'Camaro/Firebird' muffler; but it seems a lot of Neon folks have adapted this muf...
