Export, Tho it was mainly the 1.8
IIRC the 1.6 got the 4.12 axle ratio MTX

How is a 5-speed swap at all a repost with a 2GN VIN decoder showing us 1.6L Neons?
EDIT:
I fail. The link to the decoder was once already posted. Lul.

Someone was selling 4.12 gears locally. I didn't have the mechanical knowledge or funds to install them though.

Imagine the RPM's you could get with the 1.6 though. 10K easy as pie.

The "gear set" cost nearly as much as a new complete MTX. If they were under $400, I would of snatched them up, and resold them.

I believe they ended up selling on the .org but I was within arms reach of them, lol.

And I think they definetly sold for under $400, maybe around $200 but don't quote me. They were only 100 something if I bought them locally.
1st gen Neons used to tear shit up around here back when car modding became popular again in the late 90's/00's, now all those guys have moved on to bigger and badder cars. It seems like all the Neon guys around here upgraded to Starrions/Conquest's. Every once and awhile one of their uber rare parts will pop up for sale by me.
That's how I got my newish looking head with ported intakes and a 95 cam for cheap.

Yea, with all the EVO stuff around, it's gotten pretty awesome to do a Starion/Conquest. It's like a RWD stroker EVO that looks like the 80s to a T.

Two of my friends have wide-body Conquest's, ones black and the other is silver. Soo hot.

This is interesting, its the Wiki on the 1.6L engine. I would'nt want the 1.4L or the basic 1.6L-only 89HP
, but the 1.6L Supercharged one would be pretty cool to try out.
