New From AZ
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 5:50 pm
Hey Everyone,
I'm new here, but have been lurking for a bit.
I live in AZ as stated in the title. I own a Silver MTX 2002 Neon S I've had since it was new. I've only recently gotten into modding on it now that it's comletely out of warranty (factory and extended).
Mods on the car: I've had a drop in K&N in it for a long time, and after much search button abuse on here I've decided to leave the factory air-box+plumbing (no CAI), and just remove the resonator/silencer (already done).
Planned Mods: I have set of Mopar Performance wires coming for it, and it will get a set of new champions at the same time. I'm using the Mopar wires because I work for a dealer (discount!), and haven't done wires on it yet. It's more maintenance then performace (I know they don't make a huge difference above the regular wires, I just like the blue).
Next mod is going to be a custom exhaust piece to replace the factory muffler. I have a friend here that races big block mopars that has some spare good flowing/not buzzbomb mufflers, and nice pipe so we can rig up a cat back on the cheap. One that removes all the 90 degre bends in the back, and has the exhaust going straight out the drivers rear side. Likely will do this on friday.
Future mods: When my clutch goes bad I'm going to replace it with PT crusier parts for better grab and durability. Will likely do a short throw with bushings at the same time.
Possible UDP. I know the check engine light will be an issue, so I'm un-certain on this right now. I would really like to have one in there since everyone says there's a lot of buttdyno gain, but without a solution for the CEL I'm hesitant.
I'd also to put a tach in the car someday.
So with that, thanks for having me, and thanks for the wealth of info on here.
