It may not be the black R/T i wanted, and it was a bit more money than what I wanted to spend, but over all I think it's a better deal.

And no worries, this thing will be built to last me a goooood long while.

sweet ride josh you are turning into a neon nutt....lol

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 12:14 pm

I own two neons, roomate has a 2000 plymouth, girlfriend has a 98 Highline.

Na, I wouldn't say I'm a nut. A nut would be throwing 20,000+ into a neon

Well, I already posted on 1gn but Congrats again!

things aren't looking good for my sanity...

oh and...nice 1st gen, Josh. love the NYG!

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 1:10 pm

No... no they're not Chris. You have GOT to be getting close to that 20k mark by now.

You should come over, and look at the first gen! and helping change the timing belt! Sounds like a GREAT idea to me!

hul kogan · Post by **hul kogan** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 1:26 pm

Oh believe me...if I actually went through and added everything up from over the years it would surpass that mark. That is why I don't...I like it better when I don't know, haha.

timing belt, blah. got anything fun to do?!

Post by **Canada** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 1:30 pm

Looks cool Josh.

Definitely my top three favourite Neon colours ever!

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 1:30 pm

Fun? Uh.... drink beer, and eat more pizza. Just like last time!

OH! And guitar hero!!! LOTS of guitar hero!!!

lambostealth · Post by **lambostealth** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:00 pm

what if you've put over $35,000 on a Neon, does that qualify for another word.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:04 pm

It means you have to much money.

Lunatic fits nicely as well.

Rapley · Post by **Rapley** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:29 pm

Awesome find. I love NYG, and wish I could find one for myself.

After owning a 2gen, then a 1gen, I like the 1gen because they're more sporty and quick, and reaaaally easy to find parts for/work on. I'd suggest getting a Haynes repair manual, or something similar. It know it helped me out ALOT when working on my car.

If i lived closer I'd come and help ya with your waterpump and timing belt. Done a SOHC and a DOHC before, they're not really fun, but they sure do let you know your way around the engine more

At least I only have one Neon. haha!

it's ok lambo and krack, there is a special place for people like us...

it normally is on the top floor of the hospital, on lockdown, straight jackets and whatnot...

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 4:31 pm

What about Joe (team livid)? $50K neon?!

Good luck with the car Josh, mine wont be getting much exterior love for a while, unless I pull out the smash thats in the rear. The only parts it'll be getting are primered hood and trunk, and rear 1/4 panel when I replace that part.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 4:33 pm

Joe needs help.... he needs severe, professional help.

Yea, the body of my NYG will stay 3 different shades of green for awhile, and be a little rusty. Body work costs to much, haha. Maybe if we combine our two NYGs, we'll have one GOOD one!

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 4:43 pm

I doubt that.

My car still has all the MTX swap bugs, like the clutch safety switch not being there, the reverse lights not coming on with the car being in reverse, the speedo dosen't work, I don't have a bobble strut, I need new struts, no rear sway, bushings all shot. My front bumper shows the red thats underneath, the hood shows the barney purple that was under it, my core support and bumper are bent, and my windshield is scratched.

However, I think mine might be faster with the computer and header!

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 4:44 pm

Ha, I was just going through your old posts about the NYG. I didn't know it was in THAT bad of shape though.

I think you're right on the faster thing... that is... if you can get it to run.

So what's keeping you from moving it right now? Ever get that gas tank fixed?

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 5:00 pm

Yeah, its all back together, it runs, but it wont pass MD inspection. I need to bleed my brakes, make my speedo work, and get new headlights. Shit, I'd drive it everyday with the speedo not working, and the idle being weird, I love the car so much. Watch out for rust on your gas tank straps!! I really need to sell my apexi catback, and buy this header I saw on the dot org. I'd be in fat city.

I might end up just trading the catback with this guy for an inspection sticker if my other guy can't pull through :-/. I'd be making a side exit for my car at that point with the stock piping lol.

Nice find! I always wanted a NYG.

bone-yard-racing · Post by **bone-yard-racing** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 6:26 pm

The thing I am pointing to is the BTS if you want I have several spares as well as a black grille (I think you said you want one) all freebees if you pay shipping.

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 7:20 pm

Do the what now? I think my computer throws batt temp sensors, and makes it idle and run all funky when it gets warmed up. I think my coolant temp sensors are bad too.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:12 pm

Found out why the battery light was on... the sensor was just unhooked.

I'll be making a post soon about all the other problems I'm having...

But BYR, I'm all about that grille. Wouldn't happen to have a passenger side headlight, would you?

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:07 am

Very nice! I've always liked that color.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 6:49 pm

Think of my two cars as Sublyminal messaging. (yay sprite!)

King Crab · Post by **King Crab** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 7:13 pm

Sprite, yum....

Best of luck with all, Josh!

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 5:51 pm

OK, so the car is ALREADY have problems... oh god am I pissed right now. I was on my way to get the title signed over in my name, and the car started to stutter when I accelerated. I thought nothing of it.. then it got worse and worse. Then the check engine light came on. I couldn't find the damn building, so I just headed home. Pulled the codes.

12, 24, 24, 55.

Code 24 Throttle Position sensor out of range

Solution: Haynes: Test the TPS.
.ORG: Test/Replace TPS

So oh joy... can't drive the car around this weekend because I don't have time to get to the junkyard.

BYR. wanna pick me a few of those up as well? haha.
