This 2000 Neon is my daily driver & is not washed that often so today I washed it up & took some pics , I just did the SRT-4 swap on it last month also , let me know what you think.

damn man.. nice ride! how long did it take/ you to do the swap and where did you get your motor and tranny

The swap took me & my friend about 9 hours from start to finish , but me & my friend have worked on about 8 different SRT-4's in this area in the last 4 years so we new are way around the engine bay , I had an SRT-4 a few years ago & sold it & missed it ever since , so I decided to start buying the parts I needed to swap into my daily driver a few months ago & now I have my sleeper , I got 90% of my parts in one shot from LKQonline , they are a junkyard in Cali , the engine & transmission where from a 2005 ACR SRT-4 with 20,000 miles on it & it runs & drives great .

what do you think it costed you? from start to finish.. for the motor and wiring harnesses and everything?

About $4,000 for everything , it is best to find a wrecked SRT-4 in your area if you want to do a swap because then you will have everything in one car & you won't have to look for all the small parts you will need if you just piece it together like I did & it would probably be cheaper.

looks amazing. Great job

I spot a Stage 3 Turbo

You are correct , I decided after I got all my swap stuff together to go ahead & buy some things I new I would end up doing later anyway before I put it all in & that was one of them.

I wish there was someone like you in las vegas that could do a swap for me once I get enough money that knows our cars.

wow.that is a fckin sleeper right there i love it.i am planning on my swap right now.i think i am going to do it over the winter.i love the sleeper idea like your car.everyone will be like" oh its just a neon,they are slow as hell" and then

The hardest part on mine was to find out where to cut & mod the firewall for the clutch master cylinder because mine was a 2000 neon , everything else is just taking out the old & then putting in the new stuff , everything goes in the same spot & even the wire harness all plug in the same area .

Somedays I miss my S3R SRT-4.. But then I drive my MS3 and those thoughts go away.

I enjoyed the 11second daily driver, but I'm much happier with my Mazda.

"that's because ur crazy"

Not a perfect sleeper, but it sure as hell would suprise some people!

Steelies, 3 different shades of primer, and hazy headlight/taillights would make it a perfect sleeper.

Amazing car though! Get us a time slip!

Very nice! Car looks great

Looks sweet. You would never have thought there was a srt motor in there.

love it. whered you get the mirrors? i think the one thing it needs is a front grille bar.

Didn't you have a SRT? I have pictures of a black SRT in the same exact driveway on my computer, lol.

are u 2.4turboman from srt forums? your old srt was amazing...this swap is also very clean

Nice car, I like it a lot! Question though, can it really be a sleeper if you have lowered it, tint, rims, tails?

Mirrors where bought a long time ago & came off my last SRT-4 before I sold it , I think someone else has a set though in the USA besides me.

That was me , I sold that car , started my own business , bought this 2000 Neon for my daily driver , & have bought & sold a few cars since , but my business keeps me busy so I don't have time to keep this thing clean every day like I did the SRT-4 , this car gets washed mabe once a month if that , take care man.

Well it's a sleeper in the since that whenever someone sees me driving on the highway they probably would not even give it a second thought or think man I wonder what kind of motor they got in that Neon , & having rims & tint is pretty much every other car you see on the road now a days .

W3rd, I hear ya. I always think of stock exterior with huge turbo when I hear sleeper

love it. Great work!

Just plain amazing.

I got my hands on an MS3 today and I have to say i'm really not impressed at all.

I love the swap man, congrats on that. I'd love to do the same thing. Maybe one day i'll find a decent donor

i little off topic... but where did you get your rotors from, they looked like they were drilled and slotted... i cant seem to find a good place to get some decent ones..
