2GN.ORG

Well ive been modding the car for a long time and am starting to really get to where I want to be and am getting a few things real soon so I figured it was time for one of these. Ill start with my pic log and then work from there


So when I got the car i put some Megan lowering springs and a aem -ish intake. Then got a ebay exhaust that did well for not having alot of money. Then shit went sour and the trunk leaked and the car tryed to drown itself. I got really upset and almost sold it. But I realized that it had been so faithful to me that I couldnt give it up and thats about the time I found 2gn.org. Since ive been here I have purchased a Chrysler grill, Magnum valve cover, projectors and hids, coilovers, front and rear strut bars and misc lil things and the car is coming around. Now I have a baby on the way and I realize that I have the perfect car and whats funny is that when my fiance is in the Neon that the baby kicks like its having fun. Well I dont have alot of pics of the cars various stages but I will try to throw out what I have.

These are the earliest pics of the car of when I was putting the springs and all that on:


all flyin and junk


gettin ditry


size difference


on the rack

these are some shots just before it went semi sour




After the trunk flooding I threw all the carpet away because it was so wet it was beyond salvage. Then it turned around......

I started with the valve cover






Then it was a DC front strut bar and the Chrysler grill

and the Projectors and HIDs, also dropped the exhaust for a srt midsection i converted to side exit



then the coilovers and some taillight tint and a set of 03 wheels

Since then I have put on some 20percent tint and am getting ready for two new mods thanks to my soon to be wife.....
My interior:


Its a Komono material kinda silky but the headliner, door inserts and rear deck will be done with this soon and pics will follow

she also got me a maddog 80-4 reduction 2inches shorter sts that will be threaded to fit this knob

I got the red one and a set of Johnny Mopar cradle bushings are going on too with these things but the goal is to be done all of these things by Carlisle.

And this is how she sits today (these were before the tint)












The Interior:



Still gotta do the door inserts, shiftboot and rear deck(maybe?)

Well its been awhile but I got a new mod

Well if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed the journey that was the lil neon that could, the mods are gonna slow down a bit due to the baby but that last couple things like the fabric and the sts were a fathers day gift (this being my first fathers day) so they are gonna be very special pieces in the car. well I guess all there is left is to say "Stay Classy San Diego, and Thanks for Stopping by"

Nice write up Oh, and gratz on being a new daddy

The car has come along nicely. Aren't you glad you didn't get rid of it? Are you going to make it to Carlise? Would like to see the car in person

i really like the car and i like where your going with it and congrats on the baby

"AEM'ish" intake? You mean a eBay intake?

Very sexy light almond pearl neon! Tastefully done!

Thanks guys yeah to the ebay intake and yes I will be at Carlisle.

Interior bump

Very interesting interior to say the least.

But damn, I can't get over the fact how sexy your car is:

New background for my comp.
I absolutely love the look of it! I miss my CG Neon.

pics do the interior no justice. Me and Joe (Krackstar) said while we were doing it that "people will either really love it or REALLY hate it" it was a big hit yesterday and yeah I know of its sexiness.

love the interior but i couldnt do it to my car, still its really badass

LOVE the exterior of the car... I mean absolutely love it. Something about CG and black gets me all happy.

The interior... I'll be one of those to REALLY hate it.

Oh yeah well well you drive a Chevy. Jk I like doing things that people hate and I like things clean and low the interior compliments the red black and gold and knew it would be hated. I wanted louis vuitton but the fabric is very hard to come buy

Incase you missed them in the original post

this is the first time I saw this thread and Man i love the car cause now i know what my car is going to look like with a 02 front end (I have the same color almond pearl) Late congrats on the baby and that baby seat is sweet. Anything new on the car?

HOLY interior batman!

Its like some kind of buddhist temple...not a fan.

but looks nicely done!!

It's alot nicer in person. I still gotta finish the interior like visors, shift boot and the doors. I got an s2000 shift knob and am looking at headers and an udp and checking junk yards for budget sways

Ha ha how cute! Apparently the seat is comfy enough to put the baby to sleep! Congrats on the little one

Yeah the seat is mad comfy, im kinda jealous. Its super plush. Thanks shes great

So its been a lil while as life has been hectic but I have HUGE updates and so first the little one



Suspension is getting a Major overhaul:

I also have a spare set of front control arms so I can press these and not have the car go down. (when I get the arms off that are on there now they will go up for sale)

These will take car of the rear end and the bushings will be fresh on the trailing arms. (same as the fronts once these go on I will have rears for sale as well)
And to make the car a complete go-kart I will add these

RT Front and Progress rear with all Prothane endlinks.

Engine wise:
Magnum Manifold with butterflies
Before cleaning

After

I drilled and taped a Brake Booster hose fitting on there because it had been deleted
Got a wrapped header as well to take care of the other end of the motor

Have the downpipe too but its not in the picture
Also got some new foglights and an Optima Redtop battery and a Hello Kitty oil cap.
Im still waiting for my MSD Coil and WindowSwitch and Zex WOT box so the manifold will be active. Also the wifey got me an AEM RT CAI which should be here Tuesday. I also have a set of two tone euro tails coming too. Last but not least when I get the suspension done and aligned I will be purchasing these

16/7 +38 with a 5mm spacer running 205/50/16s.

I will get pics as the installs start to happen. Thanks for looking

Not bad, love CG though.

first time looking at your log.. pretty cool car.. good luck on all the mods.. awesome car

The inteior is deffinately different, looks like you did a good job wrapping everything though.

Love the babyseat.

That is not CG, it's Almond.

Thanks guys. Yes its almond. I just realized this. My mistake
