If I wanted too I could..whether or not I can depends on my new rims.. ill have to look at them when I get them either tomorrow or whenever they arrive..I would have to do some good measuring..maybe some cutting or rollin of fenders.. well see. Don't temp me guys.. I do have the money to do it. I'm sure my coilovers would go low enough.

You must be missing some key elements.
1) Not only rims, but tire size factors in.
2) Isn't much measuring, that's why you shouldv'e already figured out offset/width.
3) Your pinch welds wont let you just dump it like that. Your coils will, but I was tucking around 1" of tire on 16s w/ 205/50s, and I had pinch welds digging into my tires. You'll need those pounded down or cut and rewelded to get remotely close to that. You've not mentioned any of that.
4) No smurph blue.

Lmao.. I was just kidding.
oo and on the water pump and timing belt thing.. i talked to the guy who worked on my last neon.. you know the whole pistons thing.. well he said if i took it by his house that he would change it for only $150.( and yes i could do this work myself but i got no time rite now so i guess he will be doing it ) i buy the pump and belt.. and i mean the pump is not that much and neither is the belt. so ill be having him do that in like a week or so.

Dan's car was actually done with A LOT of work. It was on airbags and literally was sitting on the ground on the pinch welds.
So no way you're going to do that. It takes a "special" dedication, and Dan is about as "special" as they come in that respect!
