Very nice man. Loving how clean this car is, even if it does have a body kit and a door kit. But definitely love all the touches you've put in. Very nice

^ lol. Alright deal.

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Wed Nov 21, 2012 9:49 pm

Some added goodies... bear with me on the pics...

Got and awesome deal on a Brand New in the box 3" Needswing downpipe and electric cutout... soon as the downpipe came in I stashed it away and forgot to get pics.....here she is...

And hoping to get myself a couple goodies for Christmas....

Ive contemplated on a harness bar for a while...but Im scoring a sweet deal on one so I had to jump on it... I dont take the kids very far so they wont be affected much LOL... plus gives me an awesome spot to mount my Gopro...

Hope everyone likes the color scheme...I have a lot of changes coming for the seats and interior...

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 10:55 am

Yea ...from a reputable company... Got it from sxxxt who changed his mind so I snagged it from him... He also had it powdercoated black so one less step for me... Installed pics up soon...as well as updated head work pics...stay tuned

how low is your neon?

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 9:00 pm

Im on BC Coilovers... with 18' rims I have all four corners flush (fenders and rear quarters) with the top of the tire.... With the front bumoer I was about 5" from the ground..

I have since raised the car up about a 1/2 inch all around and made it much more comfortable to drive LOL

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 9:57 pm

Even with it being 5 degrees out tomorrow night I plan on installing a few goodies... Ive been working 7 days a week trying to pay off a few bills...Planning on getting into a house this year, So I apologize for my lack of updates....Been a bit crazy lately..

* Picked up an entire Kicker speaker setup minus the sub as a temporary setup... Haven't been able to swing the cash on the speakers I really want yet so these will have to do.... I plan on picking up a 2gn as a daily very soon(hoping to get the R/T ive been eyeballing LOL) so these will swap into that car when the time comes... Surprisingly decent speakers Im not much of a fan of the kicker lineup but threw about 50-60 watts at them and they sound pretty good....

* Im going to attempt to install the harness bar and see how I like it. Hoping it works out...If so Im ordering my harnesses next week.... Really excited

* Ripping off front bumper and getting ready for the head swap if time allows... I expect it to be back within the next few weeks.... Really excited to get all my goodies back....

Heres a couple teaser pics the machinist sent me.... Hes been swamped with work an hes a perfectionist so he is making sure everything is perfect before sending it back to me...

Intake Side...

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 8:29 am

looks like great work to me, thats gasket matched?

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 8:40 am

That's what I initial thought but to be honest , because I'm going to be running an Indy intake manifold I think he's going to make me a custom gasket...I'm also having the Indy intake ports opened up to match the head since they were so tiny..... Hoping to get more pics up tonite. The machinist is the person who does all of Erics (ASP TURBO Eric) work so I know it's going to be perfect once done... I can't wait....Hoping I get it soon so I can break everything in then get the turbo in for the summer... I don't want to go to Carlisle this year not boosted but I also don't want to rush it...lol...

Soon you will be installing the only set of SS valves I've sold to a 2GN member, not counting me or my brother.....
Car looks good as always!

should flow very nicely, i'm sure he does really good work if eric uses him!

Lol yea he told me it will flow insanely... Especially with porting the Indy intake ports...that was a huge dent in the wallet lol

Caraudioholic24 · Post by **Caraudioholic24** » Tue Jan 29, 2013 12:28 pm

Just got word today the machinist is done with the head and manifold... I can't wait....

UPDATE!!!

Finally got the head back... Heres a few pics.
Anyone interested, all work was done by a machinist recommended to me by Eric from ASP. He does all the work for Eric so I trusted him.. I have to say I am very pleased on how everything came out... Cant wait to install it all in the coming weeks...
