It actually does.. When I made the post Kristin was like 3 months prego.. But still its like 2 months away.. Man oh man..
Today started to be a productive, then just went to hell..
Got the Magnum Header installed this afternoon..
Install went very easy and quickly.. But my mom failed to inform me of the cooling issue..
The 01 overheated twice before we even go to the shop and another 2 times trying to get home..
Sux'd huge donkey balls driving in 95+ degree weather with the heater max'd out, stopping to let the car cool down ,and the multiply fill-ups... The last time it did, I let the car cooled and took a look at the t-stat while on the side of the road to realized that the lil f*cker never opened.. Yea sux'd..
Took some nice shots while me and my bros were at the shop..
Gonna flush the radiator out tomorrow, replace the t-stat, fill'er up, replace the neon shifter with the pt's, paint the calipers, install a painted valve cover, and maybe install a mopar front lip..
Need to get a hold of another set of 1gn acr/rt springs to get rid of the 4x4 look..
More parts for my 02 showed up today...
Almost looks like the BUX/Canadian Cluster now.. Gonna grab some of the cluster rings to add to them too..

Well managed to fix the cooling issue and added some color to the bay..
Need to add a set of strut bars, paint all the yellow caps black, and add some more color somewhere..
Last but not least.. Added the pt shifter and paint bezel..
Too hot to do anything else..

Yea tell me bout it... I'm the lead packer at my job so I in a microwave oven all day..
And yea I had to take out the pt wheel cuz I couldn't find a giod clock spring for it.. The neon one worked for a bit but sometimes my mom wouod lose the ability to use the horn.. I've actually been looking for an 03+ wheel to put in it too, just no luck finding one and everyone that I come across has either blown the air bag or tan...

Actually it was pretty easy... I've done this a mod a long long time ago to my neon but sold it when I swapped a mtx..
All thats needed is to cut the base studs of the pt down to match the neon's, swap over the neon transmission cable link (the pts will work but the neons shorter so it makes it alot easier to bolt up), and thats all to it..

Finally installed my Spec Stage 2 Non Modular Clutch..
Didn't take as long as I thought it would..
Tranny drop and old modular clutch removed..
Funny think about this clutch is that the seller claims it holds 350 hp and tq.... I call BS.. More like 250...
95 Non Modular Flywheel and Spec stage 2 Clutch installed...
All done and put back together.. I took some outside of the shop shots...
I can finally put some real power down now..
Gotta break it in of course, install alcohol/water injection, then I'm hitting up a dyno to get some graphics..

T350 or t850? I just bought an ACT hd pressure plate and street disk for my swap
PM me for your 00+ PCM SKIM/VIN flashing needs. Neon PCMs Plus
Uriahrr: Tell me about it... It was fun... Everything went smooth besides put the tranny back in.. It took us bout 4 to 5 hours to do... Thats including letting the neon cool down and multiply things to do around the shop..
Sidepipe: t350.. I have the 3.55 mtx.. Fun in the sun
Measy: Thanxs bro.. I'm definitely anxious to see how much power I'm making..

Crystal: Thanxs and I decided to go with the 3.55 neon tranny cuz its easy to find over the 3.94 (r/t mtxs) /Srt and mainly cuz the shorter gears build boost faster.. A while back there was huge debate on with mtx tranny was better for boost and N/A on neons.org... So when I did the all the swaps It went into the design..
Fac3l3ss: No pulling bro.. Bought the overlays off of ebay.. Didn't wanna get the ricey white ones, and I couldn't find a BUX/Canadian cluster to life so I went with the overlays.. Once I put the chrome rings in they look like the ones I want..

Wow!!! Really.. Didn't know that.. Looks like I learned something else today..
Almost forgot to post this..
More parts are in for my 02..
~Chrysler Grill
~Magnum Intake Manifold
~95 Cam
I ordered a Magnum Fuel Rail Cover but I haven't picked it up from the dealer yet..
All thats lacking power wise for it is a long tube header, Modern UDP, and Trubenz 2.5 exhaust piping.. Need to get her running her soon..

Only the sohc 95 cam..
The 95 cam is the hotter neon cam thats a direct drop in (6hp over 96+ neons) unlike the magnum r/t cam were its recommended to swap in stronger cam springs (magnum or crane; gain 8hp over 96+ neons; gain 2hp over 95 cam)..

More work on the other neons...
Grabbed some good condition sxt front seats, relocks, and cluster gauge pod installed..
Also grabbed a rear sway bar from a 1gn r/t that we didn't installed yet..
The 01 has the mopar front lip mocked up for it.. Gonna finish the install this weekend..
Sorry for the crappy pics, they were taken with my iphone and hella sunshine..
Of course it'll be painted to see much better and lined up..
Pulled these springs for the 1gn r/t from the jyard that'll be installed on the 01 to finally get rid of the 4x4 look..
1gn rt/acr springs aka mopar lowering springs..
Nothing done to the 00 as of yet.. I have bout 200 more miles to put on the clutch so that it can be properly broken in..
Random shots of the neons and a local trying to get some glory..

Tam: I sorta didn't... I started to hate how it flared out by the wheels and she kept running into parking bumpers with it..
And besides that it didn't really line up or flow with the r/t side skirts..
Smiley: nah, not yet.. Its going on the purple 02.. Have to figure out why it wont start before I load it up with parts..
