z3roneo's log: Neon is still sitting..

In the far away shot I like the stripe, in the nearer shot I don't. I think it's because it doesn't follow a body line, but it's more of a random line.

heydockyle:

Yea I know.. Gonna add more too..

Crystal: I see what you're saying but it was a pita to get the pinstripes on the "side skirt edge" (think thats what its called) straight.
And when I had them close to straight, the "Turbo" part of the sticker looked like it was being angled and I really didn't like how that looked..
Thats why I placed them bout an inch above that body line..

k-b-s-neon02: Thank you sir.. I have some more stuff up my sleeve just scratching to come out...

So now that the pinstripes are on, does this mean no paint for teh beast?

quick question... where did you get your coil on plug metal bracket, and if you made it can I pay you to make me one too?

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Mon Feb 07, 2011 9:29 am

Bought the COP plate off of ebay.. Haven't installed it yet cuz there's a flaw in the design..
Coil harness for #2 and #3 are too close so I have to redrill the mount holes.. Gotta take it to the shop for that..

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:09 pm

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 1:56 pm

Thanxs guys..

Didn't do what I planned this weekend due to some BS that happened to me cousin gf ride..
Some stupid decided to jack her rims off the truck and leaving it on blocks..
So the only thing I really did is install some new brake pads on the Compass and did some early V-day things with Kristin..

Did these mods this morning..

Swapped out the old rear sway bar from the 01 and installed the rear srt bar..

Got home and added this lil jew to the 00..

Gotta show some love to your roots..

srtjesse · Post by **srtjesse** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:09 pm

smiley · Post by **smiley** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:47 pm

Like the old school badge yo, been wanting to get one for a long time, how do you get em out BTW?

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 9:03 pm

Sway bar looks nice. Do you feel a big improvement with it installed?

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:25 am

srtjesse: Thanxs bro..

Smiley: Thanxs, It clips out of the dash.. My bros dash was cracking apart so I snatched it off before we threw it away..

Tam: Thanxs.. Not a huge difference but I'm pretty sure if I was to drive crazy in it, I would feel something..
As a matter of fact, I don't really feel the difference in the '01 cuz I'm used to the '00 Power

.. I just think its too slow now..

Evo Brake Cooling Guides..

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:27 pm

I love how psycho your car looks

. Interested to see how you get those to work.

ZeroChad · Post by **ZeroChad** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:45 pm

x2

I've been thinking about how you brought that up a few months ago! Are you mounting them to the LCAs?

I've been thinking about taking out my fogs and fabbing up a duct system.

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 10:36 pm

Dibs on Chad's fogs.

IC looks great, but I think I would've liked it better unpainted once the car's painted.

Ntyvirus1 · Post by **Ntyvirus1** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:17 am

interested in teh brake duct things, still not 100% sure what they work

Kezzo123 · Post by **Kezzo123** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:20 pm

These neon inovations are almost at legend status!!

But this can only be awarded when the thing gets paint!! hehe

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:37 pm

can't wait to see what you have planned with the break ducts...

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:07 pm

Crystal:

Chad: Yup.. there's a hole in the Control Arms that I used to mount the bracket.. I was actually thinking the same but I kinda like my fogs now so I left them in..

Tam: nah.. I don't like the silver aluminum look bro.. To me, it made the neon look like he had braces.. And besides that, everyone could see and recognize the IC.. I know my stickers kinda give it away but I like when someone try to pull on me..

Virus: they just channel cooler air to the brakes..

Kezzo:

I hear ya bro..

Nate: Thanxs bro..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was distracted by the 1gn..
Thursday morning, me and Tony (other brother) went j-yarding and found the power window stuff for the 1gn..

Did the drivers side and will try to do the passenger side during the week..

Friday, woke up extremely late from pulling a double and only played with the Coil On Plug Setup..
Had to drill new holes and open some up to help the wiring out..

And today I fixed an exhaust leak, finally installed the radiator/dual fans, and played with the Brake Guide brackets..
Radiator..

Brake Guide Brackets..

Only pic I have right now.. I will try to have them done tomorrow..

Also bought another front lip that needs some loving to fit the r/t bumper.. Not giving any details til its done and on so you just gotta wait for the pics.. And trust me, you like it..

Heading to the shop in the morning to help a friend pull/swap a motor in his 1gn..

Need to finish up some projects so the paint can fly.. I already added like 3 more to the list that I haven't said anything about..

Boy oh boy.. getting busier by the day..

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 2:53 pm

Went to Homedepot this morning and stated there for bout a hour or so.. Got home and fabbed these up..

The Material and Tools to make the brackets..

Both sides complete..

I'm probably gonna add a support bar to it just to make sure it doesn't move around..

Install them tomorrow..

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 2:11 pm

They're on.. Everything went smooth til I broke the pass. bracket so I had to stop and make another..

Full lock trun to see if they would hit the caliper.. They come very close.. Alot of adjusting was done to get them right..

And final shot of how they appear when the car is planted..

These are not 100% done yet.. I want to combine them with the porsche's to make them grab more air..

synviper · Post by **synviper** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 2:20 pm

Lmao dude you have so many little things on the car, like if you had to ever get rid of the car it would be like two pages of mods.

They look like they came out great hopefully they do what there suppose to do. Great progress as usual.
