Any tips for removing tint? The bottom half of my rear window is being a little bitch.

Public Disturbance · Post by **Public Disturbance** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 8:46 pm

steam is how i did my back window you cant use a razor like the other ones because of the rear defrost lines but steam and a dry cloth worked great for me and if you are retinting them make sure all of the old glue is off

Well, my defroster lines are already shot since I promptly used razorblades, but I digress. I steam it then rub across it with a dry cloth? The angle down at the bottom is soooo tough to get to.

Well guys, I havent been slacking. I got a shit ton of stuff done over the last couple of days and only have time to update some of it before my next appointment. Lets see here.

You guys remember this?

Would you have guessed that after sean worked his magic, it could look like this?

I unfortunately haven't gotten a chance to install it yet, as I have a spark plug tube leaking a little oil so, I wanna get all the seals together before I swap it over.

I got myself a ebay CAI

Sean powder coated my battery tray to match the valve cover so, I had him PC my CAI in wrinkle black while he was at it. Here is what they look like installed.

I also decided that the blown speakers were not match for my beloved RB4 so I gave them a nice little upgrade.

(old speaker on the left)

(old speaker)

(old speaker left new speaker right)

I complimented the new alpine rears with a set of pioneer 3 way 6.5s up front. It sounds freaking awesome all together.

Next I got all my lighting mods by caraudioholic in and wired to a switch in the center console.

(these two are led bars under the srt seats.)

(Switch that controls it all)
Blue defroster switch from him.

Blue LED switches.

I ordered a badass custom EL Hvac overlay from speedhut(WHICH SUCKS ASS AND I COULD NEVER GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY!!!)

So there is a small update there is a shit more but I gotta get ready for a meeting. Let me know what you guys thinks. Thanks.

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:29 pm

thanks emoxihax and welcome to the party. for you and everybody else....more progress.

What the front end looked like when I got it.

notice the busticated ass fogs, and hazy ass headlights? decided to do this today

Then I did these

Working fogs for the motha effin win.

A couple of days ago I decided to go ahead and get my aluminum cluster bezel installed.

and then it installed with some better shots of my blue LED cluster.

Swapped my 02 taupe outer steering wheel for an extremely worn out slate one.......theres kind of a difference

And did I ever tell you guys I love my Rb4?

Back to stock hvac overlay

Maddog 52% STS, MP Billet weighted knob, and custom leather boot.

my "CUSTOM" battery strap bc I dont have the rear battery clamp lol

This is the big one here. had R34 throw this together for me. This is the final draft for body and paint. Hope you guys enjoy

viewtopic.php?t=61838

Finally two sisters side by side (My neon and Sean's neon)

Money is tight right now guys, but free time is abundant. As the cash comes in so will the updates. Keep posted guys and thanks for the opinions, advice, and feedback

RobsProjectSOHC · Post by **RobsProjectSOHC** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:58 pm

ive been thinking about this design for a long time...r34 did a great job, looks good. I dont wanna steal it, but maybe team up and ill go green. see ya at the car shows, lol. Also i like how your blue led cluster came out, no fades in any spots from what i call tell.

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 12:21 am

Damn quite a bit of progress! A lot of attention to detail with your car. Would love to have a RB4!

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:13 am

NyNeon0813- Thanks man, like I said, probably a year to a year and a half for body and paint, but I will get there.

RobsProjectSOHC- Thanks man, and go for it!! I would love to see the same design in green. I would park next to ya at said shows. lol

MyNeonSaysHi-Thanks bro, I try to pay attention to every detail, however it does mean a lot of work. Get yourself an RB4 or even better a RB1

Also, where in Kansas are you located? If your closeish to omaha come on down!! lol

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:25 am

Gardner, KS. About 35 miles south of KCMO. Nah those things are too expensive. I see they go cheap sometimes when people don't know what they got. We might be making a trip to Omaha this summer to see the zoo!

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:46 am

Well hell ya brother! I'd love to see that sexy S3 in person. lol

Little update. Over the weekend I got the new valve cover on and the pcv system rerouted. I made a ghetto oil catch can out of an air compressor air/oil separator. it's actually catching a little bit of oil already

I will get new pics of it all installed and cleaned in the next day or two.

Thanks for all the input guys

your car is awesome. We need to talk. I have a few ideas for mine but I don't know which direction to go in haha.

I have designated you as my "go-to" guy...lol.

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 12:29 pm

feel free to hit me up anytime, and welcome back to 2gn brother!

Jerome Adams · Post by **Jerome Adams** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 10:36 pm

Your doing it all wrong...this is suppose to take years, if not decades. LOL

I'm gonna have to check out those SRT4 seats. I am considering a Corbeau racing bucket, but could get a whole set of SRT4 seats for the same price as 1 Corbeau Forza wide

Passt · Post by **Passt** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 10:53 pm

Wow the car is coming along nicely. It's too bad that HVAC overlay didn't work out, that was pretty sweet!

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 12:42 am

Jerome-LOL I tried procrastinating but, I got bored, what can I say? As far as the SRT seats are concerned, you were right, for bigger guys like us it can be a bit tight in the shoulders but, they hold you where you want to stay still in the corners.

Passt- Thanks brother, unfortunately as cool as that overlay WOULD have been, I tried two inverters and still couldn't get the thing to light correctly. not to mention the y F**ked up my order three times! it took 3 shipments before I actually got everything I ordered. The first package sent to me was a overlay for a ford fookus!!! I will never go back to speed hut

but, anyhow. I got a lot done over last weekend. lets see here,
New brake pads up front, (the old ones were getting a little scary....)
Seafoamed the girl, installed the new valve cover using felpro gaskets

and threw together a simple air/oil separator for a simple oil catch can. I also took the time to reroute my throttle and cruise control boden wires.

PICS

Next project on the list is to degrease and shine the engine bay for the first time of 2012. Then.......eventually,..........COILOVERS!

Thanks for all the input guys, and keep the comments coming!

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:22 am
