well, got drunk thursday and friday night. didn't get to mom's till noon on saturday. got there and mom's basement was flooded from the combination of melting snow and a big rain storm. to top it off, the right front brake was locked up on the duster and was more of a pain than a financial burdon (only a $40 fix). needless to say, i didn't get around to working on the neon till about 4:30. got it pretty far, but still have a lot of work to do on wednesday if i plan on making it to chip's on saturday. then i decided to visit old friends and have a good night. so i only got to work on it for like 4.5 hours.

Looks like my engine bay minus the turbo stuff and the rest of my tranny bolts. Got any pics of the pwr st bolts?

well a coworker wanted to take my spot in the lame ass bowling league that i got roped into last night, so i got a few more things put together, like half the wiring back in, blacked out the intercooler, and finished welding the last piece of the updated exhaust

Lookin' good. Hope to see your handiwork (and, of course, you

) soon.

What the hell do you have the motor torn down again for?

Nice to see that Quaife got installed!

well, for those of you who didn't hear... i threw a car show on sunday and we brought in a dyno. now the guys don't seem to run into many high performance gassers as they're primarily a diesel dyno. they didn't know how to read the waste spark and because i'm running batch fire on the injectors, same deal. all i got out of it was horsepower. i'm very happy, even though it's obvious that i need to do some tuning in the top end.

Dammmnn! that's shitty! The wing, and both lips appear to have survived though! Find a clean OB shell and swap everything over

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 1:35 pm

I wish now that I still had my '04 E-blue SXT- would have been perfect for you to swap everything with.

Hope that you can get everything worked out before chipdogg's next meet.

Surely my favorite. I hope you find another blue shell l and swap it all over. I wanted to see this in person and didn't get to. Gladly your OK. I hope insurance gives you enough money for it.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 3:46 pm

well, this got picked up on saturday night. paid $400 for it. engine has 230k miles and has a blown tranny, which is in the trunk. the body is already in better shape than my blue one, but i'll be going through it and it'll be blue again by spring with some much needed mods

akirony · Post by **akirony** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 4:58 pm

400 for a good shell and crap trans. That's a deal. Sounds like you wont stay down for long. Awesome news.
