-unorthadox underdrive pully -- def a good idea
-crane camshaft w/ crane valvesprings - what cam? have all the bolt ons and headers/ bigger TB to get the most outta a bigger cam... and a raised rev limiter
-headers (dont know which to get) magnum exhaust is good, any longtube is ok too,
-wings west RS racing 8pc kit (without fender flares)
-magnaflow dual outlet catback exhaust. 2.5 inch is recommened with a big cam
-AEM camgear
-MSD ignition spark plug wires

i would add a cai if u do not have one, mm inserts or solid ones.

i think that works.. its been a while since i was na.. forgetting stuff. other will chime in if I missed something or whatever

Instead of the Unorthadox just get the ebay look-a-like. I have the real thing and it was the exact same as my buddies fake. Weight and all.

Moved to the General Discussion area as this is a question pertaining to parts and not a review of the parts.

i highly adivse against the big body kit....trust me if you drive it daily you will hate it within the first month....i cant go over speed bumps, i cant exit parking lots that angle down, and it just sucks big time....go with a lip kit....it looks good and wont fuck up your new paint in the first few days

Adam_T · Post by **Adam_T** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 10:15 am

Lip kit? which lip kits do you think i should go with? I really want some type of lip or (body kit) that has a dual outlet cutout for dual exhaust in the rear...thats the biggest reason i want a kit. can you link me to a few sites and pics please? I would appreciate it a lot man.

Thanks!

Hell, he wont have a problem with the WW kit.
Those bumpers sit up HIGH. I think it actually only sets MAYBE a 1/4" lower than the stock bumper.

Adam_T · Post by **Adam_T** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 10:22 am

yeah i didnt think it looked too much lower...

but the rear bumper is considered a "COVER"

....will that "cover" still come with that dual outlet cutout it shows? I dont see how thats possible in a cover...

help? im new to this.

*shrugs* I don't know anything about the Wings West kit.

If you need to know, call them and ask. I'm 95% positive that the wings west kit is a direct replacement, and not a lip by any way, shape, or form.

Save your $ on any body kits, lip kits, etc. Go for the sleeper look.

00element10 · Post by **00element10** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 11:39 am

i agree, but if you really want a look of a body kit, i'd suggest just get the bumpers and sideskirts of an srt. i think they look better than any body kit on the market to be honest with you.

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 11:41 am

Or...get the R/T stuff, although probably much harder to find.

What are your goals with the car? Do you want 200hp or what?

Seriously, before you purchase any performance mods, tell us what you want to do.

Adam_T · Post by **Adam_T** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 11:46 am

I want around 200 horses and 200 torque. ballpark around there. and where can i get the SRT-4 body? ive been wanting that more than anything i can get!!! but i cant find!

please help. hah.

no nitrous by the way.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 11:46 am

Yea, see, you have all these people saying "save your money, go sleeper"

but... don't listen to them. Seriously.

Do what you want to YOUR car. It's not there's, they don't look at it every day. If you want a body kit, throw it on.

Live and learn.

oh.. you posted already.

If you want 200hp, go turbo. It's the only way.

You CANNOT get up to 200hp on a N/A 2.0 engine, unless you want to dump ALOT of money.

And don't ask what's involved in a turbo... i have a feeling your going to... just search and learn.

I concur with Opi.

Adam, is your car a Automatic or Manual?

I have the 8 piece and its a full replacement. also i have been driving daily with it for the better part of 2 years with VERY small issues around monster speed bumps

floyd do you have pics of your kit? im new to this site and if there are some on here i dont know where to find them. i wanna see what it looks like on your car though b/c i have the same color.

-unorthadox underdrive pully (any UDP is a good idea, I have MPx and love it)
-crane camshaft w/ crane valvesprings (get 12 or 14...apparently 14 needs fuel management to run properly...or budget get a mag cam and springs)
-headers (dont know which to get)...I have a mag header, didn't do much. Get a cermaic coated LT with high flow cat
-wings west RS racing 8pc kit (without fender flares) not a fan of body kits but it is up to you if you prefer show to go.
-magnaflow dual outlet catback exhaust
-AEM camgears (you only need one)
-MSD ignition spark plug wires...no performance benefit. Save the money and get something else like a CAI or a K&N drop in filter.

also if it is a manual, you may want to consider a STS (short throw shifter) and shift boogers. Get some prothane motor mounts as well (get the red race mounts). There are lots of ways to dump $$$ into you car, so figure out what you want to do before you start dropping the $$$.

what do you guys think?

i have a 2005 neon sxt

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 1:25 pm

You could use some manual transmission inserts too, i have some for sale right now, they are brand new..

Lemme know if you'd be interested.

Adam_T · Post by **Adam_T** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 11:03 pm

what are manual transmission inserts?

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 11:47 pm

Basically they are inserted into your transmission mount. They help firm up the mount for firmer shifting and less movement of the transmission.

I beg to differ..

I got on my R/T for a little bit yesterday and after i slowed down my wife said.. "Oooh, that turned me on.."

Anyways, i'll be doing that some more..I can only imagine what should we do if it was an SRT, haha.

I will need pitures of your wife in order to justify your statement

i keep hearing a lot of stuff about poly mods or something or another.....anyone help me out? money isnt an issue and i just want to do whats best for my car besides dropping an srt engine in it. haha

LCPLPunk · Post by **LCPLPunk** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 11:34 pm

Poly mods? The only thing i can think of might by polyurethane..i think the transmission and motor mount inserts are polyurethane, but i could be wrong.

Basically..you could use motor mount inserts, transmission mount insert, cold air intake, (R/T) magnum header, magnum (R/T) axleback exhaust

Crane Cam 12 or 14 depending on how far you want to go, the 14 is more aggressive, but you need more supporting mods.

You can also go with a Magnum head, but that would require a head swap, though, you would see some nice gains with a magnum head.
