Long awaited updates.. (Lot of pics... Go change your oil)

[z3roneo]

Man its been a while since I posted some updates on my ride.... My lil bros somehow manage to f'up my old digita cam so had to get a new one... Got it pretty much last week sometime and now I get to finally show you peeps what I've been up to...

What I have installed since the last update:
*03 Rear Bumper
*Mopar Rear Lip
*New Trunk Lid
*Black Led Third Brake Light
*Pt Cruiser Automatic Shifter Assemble
*Oil Filter Cooler
*Oil Sandwich Adapter
*Lil Engine Dress Up
*Smoked 03 Tail Lights
*Sxt Black Front Seats
*Rear Disc Setup (R/t)
*2.5 Side Exit Exhaust
*Aluminum Oil Dipstick Handle
*E-brake Cover

Just some exterior shots... Love the new look with the side exit exhaust, make sthe neon look really mean... I'm thinking of going with a muscle car look on the outside so I'm in the process of lookin for a 1970-74 Challenger Exhuast Tip... think it'll ook sexy as hell..









Rear Disc setup was fun and super easy to install... Next plans on them in to get some slotted/drilled rotor and powdercoat tthe calipers (don't know what color as of yet).... Will gettin better struts soon... Still on stockers with the rt/acr 1gn springs... Wanna get either some srts or the tokicos...


Motor shot... Plan on gettin another intake to paint match the blue theme, jmb perfoemance powdercoated hard radiator pipe, Blue Powdercoated Dog Bone Motor Mounts, Atx trans cover, and radiator cover..


Interior Shot... Car is very dirty at the moment... Its my portable tool box ... Love the Pt Crusier shifter alot.. had to cut the base a bit to fit perfectly but it didn't take no more than 5 mins or so.. Sold the racing seats I had cuz I didn't feel like shedding the money at the time for the brackets and a friend that was suppose to help me modify the stock ones didn't come through.. Got a all new dash to install.. Also getting new pillars as well.. after I done its gonna be all new interior including carpet..



Ordered but not yet recieved/installed:
*Black Projector Headlights
*Black Led Tail Lights
*2-12 Pioneer Subs
*800 watt Pioneer Mono Amp
*New Complete Dash
*Glow Shift tinted Boost, Oil Pressure, and Oil Temp Gauge
*Custom ELW spoiler
*H11 Projector Fog Lights

Test fitting the Fog Projectors... In the process of making the brackets and yea yea I know... they are not lined up... Just a shot to show you peeps what it'll look like.. They are hella bright.. I'll hook them up tonite and let you guys see the output on them..


Also... Saved up the money for the paint job (finally )... and here are pics of my boo boos that I need to fix before it heads to the paint booth...

Rear Lip of course... the bumper I have didn't have the x's on them so I just used the double sides tape that came on it.. It held up for a while til I noticed it to sag.. This weekend I'm pulling it off and hopefully drill out the holes right to bolt it up the proper way...


The passenger side front side skirt needs a lil work as well since it sticks out a bit...


And thats pretty much it... thinking bout molding the front lip on for now so it'll look like one beautiful peice when painted... And I'm also starting on the rt style lip here pretty soon on the new bumper which I think will look so much better...

Gotta lot of projects that I'm in the middle of like setup up the subs like I want them to and making the fiberglass boxes, custom gauge holder for the oil pressure and temp guages, the rt style front lip, and some fiberglass enclosure for the front door panels... Found a local guy that's gonna hook me up with some lexan windows, gotta love weight savings..

Wanna get the exterior squared away so it can hit the paint booth, only thing I waitin to come in is the spoiler, than it'll be ready...

Other than that I'll update as I get the parts in and installed...

are you boosted cause you have a bov but i see no turbo... i know ive seen pics of your car with an intercooler though.

[Mr Josh Zombie]

Of corse you can't see the turbo. It's in the back of the engine bay, just like every other boosted neon. They're a pain to see.

Yes, he's an auto boosted neon.

[KrackstaR]

man your car has came along way, verynice. are you going to keep it that color or are you still planning on painting it? Also what did you do with your Mercedes tails?

[z3roneo]

Yes I'm boosted... its like all over my sig ... and yea its an Fully Built Atx.. me and a friend rebuilty it with the performance rebuild kit from modern...

Pic of the lil snail power... Lil t25..

man your car has came along way, verynice. are you going to keep it that color or are you still planning on painting it? Also what did you do with your Mercedes tails?

Yea it has... from stock-to-Body kit-to sleeper... And nah.. gonna change the color... Only like one person on here knows what color I'm painting'er ( if he tells he's dead.. )... Only hint I giving is that it'll be an old school mopar color... And I sold the tails with the srt rear to a friend I meet not too long ago.. Bought them to see how they look tinited but I always had my eye on the led tails... I mean I like them but the led tails will match up with my led 3rd light..

[TNK]

looks good bud. whered you find your PT cruiser shifter, i need one for the skunk.

[z3roneo]

J-yards... seen them on ebay from time to time but its quicker getting it local..

[03sxt]

Coming along nicely! What happened with the stock taillights that are on there right now? They look like they got sanded or something?

[z3roneo]

Instead of using the regualr tint spray I went to the hobby store and bought some smoked transparent paint... It looks bett up close in person

Gotta be different than the rest yo..

Word.

[z3roneo]

Post a lil teaser on the gauge holder project...

Gotta spare cubby panel (chubby under the radio) for the j-yard and hacked it up for the project... its basically gonna hold the 2 oil gauges on each side and I'm gonna make it sink in the middle and drill out a hole for my in cabin mbc.. Gonna look sweet when done...

Here's pics of it hacked up, put a thin piece of plywood to give the shape, and wrapped with cloth from an old shirt (gotta lazy and decided not to go out and get fleece :p)






Next step is to sock it with the resin and add some fiberglass matt to both sides... hopefully I can do that tomorrow before work..

[MyNeonSaysHi]

Wow, you have done alot of unique things to your car. Total props. Hows the turbo setup running? Curious what turbo and psi you have it set on the 2.0?

[z3roneo]

Turbos running good but I have a small boost leak from the ic I have... No prob though cuz I have another just need to get time to get it put on and reroute the piping for it...

I'm running a Nissan T25 and at 7psi right now... Gonna head back to the dyno probably friday morning to tune it better with some 30lb injectors... and if everything is good again, I'll get the new ic on and set it back at 10psi..

I went to get it dyno'd like a week ago but couldn't go past 2 pounds of fun... Went home pissed and a huge headache cuz on the street I can hit 7 all day without any probs but couldn't do no more than 2 on the dyno... Found out that the bolts that hold the wga on was very very loose causing it to stay open which suxd.. Thats all fixed know so me and coupla of other tards are very curious to see the power and torque rating..

[MyNeonSaysHi]

You and a couple of other tards. Nice.

Good luck and be sure to post picts and numbers!

[yankeesking]

one dude from neonturners.org has primer black body car like yours. I love it! I want red primer, don't you think it looks good?

[NeonOn19s]

Thats all fixed know so me and coupla of other tards...

i hope that your not talking about me man...

LOL

[supertrick_05]

Lookin good man! Too bad you can't really see anything in the pics cuz it's too dark, but I can tell it looks awesome.

[catalyst]

I'm interested in seeing the finished product.

[01rtgurl]

I missed what front lip that was.... is it custom? I like it. Car looks good!

[z3roneo]

Don't know bout that... have to see it really...

LOL

Hmmm... could be...

I missed what front lip that was.... is it custom? I like it. Car looks good!

The lip its a type-m (mugen style) from a 00 civic...

And of course more pics will come...

[z3roneo]

Yay!!.. My amp and my headlights came in just a while ago...

(sunligth suxs)




Didn't hook the leds or the angel eyes up yet... I'm hook the eds up with the turn signals and the halo will be hooked up so there are on when the running lights are on...

My old headlights will be goin on the other 2gn..

I really like how they look... Now the next option I'm thinking bout is either adding some shortie eyelids to them or no at all... hmmmm decisions decisions...

[crowd00control]

I'd hate to touch your car sitting outside in the sunlight for a few hours in the middle of the summer O_o Look good!

Also looks like the passanger headlight doesn't fit properly.

[z3roneo]

...

And yea... I'm gonna play with it in the morning...

[popcornPIMPz]

Looking sweet man.

[z3roneo]

Led Tails are here and in...



And also got my hand on some srt struts...

[z3roneo]

Finally got time to install my new ic... Is smaller than my old one as you guys and see... It fits perfectly under the bumper and now I can mount my projector fog lights...






My lip broke while I was playing around with the bumper... Nothing to bad that I can't fix...


But gotta another 02 bumper and another lip to start on...


Car goes in tomorrow to get the new pipping on...

Bought a new brake boost line for my vacuum block... My current setup is leaking from hte plastic tees... So I bought the vacuum block so that none of the lines are teed off each other (besides the block which is drilled straight through the same id as the hose)...


Last but not aleast... New Snail to go on...T3 mopar style... Working on the mani now so if anyone knows where I can get a sohc exhaust flange, that'll be sweet...


Ported the compressor housing a bit...


Still needs a lil clean to do... I'm alos gonna redo my exhaust... 2.5 swingvalve-to-3inch cat-to-3inch resonator-to-3inch side exit with a 70-74 challenger tip...

[bombtrack07]

dude this is awesome, i cant wait to see how it all comes out!
