Put a jet engine on it! That should more than take care of it.

Change to a MTX transmission, you'll gain a second in the 1/4 mile just by that.

^ yes and no. you have to know how to drive a standard transmission first. then you could knock off that second

Yeah, an MTX would make it much more fun.

but im not mechanical inclined so it would be really hard for me
i would have to make some reading somewhere to start...
so youre tellin me this owuld take around 2 1/2 days?

well... i did a whole engine this last week at work in a focus in 2 days. just make sure that you have everything lined up ahead of time

a wrecked doner car ...

mostly the tranny, linkage, pedal assy (including the fluid resiv and hoses) ...

flywheel / clutch assy ...

i am sure i am missing a peice or two ...

just find a neon that has been rearended or something along those lines that you can pick up pretty cheap only need the front clip off of it ... from the dash forward ...

yours will have all the mounting locs .. may just have to pop a few of them open ...

MAKE FRIENDS.

90 percent of us do major work with a friend, and as we were learning, that friend showed us stuff.

Plus it means he prolly has a car of his own and if you need to you guys can make a parts run for unexpected items you need.

All of us were mechanically challenged at first. That's what learning is about

Word. I started on the Neon in 2003 and didn't even know how to change an air filter. Now I can take apart an engine and put it together, swap a MTX in with a blindfold and learning fuel tuning too with a standalone, now what was is ppp again and how many degrees was that at what RPM. Stick around, search, read, buy books. You'll get there.
