Really? There will be NO gains?
Either way, this car is going to be sexy as hell. And you can't deny that an UDP makes the car more fun to drive for sure.

There will be small gains! My car has the MPx UDP and AEM CAI and it does fell a little better.

However w/o boost or juice it will never be a "fast" car. But they are a lot more fun to drive then a non Magnum neon or god for bid an automatic car!

ngc will never be fast its been proven...ask hudson neon...fully built ngc didnt make crap for numbers on a dyno cause the pcm...i say stay away from anything ngc....very nice build on the old car 1st time reading this log and i was pretty impressed. Also i am now planning on stealing the lip idea...I have a 2000 flame red with the 02 front and a chry. grille very very nice and the lip will look nice with an intercooler behind the bumper and behind that there will be a FULL Stage 2 srt swap I'm excited to see the new car build

Yeah but didnt Hudson have a bad run where his timing was off?

Thanks for the compliments. Your car sounds pretty sweet. I'm not looking for a "fast car" really. Besides, a stock R/T will be faster than my 3 speed auto anyway.

Can you get me an address? I'll take a ride up there for you. I can even look locally around by me. Does it need to be an R/T?

It's 1175 State Road Westport, MA 02790

And yeah R/T is definetly perferred. 01-04. But if not I'd still consider it...

The place is actually a lot further from you then I thought lol.

Bah. Those colors can be nicely "done-up."

Do it.

By the way, sorry to hear about the loss, Anthony.

Thanks Mike. Your car comes to my mind when I think of how I'm gonna mod it.. How'd you tint your tails? Spray or laminate?

Did you find out what time they are open until? At least that way I can give the car a once over before you spend the time driving 4ish hours to get there.

I'm the person all of my friends take when they buy cars LOL. I used to sell them, and being ASE helps too. You tend to know what to look for.

My real name is Crystalmarie and I take my car everywhere its my daily driver so yes I'll have it. I'm not going to go to any shows tomorrow so if they're open after 3 tomorrow I can go then. Either that or I'll go Monday. I'd like to be able to have at least an hour or two to go over things. I'll take the Nikon and take detailed pictures of everything for you.
