^^Why

? No such thing as too much Neon scenery.

But what is the story on your driver's side skirt? It looks like it is two different colors as it runs from the front fender to the B-pillar... or am I seeing things?

freerider · Post by **freerider** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 5:30 am

Nope, all one color. Must be the lighting...

hahaha!!

I drove this thing to lots of other states for sporting Events. In total it has been driven to 6 states, and I used to drive 3 hours on the interstate behind TONS of Semi traffic. The rock chips were just bound to happen.

Thanks for the uplifting confidence boost. It's ok, the beard scares the women away.

I have a stock SRT FMIC installed right now...

For this:

I am going to be doing it this winter as my winter project. Once she comes out in the spring... NO one will know what hit them.

"was that a neon?" "All I saw was some dumb

red blur..."

I had it mocked up in the first picture, but I am doing small things till I find a good chunk of time off to do this.

The gauges, BTW, all work except the oil pressure (simply because I don't have the T installed yet....).

Nice sleeper..

I'm a prick and I know it.... but why the hell would you do a photoshoot and not wash your car? Ok... a quick pic or two of new stuff... got ya. But 11tybillion pictures of a mediocre dirty car? Really..... Sheesh.

I'm an attention whore and I don't post that many pictures.

mopar4life · Post by **mopar4life** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:09 pm

If it had some wheels and lowered it'd look great. Nice pics though.

Haha, I HAD washed it the night before, but it also rained and got REALLY dirty. I live practically pay check to paycheck and spend what I can on my car... when I can.

I know she is dirty, I know the car doesn't have anything really special about it physical features wise, I know that it's a neon. But, who says you can't take an 11tybillion pictures of your pride and joy?

Plus, I had fun with a lot of those driving shots...

It's not you being a jerk... it's all true. It's a moderately upgraded (physical features wise) neon.

Under the hood is a slightly different story... but it's a photo shoot.

I like criticism, and I enjoy it, so keep the good and the bad coming.

(plus, for rims I have been searching for a great 5 spoke wheel set for the longest time that I like... and have YET to find a single one that looks great imho.)

nice- awesome pictures!

Andpto · Post by **Andpto** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 3:47 pm

looks good man... i was wondering when you were going to be done with the project..

are you going to switch to MTX?

freerider · Post by **freerider** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 6:28 am

The project SHOULD be done within the next month. Every weekend I am working on a small project. For example this weekend I am replacing the fuel pump. The weekend after that I am moving the coolant box. The weekend after I plan to grab a stainless steel braided hose for my oil line and an AN fitting for my oil return.

After that... it's going to install time. Most minor things aside, all I will primarily be doing is tuning fuel with the RRFPR I have.

Pictures are all on my cardomain (for anybody who really cares) along with a full project "blog".

Enjoy.

Hopefully this will get done soon... having these parts in my closet is killing me!!!

I vote for side molding removal and new wheels!

freerider · Post by **freerider** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 1:03 pm

You know, a lot of people tell me 3 things:

1.) get clear corner lenses
2.) remove the side moldings
3.) new wheels

I like the orange markers a bit more. I think it looks much cleaner than clear markers (on flame red anyways). Plus it looks less flashy.

The side moldings, imho, add a little bit to the exterior lines of the car. I have debated taking them off... it is REALLY easy. However, it just was never a look that took off on me.

I have been looking for a very nice set of 5 spoke rims. 16" for a bigger wheel, wider tire, and not too big to be too heavy or hurt my acceleration (I Autocross, so it's all factors). All I want is:

- Simple 5 Spoke Design
- Silver/Black with metallic lip
- 16x7

but... *sigh* nothing I have seen on tirerack.com, edgeracing.com, and others just don't seem to appeal to me.

Wheel sites are much appreciated in a PM though.

You don't care for the Rota Slipstreams? Light wheel, simple 5 spoke design.

freerider · Post by **freerider** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 9:01 pm

I do, and I want them for pure race use. I am looking for a simple design for everyday driving.

Ah, got ya.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 11:54 am

lose the spoiler and tail lights and you have a damn sick car

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 2:21 pm

Car looks good! Nice and simple. Picking out wheels is one of the most difficult things to do for a car IMO. I agree with you on the clear corner lenses, I think they look great on silver and white cars, and some black but other colors not so much.

Can't wait to see the project unfold and finished

freerider · Post by **freerider** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 5:39 am

Thanks.

Something about white corners on a red car just never did anything for me.

The turbo project goes well. I am finishing up some minor install stuff and possibly relocating my engine coolant reservoir. We will see.

That is all a different thread though.

I might get more pictures. I got her all cleaned up and damn she looks good.
