So got some shitty news... found out that Im going to have a damper on my modding process.. my head gasket is leaking and I dont have $400 to cough out to replace it at the shop and since Im not at home im pretty limited to my tools.. hopefully I can get the headgasket for not too much and do it myself, so that I can go out this weekend and get new parts for my car!!

Things to do/get this weekend:
- Got bulbs to change my HVAC, domelight and gauge cluster(once i get one with a cluster w/ a tach)
- Get a cluster w/ tach from wreckers
- Paint interior black to match the rest of my inteior
- Start looking for a leather interior at wreckers to do the swap
- Get windows tinted

Thats all i got planned for right now.. Well I have more plans.. just I dont know how much ill have to spend on mods right away.

K well I ended up having to wait all this time to find out.. hey the mechanics I went to are idiots and all I did was check my spark plugs again and boom.. one spark plug was missing the head that connects to the coil wire.. and i wouldnt have noticed if I didnt pull it out..

So I got paid also, and have around $500 that I can spend at the moment on the car:D

Ha of wat? It looks like a bag right now.. lol.. the hood kinda started rusting and i didnt know till i took the bra off when i got the car.. and me being an idiot... i through it away, instead of leaving it on till i got a new hood:P

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 10:06 pm

with that five hundred, you should get a new hood then!

strykr · Post by **strykr** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 10:09 pm

Ya I planned on getting it replaced lol.. just I gotta find one thats in amazing condition or im not buying it! Cuz my car still looks new

But thats only $100 at the wreckers around here, so its not a problem:)

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 10:16 pm

good

K so went to the wreckers today to get my power windows/doors and found out that the body wiring harness is $100 on top of $50/each door.

So unless I find out EXACTLY wat I need since everyone one seems to not be completely sure on here I wont be doing it:( And I REALLY wanted too!

But at least I got a new faceplate for the stereo and HVAC controls wrapped in carbon fibre, and a new cluster with a tach.

Went out and replaced my air filter with a new K&N filter, then removed the resonator box lid. Im getting a REALLY nice deep note coming from it now..

Had the WORST looking air filter on it before, because one of the screws rusted too bad and I stripped it last time replacing the filter, and never got around to getting a new screw/removing it.. so i finaly got it off and it had to be replaced so i just decided to leave the lid off till winter, and only during winters put it on so that the moister doesnt ruin the filter..

Im also going to be getting a new exhaust this week, probly just the muffler tho.. i want something that has a deep note, and not a fart-can sound!

So...no pics of car cause it's a bag, or because it still looks like new?

Pick up some Racoon headlights

And I've seen cars far more "bag" like than yours, she just needs some TLC

.

strykr · Post by **strykr** » Sat Aug 15, 2009 9:58 pm

Ya.. well I plan on getting tints and probly lowering springs for my car.. or adjustable coils.. i want it lower.. but not to hit bumps and feel like a damn gokart like my brothers and his friends lowered civics..

EDIT: And wat are raccoon headlights? never seen/heard of them.. link would be nice too if u have one?:)

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Aug 15, 2009 10:01 pm

Please don't get the ebay coils, get something of higher quality. I doubt your car will ever feel like those civics since we just cannot get that low. Good plans though

strykr · Post by **strykr** » Sat Aug 15, 2009 10:05 pm

uhh actually ive seen LOW neons, but thats with wheel well/fender modding.. i wasnt planning on ebay ones.. was gonna get ones from andys auto sport..

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 1:05 pm

I'm sure you have but outside of the 1gn that posts on here most haven't achieved that without air ride....you just won't get "honda" low with springs and coilovers. Unless you mod them like the 1gn did.

Andy's auto sport sells COs?

They are headlights with a black bezel on the inside instead of the normal chrome one. They look very, very nice on silver Neons.

Well, let me take a few minutes and see if I can't photochop something up for you.

Edit: Alright, so not the BEST photochop I've done but you get the idea.

They'll look killer with a black hood.
