Yea I thought I might try to get some better wheel covers this time. Maybe like an OE setup for another Chrysler vehicle.

Ok everyone, update time....

So I havent been on here much lately, I got consumed with my other vehicles and life in general. I still have my little Neon, still ticking away, quite well actually. I need to do a heater core in the car (Im dreading that) and then its t-belt, water pump, etc time...

But for now, my update is I might be buying these wheels/tires from a buddy of mine and I need to know what you guys/gals think before I seal the deal. (I know, I need to lower the damn thing too)

18" TSW Revo's (custom drilled for our bolt pattern, from TSW)

215/35/18 BFG's (well two of them are anyway)

They look OK, but 18's are too big for a Neon, IMHO.

Well I have put my 16's back on for now and for winter (since they are all seasons). I replaced my dead heater core over the weekend (What a pita) and now need to reseal and recharge my A/C system in the near future...

Then my trunk light stopped working and I have determined that I dont have any ground coming out of the latch when the lid is open. Anyone ran into this? Do I just replace the latch or is there a repair I can do?

Sweet buddy I appreciate that... I actually am trying to add cruise to this bad boy. I have the vac actuator and the vac canister, but I need the wiring harness, the clock spring and the steering wheel mounted switch. Wanna help me out?

Yeah I will go out there this weekend and see what I can come up with I seen that there is some cruise control stuff for sale in the parts section on here not 100% sure but don't you need a steering wheel from a neon with cruise or can you just add the switch

That's funny. I use to live near 104th and Huron.....that was forever ago.

Dang, changing the heater core is no small task. Good job!
