My "fail" car

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Sun May 23, 2010 7:23 am

Title says it all.

Pics of it with no exhaust and a busted ass downpipe. I drove it straight from the body shop to the muffler shop so we could hang the exhaust.

Pic after a donut and putting on 2 rims. Exhaust was on at that point as well.

Finally mostly put together. At least enough to drive. Turbo piping is back in place and anchored. Still sporting a black eye on it. Need to fix my crash bar to work with my Morettes. Need an intake and I can actually show under the hood.

The front lip is CF along with the crosshairs. Trunklid is a CF PVO molded CBD that is half painted. Overall everything turned out great I think.

Please..... tell me how much my car fails.

Not as bad as my candy cane car fails. I personaly think your car looks nice I like the black crosshairs

*cough* carbon fiber crosshairs *cough*

I wish they were just black. Would have been cheaper. *LOL*

I'd rock the shit outta yer car. I'm driving an old BMW daily right now. Would love to find someone to trade it for a Neon.... *hint hint*

So why one black housing and one chrome housing? What's done under the hood?

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Sun May 23, 2010 8:29 am

did you install that built motor you had? or still waiting?

He can't find his other chrome or his other black housed headlight and to top it off his Morette headlights won't fit with the current BFMIC crashbar he has. He just picked it up from the shop Thursday.

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Sun May 23, 2010 9:49 am

Just picked it up Friday at 5pm

I helped a buddy out by giving him one of my chrome housings because the body shop replaced his black housing with a chrome. He needed the matching light to sell the car and he was supposed to get me another chromey. With all the BS thats happened I forgot about that detail until I picked it up Friday.

The engine is stock internals except for removed balance shaft assembly and 2.0 cams. Its got less than 100 miles on a fresh rebuild complete with new pistons and rods. Its got bolt ons but nothing serious. I'd guess it to be around 270hp with everything thats done. My biggest fail is that I only have a stock intake for the car. Unfortunately the CBD AI hood doesn't work with the stock intake so I have to pull the airbox off at shows to get the hood to sit right. UGH.

looks good i'd rock it! you might catch shit for the lambos but oh well...

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sun May 23, 2010 10:09 am

I forgot what day it was lol I thought it was Saturday for some reason. Fail on my part Max.

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Sun May 23, 2010 10:13 am

Fail C-dizzle.

I can't take the doors off now.... had em on for too long. I didn't mean to take a pic with them all BLING BLING open like that.... its just how it turned out. We were getting in the car and I decided to snap a quick pic. We were getting shoes at Shoe Carnival. WIN!!! Buy one get one 1/2 off. WIN!!!

Plus soooooo many people ask about the doors its insane. And people who don't like lambos always comment on them becuase they are real LSD's not off brand garbage.

Does that mean I can come grab those wheels and see this failure in person?

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Sun May 23, 2010 10:44 am

I don't like the lip. The rest is good to go.

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Sun May 23, 2010 11:27 am

Yup.... wheels are ready to go. I gotta pick up 2 of them on Monday from the muffler shop but the other 2 are in storage. When you wanna do the dealio? Have any 03+ headlights? *LOL*

Lufkom · Post by **Lufkom** » Sun May 23, 2010 11:50 am

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Sun May 23, 2010 12:17 pm

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Sun May 23, 2010 12:45 pm

Damn... I know for a fact he had mint Chromies and he sold em cheap months back

Well done. Love the color and the show rims. But since you asked about fail... Lambo doors on a neon = fail. Let alone a 4dr neon if that.

Ah mang, I like it.
Lambos are a little bling, but at least they're not the cheapo knock offs.
I love that blue.

i think the car looks hot man

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Sun May 23, 2010 3:24 pm

everystime again nice to see your car!
wanna see pics of your engine - it must be a killer!

what's up with the headlights??
I thought you have retrofits?

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Sun May 23, 2010 3:40 pm

Thanks guys for letting me know its a fail car. *LOL* I know the lambos are to each his own. Four door or not.... I like em.

Carsten.... I have retros but can't find the other one in my storage. Have the thing filled to the roof

The morettes don't fit because of my crash bar.

I still have the chromies in Germany but haven't sold em yet. Wish I could so I could afford the little stuff to put my big engine in.

Overall I think your car is nice. I just was never a fan of that particular hood. I really like what you did with the trunk. Nice job.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Mon May 24, 2010 2:06 am

I dig this car. More than when it had different bumpers / skirts or something on it. I sold my chromies for crazy cheap a while back as well. The dealio will happen in a week or two, if it's all good. PM me if you'd like, so as not to clutter up your thread.

I'm Adam, and I approve of this failure

I like this car! If it's such a fail, ill trade you my whip

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Mon May 24, 2010 3:06 am

Hey Max you are like Jason with all your boxes after movement.
He also told me that my parts are "somewhere in the house". Grmpf - and i need them soon...

Btw: Did you already add one more box for me to Jasons chaos?

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Mon May 24, 2010 7:45 am

I'm really trying to decide if I should put my caliber SRT4 badge on the trunk or not. Kinda looks plain back there.

The wheels will be here Adam. No rush man. PM me when you are ready and we can do the thing.

Carsten..... I haven't shipped it yet. Not even sure why. I guess cause I wasn't sure if I should ship it to you or Jason. And Jason has a new mail box now right? I don't have his address. He hasn't talked to me since I moved from Germany
