u need to paint that thing
dodge neon
Also known as a Piece-o-Shit, this car has to be the worst car ever made. Although it may look cool and have a great name, this car has many defects. Everything from gaping holes in the back floor panel, to missing interior, from failing clutches, to having the clear coat applied before the paint, this car takes the cake as the worlds worst idea of a car.

transmission won't kick into fifth gear. caused the engine to overheat, and the thermostat to blow.
thermostat replaced, car runs steady heat, but still won't kick into fifth. i'm assuming it needs a new trans...

looks like you put some good work into it, but IMO would of looked better if the valve cover was red, and you did everything else silver. my 2 cents...

Call me stupid, but are you still modding it and reaching a goal even though it's for sale?

Oh and your goal for the end of 2010 is either dumped bone stock or dumped bone stock on a brighter day?

awww shit, they weren't supposed to be the same pictures. ha, my bad. but i'm not gonna sell it. i fixed it, so i'm keeping it for a while...
my buddy can get me cheap suspension, so i may go with that, and i got a set of wheels today..

$120
16x7.5 sport edition

The rear wheel rubbed behind, not on the strut, but on something else, connecting from the side... so i took it off. only the fronts are on. so hopefully i'll pick up some 5 or 10mm spacers...

Yeah, with the width of those wheels and the offset, they are probably rubbing your lateral link. If it's barely rubbing, 5MM will be fine.

***EDIT***
last night, driving to work, my o-rings in two of my injectors went out, leaked fuel everywhere, thanks to some friendly advice from mr haganracing, i was able to get 8 replacements for eight bucks and did all four injectors :thumbup:
