wheres the turbo?

tulesto · Post by **tulesto** » Fri Aug 27, 2010 3:03 pm

there is no turbo my gf just put the sticker on

but all this talk about turbo im really thinking on going turbo

only problem is the neon is auto and i have no idea where to start

esfan · Post by **esfan** » Sat Aug 28, 2010 12:54 am

lol

no ricer allowed so no turbo sticker should be on there.

I don't think it worths turbo on an ATX neon, just stay with N/A or swap a MTX in first. That's the majority I heard.

Be sure to post pictures after lower! Cannot wait!

Take turbo sticker off, please...

The girlfriend will get over it... if she really loved you she wouldn't want you to be a ricer.

Go 16's man. You'll get a bit more tire, still look good and fill out the well, and they're cheaper.

tulesto · Post by **tulesto** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 5:33 pm

they dont have anything good in 16 though

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 5:47 pm

I would like that style in a 16. Personally, I'd also try to find some without the universal bolt pattern too. I dunno, just seems cheap to have a bunch of unused holes, ya know?

try tirerack.com, discounttiredirect.com, or wheelsnext.com

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 6:23 pm

Yeah, you can get a multi-spoke or mesh design in 16s. Maybe not black and a polished lip, but gunmetal, silver, gold, etc... shit, they're cheap enough you can just paint them yourself.

It's still cheaper...Look @ legit sites, not necessarily those weird shady ones that people keep referencing lulz.

^ Well-said. There are MANY wheels that have that same design that you could probably get clearn down into 14" wheels.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 6:28 pm

^ Great (cheap) minds think alike?

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 6:34 pm

Got that right. I look at wheels all the time, even cheap, affordable wheels that people buy by the 20s, and I set goals to save that money and get some. Sub $400 wheels FTW, even though I can't afford them.

tulesto · Post by **tulesto** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 7:11 pm

wow i love you guys hahah those look sweet i may buy those... thank you for your help guys

think these would be good tires for the rims...

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 7:49 pm

MOST of us are on the same budget...AKA cheapest tire in the proper size (likely 3-season since you're getting rims too). I've got zero problem spending $45 / tire haha.

tulesto · Post by **tulesto** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 8:12 pm

this is why i like you guys haha

DetergentCandy · Post by **DetergentCandy** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 8:24 pm

Those ASAs are definitely a good looking wheel.
Best mesh design for the price, IMO.
I almost bought a set, myself.

Get whatever tires you want. Cheap is fine if you're not looking to track it.
I hear great things about Kumho ECSTAs. Under $80 a tire, for good all around performance.

tulesto · Post by **tulesto** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 8:34 pm

i was actually looking at kumhos but i just lost about $600 dollars on lowering, new hub, bearing and allignment soo im a little low on the cash but after i get the car back ill probably slow down on spending.

the onlythings i want now are new rims, SRT4 seats (thanks to ryan), Blueish tint headlights and a mopar rear lip... maybe some sort of side skirts too

but illl post pics of the car lowered in my progress log by friday i promise

tulesto · Post by **tulesto** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 5:31 pm

ok i am now lowered

esfan · Post by **esfan** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 6:19 pm

Well it looks clean and nicer after lowering, however what I'm wondering is the wheel gaps. Kind of needed a settle down probably.

tulesto · Post by **tulesto** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 11:32 pm

i know that does bother me but its ok cause i may go bigger wheels

also will these work in my halos?

Depends on your goal. If you want a car with some go an auto will be fine.
