New to 2nd gens

chipdogg · Post by **chipdogg** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 9:24 am

And now I just picked up a smashed 01 R/T.

Weird, 2 months ago I never had been in a 2g and now there are 3 in my driveway!

Well people gotta stop putting 01 r/ts on craigslist for $850 and 04 SXT's for $2200 and 00 Neons that just need trans fluid and cooler lines for $1000 or I will have 30 of them.

Wait, what was wrong with the 01 R/T again?

Damn... lots of parts I want. None I can afford, sadly.

Just out of curiosity however, how nice is that wheel?

Thw steering wheel is pretty good but I don't know how it's supposed to look. Make an offer.

Welcome, I haven't heard of you but sounds like you have a neon obsession which is awesome

. You need to get a picture of all of the neons together LOL

They won't all fit in 1 picture. I've seen less Neons at Neon meets than are in my driveway!

'Chip' is well-known on 'The.Org', he is a sick, sick, sick, sick man (much like me..... but between my brother and I, we have only 4 Neons in total, not including the parts car in the garage. )

Ah, pulled down your BS flag, eh?

Out of the 11 out there, 6 run and drive now! Got my MS2 back from Symtech and now the purple car runs again. Just gotta put in the Walbro and 2g regulator since right now, it takes less than 4 seconds for the pressure to drop down from 49 to 20 psi. Turn off pump and the needle on my gauge just drops. No wonder it ran 17:1 and leaner down the track.

And out of the 5 that don't run, 2 don't even have engines, and a 3rd doesn't have cams in it, so I'm doing pretty good now.

Chip, next time I blow my trans, I'm coming to you for a rental car...

I might get into rebuilding them actually. I've rebuilt 1 or 2 41te/A604's (incredibly simple) and torn apart 2 T-350's (and even put one back together and used it) at school.

I got the blown up 40te from the '04, will have a 3 speed from my sister's 95 soon that slips, and I have like 5 3.94's in basement that grind/pop out of gear/rattling noise etc. Already have a shop press, and have a very good source on rebuild parts and the T-350 trans pallet.

Oh if it blows up again, I'm doing an MTX swap, but I'll need a car for a few weeks haha

chipdogg · Post by **chipdogg** » Mon Jul 19, 2010 8:54 am

Why wait? I got the swap parts. Even a few trans choices. 3.55's for mileage or 3.94's for fun. Bring it up and we'll fix it up!

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Jul 19, 2010 9:00 am

I would imagine you want money for that... hence the waiting!
