Now, the plan is to upgrade the hell out of her Neon so she will like it as much as she likes my truck!
We bought it about 4 years ago pretty much as it sits now. I added the Ebay intake and thats it. It has been lowered a good amount and had the required fart can sticking out the back. Loud as hell, we are too old for that noisey crap, plus she actually got pulled over for it a few weeks ago!
Last night I disassembled the throttle body, cleaned it all up, modified the butterfly (knife edged and countersunk screws, etc) lubed up the bearings and put it all back in, and made some changes to the intake mounting.
Also took up the slack in the throttle cable, feels much better now. Today the project was the exhaust. After reading as much info as I could on exhaust, I bought a Chinese knock-off Flowmaster 40 series and a 2 ft Thrust glass pack. So far the muffler is installed and it already is quieter and more of a growl than a raspy sound. I think the Glass pack should quiet it down a little more.
The car is pretty much stripped down. We did add a nice deck and a 12" sub and amp, but thats its. Future plans include:
- Power windows
- Power locks
- tint windows
- Alarm system/remote start
- Power sunroof
- ?
