01 r/t thought i would start one since i'll be trying to keep her in good shape.
First test drive..........

???? yes i bought the car without even turning her on or even without a test drive. This moring i was finally able to take her out for 2 hours and wow simply wow. sure drives better then my 2k automatic or the 97 neon coupe. I can really feel its power very wonderfull and happy i bought her.... I think next neon will be a srt-4

small touch up to the r/t cleaned up the headlights. I decided not to buy projectors, want the car as clean stock as possible

Its for the light in the ATX shifter. It lights up/dims with the dash lights if you put a 194 or 168 type bulb in it.

I used it to run power to my switches for my "demon eyes" and interior LEDs. Pretty cool when I hit my lock/unlock because it all blinks with the parking lights

dealership told me it was by the previous owner. I'm getting prices on how much to repaint the front and rear bumper, they have some scratches and chips that need fixing. but I'm thinking on just respraying the whole car next year.

i hope thats not how you left your endlinks, they need to be tightened up more than that.
