from humble beginnings....

Post by greybox » Mon Aug 15, 2011 4:45 pm

2000 Plymouth Neon...
first steps = repairs so not a lot of photos..
1) spark plugs
2) booger shifter bushings
3) pulled a .com banner off the trunk and 'debadged' it
4) VW passat vr6 wheels and Toyo Proxes (205/50-15) Image

5) timing belt and water pump done, heck no, I paid to have it done but found a great deal at $412
6) new plus wires and coil (factory new stock)
7) cold air intake Image
Image

8) pulled molding old carpet out and truck bed liner covered the metal for now
9) new tail light seals Image
10) removed door moldings Image

Wires are OBX, they are descent quality and between that and the coil they did make some difference-they were like $30 w shipping from ebay

Youre gonna want to plug that hole up for the sensor on your CAI or your going to be getting fine debris, dust, ect in there.

Thank you all...the springs/struts got rid of a stupid clunk I couldn't track down too so better ride, looks better and one less issue...

that CAI photo was mid-install so I hadn't gotten the washer and air hole plugged yet ...good catch though!
