B's Pee-on Now

[Turbo&Auto]

Since there's been some talks about Neon's lately and a couple people actually have them on here, I thought I'd share some pics of the progress on the race beater.

Here's what it looked like when I picked it up:

AND NOW:

I started by changing the seats and painting the cage. When I got the car it had no motor work at all, just a modified exhaust but nothing too too crazy.

Current Mods:
Eibach Sportlines
KYB AGX Struts
Front&Rear Sways
Energy Suspension Hyperflex bushing kit
Autopower Roll Cage
Frontr Upper Strut brace
Custom 3" CAI
AT TB 5.5mm over stock
P&P'd Intake Manifold
Pacesetter Header
Mopar Performance ECU
Mopar Performance Motor Mounts
Prothane Mount Inserts
2.5" HF Cat
2.5" Straight Exhaust
Sparco Seats and wheel
Simpson 5 point Harnesses

Next to install, already have them:
NX Wet NOS kit
Phantom NOS Pres & A/F gauges
Frog eyes gauge cluster with 2 pods

It's pretty quick, obviously not nearly as fast as the Accord but still pretty quick. I plan on getting a set of 3/4Race cams, should put the car in the 150whp range without NX. With the NX kit, prolly 200ish whp. Which would be plenty to keep me happy with a DD beater car

hey, it wasn't that dirty when you picked it up


looking good though

 

[Turbo&Auto]

I havent washed it since I picked it up True beater style.

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

pretty cool man. gonna do any body mods to it?

 

[Turbo&Auto]

Just a new paint job. Prolly no kit or anything like that. I like the plain look

 

[Seany-izzle]

please no kits, my old roommate had a xenon kit on his 4door RT, looked like shit... Plus he couldnt lower it because well... it'd be sraping on flat ground.

dohc?

i know its an scca car. but what do you think it'll make in the 1/4

 

[Turbo&Auto]

I'm hoping for 14's, low 14's would be nice, on the bottle. high 14's no squeeze. Its VERY light, small tires, good TQ and traction. If I hit a high 13 with the thing I would be EXTREMELY happy with the car.

I dont SCCA race, I have a couple times, but I mostly drag race. I like the cage though for ripping around the mountains by my house, the car is VERY stable and hard to break loose in a corner. I was surprised how well it could handle with the stock 14's on it

That motor can't take Nitrous. Believe me.

I've also got a set of headlights if you want them. And I wanna buy that cage.

 

[Turbo&Auto]

I have a spare set of headlights, along with engine, trans, brakes, control arms etc......

It can take the squeeze, csat iron block

 

[reikoshea]

why did you buy that car if you dont scca race. it just doesnt seem right. all it needs is a lil love in the right places (and those of you that know me, know how hard it is for me to say that about a neon).

 

[Turbo&Auto]

Fun to drive and pretty cheap. I showed it some love and have been daily driving it without any issues (lately)

 

[Celerity]

Keep that log book up to date. IT'll make a world of difference in resale.

Also, don't care if the block is depleted uranium - aluminum pistons. Don't spray it.

Heres a couple lil vid shots of it:

please right click and save as, 10mb file

I already bought the NX kit. I'll keep it low then to start.

 

[Celerity]

Just built a motor specifically for nitrous. I lacked the talent to get the tolerances right. The engine was just shy of $10k in parts.

 

[NissanNiNjA2nd]

I just finished installing a 300 shot on an LS1.... I am pretty sure ANY 4 cyl can hold atleast a 50 dry shot.

 

[Celerity]

You'd be surprised. The DOHC head itself is like a swiss watch.

 

[posol]

hell, bill's CX motor took a 75 shot lol
