Ok well i never thought this would happen but it is, i am buying a neon, only reason y i am buying it is b/c its turbo and a 2door
its got
-60k miles
-newer clutch
-2 yr old tranny
-t4 turbo w/ DSM IC
-begi rrfpr
-1:1 fpr
-40 lbs injectors
-energy polyurethane inserts
-kyb struts
-eibach springs
-17'' eagle rims
-boost gauge
-tinted windows
-good black paint
-7'' flip out TV(lol)
-black headligh housing
but the bad is no A/C and no P/S, so if anyone wants to sell me the A/C stuff and install it, ill pay you good and will help if needed, i would do it but by the time i get home from work im dead ass tired everyday.
Ahhhh Nick!

I got you covered on the a/c & power steering stuff, we'll meet-up this weekend. Make sure to check the engine mounts. That's a very common place for wear. I'd recomend Deyeme Racing engine mounts to replace them. Checkout FloridaNeons.org (http://www.floridaneons.org) www.neonspeed.com Neons.org - The best neon site on the net! (http://www.neons.org)

SRT tires will not fit in a 1st gen, you need to reduce the profile of the tires a bit to get them to fit, and stop making excuses about why you are buying a neon, we know you're just a closet neonphile....heh, welcome to the world of neons...have fun and dont turn up the boost if its stock blocked, and for god's sake, get a bigger I/C...that damned SMIC will heatsoak quick at anything more than about 200hp
p.s. whats so bad about no power steering or A/C? its a light car and getting into the winter now, A/C I can see wanting, but the only time PS makes a difference is below 5mph

yea PS isent a issue but AC is, I am looking to get a SRT4 FMIC or sumthing cheap for now.

the SRT I/C wont fit if you use A/C, the compressor will get in the way

sounds good, screw ac and ps i drove for a long as time without either. plus with those removed it cleans up the engine bay giving extra room to work on things. is it a sohc or dohc? anything else done to it besides a turbo?
.Seth.
10-20-2006, 04:07 PM
umm nothing really else done yet other than,cartech begi rrfpr,1:1 fpr,
40lb injectors, and the turbo, im lookin to get a FMIC(SRT4) if anyone has one cheap enough and want to install it for me, i work to long and to hard to try to do it myself after work lol,
but im hoping to get it tuned and new turbo lines next wkend or so at DC
.Seth.
10-20-2006, 04:08 PM
and its a DOHC 420A
Josiah

nice...as far as getting it tuned, if you dont want to mess with it...somewhere with a wideband(such as race related) and just explain how the RRFPR works(though I am sure they have already seen a billion of them)
.Seth.
10-21-2006, 04:00 PM
^yea idk who im going to go to yet, i jus want a conservative(s/p?) tune, I beat a 95-98 cobra yesterday on the way to work only shifting at like 5k, so its still pretty quick but i can feel it wanting more

power steering will be an issue when the rack and pinion start to go bad..
.Seth.
10-23-2006, 08:15 PM
well im geting ps evetually but idk when exactly yet, probley in a few wks, i have other shit to take care of, aka rent, debt etc.
Josiah
10-24-2006, 07:20 AM
I've been driving without P/S for over 2 years and have yet to have ANY problems w/ the rack and pinion...what are you talking about? they have been making manual rack and pinion since they first started...power steering really has nothing to do with the rack and pinion unit
