thats exactly how i am. and thats why i started going into Mech Engin.. but then it became way too theory for me and i got sick of it.
First I'll start with the engine and drivetrain:
-Rebuilt 2.5L NA Tall Block with adapted Neon DOHC head.
-2.5"Full exhaust treatment from the head to the exit.
Hooray! Now you can forget about getting one of those impossible to find MP long headers and go with the mass produced neon headers!
-Custom carbon fiber air box around throttle bodies with cold air duct to a naca (I thinks thats what its called) air scoop in the hood.
yeah, thats the ones. i got one here i was putting into my daytona's hood.
-custom calibrated 2.5 turbo computer and adapted harness (probably a wiring nightmare but who cares
)
maybe not. im talking with my calibrater right now and he really doesnt think making a cal for a neon head app would be hard. As long as you start with an SMEC preferably. You just add fuel and spark for whatever it needs. You may be a test mule for him, but the computer doesnt care what head or engine you have. Just as long as it supplies what's needed.
-Koni's (of course, if they can be found that is)
-Lowering springs (1" or so would do, if they even exist)
splurge and do coil overs! Someone on the FMML put them on his 87 GLHS.
