Stuff to come within ~2 weeks:
1. 30% tint all around ("Happy Birthday!" says Staci)

2. Buff sideskirts

3. Get rear QP quote for fixin'

4. Work on wiring for 3rd brake light.

5. Find out why a bone stock exhaust system is loud like the Neon.

6. Yank ricer AFR.

7. OE lugs / steelies

8. FELPRO exhaust manifold gasket. This fucker whistles if you're over 1/2 throttle.[/quote]

The bolded is basically done. Car gets dropped off Tuesday morning for 30% all around. $160 out the door, 5 windows. Thanks ma! Exhaust gasket was crazy simple. Honda FTW. Took me 5 minutes.

Here's the first actual pictures of the car. Dusk and poor cam skills FTL. Also, note my epic Honda rot.





















Tried to capture my ricer blue / purple headlights. Output is way better than the Neon, but the JDM scatter is pretty win. Idk, just needz moar white.

Also, might drop it back down another 1/4" or so. Headed tomorrow for a rear QP quote.

Found out tonight that I've got a leak near the axle-back rear section. I'll get it buttoned up with a buddy until I can swing a solid exhaust. Other than that, I'm just saving for rust fixing and then I'll really dive into it.

Is there any way I can change the thread title to show what I've got now?

Short update, although still lacking pictures:

Exhaust is on, and sounds like poop. Vibrant muffler will be delivered tomorrow :)

Roof rack is on, but I'm still waiting for the fairing, so hopefully that comes this week.

OE grille / emblem should be here Wednesday, so this fake Si grille is gone.

Car still burns through oil, so I suppose I really should toss that knock sensor in and get some VTEC going (current ECU is CROMED).

Pics soon? Meh. Nobody looks @ this log because the title talks of a Dodge Neon.

So where did the neon go? Because I swear I saw it today on the other side of the highway.


BTW, what do want your new thread title to be?

:rofl: Thanks fellas.

The Neon is off in uhh...Greenwood, Indiana. Or around there. It's had 3 owners since I sold it in May, so maybe it landed in your neck.

If we could title it "FAC3L3SS's '96 EJ6" that'd be legit. Thanks!

Now what you're all here for:

Two words:

I'mwearingaflamesuit becauseIdriveadirtyasscar

Thanks man. Car had some gremlins when I got it, but it's square now so I can focus on personalizing it like I want. Modding FTW.
