look at spud now. dam. hot girl in the seat ofhis sweet car A+... dont run it to much for a week or so till you break it in good. it would suck to have all that get fouled up because of something like that. gratz on getting it running though. sounds nice too even on them stock cams

 

I LOVE THAT SOUNDi look up to your r/t

im guessing that sound is unachievable from a nearly stock neon

 

-the rod pis in the gallery was out of my old blue r/t...i was racing a friend of mine in his grand prix gtp and just as i hit the rev limiter for 4th gear the car lost all power....drove it about 4 miles on 3 cylinders..when i finally got it ripped apart, the piston and rod were in the oil pan.....it totaled the motor though, you saw the rod and piston, crank wa marked up pretty good, the part o the rod that was still on the crank ended up taking chunks out of the block and clyinder walls, 3 of the valves for that cylinder bent pretty bad, 1 valve snapped in half, the piston was pushed up into the head and when it did, it actually knocked the rockers off thecams and chewed up the cams pretty good....
- the pic of the red r/t in the gallery was after i clipped a semi trailer at about 90mph....went to pass on a foggy day and ended up being another truck comming toward me.....i hit the brakes to fall back behind the semi i was passing, well the semi hit the brakes too....when i went to get back in my lane i clipped the back bumper of the trailer.....the bumper went through part of my fender and into the frame rail which left a hole the size of your fist.....when i hit the trailer i spun out in the car and ended up spinning a few times in the middle fo the road at 90mph (kinda scarry)....between hitting the bumper and spinning, i ended up breaking off the part of the controll arm that hold the ball joint, broke a fog light, broke the headlight, messed up the fender and bumper, broke 2 rear strut mounts, blew out one of my struts, broke an axel, and broke the top of the spindel where it connects to the strut....only thing holding on the tire and brake assembly was the tie-rod

Jr.
i think my wiring problem was because i clipped a wire in the engine harness that i shoud of kept there..once i hooked all the original plugs back up it worked fine

neonracer.
yeah i had the rims and tires on the dakota for a while....i just left the perellis on there...i havent even messed with the truck yet

boxer,
you cant really get that sound unless you have a turbo...
i plan on getting the car outside maybe today or tomorrow and i will get a better video, the exhaust actually sounds alot better in person then in the video...too much background noise..mostly from my dog

i do plan on taking it easy on the car for a while....i did turn the boost up to about 10psi though.....after a week or so i will crank it up to about 20psi

the driver is just my wife.....2 years this september....i cant complain though since she hasnt had too much of a problem with me spending about $6000 on this car in the past 3 monthes

 

when i get married. i hope my wife is as forgiving to me as she is to you. 6k holy crap.

 

Congratulations Spud... I bet you were excited when you got it started for the first time!

 

yeah i was really excited......but wumthin is telling me that i cant drive it[&:]
after i finally get the motor in and running i find out that i need a rear brake caliper........got a new caliper yesterday and while im bleeding the brakes i find out that one of my steel front brake lines has a crack in it and is spitting fluid everywhere......luckily i have another one i just need to put on.....and i need to get a new crank sensor O ring......hopefully i can drive it today

 

looks good spud. hope you get to drive it today. get some more pics and video!

 

yeah i think im gonna go mess around with it for a few minuites before i have to go to work....then hopefully i can finish it up after work

 

I wanna see a video of when the boost hits 20 PSI[sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

well hopefully in about a week....i cant wait to see it either
as long as sumthing else doesnt go wrong today[&:]
