well im still working on a couple things but...i will be trying to start the car in a few days maby more. i want my gf to be there so it might be awhile hopefully this weekend i can't wait another week[>:]...anyways i have got it 99% done so...hopefully there will be no problems...i still need a new cat so i think i will get the mpx 3' cat back for the turbo(so i don't have to weld it)...and the battery is charging...it was fine the other day but it was dead today so i a little worried it has been three months or more so im sure it was just the battery.

also i have not got the new clutch or my $300 bov on but i will do that after it runs....i will also put a circuit breaker in for the battery when i do the clutch.

 

Why?

 

it's better then a fuse...old trick my mentor tought me...it makes sence...if you blow a fuse you need a new one...if the circuit breker trips you can reset it.

 

Fk Man whats takin so looong!? With your cash flow I'd have had 2 Neons Pimped out by now...lol I'm excited to see it once your done so don't keep us waiting!.

Oh as far as the circut breaker goes Its a good Idea but Idon't thinkit will solve why the fuse blew in the first place or in your casewhy it tripped the breaker. You still have to track down the short. Kind of useless unless its allready installed. Kind of like having a remote for a TV thats1 foot away from the couch, nice but not a must.

 

cash flow and luck are not the same thing...i have had more 'fun' with this build then any other...if i had all the parts and the time it might be done...worst part is i have to get a real job now so i have to drive my race moddedstratus...stripped it to the bone...i put most of it back together for my gf to learn how to drive but damn it shaved3 seconds off my 0-60 not bad for a free mod. i need a cat though so my neon can be legal...oh andthe battery was just dead i recharged it and it all works fine for now i cant wait tostart it...it dose look like next week though...maby modern will finnaly have my rota whells by theni ordered them at the same time i odered my f-ing turbo[:@][:@][:@]

product reveiw time

i ordered the mpx coilpack heat shield and it was ok but the damn thing needs some mods for a sohc...also i could not use the back bolts but it works.

the mopar performancefront engine mount with prothaneinserts kicks *** real easy install and looks good too

i am talking with modern for a new spark plug wire...one of the spark plug wires did not have a metal thing inside.

and if you have not yet bought some chromed ambersidebulbs...get them it looks f-ing awsome...i got them because of how dinky it looked with just amber that hood makes it stand out to much

 

I cleaned 200lbs of **** out of my trunk and I am kicking *** by leaps and bounds.

 

lol i saw the pics of your trunk when it was full...so slashhow is your turbo running?...


alsoim thinking of doing the 100k tuenup when i do the clutch

 

Its running great! Thnx for asking, I still havent got around to putting the Walbro in yet because of an early snowfall here but even without the car is running great, I'm running 5 psi right now till I get the newfuel pump in, she really kicks hard when I punch it, it almost intimdates people when they hear the whistle of the turbo and the blow off valve pop. I did the 100k tune up at 124,000 when my water pump had enough and ****. I didnt do the head gasket cuz it still held pressure and doesnt leak anywhere but pretty much the only problem I have is a leaky valve cover Gasket that leaks all over the header and loses about a quart a month so I'll fix that later today, it leaks by the EGR side and runs to the back. Its been hovering around 4-20 degrees Farenheight here so I didnt have much incentive to go tackle that job just yet.

Good luck on your car Doug!
