Default What did you do to your neon today???

Well I had nothing else better to do today then tear out the A/C copressor thingy god that hit the floor hard... lol wasent expecting it to be as heavy as it was... got all the lines out... that was fun..., got the plate that the ac compressor mounts to... the dealy that is connected to the radiator for the ac. cut all the wires out of the harness that I dident need...

and found out that my long standing "vac leak" was caused by a bad pvc valve...

good day... lol


So I figured I told you what I did today to my car...

Now you tell us what you did to yours...

See how this thread works... pretty simple...

since we got the blizzard, i put my green Neons interior back together, put the doors back on, and began to put the engine back in.

Today i get to spend maybe 2 hours trying to get my red Neon un buried and into the garage so i can fix the coolant leak...and the blood stain...

I started up my neon last night to drive into the garage and begin the swap to my "gas saver" build on another block and instead found the soil under my gravel driveway too slushy and dug in so deep and fast on puny little 185 tires I had on temporarily that it's now sitting on my Moroso Oil Pan.

good thing those suckers are so freakin' solid--I'm going to have to drag the car up out of the ruts once I get home from work today.

yesterday got on offer i couldn't refuse. sold the DOHC and MTX combo to the guy down the street form the 95. then got a SOHC with 50,000 miles on it with an MTX attached to it.

hopefully some day ill get a chance to swap heads and try and go higher compression with the DOHC botom end.

I didnt do anything to my neon since its sitting 3000 miles away. but i did vacuume out the heater core on the Crown Vic since i had no heat it kinda sucked
I think it works good now ill have to see on the next cold day if not its time to tear out the dash to replace the heatercore and then flush the system
