So far what I did was build a cold air intake by using an APC cone filter, a J-Bend from a Lebaron and the connector from a 96-99 Neon. I placed the air filter in the fender on the drivers side. I upgraded the plugs with the Champion copper series and 7mm wires. Next step is going to be a throttle body from a Neon with an auto trans. Looking for a feul rail possibly, found a universal but not sure how to make it fit a Neon. Anyone Modify one before?

No need to upgrade your fuel rail unless you are just wanting looks. If won't give you any HP benefits.

going for looks and the fact it needs to be replaced because it is worn thin, not sure whats up with all the aluminum parts looking brittle in this car.

Throttle Bodies~ I got mine for $100 off eBay but got a www.throttlebodies.com magnet

Pully ? dunno, not much drag...

Get a mopar ECU and/or PCM *whatever they're call it. $300 +/-

Run ONLY 93+

Grab a header and high flow exhaust...

Next steps are Cams, High compresion pistons, stronger rods, clutch upgrade and axles...

You should break traction 52 mph. cool video on YouTube.

the throttle body that i purchased was 30 bucks from the bone yard, now just trying to figure out how to clean the aluminum well enough that it stops sticking before i replace the one in the car with it, my parts washer didnt take enough junk off of it, its clean, the metal just looks pitted or something from being weathered.
