so i have a huge air leak in my indy intake manifold...witch is why i keep over reving the neon when i test the turbo and why i cant get the fuel to idle where i want it...i thought i fixed it before but i found another spot...i dont know if its all of the manifolds but i thought i would give you guys heads up on having to grind the sides of the runers to make room for the bolts...i left 3 bolts out because it was to much work yeah i know thats stupid but i was in a hurry and its alot of bs like the other mods it took to get the manifold on

and ps the top and bottom of the intake connect poorly so you have to pretty much sillicon the whole thing...so good luck taking it apart lol


so heres another quick recap on the manifold...you need:

a custom radiator hose
to grind the outside of the runers
to grind the throttle body if its a modern performance 60mm
to silicon the top/bottom connection for air leaks
to make a custom egr valve set up and sillicon that to lol
find a few fittings their to cheap to give you
and some time to think


although i will say this...with all the stuff on my car...i can hardly shift anymore in wot lol its lost its charm...its still in my head even though i havn't driven the car in months....30 and 55(the shift points) come very very fast and my car wasn't on the street it was on a small dirt road lol...i keep trying to part my baby but neon lovers are to cheap...how can a clutch ive never used and is still in the box be worth 400 dollars less come on people i took 100 off lol

 

oh and you have to drill slots in the radiators upper mounts so you can move the radiator out of the way XD on sohc cars...im not sure about dohc cars or other manifolds

 

That sucks about the intake...

Dumb question, but why dont you just take the clutch back to wherever you got it from? Even without a recite they've got a record of it somewhere. If they still wont take it back, if you paid with a card you can dispute the charge... Dont put up with lowball offers when you dont need to.

thats not a dumb question the promblem is ive had it for a year or two now...i tried they wouldn't take it back XD...its not like i wont need it but its a $700 clutch and it runs fine without it lol...ps they lie about the clucth on neons being weak

 

What parts store chain, and the location of the store? (PM me, might beable to help)

If you have the recite it wont matter if it's 10 days or 10 years old... I'd escalate it to a regional manager. Again, pm me the store info... If it's an Advance or anyone who goes through partsamerica, i can definetly help. If not, I am in retail and can help you solve that problem...
