Default Hello

Hello, im new to the forums. I figured this would be a great place to share info with other dodge owners. I just recently aquired a 1995 dodge neon and i plan on fixing it up quite a bit. First thing i would like to do is see if i can get some more bottom end torque out of it. Any ideas?

To better assist you, tell us about your neon engine. Is it an sohc or dohc? What condition is you neon in. Had a recent tune up? Is your car a automatic or manual (5sp)?

For the time being, pull the pan on your automatic transmission, and replace the filter inside. Also clean the magnet attached to the atx pan. Also change oil, coolant (if not BRIGHT green), and brake fluid. New champion/NGK plugs (none of that pltinum BS-not good for neons), and a new air filter element(K&N).
