General tuning advice?
Hi,</P>
I'm based in the UK and I'm about to buy a 1996 Neon LX.</P>
Over here, that's the 2.0l version with an auto box, air con and folding mirrors.</P>
There isn't much of a market for tuning Neons over here <IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">, but wondered what is possible through basic bolt on goodies. I will probably have to get them shipped over from the US! <IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>
I've so far found that wheels that fit the latest VW Golf will fit the Neon, as well as lowering springs.</P>
I've been unable to fine any tuning parts such as ram air filters or exhaust systems.</P>
Are there any brands or suppliers you can recommend and ideally ship over to the UK.</P>
Thanks</P>

The Neon's have a 5 X 100mm bolt pattern, so most wheels with the same bolt pattern will work. I do not know if any of these places handle international orders or not, but check out these places:

the UK huh, so do you drive on the left side of the road over there?</P>
If so what's it like, it'd seem that shifting with your left hand would be weird. or fun, it'd take some time to get use to I guess. Good luck on the mods.</P>
