the only problem is they have one less gear (usually) and aren't as fun. but you keep the turbot spooled better when dragging!

Or two in my case. :razz2:

NoName, neons are very easy to find for cheap. After about 4 years, their prices crash. Though there won't be a lot of improvement from an auto to a manual in your case, it may be your best bet. Sell your current car and get a 5-speed, or find someone who'd be willing to trade.

If you really want to put a punk kid in his place, you might want to start somewhere other than a neon.. :dsmrule:

yeah I think I will start saving for my Eclispe I want...and leave the Neon alone

that's the spirit! but you can do free mods to any car. is this car nice enough to keep in good condition? because if it's crappy, i say advance the timing, unplug the knock sensor, gut the cat(s) advance the cam... if you can. uhhh, what other cool things can you do.. strip it of all unnecessary parts, like carpets, seats, spare tire and jack, and all that good stuff. then cut your springs to lower it and save weight.

cut the handle down on your auto shifter and say it's a "short shifter" lol. take off the hood, then take off the bottom part of the air filter box, duct tape the filter to the top part, and pull it up into the air stream, and duct tape it there, now you have ram air. get dryer hose and pipe it from the front to your brakes for superior cooling.

also deflate the front tires a bit for better traction when launching.

do you have the sohc or dohc 420a?

[FattyBoomBatty]

oh i forgot, you can always junkyard-turbo it!

if you have a welder and 50 bucks, it can be done.

Why would you want to unplug the knock sensor?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I hope he was joking.

Actually, what you said about saving up for the eclipse you want is your best bet. But make sure you keep your neon in good running shape. Don't mod it or anything. You will need a spare car for when your eclipse breaks after modding it too much. ;)

Seriously though, if the neon runs good and gets good gas mileage, keep it that way!!! You will really like to have it around when gas prices go thru the roof or when you need to haul around more than one extra person. It's always nice to have a fall back car.

the only prob right now is the trani is leaking a little and the I like to shift myself....I mean I shouldn't but it is more fun. so I am hopfulling going to go this week sometime and get that checked out. hopfully it isn't fucked up if it is then I am mad, but Kemmy knows that I fucking beat the shit out of the car but whatever.
