Hey all,
Since it was a nice day, I decided to wash and wax the money pit and take some updated photos (no more flamed tint!!).
Let me know what you think:








-Rich

you know yours is really the only neon Ive ever really liked. :lol:

no offense meant to any other neon owners I just havent seen one that i like until this one...just not a big fan in most cases. But damn

Good work. Very clean

you obviously have to much money on your hands. lend me some for the skyline. looks great though.

Paul aka Godzilla also has a very clean r/t , both have awesome taste when coming to modding there neons.

Rich's car is way nicer than mine. Mine is just a daily driver turd

Shut up Paul. :P

I'll grab a picture of a daily driver turd Neon and post it here.

my car gets 60 miles a day min. it gets a bath once a week at the most. just a driver

same with my zx2

Yeah, but that's all about to change, once you get that other R/T up and driving. It'll be a beast when we're done.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. It's far from done. I ordered my RC 550cc injectors and Walbro 255 in tank pump Friday for the mega squirt setup. Should be taking it to Omaha the last weekend of this month. Hoping to take it to the stereo shop next week to get the rest of the trunk finished up as well.

Hey Rich, we ought to get together and get some recent pics of my car. The only ones I have are from 2001 when I was racing it. :cry:

Definitely. I took those pics out at Corporate Woods and then over in the Sprint campus parking garage. I'm sure we can find some more good spots too. And now that I have a video camera, we can get some movies too.

why you using photobucket you have a kctuners account now..its so much better :D

I don't want to use all your bandwidth for other sites that I'm posting on.

unless you plan on having ppl view the pics 30,000 times each (a month)..your gonna be ok :) ...go for it, I moniter bandwidth and I doubt we'll ever have a problem...least anytime soon.

I agree... I don't think I've ever seen pics of it but that thing is DAMN clean. Very well done. 8)

Thanks everyone. Hopefully once the fuel is straightened out and it's making the power that I want it to, it'll go back to the paint booth to fix a certain local shop's work.

What kind of power are you looking for and what do you have done to it?

Everything untuned made 279.6 whp and 240.5 tq on Imagine Auto's Mustang Dyno. That was on roughly 15 PSI of boost.

My future mods include new RC Engineering 550cc (52 lbs/hr) injectors, Aeromotive 1:1 regulator, Walbro 255 lph in tank pump and a full Megasquirt stand alone air/fuel, spark/timing controller. That should allow me to fine tune everything. I want to put down around 350 to the wheels when all's said and done.

Rich, I keep meaning to tell you its Overkill Kreations and you didn't list that fancy custom nitrous solenoid bracket I made

I never knew that. You never told me that dammit! Oh yeah, I need to add the bracket.
