dodgethisone’s 1997 Plymouth Neon

**Notice** Viejas Indian Tribe gives money to its members from your gambling dollars, thereby allowing unemployed spoiled brats to buy large trucks, drive erratically through your neighborhood and destroy your vehicles, and the best part is, unless you have great insurance to cover it,because they most likely do not, they're totally protected under tribal law and the tribal government won't help you out at all. Mrs. Shontae Carrizosa totalled my VW Thing and has made almost no attempt to compensate me, Viejas just told me I'm out of luck. Join me and boycott Viejas.Welcome to a Neon Essence pageThis car is sold!!!!!!!!! Hello my name is Kersten Falk, and thanks for taking a look at one of my Neons. A little about myself and my team. I'm 25 and live in San Diego, California. I am the founder of team Neon Essence which is a small only neon team which has at current 4 members and 6 neons. I have excused myself at the time being from the show scene for the past year, but plan to reenter hot and heavy with my white 99 and my green/blue 95. I have proven my white neon in shows with 4 first place wins. 2003 Importfest San Diego - Baddest neon 2003 Cajon Classic Cruise - Best hot compact 2004 Cajon Classic Cruise - Photographer's Choice 2004 Slam Jam Show N' Shine - Best sport compactI have also attended numerous other competitions and in the next year plan to do many more. I am currently interested in sponsorships for my team and we feel we would be very well suited to represent universal or neon specific products as we are well known in San Diego and have many connections around the world.Check out my friends and their pages at http://www.cardomain.com/profile/mikeypooh1 http://www.cardomain.com/profile/mrmagma http://www.cardomain.com/profile/neonrtownsyaAnd now some info about one of my neons.Here is my 97 ACR I purchased from my powder coater on October 30th 2003 and its been a fun project. So much was removed from the car in an attempt to retrieve some of the cost of modding it that I was left with only the more major visual mods.

This is my 1997 Plymouth Neon ACR. This started its life as a black neon fresh off the lot up in the Long Beach area (or something near that) where the first owner purchased it. I purchased the car in 2003 from the original owner who had given the car plenty of show. He had the car painted Plymouth Prowler Purple. The car has a full Wings West body kit, (front bumper, rear fascia, and side skirts. Wings West Commando Spoiler. This neon is 12 years old and is a great starting place for anyone who wants to be a tuner, but it does need some work. I can help out with some contacts to get some further upgrades and such, but I purchased this car to help out my mom so she would have something to drive other than my show car. This is an ACR edition, which means American Club Racer. This version of the neon is different from the R/T, more race than comfort. The R/T edition comes with larger front and rear sway bars, better geared 5th gear for speed, computer with higher governor 130 mph instead of stock neon 118 mph. The ACR edition has all this, but improves upon this further, most power options are removed, no sunroof, so it is lighter, no rear defroster, KONI struts, 2mm larger wheel bearings and hubs. I think that the ACR had some other stuff, but can't think of it right offhand. This car has DEPO clear headlights, Crystal clear front side turn signals. Car has diamond plate aluminum floor mats, white indiglo gauge overlay with an aluminum overlay on that. Car will come with some purple lights and quite an assortment of spare parts. The real pretty feature of this neon is that the previous owner used this car to start up a powdercoating business. The entire undercarriage of parts were all powdercoated on this neon. The control arms, sway bars, k-frame, and many other parts were powdercoated purple, silver, or gunmetal. My mom replaced the tires and clutch late last year, we've only put about 30k miles on the car since 03, not a huge driver, no trips etc. We just had some issues with the neon that have all been corrected. The neon's water pump went bad and was replaced, New timing belt put on, and some wiring issues to the lower o2 sensor (common problem on old neon's) have been corrected. I replaced the fuel pump with a walbro high flow model last year. Any further info required I'd be more than happy to produce it for you. Mileage right now is 110333 as of 9/1/09. I just got the car smogged tonight, this is not my daily driver, I've got 2 other neons. Uhmm other stuff, engine modifications are solid motor mount inserts, iceman cold air intake, modern performance underdrive pulley, and a blackdog fuel rail. Please email me if you would like to come and see it or have any further questions.

New SRT-4 seats added into the vehicle.  Car has no tint so the old seats looked like poo and were falling apart.  These seats are much more firm.  These are the airbag seats from the srt-4, not the racing seats, but these are still not stock style neon seats, still an upgrade.  These have bolsters that will hold you tight, but not so rough and solid like the racing seats, a larger person could sit in these easily.  Airbag system in these seats isn't hooked up and I would not recommend doing so as the srt-4 is a bit different in design.

The rear purple center caps are off the 2 rear wheels, they are in the trunk, the clips are broken, they could be glued back on, thats what the previous owner did, I choose not to.  The purple on the rear calipers is a urethane paint system, you mix 2 chemicals, brush the material on like paint, it dries nice, like powdercoat.  Have had on my white neon for 7 or 8 years with vinyl stickers and they have not fallen off, also clean right off like a dream.  I will include remainer of chemical to paint the front calipers, they are not done yet.
