Engine Mods:
- K&N drop in filter
- R/T Magnum intake manifold

expand

--> Magnum intake. I bought this used off neons.org.

expand

--> Did a mild port/polish. I never did this before, but I think it turned out pretty good.

expand

--> Sanding the outside of the intake.

expand

--> Removing the old intake and installing the new one.

expand

--> In order for the butterfly valves in the magnum intake to work, you'll need to hook them up using a RPM window switch and a relay. Here is an image of the wiring diagram I used. Because of the way it is connected, I didn’t need a switched +12V source. The down side of this is the fact that the Harlan RPM window switch is always powered on. I’m hoping this won’t cause problems down the line.

expand

--> Instead of cutting into the RPM signal wire, I decided to add a connection right inside the connector. The connector is a bit of a pain to dissemble, but it looks very slick when its all done.

expand

--> And finally, the relay and RPM window switch. I’m very proud of this setup. Everything is hidden in the fuse and relay center. This thing has a spare spot for a relay and fused power supply. All you need to do is add some wires.

expand

Brake Mods:
- Mopar ceramic front pads
- SRT-4 rear disc conversion

--> If you hate the look of your rear drums then I suggest you do this SRT-4 rear disc conversion. All you need is the backing plates, ebrake cables and hardware, calipers, pads, and rotors. Everything will bolt up to your stock knuckles and hubs.

expand

Suspension Mods:
- Stock SRT-4 springs
- Stock SRT-4 24mm front sway bar
- Stock R/T 19mm rear sway bar
- Vibrant front and rear strut tower brace

--> Installed my used SRT4 springs. They were a bit rusty so I sanded them down and painted them red. Not a huge drop, maybe about 1/2 inch. Got them for free though so can't complain.

Before:

expand

After:

expand

--> I picked up a used SRT-4 24mm front sway bar and painted it red. Great upgrade for the Neon

expand

--> I bought a used R/T 19mm rear sway bar and painted it red. I made my own custom adapter brackets in order to connect them to the struts. Rear sway bar adapter brackets now on sale!! Click here.
