It Runs and drives, @14psi for the moment. I've beat the crap out of it for ~250 miles so far to break it in, changed the oil a couple times also. Just finishing up little things so next year I can go to the Track, US131 Martin MI. Its deff a blast when the tires are trying to break loose @50mph on all but the best roads.
My name is Matt(aka SpeedEuphoria), I have a 1989 Dodge Spirit that I have been working on for some time it was a 2.5 SOHC Turbo car but it is a 2.4 Dohc Turbo now. I wanted to build a beast of a sleeper, but still look good. This car has no radio, wipers, heat or a/c because I dont need that garbage in MI. It will have functioning pwr steering. I have big plans for the car.

This project has been labor intensive as well as knowledge intensive. I have learned many things about older TD's, neons, 2.4's, and SRT4's. Well I found most of my info for my setup on these sites:
