You can see the new intake and engine dressing in the above picture.

UPDATE: Here's a pic after I got the new Motegi MR7 gunmetal wheels put on. They are only 16x7's, but I think they still look sweet. Right now, they ride on Pirelli P7000 tires, with excellent grip. Also, I have yet to post updated pics of my engine, as I recently installed a Short Ram Intake and some engine loom and stuff.

Right now, I have yet to do much, save the new Clutch, Motegi wheels, and MazdaSpeed Exhaust. I plan to install a Kenwood DVD system, with JL Audio subs and a custom enclosure in the back. Right now I just have the Alpine CDA-7892 and some really nice Boston Acoustics Rally Series component speakers from Tweeter in Fredericksburg. Due to my Mazda warranty, I can't install performance upgrades unless they are approved by MAZDASPEED. As a result, I have to wait for Mazda to develop and approve of a turbo before I can put one in. I do have a CAI on order though.

Updated Interior view with the new Alpine Head unit, I also had Boston Acoustic Rally Series component speakers installed.

not to be rude or any thing but the srt 4 is a slow pos even though it is a neon it doesnt take very much to beat it connsidering the srt 4 is fucking hella heavy way bigger and gots a low turbo. all it takes is alot of shit done to a first gens neon to be able to beat it or a 2.4 swap with like about 6 mods to be able to dust the srt 4 people use the srt 4 to much for grannit it aint all that it aint hard to mod a first gen to beating it.

It doesnt seem posilble, but aarneonboys lil neon can fucking fly, I only have seen him losse once and that was to a civic with a $6,000 engine. So yeah he is the 5 liter eater, and I also beat a V8 auto trans am, Not trying to brag, but neons are so underated, they are quick little rockets, anyway nice car,and I like your rims. peace
