Welcome to my Car Domain. I am the Co-Founder of Neontuners.org which is based out of Southern Pennsylvania. I have been building cars since 2002.
Here is a little history on the vehicle. The Neon is originally from Florida, and I purchased the Neon from 'Super Cars' located in New Jersey, which I found via AutoTrader. When I purchased the car, I drove the 4+ hours to get back to my hometown. Once I was home, I did a visual inspection on the Neon, and realized the motor had a bad rear main seal. So that following weekend, the motor was pulled out and replaced with a 2002 SOHC engine with 60k miles on it. Since then, I have been working on the project pretty much non-stop. The 2002 Motor I had originally swapped in threw a rod-bearing and destoryed the bottom-end. So in May, I swapped in a 01' Magnum R/T Motor complete.
