This is a pic of the car when i put the buddy club body kit on. The car started out with a sohc engine and i blew it up. So instead of fixing it, I decided to install a dohc engine with many mods. The engine has a performace computer to help out with that end. Mopar crome exhaust header. The intake has been replaced with one that has been ported and polished for better air flow. Throttle body is 55mm with a iceman cold air intake.

This is a pic of the back of the car with my alteza tail lights and ractive exhaust. The other neon in the background is another neon i had that was in progress at the time but sold for a nice hunk of money.

Side pic of the whole car with the z3 fenders and 15inc rims I got from a 2003 Neon sxt and had them painted white sitting on pirelli tires.

This is the bad times my car had. It was only 6 days till my birthday when I rearended a big ass dodge ram. Like the saying goes. Cant dodge it ram it. I only had my body kit on for about 2months. It may not look like alot of damage, but there is. I had to fix the windshield, replace the radiator, new front bumper and bumper cover, weld a new radiator support in place of the old one. The hood is new along with the headlights. I was able to do all this work in just 3days. I had all the parts i needed sent ups next day air.

This is what the inside of the car looks like today. The tach is a sunpro dragon. Reverse glow gauges (Green or Blue). Faze gauges (air/fuel and boost). The cd player is a sony Exploid with a flip up face. It is all electronic. The shifter is a b&M short throw shifter with booger bushings on the shifting cables.

New sreet fighter body kit from CA. Took about 3 weeks to get here and did not fit right from the start. The front bumper had minor cracks. and the rear bumper was cracked in 2 places. Many modifications had to be made for it to fit. I decide to go with a diff look so instead of the stock looking turn signals i decided to go with pro burner light for the turn signals. Mounted on easy and give the car a nice look. The fog lights will be put in soon.

New bumper and JSP spoiler. I picked the spoiler up from a kid who was selling his whole car and he only wanted $20 for it so I could not pass it up. Between the kit and paint and the quarter panel being fixed im out about $1000. But its all worth it.

My whole turbo kit i had on the car. Contains log style manifold to a garret t3/t4 turbo. The intercooler is HUGE 30x9x3. Safc. Greddy turbo timer to prevent turbo burnout. Tuner toys oil lines and fittings.

neon_racing's 1998 Dodge Neon


The turbo on my car just after install. Had to move the shifting cables to get the air lines installed. Had a lot of room between the firewall and turbo. I sold this turbo kit because im looking to move on to a bigger and better turbo kit, after internals are done.

Huge intercooler 30x9x3 crazy size.

Nice story behind getting the rims. Seen them in an add and the guy was military. He was looking for $800 obo and i offerd him $500 and walked away with them. It also came with locking lug nuts. The rims are 17" icon Rims with fuzion Z rated tires.

Fuel rail came from lfsracing.com It is a billet fuel rail with accel 36pnd fuel injectors from modernperformance.com The fuel pressure gauge is liquid filled bought on ebay for a nice price..

Here is a pic of only one of my pistons i was in a rush to get going. The pistons are J.E Pistons with a compressin rate of 8:8:1 they are standerd bore and took a hella long time to get them made. Standard bore pistons are not something u can just order and have in a few days like i learned.....

neon_racing's 1998 Dodge Neon


I was in a rush to get the engine all back together so i forgot to take a pick of my rods. Nice eagle rods.
This replaces the old Eagle Rod with 5/16 bolts which was capablile of 500 hp and the extreme rod was capable of 800hp with 5/16 bolts. Now the New 3/8 bolt Rod is capable of 1000 hp with proper tuning due to the redesign accorrding Allen at Eagle Specialty Products. The old 5/16 Rods will not longer be preduced for the Neon, only the new stronger 3/8 bolt rod. And the best part, the price remains the same as the old rods.

This is the pic of the Crane cams i orderd on 2-2-06 and still have not recived yet. I orderd through howellautomotive.com what a big mistake i dont suggest anyone going through them. They have real poor customer service and dont give a shit about anyone. Owner of the place is a real ass. My friend also orderd hardpipes for his srt4 and just canceld becasue they keep saying there on the way and never shipped. he waited over 2 months..
Also not pictured is my Crane valve springs and titanium retainers. The cylinder head has had a full valve job and my new springs and retainers installed....

wow you really have built your motor huh! well im sure my motor wont have enough power to beat you but i would love to try anyway. it would be a good test for me. i use to have a civic and i had installed a zex nitrous system in that even though it was a sohc motor. but it was fun. i know i wont have the quickest quarter time in the world but i am more into suspension any way. im going to watkins glen for a nasa road racing event if you are interested its in march. it cost $150 but you get a in car instructor for a couple laps then you get to race. we should def go cruise sometime. i know someone with a 400hp jetta if you are looking for a competitve race! i have never been to the cicero track but i would def be down to go!
