I can honestly say it looks good, especially without a wing.

Wheels are Giovanna Naganos and are 17x7.5 and I thin they are a 35mm offset.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Always nice to hear positive feedback from people that don't know the car.

Niiiice. I gotta ask. Whats it run?:eyebrows:
Honestly, I have never run it at the track. The same set-up on another stock DOHC 2.0L did a real low 13 second quarter with less work then I have, street tires and a slipping clutch on 7psi. The reason I have not taken it to the track is I do not want to get embarrassed. Its got a leaking headgasket right now that causes some serious issues on long pulls. I don't want to be responsible for droppng little drips down the track. I have gone door-to-door with a Porsche Carerra. Not sure if it was an S or not. The passenger in the car kept looking over and staring at me like it was hard to believe a Neon was keeping up with them. LOL

Anyhow, the plans are to pull this engine out, swap to a 2.4L and put in some SRT internals, a new HG, I have a brand new cylinder head with Crane parts and I might try to find a deal on a set of nice turbo grind cams, and I have a newer better design turbo manifold that will definitly get put to good use with the added displacement. Its got a ways to go and I have some personal issues that are tieing up alot of money right now so it keeps getting pushed back but I've already come so far. It wouldn't be hard to get this build done in a weekend with the help of a riend of mine here when the cash and parts are available.

LOL, I don't know if you could call it a sleeper with the massive intercooler in the front bumper but I appreciate the comment, thank you.

What kind of boost do you plan on running? Also, what fuel modifications do you have, aside form the return-style fuel system. Computer controls? Either way, I'm not big on the look, but hell, fast is fast any way you wrap it.

Fuel is a Walboro 255 on Cobra 24# injectors for now with a large fuel rail and soon to be an Aeromotive FPR and a Vortech FMU. The tune can be set with the AFCII.

I'd like to run about 14psi but I will be looking for 300+whp after the new build cause the engine will take it o if I need a larger turbo to do it then I'll get a bigger one.

the turbo should be Ok but you will need larger injectors or methanol injection for extra fuel

you will need larger injectorsl

Yeah, I pretty much expected that.

Show and go, Thanks for the kind words.

On a different note, how'd I get the "Mitsu Booster" label. My engine was made by Dodge. LOL

Regular members get a title based on the number of post's they've made. Mitsu to start, then probably Garrett, then hybrid, and then who the ---- knows.

Why is that whole "folding into itself" sideskirt thing so popular anyhow? It looks like cr@p. Its near impossible to find a body kit for most cars with nice straight sideskirts. (like a glhs - either of them - or an SL)

When you turbo'd your neon, did you have to trick the map sensor in any way to keep it from seeing boost?
