So I'm new to this forum, but not new to turbo Mopars. Here is the project my cousin and I built last year. Started building around January last year, started its first event July 9th, and finished its first event August 13th. Everything was fabricated in my garage...the only thing we didn't do was weld the cage (had a professional offer to do it very cheap, so it was hard to say no- we bent and notched everything, and brought it to him all tacked together). So here it is:
The car:
Complete custom tube frame built in front of the engine
The Drivetrain:
2.4 Stratus block
8.5:1 .020 over JE pistons
Eagle rods
150,000 mile DOHC Neon head (tuning issues at the first event destroyed the head, so I drove 4 hours home, pulled the head off my DD, and drove back to the race...I got back at 6 am and went to sleep while my cousin started putting the head back on...in a dirt parking lot no less...and we got it running again, but were scared to take another run that day without proper tuning...as full time college students with full time jobs on the side, we have yet to have time to put a better head on it)
SRT-4 oiling system
SRT-4 Turbofold modified for an external WGA
SRT-4 intercooler
Stock 1st gen Neon transmission and axles
Suspension:
Front
Neon k-frame
Neon knuckles
Neon LCA's
Custom adapters to bolt knuckle to stock car Upper A-arm
Late Model coilovers
Rear
Complete stock Neon front suspension
