well its nice to see the amazin craftsmanship of the type R neon... i once backed up my grandpas accord into a tree...dont ask questions.... well the tree which was skinny and on an angle got the better of the accord... dented the trunk in :mad:

You're Grandpa's Accord? That suddenly made feel not so cool about having an Accord anymore. Just kidding. Accord's are so weird when it comes to denting. I rear-ended someone. Barely nothing hapenned to my bumper but my hood buckled like it was going out of style and I ended up having to buy a new hood.

My cousin bought a 94, or 95 neon recently He hasnt done anything except soundsystem but he has plans LOL sorry im not big on neons I like to call them peeons and im not quite sure why they just bug me, I wouldnt diss on people who owned them though.My neighbors have the sweetest neon I have ever seen yes it is a little ricey but its nice;)

:D

Re: Dodge Neon???
 

Dont you think these are questions you should have asked BEFORE you bought one??

Re: Re: Dodge Neon???
 

Sorry to offend you with my hasty decision but to be perfectly honest with you, I did not even pick the car out. My father did. He has a dealers license and he got it at an auction for little to nothing and I'm giving him money for it. Because the engine in my truck blew. Obviously, I crack on the Neon because I'd prefer to drive my Honda over it but I still do appreciate it because it is a car and it gets from point A to B. And this whole thing is not about dissing Neons. People prefer different things as everyone is different. It is however about dissing the people that do dumb things to Neons and think they're badass.

good point there missy :yes:

Thank you ;)

one problem that all chryslers have is transmission issues.... your neon is probably on its second tranny... watch out for signs of transmission slip

Back to the original question...

I drove a neon in an MTV special "Fast Enough", i blew the engine in the second lap. According to dodge this was their GT model, or something like that. The instructor told me to push it in second, and i did. guess the valve springs over heated and that just f**ked something up good.

Ok, I'm not going to lie but I reallly don't know much about Neons at all. What exactly does the GT model entail?

I think he means SVT. I dont think there is a Neon GT. Its probably just a slightly bigger motor and more frills.

Anyone seen the new Neon sport model? It comes off the line turbocharged, with 17" rims and look real nice, actually. Not joking.


I thought of some more things you could do to the PROJECT CRAP NEON:

- Go to decaldriveway and get some stickers made:
NEONS SUCK
I'd rather be driving my honda...


label all your "aftermarket" parts:
stylish rims! (and an arrow pointing at it), you get the idea.

Find yourseld a coffee can and make a fart exhuast.

Get a folding chair and have someone weld it on the trunk. adds 20hp at the wheels!

LMAO. FART EXHAUST. My bro is anti-import so he just has to call everyone's exhaust "fart pipes". It all started when a Civic pulled up at an intersection and started to rev and my brother got all pissed because the kid was being really gay about it and he just yelled "Shut the f*ck up with your little fart pipes over there!". Then the kid wouldn't even race. Anywho, back to Neons. Yesterday, one of my stupid Yokohamas went flat on my Accord and there were all these kids at the gas station I was at and one had this sport Neon that you speak of. At least I think it was. He was saying stuff about more horsepower and all this stuff. I told him that we should roll out in our Neons. Wait, just have someone just weld the whole chair? In the posistion that someone could sit in?

Dodge SVT?!

Riiiiight

I don't even know what SVT means. Isn't it used for Mustangs? I swear that's where I've heard it before. I think. I don't even care because I have a Type R Neon and Hot Pockets is about to sponsor me. ;)

SVT is for FORD like mugen and spoon for honda: a performance company.

ohhhhHHHhhh, :yes: I get it now. LOL that you gave me an analogy. Thanks ! ! ! I found it weird one time on EBay that I saw a FlowMaster exhaust for a Honda. I've seen FlowMaster on all domestics. Never a Honda. It was strange.

yeah I meant weld the whole chair on there like someone could sit there. You wouldn't even have to weld it, just drill some screws and attach it like a spoiler. Cut the back of the chair off so its just the seat. Then it'll be a hardcore 1337 spoiler!

Actualyl SVT is not quite like that..

SVT stands for Special Vehicle Team, its a company that helps design vehicles for performance reasons... not quite like Saleen, and Not Quite like Spoon, more in the middle :)

svt is a division of ford motor company.

it's their Special Vehicle Team..

It's part of ford.

It's like TRD for toyota. Toyota Research and Design... it's a designation givin to cars that have gotten revamped by a special team at the factory.

Do you think that I'd get in trouble for driving around with a chair attached to my hood though? Once it gets warmer/and I get more done to it, I'll start showing my car. But it's not what you call an "everyday" driver. If I ever tried taking it to Old Englishtown NJ, I know for a fact that I'd take my bumper off while driving through NY on those shitty roads. Ok, please no one laugh at this question...You guys know those trailer things that you can tow cars around in? Do you think the Neon would be able to tow my Accord on a trailer?

yes it could probably, you would need to find a proper hitch though

heres 1min worth of searching on google
http://www.hitch-web.com/vhitch.asp?...1353#DRAW-TITE

Hey, thanks for that. Ha ha. It says BALLMOUNT on that website. I think that would look funny. A riced out Neon towing an Accord.

no prob..... ya it would look kinda funny... neons arent the ideal towing machines... especially the type-R edition

You said what i lacked the words to say, thank you :) hehe

Oh my god. I went out to the Neon earlier and I saw that there is a crack in the front bumper. And I know damn well that I didn't do it. BONDO. On plastic.

First off, what kind of engine is in there? Lift hood and check the tag on frame. Do you have engine code: 420a? If so, YOU GOT A DAMN FINE ENGINE that I know TONS about.

Ok, I'm going to look at that tag once I get out of work at 12. I hope it's the damn fine one. Heh, yesterday I was blasting through puddles in it and the car made this loud squealing noise for a minute. Timing belt? I'm assuming that's what it was because that hapenned to one of my other cars.

You gotta let me steal a park bench and get a picture of your car with it on the trunk (ala bigass wing).

blasting through puddles :no: poor neon

perhaps you should thoroughly check all the belts... they might be in real rough shape

Ok, so I invented a new sport with the Neon this past Saturday night. It is called garbage can bowling. This is something that happens in the early morning hours. It involves making my friend get out of the car to line up garbage cans in the middle of the road while I'm sitting there with my headlights off. And then I throw it in reverse and back away. And then I floor it and blast through the garbage cans. Not metal ones thought. The big Rubbermaid ones.

nonovurbizniz, you've got to get a pic of me doing that with a stolen park bench on the trunk.

hows the cracked bumper holding up/doing?

It's fine. The crack is only about 2in. And it didn't get any bigger after bowling on Sat.

so how fast did you blast through those cans?

Only at about 40mph.

I used to do that to cardboard movie stand-ups! We used to record our antics also, and the video is famous around here.

Anyway msvtec, I've got one of those stupid type R emblems. It came off of this old crappy prelude at the junkyard. I've also got one of those superstreet radioactive emblems. I have no use for rice badges, but they'd clash nicely with a neon...

Aaaaa Haaaaa. Cardboard movie stand-ups? That's funny. It must be even funnier to be in car heading towards one of those. The best part about garbage can bowling is the noise. I'll send you some of those fed-ex envelopes if you want to send me those emblems. You want some $$$? I can send you a check or something. I've got my Accord emblems that I'm putting on there too but I can't figure out how to get them on.

it was funny to be heading towards a big thing going 45 at 2 am in the theater parking lot. every instinct tells you to stop! ah those were the days...

these emblems just use glue, or some kind of adhesive. just email me, blind34_1@lycos.com, and I'll tell ya where to send an envelope.

this will look great! A Type R Neon that is radioactive!

K, I'm going to drop you a line today. All I have to say is...for a car that we've been dissing on, the Type R radioactive Neon handles pretty well in the snow. I was pretty surprised. OMG, you used to do that in the parking lot of the movies?! Did anyone else see this other you and your friends? That's great :D I'm going to start doing some stunts in the snow.

Stupid question...when I e-mail you, I have to put that space between blind34 and 1?? Or is there an underscore?

sorry, there is an underscore between the 4 and the 1. I should really get another address.

Yeah, once we had an audience. This is at like 2 in the morning, though. We convinced our cool manager to let us "dispose" of the old movie standups. I think the first one was "Black Knight". We got a whole bunch of extension cords and ran them from booth (where the projectors are) out the door and way far out into the parking lot. My friend was recording. I say a few words to mark the occasion, and speed off way far down to the other end of the lot, playing "Break Stuff". I flash my brights, rev a few times, and punch it. After a perfect shift into second, all you see is my car smashing through this mass of cardboard. All I see is this black dude in a chain mail hurling toward me. I backed up and ran him over a few times more. It was great! We did this I think four more times, until the district manager heard what we were doing with them.

a little while back i wanted to take one of the Monsters Inc. stand up things and put it in my room. LOL

OMG. LMAO. Mental images. I want to get some mannequins and do that. They used to scare me when I was little so I need to get my revenge. Blind34_1, you REALLY need to get those vidoes on HS!!!

We had only one VHS tape and we let my friends brother borrow it, to show to his friends. They all thought it was hilarious, and it is legend around here. Unfortunatly, the video was lost forever. nobody knows where it is! That had all sorts of good stuff on it, back from when we would break stuff in gym class. we seriously brought a full size video camera into our gym class and nobody saw! We did all our work on the old Jesus video that was littered on everyones doorstep around here...anyway.

This is getting way OT, but oh well its still funny.


I thought of something else for the neon, get a whole bunch of fog lights! dont pay anything for them, see if you can ghettofy something.

omg, I saw a nasty civic with a bench, fart exhuats, and huge comic font lettering on the side that said VTEC. I thought of the TypeR neon!

Ok, I know that I'm doing it to the Neon...but why do people put Type R or V-Tec stickers on cars that really aren't?? I'm sure that some of those cars are actually what the stickers say but there's a whole lot that aren't. I'm doing it to the Neon to make fun of those people. But I just can't figure out why anyone would do that with seriousness. Posers. I'd be so embarassed if I tried to pull that off seriously and then I got caught out. We were driving on Christmas Eve and there was some Civic similar to the one that you're talking about that cut my bro off and was reving the fart pipes and then my bro pulled up to him in the next lane to race and embarassed this kid.

you should raise it up like those big redneck trucks, that would be funny to see

That would look obnoxious. :D I think this car is about to die. The check engine light came on and then I started to feel the transmission slip. Turns out there was no transmission fluid. And then my dad used one of those diagnostic computers and the check engine light was coming on due to the oxygen sensor being totally shot in it. The car is doing WEIRD things.

transmission slip.... thats chrysler for ya

LOL ummm yeah. I can back you up on that one! Twice! :pukey :o

Yeah. Because of the stupid transmission, I went into a hill the other night. It was snowing and I had to floor it just to get it to shift gears. So I did this in the snow around a little bend and ended up doing a 180 and going into this little hill/ravine like thing. We did not get hurt at all. Neither did the car. I seriously laughed for about 20 minutes about it though. It was weird because I was so calm when all of it was going down.
