ok i wont rice it but its gonna leave all these slow bumbum nissans and hondas that runaround my town.

Doubt it. Neons are some of the most underpowered cars in existance

In fact I can't think of many Nissans, besides the Note and Micra, which would be slower. Hondas, everyone seems to buy the Type R Civic so that goes out the window, the diesel is quicker than a Neon and the 1.4 is pretty close. Older civics, the 1.5VVTi will flatten it, as wil the CRX and Del Sol.

Unless its an SRT-4

The Neons actually make great SCCA cars, not much go in a straight line but the chassis is a great platform for handling mods.

SRT4
Because 14's = 12's on t'internet.

Hey, give me some credit, I never hype up a car unless its worth it. While theyre not mind-blowing in a straight line, again the chassis is a great platform. Although, pulling in a 0-60 time tested at 5.6/8 seconds, its no slouch. Dodge claim the SRT-4 puts out 215bhp, 245lb-ft. According to a Mopar website:

Brooke McClelland wrote: According to their chassis dyno, this Neon puts out 223 HP and 250 lb-ft of torque at the wheels! ... In comparison, their test of a 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R, which is rated at 175 HP, put out just 141 HP at the wheels.

Apex Technology has dynoed the SRT-4 and found 248 hp - at the wheels!

A little more flattering than Mazda with their RX8 exploits... :rolleyes:

Ahh. All well and good if you have that kind of money. For for half the cost I've just bought a car with very similar, if not slightly faster, track times

Don't bother. There are very few good looking kits for them

There are hundreds of great kits for the SX. What year is it?

Matter of personal oppinion. Then again, I prefer the sleeper look above all else

Im having thoughts about having a go with fiberglass and making a front lip for my car.

Ive done a little photochop on the sort of look I want with the car, just clean and simple, and I was wondering how hard it would be to build a little front lip like this or silimar:

There are a few manufactuers but the only one I know is this 'Boom' company which seems to make lips for the newer model of my car:

I would assume fiberglassing would be cheaper with a few square metres of mat and the resin and im learning something at the same time.

Here are looks others have achived:

I quite like this one, its not too overdone.

This one is quite nice too.

This one is nice and sleek.

Its nice but the front needs lowered and you wouldnt want to see the tails

This one looks kinda racey.

This guy cant possibly sleep at night

The main reason I like this car is becuase its different and you dont hear about it anywhere, yet it still has that nice jdm look.

So how hard would it be to make a little fiberglass lip? Will it be cheaper than buying one from say Boom? Is grinding a up a lip from another car a possiblility? And would I have to bolt it on the stock bumper so it dosnt crack?

Yeah, a Trial kit would be cool. Or C-West. Or, you can just make it a sleeper.

@ Tunerfreak: I've found this site which guides through on how to create custom fiberglass parts without a mould. It's generally about custom speakers, but it might also be useful for Bodykits.

im looking 4 an opinion should i get an 85 'RX-7 or a 91/92 a 180sx.
and why?

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 27 Nov 2006, 01:31

Depends what youre looking for in a car. Both have terrible economy, neither are particularly mind-blowing as standard, and one has the habit of blowing up, fairly regularly too.

The 91/92 180SX uses a T28-equipped SR20DET, although I must note at this point that so does the 93/94 180SX (RPS13). The SR20 has become the US fanboys engine of choice, and while over here and in Japan the engine has many advantages, in the US it doesnt. You guys got the 240SX with a 2.4L N/A. KA-T conversions have yielded some great results, and the cost of doing it far outweighs the cost of buying an SR20, or buying a 180SX in the first place.

As for the FCs, unless you know how to work on a rotary engine, Id stay away. The engine wasnt all that reliable when it was new, so throw in 20 years of dumba*s-induced abuse, and general wear/tear, and youre looking at a car that will most likely be off the road a lot more than its on.

Man, Im fallin in love with the 2003 Mitsu Lancer Evo. Its a car that I like, but I cant find one in my area, the closest and reasonable price is in Indiana for $22,000. I guess im saving for that instead of a Scion tC

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 07 Dec 2006, 11:49

They're quick and handle well, but you've gotta put up with the world's worst road noise, yoghurt pot construction and the fact there's no power below 3000rpm. Oh, and they've got bone-shatteringly hard suspention which makes them horrible to drive on anything other than a perfectly smooth road. The 360 and 400 models seem to have an appetite for turbo's too.

I found another 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS for $24,995... but I dont have the money... gah i need to win the lottery... hahaha
