01 neon R/T what ya suggest?

[sinINneon]

thanks, that helps a lot... anyone know of a good ammount of watts for a speaker? the output in other words i think hahah.

the front door speakers may "techically" be 6.5's, but i recently replaced mine (it's a 2000 lx), with 6.5 kenwoods, and they where a little too small (especially when holding the stock speakers next to them), they will work, just a few miner modiifications on the mounting holes

Another question!

I have ordered lowering springs and a cold air intake.

I would like to know when/if i order the huge 4 inch exausts (that are around 1 1/2 feet long) should i get two and have them come off where the two original exausts came off the muffler? please feel free to suggest any and all ideas pertaining to the exaust plans!

Thanks!

My suggestion is NOT to get a 4" exhaust. It will sound like crap!

Ya, i think your right, i just talked to a friend who owns a crx, and it sounds like a freakin weed wacker.... hahahah

heres an update of what i have done to my car since i last said:
1. installed a cold air intake (general... but works...)
2. got a lowering kit, just need to install
3. looking into buying the euro clear taillights and halo headlights.

Another quick (or not so quick...) question... is it possible to install a remote starter into a manual car? My ex's mother had one on her mustang, but it was an automatic now that I thought about it. Now the full head-scratcher is if its possible to put one in a manual... because as your know, you have to clutch in when you want to start the engine...

Thanks again guys!

Ys it's possible to install a remote start in a manual. Don't know exactly how it works, but it can be done.

IM BACK! ya, its been a while, worked a little on my car, looks different, drives a little faster, but now i have more questions:

1. I need a good header, ive heard a lot of different things from my R/T header being already good enough, to get a pacesetter, to dont get a pacesetter, to a lot of different other things... what is your suggestion?

2. what muffler is loud, powerful, yet has a deep tone that doesnt sound too... lets just say i dont want a ricer. :]

anyone have any direct instructional guides for installing a underdrive pulley? (also, if installing an underdrive pulley, would it be practical to also do a new/larger cam shaft?)

Thanks again guys.

[das2123]

Pull the old one off and install the new one. Just get the correct pulley puller and it will be easy.

The cam isn't necessary, but wouldn't hurt....but keep in mind if you upgrade the cam you will need to upgrade the springs as well.

[sinINneon]

another thing: i just got a new clutch and brakes done. after about 20 minutes of driving, it became HELL to shift. the worst was trying to shift into first from a dead stop. is this because someone f**ked up when installing it (it was done at Big O tires...) or is it just that the transmission is dead...?

[das2123]

Could be a loose cable. Take it back and let them look at it.

[sinINneon]

ya, it was just some air in the cables, nothing too crazy. but right, back to my neon and how to make it a tad faster. any of you know a good muffer that is smog legal, sounds great (deep growling sounds that is pretty loud.. heh), and doesnt cost an arm and a leg. any ideas?

[das2123]

Have a look....

thanks! i actually ended up going to an exhaust shop that normally does my exhausts (i have 3 cars), and they did a freakin amazing job putting on a flowmaster with a stock look thing going, sounds wonderful too, if anyone wants, ill post a sounds clip.

What does it take to get to the pulley to take it off? do i just take off the wheel well cover on the passanger side? i get how to get the pulley off, but how do i actually get to the pulley? thanks Das2123, your a huge help!
