buying a 2000 neon

[shaunmagee89]

ok so heres the deal;

im buying a 2000 plymouth neon for $3800

i plan on taking out a 8 or 9 grand loan

with the left over money, i want to work on engine internals and definetly throw a turbo on it. it already comes with a turbo ready exhaust.

staying within my budget, what do you recommend on purchasing to make this car move?

or would it just be easy to buy an srt-4 motor and throw that in there?

any and all comments welcome

thanks for the help

I'm curious about your situation. Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a used SRT?

nahh see the thing is, buying this stuff for a plymouth i can still pay insurance under a plymouth.. in new jersey, srt-4's are the most expensive cars for insurance so its not worth it.

I see what you mean. My son sold me his 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T for that reason. The insurance was so high it just was not worth owning. Insurance companies are something else. Good luck with your project.
