Walked out to the shop today, opened the door and was stunned for a second by a blue car up on stands. I'd gotten so used to seeing the Neon sitting there, it threw me for a second to see the Mitsu 3000 GT sitting there.

Over the weekend we finished up the rest of the work on the Neon. Amazing how long little stuff takes. There's still a few minor details left to do, but Steves going to take care of some of them while I get to work on the VR4. The wiring issues for the tach seem to have been cured by actually tightening all of the bolts on the ECU- go figure! Some wiring cleanup for the tach/shift light, brake light for the video recorder, charging the FireCharger system, painting the rest of the floorpan and some touchup on the cage, installing the brake ducts

Neon Brake Ducts and a few pieces of padding and she'll be ready to go.

The airdam we fabbed up was about an 1/8" to low for the trailer, so Steve's given it a shave and we're good to go.

The shop camera took a hit at some point in the project and is now making everything look like its from Willy Wonka's bubble gum factory, so unfortunately, all my pics look like they're from the 1930's. Time for a new camera I guess.



The Neon lost 50 lbs over the old setup with the original bolt in cage that had been added to over the years. We're still 150 lbs over teh minimum weight for an SOHC. I'm not sure which would be cheaper, 150 lbs of weight reduction (wheels, radiator, coilovers etc) or swap to a DOHC and call it a day Wink
