my Neon is an ACR model. Competition version. I also have a daily driver one too. Your friend, did he have an atx or mtx? Atx's are quite slow, as my daily driver is one... The ACR already had decent mods done to it when I got it. I just added more to it. If only I had slicks now...however, the Neons weakest link is the drivetrain when you start adding slicks on, WHAMMO! If anyone is actually interested in pictures, I have tons of it, including the cage install.It was also in Mopar Now magazine if anyone gets that... I live in Minnesota with four-thirteen. We have class together. Today is the big day of our robot show. I will take pictures of Mopar Dave's creation...hehehe Thanks again for all the props guys...its nice to finally get some love in this joint! lol but seriously, the automotive industry and the cult followings are usually not too receptive to women. I am still just like one of the guys so please dont hold back if ya think you have to!
I have a friend "Big Ed" that used to race a neon. Funniest thing ever was seeing this 6'5" 270 pound cat getting in and out of that thing. oh yeah, welcome to the HAMB. I'm new myself, but it's a good knowledgeable group here.
MOPARchick, Welcome to the HAMB. Racing on the cheap, nuthin' wrong with that. I'd like to see the truck commin' together, of course I'm project oriented. At least someone said that once. to answer your question on the chassis paint, I like to use a good epoxy (too part). Its durable as the devil, and if you go gloss easy to keep clean. Someone will say DP90 for sure (also a good choice), but I still prefer a gloss for the chassis. just a personal thing I guess. welcome again, the PnBner
Gams are legs!!!! And Tiny E is right. Welcome to the HAMB. When I saw your post I wasn't sure what to expect, what a great surprise! Scoots, drag racing, and a project. Looks like grampa's truck is in good hands.
aaah! well thanks thats nice of ya guys... im shoe horned in this damn dress right now and im afraid im gonna blow a button... its cute as all get up but my ribs are too big...holding my breath so i dont pop... one time in my life i want a damn corset!! lol cinch er up guys!!!!!!!!! thank dad for the legs...im 5-6 with a 35 inch inseam! lol in real life im actually a 500 lb female version of a 56 caddy! lol jk
Welcome to the board MOPARchick. neons aren't mitsubishis, and not all of them are lame grocery getters. Take a look at the SRT-4. I Slalomed my old '71 camaro a couple of times and got beat by alot of neons. Truck is looking good. we built one with almost identical parts in the shop I worked at last summer. Came out real nice, with a great stance. went back yesterday to say hi and found out the kid wrecked it.
Welcome to the HAMB Nice to see another gal who shares the passion on here. You gonna make it over here for the Christmas party on the 29th? It's looking to be a great time. Any just for the record, mopars rule! ~Melissa
Mopars are for Jerks, thats why I've got an '85 glh omni, a '65 dodge van and a '58 chrysler hemi. Welcome to the HAMB!!!

Hey Gracie, Don't you have to be hanging out of a ranchero if your gunna puke? We could have a repeat of the "sickest" car in Vegas!
Hey all... the 49 is still in Alabamy... I'm heading back there on the 18th, just in time to put the ol wreath (or is it "reef?) around the bullet and have a nice drive up to Volunteer country to hang out with my buds at the Jack Daniels distillery. I WILL NOT puke out of my window, that is not ladylike (and will f.u. the paint!)... but if I do get schnockered enough to spew, alls I have to do is turn left at a speed of at least 25 and my passenger door flies open automatically, giving me ample time to TCB before straightening back out, and having the door swing back into the closed position!
Pretty hot, digs cars, and not fat, kinda unusual for girl who likes cars. big HAMB welcome. FED p.s. update us on how the dress looks.
at least you don't have cherry tattooes on your calves and giving us the finger in the mirror. tuck on here had a 4 door neon that we spent a weekend customizing...then he sold it...pretty fun to run around with...and you can't complain about the cost.
just one more reason to go back to minnesota, i forgot all about the girls that dont mind greese under their nails, ... , from what ive seen most hamb people who know whats up , don't really care what your wrenchin on as long as your wrenchin...... nice to see a girl with a bunch of irons in the fire ,even if a couple are late model,...welcome aboard!
So is your name Moparchick or NeonGirl??? Either way, I dig your Chevy cabover... just ditch the visor... visors are lame. And as far as running 13's... in a Neon... that's faster than 95% of the cars that ran at the HAMB Drags... so I guess that makes it cool. Sam

[/ QUOTE ] did you miss the 47-55 chev truck? i think its pretty damn cool a chick is into it that much(besides "oh,thats a pretty car"), this will be a great place for her to learn more,maybe get more into trad. stuff for the record i never had a rice auto but i did have a gsxr, a zx7 ,and a cbr, the only time i ever saw a buell was in my rearview mirror, but they always looked like a tiny little dot when i think american bikes i think harley and indian,cal bobber style, a buell impresses me as a sad attempt to try and keep up whith the jap bikes, hell her neon will probely kick most buells asses correct me if im wrong but isnt a buell a european chassis with a harley motor , not very trad.
No a buell is all American and what a great bike too,the thing is a wheelie monster.Ok so i have a Gsxr 750 srad it's a factory blue print and the fastest one they ever made 178 mph out of a 750.But i also like to take it easy once in a while and the buell out monsters the Ducati monster it's a wonderful sweet handling bike that lifts the front wheel with a twist of pure torque.I hate harleys and indians generally i just dont like the chopper type style but buells well Harley got that one right by letting the blokes get on and make it,bloody fantasic.............Mad Marq
gawd I love being called a "ricer" (rolling my eyes) what else can you buy for $2000 that runs 13's NA, and gets 30 mpg? anyhow...I figured I would get picked on cuz of it, but hey thats cool. Car looks bone stock from the outside, but it idles like a v8, headlights even flicker cuz of the cams. No loud exhaust, it even looks stock...taken a few mustangs by surprise... $2000 Import runes 13s!! really would like to see that.. Idles like a V8? Lmao , really would like to hear that... Beatn Mustangs... come on.... But welcome to hamb...
I don't know squat about Neons or Buells, but I'm guessin' here that the Neon doesn't go 178. I also don't know what "gsxr, a zx7 ,and a cbr" are. Do they go 178?
