that car is going to fold in half, the roof is the main structure, without welding reinforcement in the floor, its going to be a death trap after 10 mph
lol diddn't expect to hear slipknot, great band, anyways, you cant drive a uni body without a roof, it WILL split in half and you WILL die when it happens + u shoulda made the "Ram air" scoop actually funnel into the throttle body, could have taken a performance filter, put it strait to the TB and had the ram air go strait in... Oh well
Just so you know, neons are unibody cars, meaning they have a unitized frame, unlike trucks that have bodies that sit on a frame,the car (like all cars), gets its structural support from the design of the body. The roof is an integral part in the deign of the unibody and helps in crash enrgy distribution. Basically, cutting the roof like you did... that things gonna fold like paper if its ever in an accident. Theres no more support in the roof.
Instead of a removable hard top, might as well just add a sun roof... Cars that have removable hard tops from factory have way stronger areas in the body to compensate for the lack of roof support. Neons were not designed for removable a removable roof. as mentioned the roof is part of the support. You basically just weakend your cars frame....
well if hes smart he would get rid of that spoiler n then weld where he cut n primer n paint n all that but weld some good solid beams, prolly bout 4, right below where the roof would go back on to give it some strength back, its a fun idea but just not too stylish on a neon, i just give an A for the effort n doin somethin unique
hes gotta CAI, but its prolly just a RAI so the intake is sittin behind the motor so the hood scoop is aimed directly where the filter is, the neons arent a POS, i got 1 n had a SOHC n beat a V6 2006 taurus, V6 Sebring, wat makes a neon a POS? cuz my old SOHC neon went 191,000 original miles on the engine n tranny, i gave it to charity b4 anythin went out on me, now i gotta DOHC wit RAI n gonna make my own scoop, mustangs r POS, electrical problems, SRT-4 motor n 1st gen neon will beat it
hey i just got a 1998 neon for my b day piece of crap but yea awsome car to start with im really likeing the hod removal was it hard to do that ill talk to my team about it and see what they think whats up about the shaveing the key hole and anntanna i dont get that part
SHAVED KEY HOLE!!! That is a god awful car, and you suck at spelling, Josh. The money would be better spent on something that is NOT a pile of fecal matter carefully arranged to look like a car
sweet targa top dude i have a 2dr 96 dodge neon and i wanted to do the same thing when i first got it but then i thought it wasnt practical but u did a great job and it came out better looking then i thought
Well i got this car givin to me for free, and this project is all about very little money being spent. That is why i did not buy a srt-4, besides i like the style of my car better then the srt-4's
well i guess It's ok for not having any money put into it and doing all the custom work yourself. But in the end. It's still a neon. News flash. They dont kick ass.
No I didn't get board and look up neons someone actually posted a link to the video showing all the custom ricer neons. We found it quit amusing there was even a former srt 4 member on there and even he said that video made him want to puke.
people are fucking retarded god damn if he wants a hood scoop,big ass spoiler, and a cut of roof god damnit he can do no matter what fuckin car he has and just cause you hate neon cause you got beat by one doesn't mean you have to bitch... to him just click the next fuckin vid retard.... btw bad ass car man look wicked
haha beat by a neon? never heard of such a thing. and about the hood scoop you have got to be kidding me...ram air intake? Like thats REALLY going to make a difference. 5hp MAX on an engine rated @ 150... really dude stop wasting your money on dumb sh!t. neons should not be modded use them for what they were made for ECONO CARS!
perfect example.... maybe hes doing it for look more then performace.... maybe your just retarded and decided to search Neons when you got home cause of that one that spanked your ass on the way home from work...
If you read my other comments or even watched my vids. then you would no the motor in the car is blown and am puting a Srt-4 motor in it not the stock Dohc and your pretty stupid 5Hp Max lol do some reserch then talk to me and balowin said it, its not a race car its a show car lmao and i have very very little money into this car
No its not a supra its a neon ! and the hood scoop is set up for ram air intake and more air flow under the hood . LOL what the f@$K do you think a hood scoop is for ...
Thanks and yes i will be doing a roll cage once i get the roof finished. So many things so little time and the biggest thing is still yet to come (2.4L turbo SRT-4) Engine Swap
hell yes dude that is cool as fuck. love the choice of music. you can never go wrong with wait and bleed slipknot!. the whole roof thing is cool as shit dude. i have a neon too you should check out my vidz some time if you get a chance. btw good job keep up the good work. neons rule!
