the Neon in no way shape, form, manifestation, or otherwise any sense of the word otherwise implied in any other way my car....

but -
I have used it for work on snowy days !!

i don't what my next mod might be, thinking about a short throw or some 3.73s in the rear. even thought about a aluminum drive shaft, too many choices.

I'll tell you what ---

that aluminum drive shaft made a different of night and day in our '98 ......

well, besides the conversion to a KB suspension...

But the al. drive shaft really smoothed the transmission out. We had been thinking we needed a new clutch - everything just seemed off kilter...

Now - new clutch? Nope, we still have the original and she's smooth as can be....

great idea ... go with the alum. drive shaft before the gear change if you can.

just my .02 cents worth

I that was definately a learning expirence. It would be rather simple to do if I didn't have long tubes on there. I think i could have a bone stock cobra motor out of the car in a matter of a few hours. I'm not sure about putting it back in yet though. We'll have to cross that bridge when i come to it. Thanks for the compliments on my sexy body

Once again, I was just kiddin about the sexy body thing.

Also, I don't have girls standing in line for me believe me. Most of them are scared off by my "He loves his cars more than girls" attitude. And to top that off, just being in the marines is enough to wipe out any chances with a girl in a 50 mile radius of any military base (except air force bases

) . I, however, found THE girl I believe. So I take care of myself, and take my vitamins for her.

==================

good for you Josh --

whoever she is - she'd better take good care of you....

and, shhhhhhh
don't tell anyone, but most of the time I have to remind Tim that YES, I do love him more than my Cobra! Very much so.... !!

OK Josh -

Trigger and Flash said that as soon as you get your Cobra put together again, we all need to have a little talk about behavin' ourselves..

None of this downtime .... it ain't fun!
