Questions for Neon Racers

[Rabbit07]

Hawk Blues on the front and cheap pads on the rears, they seem to last forever on the rear.

exhaust would be good
CAI that didnt require a battery tray swap/mod.
how about a brake duct kit that uses the driving light openings and then mounts on the struts or inner fender somehow. I seem to be going through rotors lately as the speed increases

No Pressure at the Fog Light Holes for Brake cooling. The air is moving sideways there.

what if you moved the inlet more towards the middle of the lower grill in the center of the nose?

Bingo! That is extactly what I did. I can't reveal my sources, but I have actual wind tunnel data on the 95-99 Neon.

maybe i should have kept that to myself!

Scott, we may have to make some changes.

Just want to make sure that people know that I am not talking out of my butt as usual on this one.

As far as rotors go I used to go through the Mopar ones but I started using the premimum line from Pep Boys and they have out lasted everything else and work great and are cheaper.

Been using Hawk Blues front, cheapo pads on rear on the SSC car with no real issues...

I'd like to see a header tuned for our cars...

How about a rule change to allow us to replace/modify the trailing arm for better tire clearance.

Or a rule change allowing relocation of the battery...

The header being tuned would depend on a lot of variables, like what kind of computer are you running, what kind of cold air intake you are using and what modifications you have to your engine.

I am VERY happy with the TTI long tube header I am using, it bolts right up with no problem, very high quality and really brought the engine to life. I have a Mopar Performance Computer and a Iceman Cold Air Intake.

The Word on the street is that Hawk has "STOPPED" making the blues and the HT-10's for Neons. The good news as I found out today is that they are willing to produce the new compound DTC-60 for Neons if they will sell. Can I see a show of hands for those who would use them?

I am working on some of the other items that people have mentioned. I have made Spherical Bushings for the neon front control arms but I am currently out of stock. I also can get 4.12 final drives for the T-350 trans. It sounds to me like a cold air intake might need to be developed? Exhaust is tricky because it depends on the header that you are using. I am also looking into manufactuing a bolt on 1 1/4" rear sway bar.
