Yea I actually have family in Durham you guys get a couple inches and it can start causing some problems or so i hear lol.

[—tsingson—]

These people are weird. I am originally from Philadelphia and I can't wait to get back if I ever do.

[Kyle L]

Did a few things today bucket seat is out, harnesses are out and that hideous ebay shit wheel was replaced by oem.



Doing some more cleaning tomorrow, possibly removing the rollbar so I can put stock seat belts back in. Also waiting for every gasket that goes onto the head to come too.

[maharaj]

Glad to see that you got it back. Car looked great when you had it, now to restore it to it's former glory.

[Kyle L]

^thanks. I'm deff restoring it, might not be exactly like it was before but very similar

[Kyle L]

Rollbar out! I need some belts!

[Kyle L]

Small progress today my friend Tim (imperfekt) made a few donations

Stock tails so I can get rid of the ricy black ones


Installed much better


Also he donated a airbag, prolly get a wheel eventually but I just want it to look nice for now


Me and jimmy kane graffitied up the bay to get rid of the horrid pink


A nice touch of gunmetal (jimmy Kane)


And finally I traded a beat wrx trunk I paid $30 for to a guy for a brand new in box wideband kit




Also bought some oem seatbelts and shift knob waiting for them to arrive. Might start assembling the engine this week

Jesus!

First off, shame on you for ever going to a Neon. Shame shame! Second, glad you got your ride back... and by the looks of the picture with your GF hugging the car, that should tell you everything!!!

What the hell happened to your car when it was sold? Who did the pink?... and WHY? You are very lucky to have found the car with the wheels, and trunk too. Looks like you're back on the right track.

[Kyle L]

LOL yes she was very very happy, but shes just as happy for her first ride in the s2000 come spring!

And as for what happened to my car beats me lol. The kid I traded it to was an absolutely sketchy but hey he gave me a 14 year newer car with 120,000 less miles on it and a huge turbo lol. Couldn't complain. He had a buddy with a miata so I'm sure some off my parts ended up there. I know he got one of my bride seats. My fog lights, steering wheel, quick release, shift knob are not documented where they went lol. The second to last owner apparently has the sideskirts somewhere. And finally the guy I got it from told me he painted the engine bay pink because "it was going to be his drift car". His exact words. He tore the motor down because he didn't believe the people who told him the engine was rebuilt before but all the internals he pulled out were almost brand new lol.

As for now I just want to get it running, later maybe do an engine swap. I would love a rotary but they are too expensive to maintain/ fab work, an s2000 engine would be sweet but by the end of the fab work pricing I probably could have put a v8 in it. I could see a mazdaspeed swap in the future.

[Kyle L]

Roll bar is back in and the seat belts are semi installed I just need two bolts from the hardware store that I will get tomorrow.





Yea I know the pics suck

[Kyle L]

Better shot of the bay


Close up still have to touch up a few spots

[adamvanxxx]

[Kyle L]

I sold them before I got rid of it

[adamvanxxx]

[Kyle L]

Haven't updated this in a while but she lives. quick engine rebuild photo recap

Cut the valve cover


Added some flavor


Cleaning everything up




Block installed, prior to surface cleaning


Head on


Making progress


BOOM she works, a little ruff around the edges but I'm still working some kinks out
(click photo for video)


Went on a few cruises with the s2k






Deleted the s2k secondary air pump emissions crap with this

yay no more cel



she looks like a real car again lol
Hipstergram!


and I made a meme for shits and giggles


and that leads me to now where I am stuck deciding if I should keep the s2k or buy the FD that I have been dreaming about since I was 12 and do an lsx swap
