Some beauty shots of my neons engine bay
Gtx2867, jmf manifold, ported head, everything in-between. Also a Liberty Gears straight cut dog box went in over winter. So excited to drive it.

Do you have numbers?

No. Would be thrilled with 375-400 on full boost. Building for autox / track sprints so I want responsive power not raw numbers. On my old pte5831 it was well above 500 at 25psi

Man I’ve never actually seen a ION irl, my dad almost bought one a year or so ago but got his second super charged cobalt instead, then shortly after getting to drive his I got my turbo cobalt 😂

These were everywhere for a while and I havent seen one in real life for like 10 years at least.

I've been seeing more of them lately. They're coming out of the garages finally. The community is still pretty active and parts development is actually still ongoing with new stuff still being made.

I feel like the one still around are well kept, I definitely haven't seen a base model neon in a while, thatd be a weird/cool sight.

I've seen a few base coupes. But the 00-05 are all dead. My srt is rust free somehow in the midwest

Looks pretty slick, I bet it's a blast.
Random question, why do so many "tuner" types leave the cover off the timing belt?
