Rare bugeye coupe 😂

This is very similar to my first new car, a '98 highline. Same color, 2 door, 5-speed, but a SOHC engine. I'm looking for a first gen now.

Damn!!! Miss my old 5spd Neon Sport

Im now realizing how fortunate I am to have one in this condition around here. Went and looked at another last week as a parts car for this one (mainly need interior) and man it was soo bad. Excited to get this little weapon out this spring

@@heavyearly2232 honestly I recently went to check out a dohc manual coupe, however it was a base model with roll up windows, no sunroof rear drums. It ended up being absolutely junk, it was soooo bad.

The guage cluster has loose pins where it connects into the harness. They all ended up doing that. I couldn't quite hear the funny sounds you were mentioning but any of those old engines that are up over 100k could probably use some lifters.

Yes, I believe its the lifters as well. There are new in box lifters in the car. It will probably become part of my work over the winter on it

Yes 🙌 a Neon appreciator Falling so in love with the neon, cant wait really to tie up some loose ends and take it to the track for a base lap time before really getting into modding it

Dudes Those colors looks so minty fresh (cowabunga) The memories are flying lol. My sohc got a Pacesetter header (I actually paid $90 to have it installed before I became a tech back in 01 😅.) The shop even said they had to "melt it out". Which I found out later meant they destroyed my alt bracket. The dohc is gonna sound fantastic before I even get to that part. I had a double overhead canister as we called it lol and man with just my dual Ractive exhaust it sounded so good (as compared to when I had the same exhaust on my sohc) it popped and almost banged with just an intake She'll get crackly up top with the full exhaust too. So pumped to hear it I tried painting my dash too. Idk why that era of Neons loved paint matched bits but I sucked at prep back then lol. The green on yours looks really decent already Good old hot air intake haa. Literally said that years ago.. So cringe from an engineering standpoint. No wonder why they loved cold air intakes Oh and I and speaking of engineers, I believe the Dohc 420a had some Maclaren help with the cyl head design if I'm not mistaken. Maybe your alternator is shot with the battery light btw

They were/are such rad cars. They really did rip too. I bet if i dropped the clutch id have at least stayed side by side with the civic 😂

A lot of these parts were inside the car from 2007. But the stuff I needed to get it running again like fuel pump, spark plugs I got from rock auto. For performance parts you can check out www.modernperformance.com/shop

Put some Uel headers to confuse people
