forget the neon I want to see the pics of the quad Solo18"X chevy. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
No more working on the Neon spend all your extra time for the 2nd annual Andre's soundoff. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
That way I can try and be competitve in USACi this year or you be sure and be Pro 0-600 and I'll go Pro 601+. [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]
And go to SBN. The first few Mountain Crests are on me if they have em in Florida. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

I had a 2002 Neon R/T as well. What's interesting about that is at one time there were 3 02 R/Ts on this board and it's a fairly rare car. Anyway, performance wise they are relatively decent. You can beat up on stock and lightly modded Civics all day long. The SiR's are quicker though. Number wise they are a 7.9 0-60 and 16.0 1/4 mile car. When we were shopping for one, we also looked at the Protege5. It handled a little better but you definitely felt the missing 20 HP advantage the R/T had over the P5. What annoyed me in my R/T was how poorly the knock sensor worked. On premium gas I would get clearly audible detonation at WOT in 2nd gear and could back off with my foot before the sensor caught it 
Other than that it performed decently. Running the a/c though caused a very noticeable decrease in power. But dropping the clutch at 3k rpm could leave 20 ft. dual strips of rubber

^ 18hp more than my standard motor. SUX2BU used to have an R/T and it didn't really 'feel' any faster than mine but I am sure it's rated a couple of 10ths faster [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] With the advent of the SRT4 the R/T disappeared from the lineup.
R/Ts had all the high level trim options where I picked and chose what I got for options.

lethal, you can compete in basic pro 0-600, i will be in advanced pro 601-1200.
pei, the cae vb 4 is what im using, the total deadening with be 2-3 mils of rhinolioner, 1 layer of hyperflex and at least 2 layers of vb4 on the floor, the firewall will have 2 layers of hyperflex and 1 layer vb4 and the trunk will have 2-3 mils of rhinoliner and a layer of hyperflex. the doors have 3-4 layers of accumat on the already. the ceiling has 2 layers of hyperflex and every nook and cranny was stuffed with foam.
the seats are being moved 1.5" closer to the center with the help of some cool cnc'ed aluminum brackets, anymore than that and the difference gets noticeable.
the tweeters will be in the a pillar just above the midrange. all the speakers will be on top of the dash with the exception of the 2 type x 12" subwoofer that will be ib in the trunk. 1 alpine f#1 amp will power the midrange and tweeters and 1 will power the 2 12" woofers in the back and the yet to be determined but it looks like a scanspeak 8" but that may still change, woofer in the dash, the dash woofer box will be built as big as possible and measured and then the woofer will be chosen
the whole job should be done in 3 weeks, there are 3 of us building it, me , james tully and ken tory. assistance from a host of others will no doubt be needed, will keep pics coming
