      Thats wicked, loving the neon. I do have a 3 video playlist on it. I am still actively working on some more improvements with it.

    That neon is a time capsule, with the cassettes, PS1 demo discs and even the tail lights and spoiler.

    Man, I wish I could find that nice of a 1st gen around, they've practically evaporated off the face of this planet. And the real gold, by the way, is that Fu-Schnickens album (pronounced FOO-Schnickens)

      I know eh, cant remember last time I seen a 1st in the wild honestly. This is such a gem, plan to resume some more work on it soon. Want to drive it this summer. 😂 as for the fu-schickens album. Ill be pumping it in the car once she out for a cruise

    That 2L DOHC sounds exactly as it should! I've got a '98 with well over 400,000 kms on it. Throw some sway bars on the front and rear (if you haven't already), and take it down a twisty road! I think you'll enjoy this car!

    What a great project. Love the time capsule stuff.
    I’ll be coming back to watch this and the gc ra videos for sure!

      The skirts with a lip on stock bumper could actually work really good.

      This is the route I believe I will be going. I do at least want to get a front lip on the bumper. I think it would look great even in modern times.

    Srt4 fuel pump is a plug and play only issue is the sending unit reads backwards I did it on my neon since I had an abundance of srt parts also you can use a walbro 255 should be plenty for srt4 swap been waiting on this video! Thank you

    • @TheSubieSanctuary
      @TheSubieSanctuary  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is sweet and good to know. Figured with end goal being the srt swap. It could use a higher flowing pump 🤜

    The knock off Amazon fuel pump assembly must not have the locating tang the factory basket has. The tank is notched to ensure proper placement.

      Ya definitely sketchy, i dont plan on using the china unit overall. Plan on getting a pump for the original unit.
      If im going to srt4 swap eventually should i seek higher flow pump to put in the original sending unit?

    • @sleepy1gn
      @sleepy1gn ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheSubieSanctuary Yes, depending on your goals. If it's going to be a stock swap a drop in walbro 255 will work. That's what I am using on my srt on e85. There is a fuel pump rewire kit sold to keep voltage from dropping and keeps the pump happy.
      If you're going big turbo then either a walbro 450 or 525. They require modification to the housing and bypassing the stock regulator and different feed and adding a return line.
