and still gets 35mpg 🤣
last time I filled up was 10/29/08 😃
Im very tempted to buy another for a DD, beercan this one, and keep it in the garage as a track / weekend toy…
I found an identical R/T with 120K, very clean, no problems, and I think I can get the seller to $1000cash

Keep it up. It takes some dedication to have that much into a non-SRT Neon. I can’t really talk due to the 25 year old BMW, but good job on keeping up on something that floats your boat.

Looks good. Those cars are surprisingly fun. I had one for about 4 months before spinning a bearing. Get a good oil pan with baffles if you don’t already have one.

AMM Manifold Installed
I just have to figure out where my small vac leak is coming from causing a rev hang and slightly high idle. plus get the other intake tube I have powdercoated.
Powdercoating done by AMF which I highly recommend
