If you are looking for bang for your buck this is your car. It is a highly modified 1998 Dodge Neon R/T that is the ultimate sleeper. Set up to be a drag car, this car can be very fast in a straight line. The best time-slip I have for this car is from Bandimere Speedway in Denver (5,800 ft elevation), where it ran a 12.479 sec quarter mile at 114 mph. This car has over $20k invested in it, but due to moving and a lack of time I need to part with it. My loss is your gain!

- Wideband 02 installed
- MSII Boost Control (currently not tuned)
- Includes MSI Wind Netbook computer and current engine maps. There is a mounting in the car for the laptop, which can function as a digital dashboard as well as performing data-logging and auto-tune functions.
- The car has been completely re-wired and the stock computer has been removed. The headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals are all functional. The cooling fan is on a manual switch for track purposes. Wiring diagrams will be included.
- Battery is re-located to under the passenger side front fender with a disconnect switch in the cabin.

- Stock gauges DO NOT WORK. With the exception of the speedometer all gauges can be replicated on the laptop digital dashboard. With the proper sender the digital dash can also display the speedometer. This sender is not installed or included.
- The interior is completely stripped for drag use. Both front seats are included, but the passenger side seat belt is not.
- The dash is a shell, and conceals the ECU mount and wiring.
Exterior:
- Stock black paint with R/T silver racing stripes
- "Speed Holes" in rear bumper (intended to vent air from rear bumper at high speed on the drag strip, eliminating the "parachute effect" over 100mph)
- Paint is okay for a 1998 car. It has been treated as a race car, not a show car, so it is far from perfect.
Problems:
- The car CANNOT be registered in any counties that require emissions testing. It has no emissions equipment, and no longer has the OBDII computer that is required for an emissions test. It is being sold as an off-road vehicle only. It was registered in Montana where there is no emissions testing.
- The aluminum oil pan has a small leak.
- There is no A/C, heat, or power-steering. This has been used as a drag car, and all extraneous systems have been removed.
- The currently installed Innovate LC-1 wideband oxygen sensor and controller is finicky. I have intended to replace it with a PLX DM-6 SM-AFR kit. This is a more reliable set-up. I can purchase and install this at an additional cost if requested.
- The car is no longer OBDII compatible and does not have a catalytic converter. It is being sold as an off-road vehicle, and it WILL NOT pass an emissions test due the above.
- The car needs to be tuned. It currently idles,runs, drives, and the MSII has been tuned for up to 8 psi of boost. Due to time constraints and lack of track access I have not tuned it beyond this threshold. It will require some time and tuning by the new owner to reach it's full potential. Before the the MSII install the car has run up to 25psi of boost.
- THIS CAR IS SOLD AS IS, and no warranty is implied.
Overall this is a great starting point for someone who wants a fast project car for a very low cost. All of the mechanical parts are in great working order, and the wiring is all in place. All that you will need to do is spend some time with the car on the street/track and tune it to your liking. This car is the ultimate sleeper, and will be great fun for the next owner. It is also a steal, as over $20K has been put into the car!

Chrysler Recalling Nearly 907,000 Cars, SUVs
Fri, Oct 17 2014Nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars are being recalled for alternators that can fail and heated power mirror wiring that can short and cause minor fires. The recalls, posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators, push the total number of recalls so far this year 544, totaling a record of more than 52 million vehicles. The largest of Thursday's recalls covers nearly 470,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Chrysler 300s, and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Durangos from the 2011 through 2014 model years. The alternators can fail, causing the 3.6-liter V6 engines to stall unexpectedly. The problem also can cause the electrical system to fail, as well as knock out power-assisted steering, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. It can even cause fire or smoke, according to documents Chrysler filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA opened an investigation into the problem in July, and Chrysler began its own probe in August. The company analyzed warranty complaints and alternators that had failed. The alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. Chrysler investigators traced the problem to heat fatigue in an alternator diode. Chrysler said it received 322 complaints about the problem, while 55 people complained to NHTSA. The company said it knows of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries or fires. The company will replace the alternators with upgraded versions for free. Owners will be notified in November. The company says customers who see warning lights or suspect a problem should contact their dealers. The recall affects cars and SUVs sold mainly in the U.S. and Canada, but some were sold in Mexico and overseas markets. The second recall covers almost 437,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2011 through 2013. Water can find its way into the heated power mirror wiring harness and cause corrosion. That can cause a short and could cause a minor fire and smoke, as well as cause loss of function of the mirror. The problem was discovered in February after three Wranglers in Canada were damaged. Chrysler says it has 26 complaints about the problem, but it knows of no fires, crashes or injuries. Dealers will move the wiring and install a protective shield to keep water out at no cost to owners, starting in December. Most of the Wranglers are in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but more than 78,000 were sold overseas.
Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
