Hmmm - well i'm not looking to throw anything but stock aprts in there
now - this 95 isn't going to be anything special. I want to keep it
stock. Fuel economy out west is gonna suck enough without gearing the
thing low. I think I can handle doing the job. I just need to get the
right tools. After this neon head job... I'm starting to think there is
nothing I can't do. (its been a BITCH working on that car) The Neon is
almost back on the road.
