Well with the teg, you have more options, the neon..its just different. if you decide on the neon..keep it clean!!! please!!! ( and buy my shit)

2.4l FTW!

it is clean and still runs with 141,000 miles burns a lot of oil but thats another story...... oh did i mention the head gasket?

probably the best and cheapest mod for a sohc, Even the magnum cam makes a world of difference...but your automatic, they suck..period. MTX swap before you do anything

what I've learned from neon tuning is Neon parts are hella cheap compared to Teg parts, but the selection for teg parts is HUGE compared to Neon parts..

it all depends on how innovative you can get... Performance companies saw the teg as a street car, where as the neon was mom's grocery getter... that's about just as fast as a DA. lol

all the time or after it sits for a min? Sounds like valve seals. headaskets are common, I have spare valve seals and a sohc head too..

well this summer i am rebuilding it so i cam interested in some parts but it doesn't hold any oil i have to add oil i changed the head gasket on it with the MLS one

did you have the head shaved? IF you did, sounds like you have bad valve seals. the 96 i mentioned in the 1st post did that. Its probably about the side of a computer now. Car crusher FTW

 

[mattDA9]

yep had the head machined, and no car crusher put to much fucking money into this car. how hard it to change the valve seals

 

[Cheesenip]

You have to tear the head down. Pay me some in advance Ill do this one in my garage.

 

[mattDA9]

lol how much we talking man

 

[Cheesenip]

lol how much we talking man

make me a good offer. Ill have it shaved, new seals added, and shipped, its complete

 

[mattDA9]

can you hold on to that for me or you looking to get rid of it rite away cause as soon as summer hits i am going to work on it.
