It was a couple of weeks ago and it's kind of comical IMO. Everybody was trying to get me to run this Honda and that Honda. Nope, I want a piece of that Neon SRT4! Done.

I was sleeping at the line. Rolled into it, up in smoke. then I missed 2nd lol. Found it, up in smoke. Finally got traction, shifted to third and it was ON! But too late lol. I was reeling him in on the big end and to my surprise, despite all the issues i had in the first 60', he only got me by 1 car.

I was pleasantly impressed. I need some sticky tires, a traction bar, kpro and tuned and it will be a different story.

The neon driver: "I could defiantly tell the difference between half throttle and full throttle from my mirror. That thing sounds really good too!"



Trying running people from a roll. 2nd gear around 35mph or 3rd gear 60mph roll. :)


Yeah, most definatley. Funny thing is I called it before we even raced. i told him I'd have no traction and would have to ease into it through second. I even told him second was hit or miss and I'd probably miss lol. I was dead on haha.

I had an RSX Type S mess with me between lights the other day. We where in second and he kept revving, so I pointed forward and we both floored it. I left him like he had a B series in that thing lol. At the next light he quickly got in to the far lane and turned.

Even if he knew what I had it would have been dumb of him to instigate it. An RSX is just too heavy. I love my sleeper. :)

- Fri Mar 27, 2015 11:53 pm #352853 About a week or so after doing the k swap my speedo started jumping around erratically. Sometimes it wouldn't go above 40. I really didn't want to buy a new cluster so I pulled it out and reflowed some of the solder points on the speedo PCB. It works perfectly again!

No. It's killing me!

It's just not in the budget at the moment since we are taking a Vegas vacation in July!

Well a guy here local can get me v4 for $660 total cost with my ECU. Tax money came in, so now I'm waiting on his buddy's to come back from Hondata. He is going to loan it to me while mine gets sent out since he hasn't even done the swap yet.

Thanks though. It was something i was looking into.

Also trying to secure a cut RBC with TB adapter, thermal gasket and some RDX injectors. Then I'll get it tuned (I'll be putting the injectors in at the tuners shop).

- Fri Apr 24, 2015 1:21 am #353402 Just placed my order for a brand new RBC intake, K-tuned throttle body adapter and P2R thermal intake gasket! I'll cut the intake at work.

As soon as I get that loaner prb with kpro v4, I'll send mine out to have kpro installed as well!

Now to source some RDX injectors!

- Fri Apr 24, 2015 7:42 pm #353413 Talked to Vit Tuned about the injectors. Glad I did. he told me not to waste my money on the injectors just yet. The stock ones will be fine, as I don't see myself doing anything else for awhile. Good thing too, as that money will go to him to tune it. it's also nice that Vit Tuned is here in Oregon, so I'll be driving my car there for him to dyno tune once i get all my parts.

It was kind of funny watching him put it in 6th thinking he was in reverse too lol.

I cut the water passage off to fit my a2 head already, but I'll have to finish it at work Monday.

Kpro has been ordered and awaiting return as well!

Thanks! I'll post as much as I do to her.

Ordered a radiator yesterday. Waiting on that as well.

I'm hoping by the end of this month to have it tuned! I'll post the dyno results when I do.

- Tue May 05, 2015 10:55 pm #353568 Finished up the manifold at work today. If I had the tools needed at home I would have taken my time to smooth it out a little better for a "cleaner" look. But functionality was the main goal.

New radiator should be here Thursday as well!
