tried to post 2 days ago, but it wouldnt let me, not sure why
anyways, the cars a 98 2.0L dodge neon RT, comes with a close ratio 5 speed (3.94 FD, .81 5TH)
currently has a cold air intake (that will be replaced soon), 4mm larger throttle body (which will be replaced soon), power steering pump impeller removed (so i can use it as an idler pulley for AC), no muffler (picked up and average of 1 mpg), no passenger seat, and an underdrive pulley that saved 5 pounds from stock, plus no wipers or antenna.
Im currently getting 42.18 mpg average, mostly freeway, at 55pmh.
Imediate plans are to put a different tranny in in 2 weeks (3.55 FD, .72 5TH, will drop my 55mph rpm from 2500 to 2000), along with a new clutch/flywheel that saves 6.25 pounds. I plan to delete the alternator this winter for long trips, and build a bracket to adjust belt tension for the AC with the AC compressor. Then with the 28 pounds of rotating weight lost from the wheels/tires, that should be close to 45 pounds rotating weight lost total on the whole car.
Later this year will also begin the aeromods.
Just curious, what section should i start a project log in?
