Hello all from Indiana!

Hey Everyone!

Thought, I'd introduce myself! I'm from Crown Point, Indiana. Recently just got into Eco-Modding as a few months ago, partly in result to my Gas Guzzling 2005 Mustang GT v8, with 4.10 gears and some other things to add that are not the best combination for FE lol.

As I was saying recently got very interested in fuel savings/eco-modding, and found this forum, thought I'd sign up. I'm picking up a 2002 Neon 2.0 I4 tomorrow, which I plan on turning into a project and trying to make it even more fuel efficient then its current rating, so I hope to learn a lot, and plan to post all my updates on the forum!

Thanks!
mkdude

Welcome from a fellow Hoosier. There are a few guys on here with Mustangs. I'm sure you'll run into them eventually. The Neon project sounds interesting. I'm working on a Dodge, too--just a wee bit larger

Welcome aboard. Beat my Mustang's lifetime average with your next fill in your Neon, and you're off to a good start. It shouldn't be too difficult.

Haha Mustang Dave, Actually, I think the better challenge would be making my v8 Mustang get 30 MPG ...but I don't see that happening lol

Anyways, just an update, picked up a 2001 Dodge Neon(4cyl 2.0), now for Project Neon!
