Good luck!

While the engine/trans are out I'd spend a few bucks and a few hours and do struts/springs, tie rods, etc.

Oh also, the IAT sensor is 1/2" NPT so just drill and tap the airbox lid and it'll screw right in place.

It would greatly benefit you to be using some type of tool to monitor real time IAT's. ...

HAI then aero mods, tires at 50psi, you'll get your 40+ if you run all highway between 55-65mph but going to 70mph you'll dip way down into the low 30's.

You will probably find that during winter...

The spoked wheels came on '01-02 model years from what I've read. The machined wheels came later.

As for the thump at idle it's not terrible, less than my friend's Buell Blast 500cc single... but...

Re: Dodge Neon Warm Air Intake

You need to figure out if the Neon has a MAF or not.

In my opinion that's why Saturns benefit so much from HAI's, because they are not.

Re: '96 Saturn sold, '01 Saturn finally on the road!
