Love it! The Guppy Mobile! Have you done any mods to the inside or engine? I used to have a Chrysler Neon and it was a great car to drive.

They are a great car. I bought this car at 3 years old. Had it ever since. On the inside there is a custom cluster over lay, seats, matching black and red interior, leather door trim, Kenwood audio system,dark window tint. Under the hood MSD coil pack and plug wires, 60mm throttle body with limiter removed compared to the 55mm stock. AC delete meaning all air conditioning components are removed. give more power to the engine and less weight overall on the car. After market headman header, 2.5 inch unrestricted exhaust system. Also custom brakes, rims, custom grill, projector headlights, spoiler, after market tail lights and hood.

Wow, That was a whole different language! I feel like I'm missing out by not knowing more about cars! Did you do all the work yourself?

Yes it really is another language. lol But yes most of the work was done myself or with the help of friends.

Nice! I wish I knew more about cars, so at least the mechanic could not rip me over....

I'm somewhat of a car guy myself.. My Best Friend and I used to work on them all the time. He recently passed away (at 30.... for unknown reasons!!!) but he was "The speaker guy"... he rebuilt and repaired stereo equipment... I did all his car audio work... I still do, but since his passing, I haven't done much. Car wise Im an import guy, however I have nothing against the "american" cars either...I currently own a 1984 CIVIC, that has a whopping 125,000 ORIGINAL K's on it... And im not a "ricer".... Everything on my car is original.. and I plan to keep it that way... or "slightly modified" other than rims and paint. I pulled the stock bucket seats from an 88 prelude, and the factory LED spoiler from the 'lude as well. My car is pretty much the only 84 in this area still alive (other than the clutch) I have only ever seen 88 and up... even local scrap-yards don't have parts for my car....I would be driving it right now if I had someone able to help me with the clutch. My buddy was a DIE HARD Mustang fan, and had a nice (near) 10sec. 86 convertible! He even LOVED my car... we restored the body on that car, from near death... we did a LOT of work to it... and I probably will never sell it... Even though it looks like the Bastard child of a K Car and a Volvo!! He loved it because it's Carbureted! and he was happy to be working on it with me.
Your neon looks like a nice ride.. Nice and clean... Glad to see it doesn't have the "Supra" shopping cart spoiler on it that I see some with... Just because it fits.

lol no shopping cart spoilers for me. But thank for you compliment. Had this car since it was a year old. 84 civic nice. Keeping it alive. Sounds good tho but hopefully you can get that clutch fixed. And its always good to have friends to help out. I need more friend like that. Most the time I do everything alone. lol thanks again

The next addition to your car needs to be a "guppy" personalized license plate!
