some kids stole the tires and rims but I'm over that,

what kits are good? everything to my knowledge is stock

duel exhaust
2.0 L DOHC

HELP ME

or refer me to a website that can help thank you
2. inmyshadow Says: Take care of that ACR. Not many N/A ACRs were made.

You can do alot with your magaum SOHC. To start with, your motor isn't the run of the mill SOHC. The head had larger exhaust ports. Stronger valvetrain. One of the best stock SOHC cams. Stock short tube header. Even the intake manifold is cool. Its a two runner intake manifold. The best part of your car? The adjustable struts.

I wouldn't worry about the stock wheels. They weren't special wheels and used across the highline neons of that year.

4. Walesauto Says: There are some websites that provide body kits for the car like
www.andysautosport.com
www.bodykits.com

For wheels and tires i would go to
www.tirerack.com
www.wheelmax.com

For little things go on ebay. You can find neat stuff to spiff it up and for pretty cheap.

Because of the 4 cylinder you are limited for horses. Things like cold air intake and a cat back system might add 15 horses at the most. a new programmable ecu, crankshaft and fuel rail could get you another 50-100.
