Can anyone share the issues that the Neon Rally Cross build/workup was featured?
Looking for a winter project.
Thank you

I do not have the issue but you are looking for but you might want to talk to Chris Greenhouse he has had "some luck" with rallying a neon.

RallyCross Winter Project Recipe:
Do whatever maintenance required and/or desired.
Get snow tires.
Find and attend next rallycross.
I think the GRM RallyX Neon ended up on KYB GR2 struts with ACR Springs, had a hot motor, and a limited slip differential added. That's pretty much the path to follow with any cone squishing rallycross car: good tires, slightly stiffer suspension that doesn't give up travel, and a lsd if budget allows.

Yes, decent tires and some KYB GR2s and you'll be fine. Add the SRT-4 stock springs (which are available pretty cheaply) for some added stiffness and some lift (about an inch, inch-and-a-half). Just remember to use loc-tite, or this could happen to you, too.
Greenhouse's Neon is really well sorted and I'd pay attention to any advice he has to give on the subject.

Thanks for the input all.
Will try to find the articles just to get a feel for what all was involved.
Appreciate the information.
