At one time, it was a very common sight at autocrosses: a Neon on AR-24 wheels. Today, not so much, but we have the memories. In 2006, Bill Ehrman and company entered a 1997 model that they had purchased for a hundred bucks.
“We pulled off everything we didn’t need,” Bill told us, “sold what we could and then put MegaSquirt in charge of both fuel and timing.” The team had problems with the custom turbo setup, though, as the PVC piping couldn’t contain the boost.
