Are Neons Same As Dsm's

[roll hard 95]

HEY THERE GUYS I CAN GET A DOPE DEAL ON 95 NEON SPRINGS, WILL THEY FIT ON MY 95 ECLIPSE. ARE THE THE SAME? COMPATIBLE?
GET AT ME ASAP, PLEASE!!!!!!

i dont know off the top of my head but just using logic I want to say no..since the suspension is different and the weight of the car is different..

As far as I know, the only similarity between the neon and the DSM's is that the engine in the neon is the same as the 95-99 2.0 NT DSM's. Not even the same intake will fit in the engine bay. I highly doubt springs are the same on both cars.

On a neon the engine is turned around so the intake face the front and exhaust is in the back. that is why an intake will not fit.

No.

Like Jayrock said, the only thing the same is the engine.. the eclipse weighs alot more than the Neon..

 

[Awdboost]

No, different car.

I dunno, I tend to think of all NT Eclipses as Neons w/ bodykits.

Sure, but Rob (Black95GSX on this forum I believe) is who I heard it from. It's what we say when we see riced out NT's runnin' around Tucson. Kids are always, "Dude I'm gonna turbo my RS, get it runnin 11's" and I go "Dude, you have a Neon w/ a bodykit, get real". 90% of people I talk to have no idea what it takes to run 11's, much less on a friggen' NEON motor. Like my friend who wants to twin-turbo his Daewoo, god that was funny the day I heard that crap. "Sometimes reality sucks, but we all gotta live in it"

What's wrong with a 420a engine?

Remember, the only similarities are in the engine bay. Neons suck and as far as I'm concerned they can take that R/T crap and shove it up their (insert favorite adjective), cheap econobox lookin pieces of (another explative would do well here) with fake Rice-a-Roni Japanese look-a-like spoiler and San-Francisco-Treat-Havin..........
