1999 plymouth breeze

[stover]

my mom is going to buy me one for 500$ .. only thing is it has 135k miles.. the seller said it is well maintained and runs fine because it is a company car but i was wondering would i be able to rebuild the engine with new parts and be able to trust it to last.. like wat should be replaced and etc..



also i am thinking big very sleeper on this one and i want to modify a 99 dodge neon turbo kit for the car.. it has the same engine so the only thing that wil lbe modded is the tubing for length and etc... so wats every1 think.. good first car??

p.s. it is a five speed

keep it stock. yes its a perfect first car.

i am starting to think i wil keep it stock and but one thing that will have to be done is the interior will have to come out and be swapped or super cleaned because the owner was a smoker and i cant stand the smell of cigarets... but anyway im thinkin this will be my everyday car and i will start a real project car that has an aftermarket for it when i move out cus right now theres not even any real room to keep the breeze in front of the house


having the breeze means having 3 cars in a 2 car driveway and 2 cars parked in front of the house where only one should fit

very true.. and a new quote for my sig lol.. anyway i have decided if i do get the car i am going to just clean it up and detail the interior and then sell it for KBB book value wich is almost a grand more than wat she said she would take

[ThePrimerSuspect]

haha.....im sigworthy. my work here is done.

Modding it would be cool, but its your daily driver! You cannot afford to have it off the road for months at a time, can you?

[Dave]

hmm im not saying keep it stock but do take your time in modifying. what you have there is the dohc 2.0 / 5 speed cloud car and while its aftermarket may not be huge thats the EXACT SAME drivetrain one would find in a 1st gen neon r/t which does have lots of parts. also, theres no need to waste lots of money on an srt/ptgt motor since a regular 2.4 motor can be had for a few hundred and srt/pt piston/rods about the same. blocks plenty strong, just gotta swap bearings

i say keep it stock b/c its a ****in plymoth breeze.....what kind of sense would it be to mod that....plus this kid just got his licence like a month ago....now unless he has money literally falling out of his ass to dump into a srt 4 swap, i don't think he'll do it.

[stover]

actually i dont get my liscence till this upcoming march so yea.. lol but i have the machanics/mod bug emplanted in my body and i cant stop modifying things or looking for new ideas to do to things.... ... and to think it all started because of xmods

[stover]

still open to peoples opinions/ideas

maybe its me, but i LOVE sleepers. and a breeze with a SRT swap.........well, who would ever expect that? i had a 93 corolla when i first started driving. now, being 16, i didnt know **** about making my car fast. for a corolla, it was pretty quick stock, and i loved it, so i made it look nice. i have been looking for another identical one to this day, so that i can make it fast now that i know what im doing, and cant find one. so, if anyone knows where theres a 93 corolla,white, base model, 4 door, 5 speed, with a blue interior, let me know.

[RayArroyo]

let me put some srt-4 godness in there

pm me with details.. i am seriosuly considering the swap

[stover]

probably goin to pic the car up today or if not later this weekend .. will post pics as soon as its here

[BradC]

Is this a 2.4L or 2.0L? I dont remember if the breeze came with the 2.4, I have been out of the Neon game for some time.

If its the 2.4L, stick a 2.0 DOHC head on it and get to rockin!

[stover]

nah its a 2.0l the 2.4 didnt come with a 5 speed option.. only an auto

bahaahahah i have like 6 xmods and 100s of parts my GF throws them out when im not looking

oh yeah and if it was the 2.4L that would be the same as the stratus/3g eclipse right?

[stover]

yea and if it was the 2.4 i could throw srt internals in it and go turbo

id take it easy on the first car, casue if it blows up then you have is a pair of chucks to walk in

[stover]

i noe.. it is the 2.0 so i dont really have options.. i thikn im gunna throw a glass pack and a k&n filter on and just get used to driving for a while

[sj2000stratus]

i had a 2000 stratus es with alot of parts that would have fit that breeze, but its gone now... i may have some left over because i bought and saved alot of parts. let me check and check out my cardomain site also

[stover]

sweet ... they are the same car just dodge/plymouth and wat exauhst did u have on it?

[turbo4g63]

PLEASE....don't put a rice coffee can muffler on there...the last thing this world needs is another annoyingly loud car..i'm begging you. Save the money you would put into that breeze, so you will have it for the future...whether it be money to put down on a nicer car in the future....or just save it so you have money in the bank

[stover]

thnx for the input.. an a coffe can would never go on any of the cars i will own.. i was thinkin a cherry bomb glass pack would sound sweet

[sj2000stratus]

there should be a sound clip on page 3 of my cardomain site, i had a magnaflow on it and did not sound like a art can. and yes do not put alot of money in it!!!

[sj2000stratus]

i know i have new headlight assemblies, stratus tail lights, 3 radio bezels
stock 15inch rims with new tires and factory airbox with k&n filter for sale cheap, and more but i have to check when i get home.

[stover]

well i might be interested in those wheels and tires.. the ones on the car are dryrot/worn low so it could use a set..

[stover]

bump for this.. getting the car as soon as we can get a meeting time/place with the owner.. only now im payin for it ..not my mom... but anyway .. any new ideas.... and i think im gunna end up puttin a thrush glasspack on it.. i just love that crackaling on decel
