2 Sweet Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Welcome, good intro. I don't like PT Cruisers, it seems like only old senile people drive them, but at least the turbo model has some potential. I always thought it would be cool to take an HHR SS, lower it on nice wheels, build up the motor, etc. Nobody would expect it to be fast. Basically the same idea and the same concept as you building a turbo PT. I'm interested to see what you end up doing with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a7x1990 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey heres a question for all of ya... what do think i should do? keep regular suspension parts on it or throw it on Air ride? Love the idea of air ride to lower it to the ground but im thinkin it wont really help that well for drags or AutoX or what ever other event i might try and run it in. Ill most likely scratch the whole air ride plan and keep it for my ranger, later in life. and put the pt on a racing suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Lowering springs with some quality struts, or adjustable coilovers. Is the suspension basically the same as a Neon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Had a PT Cruiser rental once. Seriously the worst car on the planet. Would rather have one of my old 80's volvo's instead. Hopefully putting the neeyawn motor in them makes it more livable. Welcome, and I hope you have fun here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a7x1990 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Lowering springs with some quality struts, or adjustable coilovers. Is the suspension basically the same as a Neon? I couldnt tell you, im looking up on that right now. there are many similarities between the neon and pt as well as differences. ya shame on me for not doin my homework.

sol740 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'm also in the general dislike of PT cruisers camp. Though it was a solid intro and you don't come off like a dipshit (not yet anyway). Welcome, and try not to get too toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 pts are gay.. so are neons..... If Paul had his way everything would be gay. Nice intro thread and welcome. I'd do a manual tranny swap before anything else on that car. The main reason it is slow is due to that auto tranny that can't hold any power anyways.

AJ Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hey also I graduated from Lincoln College of Technology Last year for collision repair, Kind of looking for a job at some custom shop or anywhere really, I've tried so many places around here I've walked in, called, gave out resumes and still haven't had any luck.

TIG and MIG. come in to the ricart collision center, its in whitehall. ask to talk to ron tackett and tell him i sent you. can't promis you a job but we'll see what happens.

a7x1990 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 The 41TE auto I think it is. They can't hold power for shit. Mine holds pretty well i think. but thats me. and that the only sort of power iv ever had a chance to drive so far. but once i get a chance im going to swap out trannys, for a standard. i mean atleast i have an autostick, ya i know it isnt anything but it lets me get more power out of it then a normal auto and doesnt let me over rev. ya dont bash me on that comment. i know.

a7x1990 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sell it and buy a sports car. if I were to sell it, the money Id get from it would go towards paying it off and Id probably still have to pay it off. so thats kind of pointless.

Guest tbutera2112 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 i never understood what is so special about autos with a manual shift mode....you slide it over to the M mode, then push the stick back and forth to go up and down... cant you do that anyways on any auto? they have 1 2 3 D etc...its the same shit isnt it?
