how do these 16 and 17 year old guys get brand new 17000.00 +cars and a couple of em claim two, ...dont you have to be old enough to drive?
now dont get mad ,im just kidding.
mines a 2001 with 65 k on it allready,was white , but we shot a bunch of clear with "house of color blue pearl in it ,came out nice .doing true ghost flames next week in another pearl thats a bit lighter kind of turquose ,does a really trick ghost effect.
all the other mods that have been done are not your typical ,"rhetro ,fuzzy dice ,chromowoodie ,boring same old same old.
i get more stares from pt oweners then anyone else and its fun talking to them cause i dont think the kind of things i did were even considerd by the pt crowd, my thinking was more along the lines of an italian exotic then then a modern hotrod.
without bragging about all the form before fashion up grades ill just get a pic up soon as i can and you'll see what i mean , and if anyones interested i can tell the stories of all the wasted money spent buying cool stuff that didnt work but i thought i could make it somehow, but, the ones that did work turned out better then i thought. its one of thouse deals that you would have to see, a parts list wouldn't make sence i will just say this theres a blower involved, 18 in. wheels [9 lbs each ] 40 series rubber,i got the car new with a automatic transe,which i didnt want but at 13.000.00 out the door i managed, but the transe has been beefed up by a transe guy i know who did it just cause every one told us we couldnt do anything with it, and to loose a bit more grip on reality , a B&M quicksilver racing auto trans ratchet shifter was instaled with min. modifacation,in fact that one is the most pt cruiser like thing done and they arent even made to work with a f.w.d. car, but it was suprizingly easy, and with mod shifting and better shift points the ratchet action is way cool,chrome ergo curved flat stick w/ anodized red ,alloy t-handle,so bad. i could post a step by step if any one was interested. anyway im affraid i got way to obscest with this, momo street racer seats,momo tornado wheel [no airbags anymore but, a very trick set of schroth 4 pt german racing harnesess tha are computer controlled to allow you to move around freely unlike most racin belts, but as soon as the controll unit senses a radical increase in excellaration,desellaration ,incline ,decline or moderatly hard Gs, they reel you in!,too cool. a bunch of serious suspension work,and oh yeah a totaly stealth audio sstemwith a matched set of momo/polk drivers in all the stock possitions a german speck blaupunkt hamburg head unit with parametric eq,controll mounted on the momo st. wheel all pushed with a 4 chan. Butler vacume tube amp. the polks are ok but im going too b&G neo 8 electrastatic ribbon drivers that are just perfect w/the hybrid tube amp ,and what i like best about it is car audio people have no idea what it is
and most important theres NO fuzzy dice, no 8 ball shiftenob, no bullit tail lights,no chrome grill and most important,none of thouse led winshield squirters
well now that ive shot off my mounth and pissed off a few people id better post so good shots and it would be cool if somebody were interestedin one or more of the mods that were done,asyou can tell , i dont mind talking about it
mab
ps if any one wants to know how i stuffed a 12 in ceramic polk sub and the amp both in the left rear storage space ,including 1.44 cubic feet forthe sub .... email me ill fill y a in .
thanks for having a nice site where i could babble
