Hi Hooligan and Crewzin.
Thanks for the quick response!
I just called a long time family used mechanic and turns out he has been working on PTs since they came out. I used to have nothing but Hondas

and that is his other specialty.
Hopefully he can give me the final word on what the heck is happening to my poor PT.
This coming right at the time I was about to add a roll pan, drop the rear, pin stripe it and get MOONIE rims with purple accent.
