I did the same thing with a NA!!!! Love working on it!!!,

Yes, my experience was the nearly the same. There was one important difference.

You said. "Buy everything. Wife gets excited."

Change the word "excited" to "angry."

Funny thing is that when I got my turbo I told my wife it was already fast and I wouldn't need to do the mods like I did with my '01....I told her I didn't lie on purpose.

My wife {who is lead footed} Keeps asking me when am I going to make her Pt as fast as mine.....

Not she alredy drive to fast and I replace her front rotors every 10-20,000 miles from her warping them

Went with wife looking for a Toyota Matrix or Ford Focus.
Saw a PT (NA).
Was surprised at how practical it was.
Lost wife in car lot.
Found wife admiring the color of electric blue PT (see signature line).
Learned it was a GT with 4,500 miles for $17,000.
Test drove it.
Bought it.
Now my wife keeps showing me chrome mods that can be done to it.
I am resisting the potential mods "money-pit" bug, but am growing weak.

Im a bit past that point.

...Realize your Auto Tranny is a POS and wont reach 300 torque w/o breaking.
By another older car to make fast instead.

....or realize that the PT will never be a true sports car so go out and buy a Miata for the twisty bits. Looks good in the garage next to the PT, too!

By the way, SakiGT, what kind of "older car" did you buy, or are you still looking?
