    Jeff's beater #8, 9, 10 update

    Wow guys the PT is getting all the attention, so surprised the EM1 is losing out here. I've never driven the HHR so I don't know...on paper it's a bit quicker. I think it's a pretty hideous automobile. Interestingly there's a video where the two cars raced that was recently posted, the PT had...

    Jeff's beater #8, 9, 10 update

    Thanks. I have the Mopar OEM stage 1 PCM and a 50% reduction short throw shifter, that's it. Yes there are other options available and these cars respond very well to bolt ons....however my need for speed no longer exists and I don't want to strain the car, I just enjoy it as a runabout, so I'm...

    Jeff's beater #8, 9, 10 update

    There's one out there on YouTube with 800 wheel hp. I suppose any platform can be taken to the moon. Mine is properly quick. 0-60 is in the low 6s. It's a fun change after 7 years with the ST, it's an old school turbo where you get nothing nothing nothing then all of a sudden around 3k rpms the...

    Jeff's beater #8, 9, 10 update

    Thanks for the good words everyone. PT GT was well engineered and seriously overbuilt big time by Chrysler. The car has so many upgrades compared to the standard PT it's insane. All sorts of appearance changes, suspension changes, 5 speed Getrag transmission, sport seats, a ton of other...

    Jeff's beater #8, 9, 10 update

    Hey friends, It's been 9 months since I passed the FiST on to a new and happy owner and I have no regrets. It was a great car for 7 years but I don't miss it. I found that my truest joy was acquiring rare and interesting cars rather than owning any one or two for the long-term. I've previously...

    OEM Style twin gas struts for bonnet

    After more sleuthing I found this tidbit I wrote at the time, maybe it will help: 1,729 views • Dec 6, 2017 Dark Ice Design hood struts, $60. Had some install issues as the bracket touches the headlight, but after adjusting the bracket everything fit well. You have to push the bracket all the...

    OEM Style twin gas struts for bonnet

    It's on post #193 of my build thread you can get some info there....around that time which was December 2017 I also shot a video and discussed them though I didn't title it as such but I remember talking about them and showing a few things in conjunction with discussing some other upgrades at...

    OEM Style twin gas struts for bonnet

    I got them installed fine, and I remember discussing this issue you mention on my youtube channel, but I can't remember which video it was. Suffice to say they installed just fine with a little tweaking and never gave me problems.

    FS Stock turbo 18k miles XC

    Parade ruined, I stand corrected. BS not intended, I stuck my finger on the center of the turbine and it didn't seem to move. However after reading this I got more aggressive and yes it does move a tiny bit. The turbo is in excellent shape though, I suspect the tiny bit of movement is spec as...
