getting a broken down PT GT for dirt cheap to fuck around with

>>17247138
Fix it, and sell it.

>>17247138
ls1 swap

Put a nos kit on it without changing any of the internals.

>>17247315
Think I wanna keep it to fuck around in actually
Have wanted a neon to play in and this is the same thing with a bug shaped body

>>17247138
get nobby tires and rally it

>>17247138

Autocross it until it fucking dies.


It's a shit car to deal with day to day, but a PTGT can probably lay down some decent times and surprise the Miatafags who've dumped thousands into their setups. This assumes you're a decent driver and well acquainted with the FF layout's nuances.

Drop a rolls royce v12 in it, then do an ute conversion, then drop a manual tranny in it

Become death, destroyer of worlds

Step 1: Find a wrecked PTGT
Step 2: Swap everything over
Step 3: Stage 2 Tune
Step 4: Track it till it dies, which it will eventually.

and rwd conversion

Race, break, upgrade, repeat.
Dont stop until it is a rwd ls swapped autocross monster.

Since they're based off of 30's coupes and sedans, I've always wanted to see someone strip down the panels off a PT Cruised and turn it into a hot rod looking thing.

The 2.4 is a beast. The pt's weakness is the auto trans

>>17247138
bosozoku the thing

>>17248911
PTGT 5-speed manual owner here, can confirm. Get that 2.4 wound up to 4K and it fucking hauls. autocrossed it a couple times, and pissed off some miatafags.

Also destroyed my buddy's V6 mustang in a drag race.

>>17248911
noted that the thing is literally a tune away from SRT4 status
thus the idea is to beefcake it for fun with tasteful mods

>>17247138
Make this your life long project car.

Cut the roof off and make beach cruiser, obvs

>>17249074
Problem being that the engine is rotated in the most fuck-ridiculous way to fit in the tiny bay that the plenum is kissing the front rail. You will not be able to work on this engine so be careful with the boost you feed it.

>>17249325
Can confirm. Changing plugs requires dropping the engine.

>>17249325
>>17249508
I know, all maintenance I've done w PTs is fucking terrible
thanks for warning desu

>>17247138
If it has the SRT4 engine do bolt-ons and a tune and smoke Civics.

>>17249035
No surprise there. A srt neon is same hp as new edge GT.

Tune it
Roll it
Chop it
Swap it

>>17254504
Bump it

>stage 2 tune
What the fuck does that even mean

>>17254781
Better than stage 2 but not as good as stage 3

>>17254781
Not a bolt on

>>17254754
That's actually fucking dope

>>17247138
literally nothing. You can have more fun riding your bike

>>17255215
Wrong. Pushing your shitbox to the limit is a blast.
