I'm a big fan of this guy's approach. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ People who install their own bellypans/wheel well liners and other aerodynamic treatment also testify that it has reduced road noise in addition to getting better gas mileage. While a lot of things do add weight, there are o...

When you aren't weaving in and out of traffic and stay in the slow lane, not having the passenger side mirror isn't a big deal. ARE THOSE the Chrysler Imperial rims ?? :thumbup: - Nick Yeah budd...

Check out http://ecomodder.com/forum/ There is a wealth of information there in the form of articles and tests done by the members . Someone there had a second gen with aerodynamic mods that could make you think. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk268/elcamino-dude/Image0358_zpsf6a73e0e.jpg http:/...

Thanks for all the info chip. Is there a set price for a 4.12 fd swap? I was curious on your price for labor and possibly the gearset if you had any to sell.

I read that the srt spindles move them inward. Worth looking into if the options above aren't any good for you.

Looks cool. What turned me off of mirrors like that was the lack of autodimming or flipping them up at night. I don't remember finding any, I'd fear everyone else's headlights. I tried an autodimming mirror from a 2500 Ram that's slightly wider, only to find that it was annoying having to look at th...

This is the one the OP wants. Not the first ebay auction listed. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrysler-PT-Cruiser-CENTER-CONSOLE-lid-trim-door-/350482826638?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3APT+Cruiser&vxp=mtr&hash=item519a67858e#ht_500wt_1413 Indeed, I was just using the one I posted t...

IIRC the PT center console is taller in the back, but could be used if that portion was trimmed down to match the floor pan. Then again, the portion that has the screws to mount it may be different as well, you might end up with a huge gap. You can see what I'm talking about in this auction. http://...

No spacer needed. Those pictures are from my car. It is installed and chopped. Made a big difference. It will not fit a 1gn, as I have tried. I will post a picture of a stock one installed so you can see. I was posting to see if anyone here had done it yet. It does when you use the spacer and a fir...

I am fairly certain you have to use the spacer that's between the base and the shifter to use the pt cruiser shifter. http://www.robertsmedia.net/underconsole.jpg It will probably require longer bolts/studs. I've seen it posted as a budget short throw shifter over on neons.org, there is probably mor...

Only a few hundred. Almost two of it was for two different radiators. I give them the thumbs up.

Changing my dirty air filter helped a bit too :D I changed it at it's normal interval, but it was much dirtier this time around. The only difference was no air silencer. Who knew it was actually good for something? Changing your air filter from a dirty one to a clean one does not have an effect on ...

35 in fifth is great for gas mileage. Best mileage is achieved typically at the lower revs in whatever the top gear is. When it was warm, I was able to get a hair over 60mpg by doing so (in my slightly modified first gen, observed in real time with my scangaugeII, on level ground). As speed increas...

anyone else want to confirm?

I'm not sure if they improved the casting flash on the block by the water pump, but on my 1998 neon it was not only obvious, but something easy to do. So I did it. I don't think I've ever seen pics of someone else's, but here are a before/after of mine. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/fusion2...

Low rpm/higher load. You'll be at a more efficient spot on the brake specific fuel consumption map. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_specific_fuel_consumption If you're at a lower speed, you'll also have the advantage of less drag on your side. Not only from the air, but from rolling resistance. F...

They're also good for practicing driving techniques and modifications to improve fuel economy.

You actually save gas with heavier acceleration. not if it gets you to the red light or stop sign faster. That's why you drive like a normal person when it comes to things like that. In no way did I suggest heavily accelerating to a stop sign where you'd have to slam on the brakes. :lol: not really...

There are a lot of options now for fuel economy gauges. I wouldn't get that one unless you really wanted the gtech features or just liked the looks. I'm still rocking my scangaugeII http://www.scangauge.com/ MPGuino which you can assemble yourself http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/MPGuino http://e...

One important factor would be the ethanol content of the gas you're using. E10 will get worse mileage than straight gasoline. Not really true. With a carburetor/distributor controlling the spark curve, more likely, but the PCM can make up for it. I have used up to 4 gallons of E85, and not seen muc...

Here's a published paper on it.

I've seen two different bolts used in second gens at the junkyard. I've also had nothing but problems with the heat shield bolts there even on southern cars (from when I went scrounging around for an exhaust manifold) It does look like the head snapped off of the bolt in that spot. It might be far e...

This summer i'll prolly be able to drive 45MPG @75MPH thanks to my summer tires, chiptuning and underdrive pulley :) That would be nice, but I think it's a bit optimistic. When it was in the 50s, that's what I get with my modified first gen at 65mph. It has the lowest rolling resistance tires you c...

Does anyone else not understand this logic? You guys think I should still help seeing that they have money to burn on aftermarket parts? Not at all. I agree with you 100%. How can people expect handouts when they're spending money that doesn't need to be spent? It needs struts? You go to pull a par...

I really like this article about headers.

It's a good read.

That's what happened in one of my cars. It was the cat falling apart on the inside. Can you tell where the rattle is? At least if it's towards the front of the car vs the back?
