not good at all.. people/factory need to use anti-seize more often!

Got a set of Eibach Prokit springs from Zeitgeist (actually 2 sets, but dvon17 gets the other), installed them over the past 2 days.. so much headache. But they're finally on (and didnt remove a single knuckle :P) I didnt really want to lower the car, but the price was right and I don't like the 4x4...

^ that too. the rears are larger than the fronts IIRC. but like you said you have done this before. Do you have the sway bar links disconnected? Getting the LCA down low enough can be a PITA with them off, let alone with it on. I have had to use a pipe wrench to pull them down enough to get the stu...

lol nah springs arent upside down :P on the passenger side it seems top rub on the stud for the upper mount bracket. on the driverside w/ the new control arm/bushings/balljoint i cant get the ball joint straight (up and down) enough to get the knuckle to seat. looks like i may have to un bolt the kn...

ok.. ive done this before but im running into an issue.. installing eibach prokit springs on stock struts. the driver side i cant get back on the ball joint (I removed the entire knuckle since i dont have axles and saves me from 'having' to get an alignment when its road ready..) but its a brand new...

Hooked up the battery to see what all didnt work.. turns out the PT keyless box works but isnt ideal.. locking the car actually makes the trunk pop open :P but thankfully found a...

finally tore down the block and painted it (epoxy paint), just ordered up all the 'refresher' parts from rock auto. slowly getting there

They have different part numbers. The magnum starter is also the same as some kia and hyundai starters

PT is finally gone, got $150 for it (after calling around to like 8 different places $200 was the best anyone would do and then when they saw the car it went down to $150 :P). About an hour after it was picked up someone on CL responded to my listing about the shell for $400.. SMH oh well $150 isnt ...

Grrr ok thank, yeah jeffB chimed in on .org, guess its just clocked differently

Need a picture of how much smaller the magnum starter is versus the normal 2g starter.

All I have laying around is a 1G starter and a PT starter.

How many times did you cut yourself on the razor blade-like edges of that intake manifold? I hate working under the hood of those things. Zero times, was actually easier stripping the motor in the PT than it was the Neon, leaning towards having a huge opening in front of the car, but didnt break a ...

Got a lot removed so far :) had to cut off the a/c due to a snapped bolt. Wiring harness was a piece of cake to remove, love that the injector harness is separate. I still hate pt cruisers tho :p https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/414475_3735817867872_1048858191_3366963_97039738_o....

Just finished parking my new parts car :) 2002 PT Cruiser 5spd (3.94 w/ .72 5th gear :|) 156k, new tires, new brakes but pedal is all spongey, clutch is a year old. Runs, but you have to start it with a screw driver since the ignition was popped, power door locks dont work either. And the price.. $7...

^^ should know i just put my R/T Head, Cam and Header on ebay. no reserve!

Mounted the cruise vac box w/ rivet nuts, stock uses push pins.. I <3 rivet nuts, also used them on the steering joint cover (just like i did on my 1g) https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/544979_3664382922043_1048858191_3330212_1948480931_n.jpg Fuel and brake lines back in, along wi...

The nonabs rear disc master cylinder is the same as the drum but it has a 15/16" bore instead of 7/8" not a huge difference but they did it for a reason and $35 for a new one ain't too bad.

Just scored a new non-abs rear disc master cylinder ($35) and 2 new acr front calipers w/ pads ($16ea) at rockauto bunch of other parts on the way from a guy on srtforums (booster,mounts,shiftboot...etc)

tuesday haul from the junkyard: all 4 doors and trunk weather stripping (from an 05), cruise control everything (from that same 05), front fender liners, mtx steering column :x , power/folding pass. mirror, pass. door handle and misc trim. Got all the weather stripping free!! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a...

Just figured this out (After buying a whole column from the junkyard...) Its super easy to turn the ATX column into the MTX column (w/ the button to release the key) Just remove the 2 torx screws and swap the pieces. ATX: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/dawm/2012-05-15234132.jpg MTX: http://i...

Removed the power steering rack (dumb stupid screws that hold on the steering coupler cover.. now I remember why I replaced em w/ rivet nuts on the 1g.. screws wo/ thread all the way to the top just spin..) and applied some left over POR15 to the kframe and any seam rust I could find, now to get som...

I'm thinking of reusing the A/C canister sleeve/bracket for a coolant bottle, just gotta find a bottle that fits in that sleeve snuggly.. the stocker just doesnt look right and the SRT one doesnt bolt up to pre2003 bodies or cut the canister open and see whats inside, if its easily gutted i'll just ...
