Yea I see some crappy pics of them, don't look like it's blocking much. Idk, I have to decide. Both pillars in the car have 3 screw holes in them too. I was hoping to cover them up.
Cluster one does look better, and noone would see them so I wouldn't get the people wanting to race every second.

Got a late christmas present today.

Compared to a 32inch tv.

Also finally decided on the gauges stuff. Going to get the one that goes around the cluster. And going to give the Nitrous gauges from Harbor Freight a try since the car is all stock, and I'm only putting them in for insurance reasons for now. Later I'll buy an Autometer or Glowshift Elite gauge.

Damn like the poster

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Sun Jan 03, 2010 1:08 pm

It's actually not a poster, but a banner. Which makes it nicer because it will last longer, and could be used as like a flag or something.

Well alternator went in the 1st gen.

The alternator started whining today and the belt came apart. Put a new belt on and it still wasn't charging. Checked the alternator and the wire and the stud were melted completely off.

P.O.S.

Yea i'm not sure why the shit melted. But OB has to come down off the frame machine and probably take a trip to the junkyard tomorrow.

poor 1gn=( its okay though she will be all better soon OB TO THE RESCUE

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Sun Jan 03, 2010 11:37 pm

Yea I knew better then to put OB to sleep completely, Bad part is i unhooked the battery and shit this morning, so the radio is all reset.

And I can't believe how small the banner makes the tv look. The tv itself looks huge in my little room, but the banner is like 60 inches lol.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sun Jan 03, 2010 11:46 pm

Lol damn. I just want a 26-32" flat-panel tv. Although that banner looks legit, too...

7 inch of snow here. Ofcourse we get snow when the 1gn breaks down.

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 9:46 am

Snow is royally gay.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:19 am

It's been snowing here for five days on and off, it's rather annoying. Poor OB has to run a rescue mission for it's older brother.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:30 am

I called the local jy and they don't have one. The body shop my dad works at has an jy deliver up there so I'm going to have him get me one.

My mom might be dropping me off at work in her jeep because I don't know if my car will make it back up my driveway. 1gn goes alot better in the snow. idk if it's the tires or the lsd.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:49 am

Hey anyone know if a pt alt will fit a 1st gen? I keep reading that a 2nd gen alt will work, so I see no reason a pt won't.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 3:32 pm

Alternator is out, just waiting on dad to get home from work with junkyard pt cruiser alternator.

The post that melted off:

OB ready for action

Almost touching

Big Red in the air

The power wire that was on the alternator post.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 6:39 pm

LOL at how high in the air the neon is, did you get it fixed yet?

Dad come home? Ha ha poor OB

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 7:34 pm

I like my working space lol. Yep. Got all the wires reworked, soldered, heat shrinked.. That shit. Got the alternator off a 2003 PT on it. It works on 1gn's btw.. The alternator says 120 on it so I have a bigger one now, yay. It is reading 14.17 at idle when I checked it so for now we are good.

1st Gen alternator job is easy compared to 2gn.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 7:57 pm

Awesome! Big Red is back on the road and little OB can sleep

For now lol. It seems like everytime it snows is when I have to take OB out. If it doesn't snow again this car will run forever.

Going out to put some miles on it to test everything tonight. And to play in a little snow lol.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 8:57 pm

I'm figuring because I just bought new snow tires it may not snow for the rest of the season

. Wishful thinking I know....

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 10:26 pm

First it broke the powersteering belt. Or atleast I think. Never found it. Then it started shredding the alternator belt. Fuck this car.

Either the crank pulley is bent, or not in far enough, or something.
