Thanxs Evo..

Firgured out my power steering situation for the 2.4 swap..
Instead of paying an arm, a leg, and a nut for the SRT4 setup, I'm gonna use a combination of the PT Cruiser Pump, PT Pressure Line, 1gn Reservoir, 1gn Rubber Return Lines, and the 2gn Hard Return Line..

Here's the PT stuff..
Image
Power Steering Pump
Pressure Line
Return line to Reservoir (Grabbed just in case but will use the 1gn hose..)

I might grab the 1gn stuff tomorrow.. We'll see..

I think Lorenzo sells a bracket so you can just use your stock pump.... wait, now that I'm thinking about it that was when I did the 2.4 swap into my first gen.

Yea that bracket is for the 1gn.. The 2gn's pump will work/bolt in but the pressure line will get in the way as well as the reservior (I think)..

I could use the stock pump with the pt pressure line (cuz it goes underneath the motor) and make the stock return line work but the pump thats on the current 2.0 is already bad..

Besides that I'm using the all the Pt brackets so everything will line up and I wont have to worry bout modifing too much to make it work..

that ain't right.... I was looking at the BUX speedo that guy was selling too and he said he already had a buyer..... and that dual Porsche tip ? ? found one on Ebay for $249.99. I'm sure you didn't pay that.

i think if you shaved the marker light. it may work better. getting rid of thelight will not make the vent look soooo big.

i love opening this thread. you just never know what you will find. :)
