Very cool. Those trubos are pretty quick too. Keep up the good work, always nice to have a gal on the boards who enjoys modding her car.

Actually that is a nice looking PT Cruiser. I think I'd rather have that than a hooked up xB. The body kit and rear bumper look especially nice. Does the trubo minivan sport an SRT4 engine? If so it should respond really well to mods.
Oh, & lmao at willdogs pic.

If you can get over the fact that "its a PT Cruiser." You can get some fun out of these things. My buddy up north runs 12s with nitrous.
So...couple things:
Same engine as SRT-4 : different intake manifold (form over function) and different exhaust. The engine was actually designed for the PT Cruiser then dropped into the neon frame. Probably why the SRT is being discontinued.
I have Stage I, exhaust, intake and IC pipes. Should be dynoing it soon for the first time
No AWD. I wish they were RWD...that would be so nice.
Two doors? People have been asking for it since 2001. Hopefully it happens:

BTW, when I rented a PT Cruiser GT with an auto a while back it surprised a lot of people at stoplights thinking they could easily pass me. Some of them had this
look on their faces.Oh yeah and your PT looks really nice, not a fan of the hood though but other than that it looks nice.

looks really good and i usually hate pt cruisers. I'd rock yours though! Did you replace the headlights or refinish them? My girlfriend's stratus is having the same thing happen and the rubbing compount trick didnt work. I've yet to try wetsanding.

Mine were too far gone...inside and outside were crappy and I had burnt the housing with the wrong bulbs once. These will be my HID retro project housings now

Undecided. Tearing up www.hidplanet.com for ideas. I have very little depth to work with.
