Even better, put in on a Dyno to test horsepower gains from the aero mods. The hood vent and scoop probably add 5HP each, the chin spoiler another 5, and the wing must be good for 20!

This is too good for the internet. Will's monologue when first driving the PT Cruiser was hilarious, with no gimmicks - and it just kept going. My goodness guys. Seriously, it's great to watch something entertaining on KZread, especially automotive KZread, laugh my ass off, and still feel like an adult afterwards.

I drive a PT Cruiser that was given to me by a relative, and I must say, after I put in some time driving it, tearing it apart, repairing it, and once starting it with an allen key instead of the car key, I have developed a real fondness for it. It can be a pain in the butt to only be able to open the window by taking the switch module out of the dash and pushing on the back of it while pressing down the switch, but it's quircky like me and I love it.

The horn should have been called 'Hornda type R' 😂

I hated those until one day a customer brought his PT Cruiser in for some tires. I got in, realized it was manual, realized it had a BOV and turbo, he said you'll be suprised this thing rips. We go for a quick pull and I'm blown away how hard this thing ripped. The PT is a "I'd hate to love it" kind of car.

I remember Gran Turismo 3 back in the day. Loved messing with the tuning to eek out a bit over 400 horsepower out of a PT Cruiser. Those were the days.

The dashcam - I didn't buy a crappy cheap one like that (mine was about £140), but it was one of the best purchases I've made and have been using it for almost 2 years without issue. It gives much a better view as you don't have a whole car to look through, and it can easily see into blind spots with it's wide angle lens. Recording front and back is also a blessing. At night lights are dazzling, but they are through a normal mirror anyway. If you are thinking of getting one, definetly don't cheap out on it and look to spend around £150.

@DashCamSheffield

Жыл бұрын

there's pros and cons for that design. wider rear mirror is good for visibility, I was able to see through the rear passenger door. That particular one was a right hand camera, but most are left hand camera, meaning it wasn't always a good position, favouring more of the left of the windscreen view. The size also counted against it, as they were often hit by the visor, but may be ok on larger vehicles. I personally would avoid rear view mirror dash cams, but I wouldn't write them off

For the vents, you should have used a heat gun to soften them and make them fit better... like it really mattered 😁

For a start, fit the all of the vents properly, if you can get rid of the heat building up under the bonnet the engine temperature *should* stabilize. Good luck with making a Subaru Supercar fast.

It is hard to choose a worst/most embarrassing mod but the exhaust whistle takes the gold for me. It also brings me joy that the UK was blessed with the gift of the PT Loser. It is the pinnacle of American engineering and design. Nothing we can do will ever live up to it.

The fact that you spent more money on a PT Cruiser than I spent on my daily speaks volumes about the PT Cruiser.

Another episode of OG Top Gear

There are 2 pt cruisers near me that are i think owned by same people which have the same wing but with flame paint many stickers and white wall tyres they look amazingly hilarious props to them tho on the efforts they put into them

Put four spare tires on it and drive it around a track. I'm not sure if you could do any science with that setup, but it'd make for a darn good video :D

Add a short shift kit and a eBay universal turbo kit. Race it against the track Subaru wagon.

The PT Cruiser in 2000 was an absolute game changer back when it was released in 2000. It was a car that was really really hard to get ahold of and dealers were marking the prices up because of the high demand. Over time people though realized it was not much more than a Neon in a different wrapper.

My first car was a bright yellow PT-Cruiser, it took thrice as much time to have heat during winter and once the coolant was spilling over and my car thus overheated and I had no visibility, I had to push the car alone during the night. My front-right wheel almost came off while I was driving at 90km/h on a tight country road. There was also an oil leak and eventually my mother borrowed it and gave that PT Cruiser the coup de grâce, at the end I couldn't turn the engine on without having my ears destroyed. I had it for half a year and did alot of maintenance on it.
