hey metro i see your car gets 67 mpg, you *******, you make me jealous, if i could get that from my pt, id be the happiest woman on the face of the planet. come modify my car for me!!! on a serious note...what is an air dam? is that the spoiler type thing you see in the front under the car? or is that something im not aware of? ive had the car checked from top to bottom, and most things ive already had fixed or replaced other than the egr system issue. if i have to live with the mpg it gets now then i will, but im not about to trade her in for something else because i am quite fond of her now and so is my husband. unfortunately with him being in the hospital i would never be able to take the rear seat out myself, i have tried to lift them and they are just weighing a ton i think. and they are leather seats. since im by myself right now removing the spare tire and jack is not an option, seeing as i dont have roadside assistance with my car insurance at the moment. the alignment is alright, but not the best, i have had it checked by a certified mechanic and he says it will need to be aligned in the couple months, because it is starting to go out of alignment at the moment. suspension is fine, rear bushings and cv joints and wheel bearings have all been replaced on the vehicle. if/when i can come up with $450 for a set of 4 new tires i will get them changed, right now the car has used tires on it. ive already replaced a headlight bulb by myself (yay for me!), which was a complete pain in my @ss. since the chrysler dealer here wanted to charge me $35 to replace a build i had just replaced, they told me that the headlight was not adjustable, so i took it somewhere else to get the headlight adjusted and i didnt get charged anything, i just didnt have the torque wrench to do it with. the chrysler dealer here is full of nothing but obvious idiots. ive looked on youtube about most of the stuff that people have mentioned in this thread and most of it seems like im gonna be dishing out quite a bit of dough to get this stuff done. i wouldnt mind the cosmetic changes, if i knew i wouldnt feel like an idiot rolling down the street in a car that looked like a boat for the most part, no offense to those of you who have modified your cars to that extent. my car is a land yacht, i want to change that, but not in the extreme way that ive seen that some of you have done to yours. i want to get the best mpg possible for my money, if that means drastic mechanical changes and taking out the rear seats, etc, then i will do just that, but i cant and wont do any cosmetic changes to the vehicle without some VERY serious consideration for my image and reputation where i work at. yes this is about getting the best mpg possible while protecting my image and reputation at work, if i roll down the street with a client in my car that looks like a boat, things will not go very well for me. so i need to make sure i dont go to that extent.
