    Really cool to see this thing coming together so nicely! Also, the PTsnoozer feels like an absolute fever dream at this point… I always forget you own it, and whenever it pops up on camera, my internal monologue goes, “aaaahhhh.”

    Great job, Jake. That is a significant improvement indeed. I love that you are able to upgrade and keep an old car on the road where it belongs. Well done indeed. I haven't seen one of these on the road in a long time. Unfortunately Honda was not very good at corrosion resistance back then, so our wonderful weather condemned most, if not all, of them to an early death. Keep up the good work.

      The chassis on these are entirely aluminum; there's very little to rust on them

  • @rhiantaylor3446
    @rhiantaylor3446 Год назад

    Great progress and a usable car once again....however, I would be looking now to lose the sub in the back and find a way to add 20 Nissan Leaf cell packs tied across cell for cell to your existing battery. Moving from rather less than 1kwh to about 11 kwh of battery would start to give JR's Chevy Volt a run for its money, cruising on little more than the 13 hp electric motor !

  • @dosmastrify
    @dosmastrify 9 месяцев назад

    Say for me the big deal is that pack of more electricity going to the motor . It's great that you got a new and reliable battery but those Motors are overbuilt for the amount of current that Honda sent them

    I have two insights, but swapping one of them with litium for $2400 is way to expensive for me. I bought the car 15 years ago to save on gas which i still do today may be one day if i hit the lottery will do swap. Till then happy and safe driving. Love your videos keep up the good work.

    One of the ugliest cars ever made, I remember when these were new and thinking who the hell would buy one of these. Up there next to the Prius and aztek in ugliest cars ever made. But hey it's not my car so nobody cares what my opinion is. A guy my best buddy worked for has one of these same color among some other weird ass cars and they could have made these so much cooler looking. Honda made some damn good looking cars so seeing them make this was strange.

    Very cool man. Oddly, I really dig this project, despite my distaste of hybrids or electric cars. It's just cool to hack stuff and make what you've got better! I am still today, as I was day one, really triggered by the drivers door of this car....
    Love the exhaust note of your PT, it sounds really beefy and reminds me of the straight pipe 2006 Mazdaspeed6 I had back in 06-11. If that thing were the neon, I'd be banging on your front door to try and buy it for a project driver, but I just can't see myself in a stock PT cruiser, much less one with all the body mods yours has, unfortunately.
    Odd site note... think I have the exact same laptop you just showed with the jump box. Elitebook 1030g2, I think. Had this model as my work machine for 3 years, liked the hardware but absolutely hated our win10 image... so bought one for dirt off ebay and it's been a super solid machine for a couple years now. Spent the last 8 months running linux on it because I'm tired of windows. Ubuntu 20.04lts, which works really well for the most part, sans some of the touchpad gestures and no fingerprint reader.... booo.
