You need window tint, windshield banner, rear window louvers, some deep dish rims, canards, carbon hood wrap, custom head lights, tinted taillights, coilovers, fender flares and come spacers and it may actually be pretty sick in the end. Great job guys!
To be honest, I'd be more excited to see a sh*tbox with the amount of work you guys put into it than a seven-figure hypercar that someone probably drives twice a year.
The Koenigsegg, I figure, you give it an admiring look over and that's all you get out of it. Whereas the PT Cruiser is a bottomless well of bad decisions and funny stories. I know which I'd prefer.
It's all good. Last time I did that got swarf in my eye and ended up in the royal Melbourne eye and ear hopital. The most beatiful girl walked in and said'hello. My name is doctor lickme' Totally worth it
@@adamdixon2251 last time I did it they put dye in my eye, and old bloke with the shakes dug the metal out of my eye with a hypodermic needle, and I had a ring of rust in my iris for about 5 weeks lol Goggles = good 😂
I never imagined anyone could make a PT Cruiser look cool. Love it when I'm right!!! 🤣 Great channel fellas - excellent content. Keep up the good work.
honestly when I heard German instructions I thought he's gonna butcher them but it was better than I thought. In Germany we would say "nicht schlecht" or not bad which is one of the highest praises a german can give you
Shit mate that's brilliant- Can't wait to see what you'll do next! The fact that someone engineered lambo doors for a PT Cruiser is astonishing to me. Someone spent hundreds of hours of their life designing and engineering that.
Honestly, There's something Hilarious about a Hideous Car Being Overtuned and Outfitted with Ridiculous Stuff. Yes, you want to hate the Darn Thing, but it's so silly, you can't help but be entertained! Keep up the Great Work!
That sad feeling that the next video is a week away. ❤ Thank you! (The German was fun to hear, it got even more funny when you tried to sound French while pronouncing it…. 😂😅)
This channel gives me this vibe... I don't know what it is but it is the same thing I used to get while I watched TopGear many years ago. Keep it up guys! Enjoying every video! 😀
It's simpler to pull the fenders off and put the hinges on then adjust the hinge strength after you stretch the wires in the door then put the fenders back on
I did once consider getting scissor kits for the doors on my mustang, but it was mainly for convenience. The long coupe doors can make getting out a pain in the ass if the parking is tight.
I had full use of a PT before they were out . I likes it , but engine repairs were not so easy . Only issue I had with it . and when it got a turbo that helped performance .
"internet's most hated car" that's an extreme overstatement when Stancypants' baby blue rx8 still exists... in fact your PT gets love from the community due to how shit it is, it became "the room" of the automotive world.
For anyone wondering what a Cable Tree is, the instructions properbly said Kabelbaum wich could be translated as cable tree but should be translated as wiring harness.
Fun Fact: The Chrysler PT Cruiser and Chevy HHR are both designed by the same person, Brian Nesbitt. Nesbitt later went on to design the Chevrolet HHR. The PT Cruiser's design was loosely inspired by the Chrysler Pronto Cruizer concept car, while recalling the Chrysler and Desoto Airflow.
10:14 "Wtf is a cable tree" Yes German is a very descriptive language. The wiring loom kinda looks like a tree and made out of cables, so it's a Kabelbaum, or in english cable tree :)
2:50 - CarVertical - YOU KNOW that 3 Series will come up with a bit of Gaffa and a bit of 'Buffing out' when even the Chassis no IS BENT! (see last pic) 😮😮😮 😎🇬🇧
Use a small lady's slipper tool to help push/pull the plastic tabs on electrical connectors. Mush easier than digging into your finger or thumb if they are stuck etc
It’s insane how similar these guys are to top gear with some differences of course but still Scott and Clarckson - hates manual labor fastest driver Callum and Hammond - crashes a lot and second fasted drivers Will and May - slowest and best car mechanic
Trying to do at least a half decent job makes this build great. It’s all about fun and still … Too many just straight ruin a car for some clicks. This channel is different
Similarly to what one of the guys said at the meet, I shouldn't like this car, I have no idea why I do but I think it's great. Maybe because it's just different and anyone can do it. Messing about with cars when I was young was fairly or relatively cheap and just fun. Young people today seem obsessed with what's expensive or what "flex" they can get out of their budget. Less snobbery, having fun with cars and having something unique needs to be more popular.
You know what, a car worked on by its actual owner(s) is significantly cooler than one just bought off the shelf. I still hate it but I appreciate the work done.
Funny you guys called it a PTR, In computer jargain that means pointer. And that got me thinking about how much this car looks like a mouse. You should split the hood down the middle so you can right click.

you almost made a Pt Luiser, cool
Almost
thats quite a feat!

Agree but I’d still rather the shitbox wasn’t a pt cruiser
agree

@@MSpacer Precisely, couldn't have summed my thoughts up any better.
Ideas:
Cheapest air ride suspension
Cheapest negative camber job
Cheapest Nitrous
Homebrew flames tune (anti lag?)
Homemade exhaust
Lowered suspension will actually fit this PT, with negative camber and enlarged castor, ofc.
Cheapest nitrous would be scary
@@juliantaffa4089 it turns the car from internal combustion to external combustion
Oh please the nitrous guys!
And get some wide wheels and fender flares
Mad respect for Richard, putting up with the two knobs! Great video guys.
google "pikes peak escudont" and enjoy. another group who took a PT Cruiser way too seriously, it's fantastically horrible!
@@ghomerhust I don't think that's a PT cruiser. Is it?
@@ghomerhust
1. You wrote the name wrong.
2. It's not a PT Cruiser. It's a Suzuki Escudo.
At first, i was worried about the half a ton door mechanisms, but then i saw the diffuser and splitter. Time attack performance is saved.
easily one of my favorite car channels right now, keep it up dudes!
Them and Mat Armstrong
agreed. reminds me of what I like about other car shows with 3 people in them. Just 3 friends goofing around and having fun with stuff.
as a german, him reading the manual in german made me laugh too hard. But he gets a.. C+ for effort!
Richard war aber auch zu geil
Haha

the pt cruiser will be faster than an f1 car in a year at this rate.
It’ll already beat a Mclaren LOL
@@alexroberton8685 Next target SF1000 and Williams from 2019
@@Primus_075 2021 haas should be in the list
F1 as in Fiat100? Then probably yeah.
It might be a year away from being faster than an F1 car, but it's already more interesting.
I hate to admit it, but that car, at 15:50, looks rather good. The splitter makes the front look substantially better I would say.
it really truly does kinda own it's own look.
I feel like you guys should get some agressive LED headlamps for the PT cruiser to give it the complete supercar look
pro tip for callum - don't drill metal at eye level without wearing safety glasses, trust me on that one
Yeah, can confirm it's a bad idea.

as a subaru owner with an unironically installed f1 style fog light and diffuser, this episode has me reconsidering things
You should... you really should. There's only a few things, one could do to a car, that are more cringey.
You really should... 🤣
what do you mean by "F1 fog light"? they ... don't have head lights
@@Renee_R343 I mean it's a full flat bottom and functional diffuser, so not sure why that's so cringe. are lambos and ferraris cringe now?
Do what you want with your car. It's not mine or anyone else's.
The car has gone all the way round from ridiculous to cool now. Love it.
You guys are single handedly rising the market price of PT Cruisers
Now that we know that there's a PT cruiser modding scene, we definitely need more Mods!
I never imagined anyone could make a PT Cruiser look cool. Love it when I'm right!!! 🤣 Great channel fellas - excellent content. Keep up the good work.

"I dont' want to like it, but I kinda do." sums it up nicely.
7:38 Richard being a menace xD I've expected much but the second sentance just flat out killed me xD
Love from germany, love your stuff
I’m a simple man, I see an Overdrive video uploaded 17seconds ago. I watch 😂❤
Love the content guys, keep it up!
Shit mate that's brilliant- Can't wait to see what you'll do next! The fact that someone engineered lambo doors for a PT Cruiser is astonishing to me. Someone spent hundreds of hours of their life designing and engineering that.
lol maybe 10-20 never hundreds m8 🤣 not THAT complicated
Every episode makes me appreciate the banter between the three of you! Can’t wait for more
Honestly, There's something Hilarious about a Hideous Car Being Overtuned and Outfitted with Ridiculous Stuff.
Yes, you want to hate the Darn Thing, but it's so silly, you can't help but be entertained!
Keep up the Great Work!
I just want to say, I love your crazy ideas, keep it going. Maybe do an off-road Land cruiser ?.
Or just lift the pt cruiser and see how far it goes
Maybe turn it into a monster truck ?
That sad feeling that the next video is a week away. ❤ Thank you! (The German was fun to hear, it got even more funny when you tried to sound French while pronouncing it…. 😂😅)
Next episode : worlds cheapest coilovers ! PLEASE. This desperately needs to be lowered. Edit : On the thumbnail it looked sooo nice.
With a wide body kit, with a neon under glow and a negative camber!
has to be done, I hate slammed cars with loads of camber so it would suit this perfectly
I didn't realise a PT Cruiser could be any better of a car- but here it is.
Ngl that radiator at the front with the splitter, bonnet scoop and lambo doors from the front I actually kinda like it.
Richard is so important to the team!!! I actually need a Richard in my life 😭
5:03 "how can something be so small and so stiff.... said my girlfriend" I'm done 😂
Lol 😂😂😂😂
The doors actually kinda make it look good. Not much better tho, it is still a PT Cruiser afterall
This reminds me a lot of classic top gear. The pranks and the low budget builds that were flashy and funny.
The funniest thing was a proper englishman read german🤣
Completely fits the stereotype of an english bloke talking german
Can't believe OVERDRIVE and Car Throttle are in the same universe it's like Spiderman Far From Home for me 🤣🤣🤣
glad y'all got to show it off at the meetup, that was so much fun! loved the whole PT-R saga so far, can't wait for more
This channel gives me this vibe... I don't know what it is but it is the same thing I used to get while I watched TopGear many years ago. Keep it up guys! Enjoying every video! 😀
Absolute car of the meet 💪💪
Man the sound that The PT Cruiser makes is just incredible.
ideas: a wall of sound in the back of the pt cruiser
It's simpler to pull the fenders off and put the hinges on then adjust the hinge strength after you stretch the wires in the door then put the fenders back on
Love these PT vids. The PT is a joke in the states, but some people are oblivious to that fact and actually drive them.
I did once consider getting scissor kits for the doors on my mustang, but it was mainly for convenience. The long coupe doors can make getting out a pain in the ass if the parking is tight.
Underglow for the shows ? +Angel Eyes for the headlights ?

in fact your PT gets love from the community due to how shit it is, it became "the room" of the automotive world.
The PT cruiser is a canvas, for some of the best, and worst ideas imaginable, this was one of the best.
Next you gotta Aad a huge screen that would be sick
0:32 that PT cruiser mod looks slick though.
Just me who's noticed the silver Clio very clearly in shot when Scott is supposed to be covering it in post-it notes at 6:05
For anyone wondering what a Cable Tree is, the instructions properbly said Kabelbaum wich could be translated as cable tree but should be translated as wiring harness.
Budget air suspension would be a really interesting video would love to see what problems would arrive and if their solvable😁
Richard drills Callum? Is that in the X-rated edit?

It's not like I didn't already know that Richard is a legend but his german just confirmed it.
Outstanding Lads, I tip my hat to you and your ingenuity.
Will going undercover in the facebook group like he's famous 😂😂 (banter don't get upset)
The splitter rod connected to the plastic bumper is just a cherry on the cake😂👌
Loving the PT cruiser videos 😂
I hate that people now call these "lambo doors" werent they always called "butterfly doors"?
Spotted AdamC checking it out 16:03
That car sounds amazing! I like what you did with doors, I’d give you an award for most unique ride.

I ran a PT in the SCCA Time Trials Nationals last year. And also cut the spare tire carrier off with an angle grinder. :)
I was going to complement Scott on being quietly hard working 😅 But.... That Splitter 😮 Holy snot Lad! 👏 well done Callum.
the mad thing is that it actually looks kinda sick now. not beautiful like a koenigsegg but more like how an armored car looks epic y'know?
Youve chose the best car for this series 👌👌 it doesnt matter what you do to a pt cruiser, it can only get better!
"Did it crash into Halfords then?" Legend

I'm with the guys at the car meet, I'd be looking at the PT more than the supercars we all had as posters on our bedroom walls as kids.
I really enjoy your content keep up the good work guys 👍
7:37 that shit got me rolling lmao
10:14 I never realised, that cable tree is not an English term like we call it 🤣🤣 it's the main bundle of cables in the car
Great Google translation
Next time add Subwoofer. It will be nice
I love the ending. That just shows real live vs snobs on keyboards.
Plywood splitter is more common than you think. I'm gonna make one for my autoX project
