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!

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 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
