Spikey's LeBaron Convertible

---

Here's Spikey's 1991 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible.


I added these buttons to make it easier to find the HowTo's on my page.

Here Are the Stock Specs: 3.0L V6 (141Hp) Automatic trans. Power driver's seat Power door locks Power windows Power steering/braking Steering wheel tilt Cruise Control Air Conditioning AM/FM Tape Airbag Pete, the flying chicken Detailed Specs Performance Mods I Want To Do: Lighter, Smaller Crankshaft Pulley Cold Air Intake Setup Open Up the Exhaust

Added Trip Computer Added Better Instrument Panel New Suspension: - KYB GR-2 Struts [front], - KYB Gas-a-just Shocks [rear], - Eibach Springs [all around] New Alarm System - Remote Start - 2-Stage Shock Sensor - 2-Stage Proximity Sensor 52mm Throttle Body - K&N Open Element Filter Rally Profile Driving Lights

Misc. Engine / Car Repairs I (myself) Have Done:

New plugs, wires, cap, and rotor (see above) Drain, flush, and refill the radiator (long life, orange stuff) Replace the drivers side ¼ window Repaired the headlamp motor (several times!) Swap for a Better Instrument Panel with Tach! Rotate the tires (when they need it) Replaced the tranny mount Replaced the valve cover gaskets Replaced some rubber fuel lines that were very dangerous! Change to clear turn signal covers Replace complete suspension (see above) Replace stock intake with 52mm TB and K&N Filter Replace broken clock spring, take a look at the old one Added Rally profile driving lights, wired them to the parking lights

I bought the car with about 81,000 miles on it (May 17, 1999). With a four speed automatic transmission, and a six cylinder, 3.0L engine, this car has quite a bit of power. I love its acceleration when compared to the old Dodge. There are all sorts of cool little features that I love about it that I didn't have with the Aries. It has a really cool safety feature that locks the doors when the car goes over 15 miles per hour. I can't get enough of the convertable top; I have quite a farmer's tan from driving around too much. I like the "gas low" bell and light, at about 1/8th of a tank the bell chimes and the little gas pump light comes on to remind me to fill up. Now that I have a tach, I can tell what RPMs my car shifts at. The interior "mood" lighting (as my sister calls it) is much different than in a hard topped car. Instead of having a dome light (that shines right on your head) there are only lights on the door ends, behind the console and two underneath the rearview mirror (they can be switched on or off, as not to disturb the driver). These are just a few of the many things I really like about the LeBaron, if you have one I hope you like yours as much as I like mine.

As you may have read on the front page, I was robbed. Some asshole(s) broke into my Aries through the passenger side window. They stole my stereo, my box, my amp, and my rollerblades, and probably more stuff that I haven't thought of.

Now on with the pictures!

Obviously the front, with the chrome grill. I really like the chrome accents all over the car.

Here is the back of the car. It was too bright the day I took this picture. I like how it looks from the back, but still have to wax it.

Here is a shot from the side, with the corner of my house. This parking spot is perfect for taking these pictures, it makes it look real professional... =-)

This is the front of the car. It doesn't have a front license plate holder like some other LeBarons do.

This is a shot from the side. I took this a day after I installed my new suspension.

This is obviously the inside, the seats are a little stained from a leaking roof (doesn't leak very much anymore). This picture is old, I need to take a new one with my dashmat... Click on the picture to see before and after(s) of the dash.

Here is the 3.0L V6 engine, nice and powerful!. Especially with the new intake I added!

This car has replaced the old "Spikey" mobile. It is much nicer, and much faster. I am pleased to report that the old broken into Dodge has been donated to a friend in need. I hope that the old Aries will live on to travel another 100,000 miles, in the care of Rachael's brother Benjamin.
