26706, Ohh Wiki, How I Hate Thee...
Posted by freelancefool, Aug-19-07 04:06 PM
Why did I have to say that I would eventually document everything for the ATX to MTX swap? I've finally gotten around to starting it. All I can say is that there is a lot of stuff to type and this sucks trying to make it nice so that all the part numbers pull info from CAPS.

It's probably still going to take me a week or so plugging away at this for a couple hours at a time. I thought this would throw this out there so that I can get some input as I am typing up everything.

Enjoy! Don't forget to tell me how bad it is. Also, I just started on it today so there still isn't a whole lot of content there.

Looking good so far. Props for tackling something that takes so much effort to compile.

Nice layout so far :thumbsup

Don't give up! Once you are done, it will become a great asset to many ATX members who one day want to swap a MTX into their car.

Also, is there any info on updating the CAPS database? It seems that I am running into a small problem with a lack of descriptions and part numbers for various parts. I'm not sure if this is something I can change nor do I know how. Thanks.

This community greatly appreciates the level of effort you are putting into this. If I would have wrote an atx to mtx swap.. it would have simply stated. "sell your atx, and look for a nice clean mtx for sale" =)

Every section listed on the pnc lookup page should be there.

Are they different for Talons? Because I went to a Dodge/Chrysler dealership a little while back for a few things and the PNC's I brought in didn't match the ones on their computer.

Yeah, because a Dodge dealer wouldn't use CAPS. CAPS is a Mitsu product.

I guess it isn't the CAPS database, but stuff like this:

http://www.2gnt.com/pnc.php?op=display&pnc=20400A

Where it returns no info.
