Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Last week I installed a Pioneer 4300 HU in about an hour. Very easy once I figured out how to take out the original.
Yesterday I changed my cabin air and put in a new carbon filter. about 20 min. Nice to be small but hard when your 66. Now its on to CAA.

Yesterday, I rode her hard and put it away wet.
Literally. Mixed rain and sun for 100 out of 400 miles. Went to watch an AutoX event in B'ham (2 SRT's entered, 2 Red Roadster Limiteds spectators) and had lunch with #1 daughter. Took the long/scenic route home. Considering a full buff and then wax after washing, or the sissy way out: wash and Instant Kwik Detailer?
Met 2 of 3 xFire owners.

Bought a new cabin filter. If anyone needs one, I would recommend this ebay seller. Although it is not listed as such, it is a premium, activated charcoal Bosch filter.
I have seen these pretty high, $25 shipped is a great price, and the turn around was only a few days...

A while back I had a stainless manifold bolt seize in my supercharger. I tried to get crafty removing it and ended up breaking it off.
I drove over to Steve's and even he was unable to remove it without likely breaking an easy-out off into it and making things worse.
Well, today (actually a couple days ago) I finally got off my a$$ and decided to fix it.
I went out and bought a tap-and-die set but was unable to find a long enough drill bit to drill through the manifold into the supercharger. I did some head scratching and came up with an alternative.
I used the manifold gasket to transfer the bolt locations onto a metal template. After drilling the holes into the metal, I had to improvise a bit (stacks of washers) to secure the template in place on the supercharger. After securing the template I drilled out the hole with a 7/32" bit and taped it to a 1/4" FT. Hopefully I'll find a new bolt without too much aggrevation.

UPDATE: I installed a heli-coil and I'm now using the stock bolt.

Got a tune from Eurocharged. When I purchased the tune in March, Clint could not get the computers to cooperate so I could either mail my ECU in or go to a tune day or go to Chicago. I swung by Eurocharged in Chicago and within 20 minutes Jake had me taken care of. Cannot ask for a better group to support our cars!

I originally painted the NW intake with plasti-dip paint, but I found out the intake gets too hot for the paint to maintain it's texture. As a result I repainted the intake with flat black standard paint. Here are the results.

For the first time every, I used a clay bar on the XF. :)
I've never used a clay bar before, but today I broke down and gave it a shot. I'm glad I did. Afterwards I waxed her up good for a spanking, I mean photo-op.
