sounds way too professional for my liking

 

Wow! Nice touch.

 

Lookin good there ! !
how do you like those handle covers ? the plastic ones i had were a bit sharp on the inside edges, it bugged me so i went with the stainless steel door handle bowls instead.

CHROMETEC. High Quality Tuning für Mercedes-Benz

 

The plastic edge is a bit sharp but they are the only ones who make them. I got used to it but it does make them feel cheap.

 

The edges do seem a little sharp, we'll see if I can get used to it.

 

Had to replace top post lead to battery as screw threads were worn out; found primary negative cable with some corrosion. Cleaned it off and mounted new lead and it looks cleaner, nicer and probably works better too. Small job but rewarding. Next up ordering chrome door handles thanks to maggy55...and doing the oil can thingy.

 

Replaced the cabin air filter. The old one was clogged full of leaves and dirt. Not sure how/why. Car smells better though. Lol. Also replaced my brake pedal switch which got rid of my ESP light and gave me brake lights again.

 

You will need to remove the wiper arms and the plastic cowl.
You will find tons of leaves and debris underneath clogging the 4 drains.
Use a coat hanger to GENTLY clear the drains ( don't knock off the rubber tubes underneath )
Eventually this can cause water to pour in through the fan hole and soak your amplifier and TCM,
not to mention ruining the fan motor and resistor board..

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I also did the new cup holder mod.

 

Finished putting the car back together after this years mods; painted hood and bumper again, refinished wheels, made new wing emblems and wheel cap covers to match, redid cannards and front splitter, made diffusers for the rear and fixed a few trim issues inside. My first show is Saturday, so I will take some pics then and post them..

 

Looks like you have diverted the exhaust into the cabin.

 

WOW ! Can't wait to see pics

 

What about using a shop vac, would that work? Or is it too large or powerful?

 

Where can I find this cupholder? I've just located plastic looking ones and this looks a little nicer from the photos. I suspect it's still plastic but it looks good.

 

I got mine from that absolutely fabulous boutique, Dollar General.

 

I just replaced all four Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 tires after 16,400 miles. The back tires were down to the wear bars and were pretty evenly worn. The front tires still had a good amount of tread on them, but I replaced them anyway. The new tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3. I also had my OEM wheels refurbished and they look great.

 

I've had my crossfire coupe a couple months and already had the passenger side floorboard flooded by this issue. Changed cabin filter and followed the above directions to clean out the drains. Shop vac will help but you still need to rod out the debris below the plug/hole level. I poured water through and made sure it drains out the bottom of the fender to make sure it isn't backing up. I will vac it out often and test with a gallon of water.
I just resoldered the RCM and wish I had done it sooner, was stranded after the car died suddenly on the road. Two cel warnings pointing to the AIR system and I waited as I didn't come back on for a while. Live and learn! She's driving good again now. Just ordered the Eurotune May special! That's next.

 

I did the sticky key fix, installed a new Kenwood stereo, checked the RCM solder and cleaned under the cowl today. Yesterday I picked it up after a Auto glass installer rebonded my back glass after it fell out. I been through a fair amount since getting it a week ago.

 

Sounds like you've been busy, all at once too. Time to drive her now.

 

Installed Sprint Booster today and loving it. Feels like a whole new car, more like a go cart. Looking forward to doing the 74mm TB and MA, CAI and tune during the summer.
