What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Got with Chris, had to buy a shift kit and tcm but I got him to sell me his last brace lol.
In other updates, changed supercharger oil, engine cowl due to some broken plastic and a messed up washer nozzle as well as some trim it was missing, also finished a big 3 upgrade for the charging system.
Finally got the car back together and it drives completely differently!

Installed a touch screen so I can run Car Play like a modern car. It has an option to connect using FM radio and that's what turned out to work best. Much better sound! For the first time I heard and felt sound from the subwoofers. Navigation and music are just a touch away now. I used the window mount to locate the 9 inch screen directly over the center vents. My view is unobstructed and since I use Car Play is our Malibu I can operate the system with a minimum of distraction.
Found it on Amazon, link is below.

when you have a moment, please upload a few images post installation. What did you need to modify to get it to work, how did you attach it. Are there external cables? If yes, how are ther concealed. This could be a good solution for many wanting 2023 Audio, sat and video accessibility

For my use I had a TPMS USB dongle for TPMS info, Bluetooth OBD2 for engine/tcm parameter tracking and MPG tracking
Got it on AliExpress for $350 and during the swap also switched to a JLAudio Rd400/r Amp.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
I still think that to date our solution to the DD head units is the best. Although I would like the unit above the heat/cool outlets. But It would would require a new dash pad to add a third hump to, either built into the pad or a separate piece that matches the pad finish. Too much work for me, a little side project for you though. 😉
No big projects planned. for awhile. I like my DD But really think that this is a great off the shelf solution
looks great.
I Plan to repaint a few items in spring but that’s it.
i really just want to take a break from projects and drive the car.
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Filled it from nearly empty with BP Premium with added STA-BIL fuel stabilizer and took it for a drive and realized it rolled over 90,000 miles this afternoon.
I have driven it a total of 38,537 miles since I bought it on March 15, 2018

Ozarks event 2023 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
I don’t know what others think but we have thousands of Crossfire pictures on here which are all described as beautiful. My car looks like any other Aero Blue SRT, nothing would make it stick out in a parking lot of a thousand of them.
What is good about pics from Valk is the settings, it could be Joe Bloes car but it is the background that makes the photo.
We have had some great shots of the cars on here but it is the background that makes the car look good.
For the best photos look at the German Crossfire calendar, amazing and professional looking shots.
People often ignore the fact that a telephone pole or tree appears to be the sitting in the drivers seat, mistakes like that are not making the car look beautiful or even worth putting on the forum.

Swapped TCM with a tuned one from @latemodel21 also got a Supercharger brace & Paddleshift kit as well. Will likely install the paddleshift kit and brace after Thanksgiving. Waiting on a new pulley from Poland to arrive.

I have always had that attention to detail for the most part with my pics

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Yesterday I picked up my wheels that I had repaired and refinished.
I just bought my roadster in April and the curb rash and scratches made the wheels look terrible.
USA Wheels did a great job! The wheels were repaired, repainted, tires remounted and balanced.
They still need a quick clean to remove a little bit of tire mounting lube around the edges, but what a difference!

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Yesterday was the wheels, today I replaced the antenna gasket on my roadster.
It took a while but it wasn't that hard of a job. The hardest part was rigging up something to hold the deck and top up so I could get at the retainer nut.
I used a 7/8 wrench to remove it. Here's some pics, including one with the part number for the antenna assembly.
Rig for top and deck lid. Hey, it worked! LOL
The old gasket fell apart as I was removing it.

New gasket
New gasket and remounted antenna.
