What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Today I did James1549's ground fix and ran another ground wire from the battery to the bell housing.
I also replaced the rear shocks. The front shocks should be here tomorrow.
I routed the new ground wire behind the heat shield and used a protective covering on it.
After putting on the grommet I compressed the shock and used the shipping strap to hold it. Once I bolted it in I cut the strap and guided the shock into place.

I saw these on Amazon late last week & saved the link to my XFire List. There were 2 sets available: clear & smoke. They look good on your car!

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Hi All,
This weekend just past, I enjoyed some time on the car and:
Installed a fresh set of bucket seats (textile this time rather than synthetic leather so warmer and less slide action)
Installed a RaceChip XLR5 Throttle Response module
Installed an ebay purchased used stainless backbox delete section that I secured a few months ago (Needs a pro exhaust shop to cut/twist/seal etc)
Auto-Style Universal Bucket Seats with TRS Harnesses
Stainless backbox delete section
RaceChip XLR5

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Installed a backup camera, and hardwired in a Dashcam & Radar.
Also cleaned up the sub wiring and actually ran a remote wire, since the power-on by signal to the sub was staying on for longer than I'd like after the car was off.
Will work on wiring later. Install after Backup camera was a PITA.
wiring up through the window and loom then back down to the tail light was such a pain. Should have just used the one that goes above the license plate, but this one also does a lot better at night because of the light.

I'm waiting on a tenant to move out and i think they may have scratched up my paint on my black SRT.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Today was a good day. I've been looking for Heat shield fasteners for my car, I'm trying to keep it as original as possible. So on a whim I drove down to the local Mercedes dealer, I've found other things I was looking for a few times before, they had them in stock!
Not only that, but the parts guy was cool and likes old cars. He gave me a great discount! Just look at the price of these fasteners and what I ended up paying for them!
