Checked tire pressure, all within a pound of each other. Flipped the dome light switch to the auto-on/off position. Simple, routine stuff. Sometimes, that's all these cars need.

Technically it was yesterday, but it took a while to edit the pictures!
I did the door reinforcement procedure originally posted on this site by MAGNATUDE. Here's a few pics from the post I did on facebook as Giovanni Pace.
I'll be posting the entire process on a later date on - MY journey with "Svengoolie" page in the "Crossfire Roadster" section.

I check the tire pressures on all my cars every 45 days.

I replaced my Halogen bulbs with LEDs.

I removed the water spots from my rear window on my roadster. I tried to use a hard water spot remover, I've tried this before on the other windows, it still doesn't work.
I used Griot's Garage Complete polishing compound. Don't use a lot of pressure when polishing the rear window. The glass could fall in or break. Pack pillows blankets, etc.. under the glass to help support it.
Here are some pics from my facebook post:

Added the Becker MB Bluetooth Adapter to my factory Nav stereo - Spotify streaming unlocked! The phone integration works pretty well too!

Upgraded to a JVC Bluetooth Radio. Sounds a bit better, too



2004 Infinity worked fine, but now looking for a new home. Pay the shipping and it’s yours free.

Recently bought Lasfit bulbs and a couple days ago I installed one in the drivers side of our limited. I wanted to drive it at night to compare and was very happy with the new bulb. Today I installed the other new bulb in the passenger side. The spring clips always give me trouble when I change a bulb and today I had an idea. I took an old medium sized flat blade screwdriver and cut a slot in the blade with a die grinder. Worked great to unclip and reinstall the spring

Plugged in the BlueDriver doggle on the OBD port of my 2007 Crossfire Coupe. Checked for any DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) & found none. Must be doing something right!

This code reader is really neat. Keep the doggle in the console & the APP is loaded on my cell phone & tablet. I've always got it with me wherever I take the Crossfire .

I made a tool for the little position light in the corner above the headlight. I used a spare front caliper silencer.
If you have 2 of them it is better to make one for each side because the angle of attack is different for each one. The driver side is easier than the passenger side (North American cars). I didn't feel like making a second tool at the time. I ended up using long needle nosed pliers moving the light socket a tiny bit at a time.

.


Although I do not remember exactly the size, somewhere in the document collection there is (or maybe it was a post), a pdf that suggested a certain size of an open end/box end wrench that fits in there to both break the seal upon removal & seat the loose socket securely.

I use a long forceps. It holds it tightly to pull it out and put it in.

This was my first time replacing these. I thought it was cool to make a tool out of something laying around that worked.

A really good idea is to use ppf after, when buffing your headlights, as you remove the original protection. My headlights have gone into Emtuning to have new LED projectors all 4 and halos to all four plus and bloody good buffing and protection. Also getting the outer projectors etched with Srt6. Really looking forward to some up to date lighting . Will post day and night pics when there back and fitted.

Today I sewed on a steering wheel cover. It took a while but it was worth it!
