Well, I'm back! (15 years later!)
Still have my six-speed 2004 - now 49,000kms...I had it 'mothballed' for almost 13 years...life was just too busy to do the car justice...The original battery still fired it up until this spring...regularly maintained...Now, I'm wondering what I should be doing to properly 'prep' it for the road again...probably a coolant flush, oil and filter...any other suggestions?
I was thinking of selling it some years back...but, reconsidered that, since there's NOTHING on the road like it! It really gets the looks and it's 15 years young!
The cedar interior is like new...engine bay is immaculate...new rear tires, rims were redone - as noted in my 2013 'last' post!! Air works just fine.
It gets a little warm when idling for more than 15 minutes...electric fan comes on ok...but the temperature gauge looks a bit high...perhaps a stuck thermostat? It doesn't overheat to the point where it boils, though...
Cheers, and hoping to connect with other Etobicoke X-Fire owners...
