Default Re: M113K Into a Crossfire - Journal

Small update. The car has been pressed into a daily driving role for me for a little bit. Our other Crossfire was involved in a *ahem* small off-road excursion, and now needs some body work. That means my daily driver SRT-4 is now being driven by the offending Crossfire pilot, until we figure out what to do about repairs/replacement.

The car drives well, but it always seems eager to show everyone its tail lights. Not sure this is a safe daily driver

Ordered a set of Continental Extreme Contact Sports, with stock front size, and 285/30/19 in the rear. Should solve at least some of the grip issues with that extra 30mm, and no doubt stickier compound. These will wait until a set of SE wheels are acquired, or more likely a set of SRT-6 wheels are refinished. Currently have three sets of 'extra' SRT-6 wheels sitting in the shop, so just need to send some out for refinishing.

During our TotD trip, the oil level light came on. Despite the level being perfectly in the middle on the dipstick, the light was on, and stayed on. Lately it has been coming and going. Last night I added a little oil, to bring it to the very top of the range on the dipstick. Light went out and has stayed out after 50 miles of driving so far today. So, maybe the sensor isn't broken. That's also a bit worrying as to the accuracy of the dipstick. There is an adjustment for this level for the sensor within SDS, so that may need to be looked at. The oil in the engine will be changed at 3k miles, which should arrive in the next 2-3 weeks. More careful notes of the amounts going into the engine will also be made, and then we'll see what the story is with the settings in SDS.
