I installed a set of PosiQuiet ceramic brake pads on my fronts. Took off a set of Golds that Gary gave me off his car that had about 65k on them.
That was 2 or more years ago, and I put another 30k on them, and still weren't down to the brake sensors. The Posi-Quiets went on using Andrews tutorial, and eventho I hadn't done something like this, it was pretty straight forward. THEN I took my car out and bedded in the pads according to procedure described on Stoptec.com. The pedal, right after install, was soft and spongy, but after the bed-in procedure, it became firm and actually rasied up about 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
Color me HAPPY!!!

 

I took those Rotex Golds off my car on May 22, 2011 and gave them to you.
I don't recall how many miles they had on them while on my car but I would guess about 50,000 miles would be close.
Glad to know they went another 30,000 miles on your car.
They are a high quality pad for sure

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAHHHH! That was great.

I actually got to drive mine for the first time in over a month. Sunny, 57 degrees and all the snow is gone (except for the plow piles) thanks to this past weeks warmth. By Tuesday we will be back in the freezer so I took advantage today and drove about 65 miles. As I left the house I put the top down, as I was sitting at a stop sign to pull out on the main road I glance in my mirror as see a pretty young lady waving to me. Not sure if I know her or not I wave back and she yells "I like your car." I yell back "Thanks." and off I go. A great way to start a great drive and the car ran like a dream. By the way today is the one year anniversary of my XF purchase and so far it's been nothing but

 

Had the infamous breather cover leak. So I removed both and applied a new gasket, I'll start her up tomorrow and see if the new gasket holds tight.

72 here today top down and nice coat of wax and ordered a custom set of wheels!

I am selling factory set look on parts for sale or my profile of pic!

One more day of sunshine here and then she goes back under the covers for nap until next weekend

 

Washed all the salt and road grime. I could see my car again...

 

I put together my DCAI! What a difference in sound and power! My First Mod!

 

Got to start black and blue up today...let them run for awhile...cleaned up their step sister's engine bay (MB)....and back in storage since snow was predicted again for today.

 

gave the engine cover a makeover.....camera makes it look redder than it is..

 

Got a check engine light while on a short drive. bought a sensor and it should be here within a few days. the car seems to be running very well so im not too worried but i'll be back with the engine code sometime next week.

 

Had my windows tinted because of the Sun and heat in Phoenix. SunGard Smoke 35, on the side windows (legal limit), and Limo tint (6) on the rear hatch and quarter windows. Color me DARK.

 

Sounds like the same thing I got on mine.
You're gonna love it

 

Nice Chris, but you might think about painting the M/B star and letters to get them to stand out better!

 

Hey Gil, where dija get your "Y" pipe from?

 

I did 20% all the way around Sunday

 

Well I got my OBDII scanner in the mail today. Went to go scan for the code related to the check engine light i was getting and its no longer showing. Gonna keep it in the car so I can test it as soon as it appears again.

 

a) carved out a 18"Lx4"Hx3"D section out of the rear crossmember in my coupe, now goes back another 1/2"
b) carved the side bolsters from the bottom of the spare driver's seat I bought and added about 1/2" of foam to the center, pretty sure the front leg wedge was causing the hip pain others have reported. Feels better but may remove/soften some of the center again, is a bit too hard now.
c) Which scan tool did you buy ? I just have Torque pro on my cell phone and clip it to the CD slot.


Seat on left is after sectioning, right is stage one, mostly removal of the plastic shelf & application of a sledge hammer.

I have had mu CrossFire for less than 1 year and love.

Now I want to put new tires on this car. I live in the mountains of North Carolina and was wondering what a good replacement tire would be for front and back.

Thanks, The Silver Fox

 

Well the breather cover gasket didn't hold, got the tiniest of leaks in the corner...guess I'll be giving it a re-do this weekend.

I swear by Kumho Ecsta 4X tires. Have them on mine and my previous car, great all-season tire that won't break the bank.
