[QUOTE=lildaddym;821095]Great for you, sir! Thanks for the good wishes, too. It's been a long year...I have to schedule a heart surgery asap...have 3 90% blocked arteries... [/QUOT

Best wishes to you. I know several who have gone throught that and two of them say they feel like a new man. The other is not fully recovered just yet

.

 

Thank you, sir!

 

Great to hear you're doing fine, lildaddym.Carl

 

Just installed some Displacement notification...Carl


why is the pic on its' side??

 

Just ordered "the mistress" (3rd crossfire.. what else do you name it!) a 74mm throttle body ($52 bucks) and off to get her slasher stripes on.


That was easy..

 

Greg: I like!!..BTW, you should be thankful that Sherri is "ok" with your "mistress"...most do not approve and sanction a "third" partyLOL...Carl

 

I had a 5" screen back up color camera installed. Costco has a Yada kit for sale online or in the store. In the kit is a card linking you to a Nationwide group of shops that will install the kit for $143. It takes them about 2 hours to do a great job of it.


The camera fastens to the rear license and get power from either side backup lamp wiring. The display is connected to any 12 volt source under the dash. Bluetooth connects the two for operation when the shifter is placed in reverse. A very large suction cup will fasten the display to the windshield.


Obviously I have had very little time to get acquainted with it but I'm impressed so far. The cost will be far less than some of the rear body repairs I have seen or heard of.

 

Great deal! Where was the LCD screen placed in the vehicle? Can you post some pictures of the screen as well as the placement of the rear view camera?
Thanks!

 

Another heavy overcast December Sunday but, no snow, rain or salt around so we went for a drive. Back to winter next weekend, maybe 1-3 inches of snow Saturday. I took some pics while I had her out today.

I installed the front caliper covers just before noon today. Probably will get around to the rear set this weekend sometime.

Later,

 

You may want to rethink this. They may "LOOK" nice but heat build up due to the covers is a problem and not worth the look. Use real painted calipers or paint yours.

 

Finally got and installed a new liftgate. 180 bucks online. The liftgate ajar sensor wasn't working and it rattled like hell. Took less than an hour to install and all is well now!

Also installed a new steering damper. Feels like the car drives a bit straighter maybe, but might just be imagining it. The old one was easier to compress and had 50k miles on it.

 

Just finished installing my Crossfires Christmas bling. The wife wanted to surprise me with something for the Crossfire so she went online and started searching for Crossfire accessories. She found this "Cold Air Intake". Now my wife bless her heart knows very little when it comes to these things but, she even went out to the garage, uncovered the car and figured out how to open the hood to see if the application photo looked like my engine. I know it's not a true cold air intake but it definitely dresses up the engine compartment.

One cannot fault her for the effort...

 

Running that setup on 2 out of 3 of my cars. You did remove the OEM filters and seal off the covers correct?

 

Lifted the cover off rear of it today for a glance, nicest a$$ I've seen this week!

 

Drove the roadster over to the coast last night and then again for Pismo Beach's cars and donuts (a weekly event) with the top down.

I removed the stock filters, what part of the boxes do I need to seal off? Also, do I need to put anything over the holes were the factory plastic tubes attached on either side of the radiator to keep larger debris from entering? The kit came with two brackets, did yours come with the brackets and if so did you use them? I have everything tightened down really good and everything seems very secure. Anything else I need to know if I am going to run this setup?

You are absolutely right lildaddym, she was so excited when I opened it, that's why her and the intake are keepers. Been together for 32 years and she still can surprise me from time to time.

 

The filter housings.. where the filters would actually make the seal when you put them back together with the 4 torx screws.. you can see in the filters where they sealed - sandwiched the boxes to the cover.


If memory serves.. a 3/8 wide door sealing foam rubber works.. Like you use for the house.

 

More like Tuesday .. but hey it still counts! LOL Snowing here today so I have the day off instead of tinkering with them. Sure be glad when warmer weather gets here. Chrome windshield trims.. cubby replacements.. ceramic brakes.. interior trim kit.. got a long list.
