The wheels are really an attention getter! Never came across these before. Looks really good!
Go BIG or go home right!?!
Thanks, the wheels a Radi8 R8CM9 and it's 20x10 rear and 19x8.5 front. It's a UK company but it's now being sold in the USA. Had to use 15mm spacers front and 5mm rear.
Those "little black things" are canards and it's more cosmetic IMO (at least these are) and I quite like 'em 😬

They are nice, if you dont mind what sort of price please.
Cheers
Replaced drivers side motor mount on the black SRT as the one I had already replaced broke. I don't think it was tightened all the way leading to the break...Cleaned the convertible top on the SSB roadster..
Annual service, this time round, air filter (K&N), cabin filter, oil filer and oil (of course), fuel filter, MOT and swapped out 5mm rear spacers for 15mm.
Went to a 'Cars & Coffee" GTG at the Michelin HQ facility in Greenville, SC this morning. Turns out the event is held the 3rd Saturday of every month (July was an exception). Probably 250+ cars & trucks in attendance this morning. MOPAR club from area turned out in numbers - might have been 40-50 cars! We got to show early and got a prime parking spot next to a 2008 Viper in the MOPAR section. Attached are a few pics. I'll post a link to all the pics I took later today.
Most people don't appreciate, the time an effort it takes to spit shine one of these cars for a show or gathering. I don't compete , but I do have my pride. Here's to all of you that proudly modify or simply show of our cars. Kudos....
Nothing amazing today - just a full service including a new set of spark plugs and all filters etc.
I dunno how much you guys get charged across the pond, mine was done by a local (very respected independent garage) £501 GBP.
Completed the Sticky key fix while I was swapping out the instrument cluster.
For those of you who have asked but never found the answer, the instrument clusters holds the mileage (or km) from the donor vehicle. I swapped mine from the original NA, which was in KM to the replacement SRT CLUSTER in miles
No programming, it was plug and play. It's a bit of work so if your going to the trouble, then check all of the bulbs before you install it.
Tomorrow I'll be taking the car in for an AC service. I've also asked about getting the ignition cylinder replaced. For now my solution to the sticky key problem is to leave the key parked in the accessories position and using the battery kill switch the PO had installed. Of course this means carrying two keys with me.

The sticky key problem will cost you big bucks if you take it to a dealer, they'll tell you you need the whole ignition switch which runs $650, plus labor and taxes you'll be lucky to get out of the dealership with a bill less than $1,200 bucks. You can fix it yourself for free in two hours tops.
You do know what causes it right?

1) You can turn the car to the off position as long as you don't take it out of the cylinder it will be ok.

See post #1 "UPDATE" - you can do it in a couple hours or take it to a good mechanic (not the dealer) and they can do it for a couple hundred instead of $1200 at the dealer like 180 says

The dealership said $700 for the part (cut to fit existing key) and $100 for labour. That's in Canadian $, of course.
How was my weekend? (Someone WAS going to ask, right?) Well, 'poetic' would work. I had the car out all weekend and left my sister's today a little early as I was worried about rain. (I am getting too old and tired to wash the car AGAIN already.) Well, I returned the car to storage, wiped it down, put the top up, and pulled it into the bay. When I walked out, it was sprinkling. By the time I got a mile down the road on the way home, it was pouring.
