GOOD ADVICE! and thanks for the photo . . . Our Crossfires are aging and this type of attention is definitely needed!

Wolf359loki,

Sent you a PM. Do like your exhaust system. Curious to know who the manufacturer is. Part#s? As you modded your car, did you ever baseline it to the various changes you made as you went along. That would be ideal to see which mod gave you bang for the buck. If you did , could you share this here? Oh, full of questions so bear with me ��. Further on your exhaust, did you stay with stock manifolds, catless? Lastly, any drone on this system at any speed?



Thanks in advance!
Regards,

We've added another SRT6 roadster to our "fleet". The OCD (Obsessive Crossfire Disorder) continues!

The Fuel Line on my SRT6 looks like that. I am actively trying to find a replacement. Didn't see any on eBay or otherwise. I really need to run up to the ole Mercedes Dealership to have them order me one. Too many SRT6 owners insist on parting the entire engine as a whole. Didn't have the same Part # as the NA.

Hahahaha Gary! Nice new one Bob! I think I saw that one for sale near your place and thought it was yours for sale at first. Can't go wrong with TWO black SRT6 Roadsters.

How did it go? What all did Mr. Cichon fix you up with this time? And is it at all a possibility he will make a brief appearance?

How did it go ? It's not Saturday yet, I'll let you know.
Only goodies he has that were promised to me are the salt & pepper shakers.
No possibility of a brief appearance he said.

I was doing some work on my interior last night in the garage and left my overhead interior lights on overnight. 😡. Wondering if I should put a charger on the battery or just try to start it and drive it around some?

I believe it is like we use in the states, usually grey? I believe if you like to run toll booths, that makes the license # unreadable to the photo cameras. Just a guess one hundred 80?
