What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 
I did a lot!

1) I read that the headlight adjustment bolt can break free of the headlight assembly, and there is an easy fix. I applied the fix and I'm now good to go. :)

2) I installed seat covers.

3) I removed my fan shroud.

4) I used gasket sealant to glue a HID bulb into the headlight housing since the retainer clip is missing. :(

5) I realized that I have to remove the exhaust, to remove the starter, to install the Miller flywheel lock, to remove the crank pulley. :) Hopefully tomorrow I'll have an update of me installing something.

That's what I did today. :)

I didn't have the chance to do anything on my crossfire today, I was too busy reading all the new threads you started! :p

Would have liked to finish off what I started on the car but the spring compressor has not arrived yet, so I am at a stand still untill it arrives :(

I drove it hard and put it away wet.

Sorry for all the posts, but I believe each was legitimate and not an exercise in post-whoring. :)

Hopefully this thread will help get more of you to do the same.

I took off the Californian cover,opened the garage door, saw the shadow of the Crossfire, put the cover back on and closed the garage door,"6 more weeks of winter" :(

I touched up some small stone chips and gave her a good plish and wax. Then I went for a little drive with the roof down :cool:

Underhood detail, thorough 2-bucket wash (including wheel interiors and wheel wells), claybar, polish and wax and tire dressing.

I even polished the aluminum on my CAI!

6 hours and I'm ready for a "North Isles Libation".

Goodness, it sure feels good to have a really clean car, 'eh?:D

Oh, yeah-I put a "Eurocharged.com" sticker on the wind deflector too! Least I could do.

I put the claybar to coupe and put on a nice coat of wax yesterday. Today: admired the shine!

I spent a couple hours removing oxidation from the SC and manifold. I gave it a bath too.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 
I looked at mine wondering how the heck I was able to drive it last week while staring at snow and slush from our last storm:mad:

Oh, also took the top part of a 300M nose that I was hoping to fab into a rear window spoiler ....total no-go mod.

looked at mine and walked back inside:(

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 
We did the Spring clean and scalp of the yard. Got cleaned up and took the Crossfire to get something to eat. When we came out, the Crossfire was covered in small water spots!!!:mad:
I thought "what kind of a jerk would just walk by and splash water on my clean baby?" Then as we were pulling out, we saw the culprit, a grackel was taking a bath in the little puddle in the grassy area of the parking lot.:rolleyes: We both had a good laugh. Now to go and get rid of the spots off the Crossfire.

What color combo did you decide to go with?

Lakeview NY 04-03-2011 11:07 AM

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 
I still have to talk to them about color, but thinking about candy cooper with carbonfiber hood with lines on hood cooper. And also recieved sponsorship paint from dupli-color this week. The rims and rest of silver will be done in gun metal. Also talked to borla this week should be getting catback. They told me I will here from them in few weeks.

Was also thinking about grabber blue with stripes

Funny that this post came back. I drove to Ft. Myers last night for my mothers 82 Birthday. I took my buffer and .......yes I lightly buffed her out,,,,,,sweet looking when she is clean and has a fresh coat of wax on her. After 60k though and as much as I clean and wax her, she is showing her daily driving age. Kinda like me I guess.:cool:




and yes I did moms silver Imala. She was happy.....

Thats no way to treat an 82 year old lady, thankfully you did not use a clay bar.:p

Dave, that depends. You would have to ask the 82 year old lady. Don't you agree?:p

I could have pointed out that I live with a 52 year old lady that enjoys nothing better than a good "light buffing".

But I won't go there...

Well, I'm too cheap to pay $300 for a used one, so I decided to build my own gauge pod for under $100. I'm 60% done with the pod and I'll probably complete it tomorrow.

Here are some photos of the progression over the last 6 hours.
