When I drove a series of 1960-1970 British sports cars, I had a good idea of what parts and tools to not leave home without. Like a fuel pump, and a revolver to shoot yourself in the foot before leaving the driveway (saved time).
For the Crossfire, does anyone have a list of basic tools and parts to have along?
Robert McCubbin takes everything when he goes on a trip, he's on his way to the Fall Event in Maryville TN as we speak. Here is a typical load that he brings with him.
On a more serious note, I carry: PARTS:
Belt, CPS, RCM, headlight bulb, tail light bulb, turn signal bulb, numerous spare fuses (not just the spares in the fuse box), one quart of oil, tire plug kit, air compressor.
TOOLS:
My basic kit: Bosch 1100 code reader (the CP123 series is better), nine screwdrivers (philips, flat, torx) small 1/4" metric socket set, 1/4" ratchet extensions, small External torx socket set (1/4" drive), larger external socket set (3/8" drive) ratchet for each socket set, wire strippers, wire cutters, multimeter, several long clip leads, "kitchen tool set" (has two adjustable wrenches, small vice grips, needle nose and conventional pliers, punch, file, magnifying glass), paper towels, detail towels, detail spray, 91% alcohol, insect repellant, sunscreen --- and other items I cant think of.
TOTAL waste of space when you DO NOT drive at night. I drive the Ranger and the Vulcan after dark, but the only time I run the car after dark is.........................
well,
yea ............ NEVER.
(That would be like driving the Crossfire in the RAIN - and THAT is abuse!)
