I am into older Muscle Cars from the 60s/70s, Performance Parts from that era are extremely cheap at Carlisle, San Diego, Long Beach Swap Meets etc..

I saw a two storey house in a gated community in Las Vegas in May for $49,000 - the same house in an "okay" suburb in Adelaide would have been $500+..

Welcome aboard Andy. I am an SRT 6 Black Roadster owner in Hope Valley..

We should start a "mini" database of Adelaide SRT-Roadsters.. :-)

What color is yours, where did you buy it etc?


Cheers


Adam

Hi Andy,

You are never too old to enjoy a drive through the hills etc!! I ordered my performance parts from a couple of places in the USA. www.needswings.com and www.eurocharged.com I tackled the installation process myself with the dual air intake and smaller pulley.

I am also trying to arrange for the boys at eurocharged to make a special trip downunder. I need approx 15 cars to make their journey worthwhile but I also have to try to get a performance shop to allow them to use their dyno's etc.

One thing I would buy is a new intercooler pump, mine gave out after 20k.

What colour is yours?

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks Michael, it should arrive this week from the West. I can't wait to get it home... I work in Brompton, so fingers crossed it will be hitting the mean streets of Adelaide next week..

There is also a Black SRT-6 Roadster which is currently on Carsales in Adelaide (so that it is at least 4). Michael is a bit more clued up with Adelaide SRT-6s than me, I am sure he may know of some more..

Guys, there is a Chrysler Mega-Cruise on Saturday, 25th February.

I am unsure if I will actually go myself at this stage, but if other Adelaide Crossfire Owners show up, I will also make an appearance.. There is usually a couple of different Crossfires that show up at these Cruises (yellow Roadster, silver coupe)..

Hi Michael,

The Cruise starts at 5pm, leaving from Bonython Park.. I am still unsure if I can make it at this stage, but will try and make it..

I found this link

All Chrysler Day (South Australia) 2012 - Page 6

Just seen this. I/we own blaze red roadster and sometimes go on mega cruise before the all chrysler day. Never seen another Xfire there in the time we have been taking ours there. Saw two other roadsters on display 2011 all Chrysler day though and yellow coupe XFIRE 1 (i think) in mega cruise le cornu days. Dave

I am pretty sure that I've seen your Crossfire on the Chrysler Cruise. I own Valiant's also, so I usually take an older Mopar product (or my partners Chrysler Sebring Convertible).

A lot of the Valiant community don't really get the "Crossfire" addiction (or any other modern Mopar for that matter).
