Hi all , new member here.
Well I just bought a Black srt-6 roadster!
i live in northern nsw country high up on tablelands.
The car has to be trucked from Sydney and should arrive here in a couple of days .
i can hardly wait, but i really hope its a good one. ( ive only seen the pics and heard the history)

Anyways ...So glad to finally join in the fun here and on the road .

Cheers!
dave

 

congratulations! You must have one of the very very few 6 Roadsters left in Australia. Does anyone know how many remain in your country? My estimate is that there are fewer than 700 2005 SRT6 Roadsters left in the USA.

 

Thanks , i just now found the cars first owner was a member here named aussiescotty and i been in contact with him only minutes ago, he sure put my mind at ease as i havnt seen or driven it yet ! He was pleased its going to a good home in the country with an ocd car fan ,me !
i wish i knew how many RHD srts were built in 05. or 06 for that matter
only 2 mo sleeps now yay

 

That info is available on this site for both 2005 and 2006 years.

Thanks man , Great infos .

 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. Shame you are on the wrong side of the country lol.
Please post some details as it is always good to get info on another one.

 

SRT6 roadster finally arrived ! its in very good condition , everything works as it should (a big relief ), interior is perfect, one small door parking lot dent that i will get repaired . The paint needs some love to be perfect but i will see to that.
the soft top rear glass has come away from the canvas in one area , it looks to have been reglued in other places but it needs more ...or a new top depending on cost.
I have spoken to aussiescotty the original owner and he was very pleased it has gone to a good home allthough he said he misses it !
I would too ,it is a Blast to drive , tracks straight , feels tight and handles great , love that sc whine ! it came with a needswings dual intake .
very very lovely car .
im stoked :-)

 

My mechanics are the local Holden dealer who have serviced my two Holden V8s and Jeep for several years . Anyway they got to change the Mobil oil and filters and give the srt a good checking over today,
All good "Very Tidy unit" was his comment , a slight leak from one valve cover was all. i will get that sorted soon
The service manager also took it for a quick spin , needless to say he liked it ,lurved the blowewr whine

My best mate drove it a few days ago too and he has now gone out and bought an 04 crossfire coupe in a very nice red colour.one lady owner ,95k kms, in beautiful condition .

cant wait to see it !

this weekend as well as driving my srt6 i will fit bass blockers to the door mids, (the bigbang forbuck sound mod } and we will make a start on the paint correction , Duragloss 2 stage is my favourite finish but it needs clay and a cut and buff first.
Ive been shopping for the SRT and there will be some new goodies arriving from the States soon

i love this little beast!

 

What was thought to be a slight oil leak from a valve cover turned out to be coming from the breather that sits on top,
Strangly 3 easy to get to torx had come loose ( or likely had been intentionally loosened by some crook)
anyway, i tightened them back up and no more oil leak !

:-)

 

Just reading you problem with oil leak and got myself a Tork set 2 weeks ago to repair my valve cover leak but looks as if mines a oil breather leak as well. just threaded 2 of the Torx screws so given up..good luck but they are soft metal ..'1 use' screws me thinks

 

So did you fix the leak ok ?
mine doesnt leak .

 

I'll get it fixed next service maybe later in the year
