I found a recept in her car when examining it. It is for a relay, #509907AA. The cost was $345.60. Any ideas as to what this is?? This forum is a wealth of info. Wish I had more time too troll around here for more....

I notice the wall like structure that is behind the seats and realize there is a "tub" around the occupants. Is this wall part of the structure of the car? Is there a cut away or drawing of the frame work of the car here on the forum? I am very impressed with the rigidity of the chassis. It would appear to be a very strongly built cabin..and chassis.

I ordered up a new set of Continetal DWS tires for it, as many here feel this is a great tire for this car. Unfortunately for the car it snowed here...and it will stay inside for a while. Meanwhile I will play with the Snow Trac ST4...

From the parts list.
05099007AA RELAY, Engine Management (Fuel Pump Relay)
They probably replaced the Relay Control Module as this part is in it.

 

And if they did, that is a good thing as they all will eventually fail.....behind the seats is the fuel tank. Structurally you can't find a better 2 seater for safety. Many have survived a crash in these cars..pretty bad crashes and saved their occupants lives...

 

The car is solid, especially the roof, trust me

 

The Crossfire was built on an existing platform. That "wall" is a remnant of the Mercedes SL convertible, and is part of the platform. It is there to make the convertible structurally rigid.

 

Thanks for the replies,

I was kinda hoping for a ghost view or cut away of the cars structure, as I am curious as to how it is built. I have never driven anything that felt more rigid than this car.

This afternoon is is going into a tire shop for new Continental DWS tires, at the suggestion of members here who drive on them. We shall see....

The relay issue is a good one to know about. Wish I had the old one they replaced to play around with...

Best regards, Kirk

 

I thought I had a cutaway picture somewhere, but these were all I could find at the moment.
