I see Steve has already told you everything you need to know! Congrats on buying one of THE BEST colors in this car... As he said, we meet up quite often, and we do Cars N' Coffee once a month, and the Belk show on Friday nights (normally we only go once/twice a month).

Glad to have you on board!! You'll love the difference in driving this vs. the 240... Hellooooo torque!!

 

LOL! That is clever, but there is still something missing...haha

An Aero Blue it is! lol... Is this not a common color found in the crossfire line up?

 

Thanks for the welcome!

I will definitely have to come out and meet everyone soon.

This was after getting the 240 painted:

The life of the car, RB20. I couldn't complain too much about torque:



She has been passed on to another car enthusiast, who I am certain will take very good care of her!

 

Clean 240! The RB20 is a legit motor and responds very well to mods. Did you ever get a chance to run the 1/4 with it? Road course?

 

SRT-6s only came in Black, Aero Blue, Sapphire Silver Blue, and Graphite Grey(mine). No Alabaster(white), Blaze or Torch Red, or Classic Yellow. There were a handful of Machine Grey, but only in '06, and not many came stateside. You should search YouTube for the V-8 XFs, as there are a few crazy members who were not satisfied with 6 cylinders. And to distinguish between trim levels, base only came in black coupes with a manual tranny, limited have power leather seating and silver trim(vent stakes and windshield surround), and SRT-6s came with hand-built AMG 32 motors, fixed wings, and 15-spoke wheels. Maybe I should let you find some answers with the search feature for now. We could do this for days......

 

Thanks! It was a great project car and I learned a lot! There was a lot of time/money put into it. There was nothing spared as far as upgrading suspension, brakes, drive train.

I did not take it out to the track nor did any road courses. The battery was not secured by any means until the day before I picked up the Crossfire, and I did not want to take the chance of the terminals touching metal and causing problems.

It was a stock RB, as far as the block/head is concerned. It just had an aftermarket FMIC. The amazing part about the 240sx was that it passed emissions!

 

Awesome! Soooo much to learn... and thanks for the explanations. Searching will be no problem!

 

ah grasshopper so much to learn!! come to the dojo of 32krazy! and the lessons will begin! lesson #1 STAY AWAY FROM THE DEALER!!!!

 

yeah. i cannot imagine how much the dealer would charge for changing 8.5 qts of oil...lol

 

well i will be installing my 6 piston front 4 piston rear calipers this weekend. full bleed and brake bed in as well as testing the wavetrac i installed last weekend. feel free to stop by. bring beer!
any time you see mobil 1 0-40 on sale for 6$ or less per qt grab it the fleece filter is at advance under the purolator brand L25277 each store carries 2 filter and they run 11$ or so.get both.

 

sounds good! i am planning on going to IA for a little while and then going to a friends bday party. if i am able to make it, i will bring some beer.

yeah, i will def. keep my eyes open for oil...

my EP uses 10w50 now, which is gold...haha

 

did I see a Nissan......man.....Steve, take him under your wing...geezzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....lol

 

You did see a Nissan. But I am a Honda guy for sure! :-)

This picture was taken in Kansas City during my road trip from TN to Cali.

Really? Of all the Si chassis to choose from, you pick the one with the dash shifter!?!?!? jk. My cousin has a 200-wet shot kit for that if you're interested. He wised up and got a 300C SRT-8.

 

doc im not sure about this one! first a nissan than a toaster with the back cut off!! there may be no help here. i hope maybe a blast to 170 mph will help turn this wayward soul around!! dont stress sat berry. looks like my parts may not get here until next week. wont know till fri when i get home.

 

LOL! Yeah, the rally shifter is amazing! I was worried at first and I cannot believe more cars don't have them now!

Not really into Nos, but a 200 shot would be sick! I wouldn't know what to do with 500 hp + a 200 shot of Nos. ;-)

HAHAHA. I have heard all kinds of things, but I think a toaster may be a first. Egg seems to be the most popular one. I have had the EP since 2002.

If you get the parts next weekend, that would be cool. It would be great to meet more owners and see the potential this car has to offer.

 

always someone around to wrench at my house. as for the potential of what the car has to offer..... bring depends!

 

Congrats on you new car. I love my SRT. In fact, I would love to purchase a second one in the future maybe a coupe. You will find lots of helpful information about the car on this forum. I'm a BMW tech and I learn so much off of this forum every day. Trust me when I tell you that the people on this forum know more about these cars than anybody. Don't espect your local Chrysler dealer to be any help because they are clueless. Everytime I've been to the dealership to pick up parts, the salesmen and parts people say that they didn't even know that Chrysler made a SRT6 Crossfire.
