Hello from Colorado!

Bought a Graphite SRT-6 roadster from a fella in WV several weeks ago, with 19K. Still getting use to the car and soon will be looking to do some performance upgrades. Also looking for Crossfire events and get togethers.

I have been on the forum before finding this car and want to say it has been a big help! Lots of info and helpful members. Thanks everyone.

 

Welcome to the forum
You will find some active owners in Colorado to gather with for weekend drives etc
Itsky is a member on the forum here and often they plan meets etc on a dedicated Facebook page if you are a Facebook user
Take a look at their group page and request to join

Enjoy, Gary


click>>>> Colorado Crossfire Group on Facebook
They are meeting in Golden, Colorado this Sunday morning for an event

Just in case you don't use Facebook I have copied and pasted the info for this Sunday's meet from their FB page......

Join us for a Sunday cruise up in the mountains.
Meet at the McDonalds at 2881 Youngfield St, Golden, CO 80401 by 8:30.
We will leave Golden around 9AM and drive up to Sapphire Point (next to Dillon Reservoir) just south of Silverthorne.
After visiting Sapphire Point, we can have lunch in Silverhtorne.

 

Congratulation on the buy. This combination works well on mine:

Eurocharged tune
178 crank pulley with pulley saver kit
Needswings DCAI
Supercooler
Intercooler isolator
Ported teflon coated y-pipe

 

Good choice !
That is what we call a real looker !

 

Thanks Gary, unfortunately I wont be able to make that drive. I look forward to the next one!

 

Thanks MiamiTVR, why did you choose the crank pulley or a supercharger pulley?

 

Thanks Ala_xfire, I really wanted the graphite color.

 

I did not do the choosing, that was the previous owner. There is research and discussion on the site regarding these options.

I can not speak authoritatively on the subject other than to say it seems to work very well on mine and the logic of the choice made sense to me.

 

Beautiful! Most that choose a supercharger pulley over the crank pulley is for ease of installation and removal. Literally 15 minutes once you have done it a few times and have the tools you need. Remove fan, remove belt, remove pulley and reverse. The crank pulley requires lots of torque and a special tool to keep the engine from turning while the new new pulley is torqued down. A lift is highly recommended and 2 people. A 3/4" torque wrench that reads over 150 ft lbs and a breaker bar. The 178 crank pulley makes more boost/power than a 65mm supercharger pulley. Can't speak about the other pulleys as I've only had the 65 and 178 on my car.

Thanks velociabstract for the info. My guess is that the crank pulley would also "overdrive" the other accessories. Wouldn't that wear them out?

 

178 crank pulley with pulley saver kit

I believe there are kits to address that.

 

The 178 pulley comes with a larger idler pulley and water pump pulley. I have around 20,000 miles on mine with no issues, except bald tires. You will need a tune with the pulley, well, any pulley really.

Hope to see you on a run soon with us here in CO ........I have just moved from Golden to Milliken so have been busy with the new house stuff but will catch the next run and hope to see you attend Leaddog2015. we have yet to make our annual run to the Garden of the Gods so should be doing that soon. Or maybe Bishops castle.
