Default Hi there from Germany

Hey guys,

my name is Rado. I'm a 37 year old graphic designer from Germany.
I own a 2004 Crossfire Roadster (Lizzy) with a few modifications.
I've attached some pics of Lizzy.
Thanks for the add!

Greetz from Germany

Does that turbo actually work ? ( guess it does, since you say 300 HP - have any dyno sheets to post ? )
Actually, scratch that, not a turbo but a centrifugal supercharger.
DJ, take a look at that installation ! Bet it didn't take 4 years !!!
Did you fabricate that strut brace yourself ? Nice job !

Really nice work all around.

It does work fine.
I've bought the car with the supercharger-modification already done.
The price for this modification was 12.000 Euros (about 13.500 bucks).
I've attached the dyno sheet as well.

Very nice car!

Love the supercharger set-up, my car has a supercharger too lol. It would probably be worth intercooling, but doesn't look like that would be an easy task.

Did you just spray your center console matte black? And whats up with that E-brake, mine is not that cool looking.

Indeed...!
The prices for a Crossfire are ridiculously low in Germany at the moment.
I bought the car with all modifications (20.000 Euros total) for 14.500 Euros, which is totally okay.
And a limited with 300HP is quite rare...

Exactly! The wheels are BRABUS Monoblock V.
Very hard to find in Germany and quite expensive.

Didn't even know startech made a shifter *** and e-brake handle.

I'm considering painting my center console matte black, really does look nice. And too bad those rims sell for over 500 a piece, used... no tires... with curb rash and all....
