    Car meets worth visiting?

    Thanks, buddy. Would be delighted to catch you at the meet (not for the ticket, but just to introduce and meet a member of the board). Will look into which ones I can make and drop you a line if I’m heading to an OC based meet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Car meets worth visiting?

    Thanks, guys. All very helpful - now need to map it out. I believe most meets happen on Sunday morning, so might not be able to do all (need to prioritise). Will plan to go to as many as I can make it to. Ive been to the Petersen every year (and will probably drop down this time as well...

    Im planning a trip over to the states around mid October and planning to be in LA for a couple of weeks. Was wondering if there are any car meets/events/shows worth visiting in or around LA. I remember the Costa Mesa Cars n Coffee used to be great and had a good showing, but that stopped for a...

    Ford GT - Note of Appreciation

    Welcome to the forum!! Seems like we have things in common - we both love Porsches and recently made the jump into this amazing machine. I dropped the research bit and went with my heart on this one more than my brain :p. No regrets yet. I still love Porsches and own a few (including an...

    Isn’t this the ONLY way to open the front hood (regardless of battery condition)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sorry to reopen this thread, but I wanted to ask how can I be able to post a thread on the GT Tech section? I wanted to ask about where I could buy some of the GTG clamshell hook release mechanism (its abit of a pain having to always look for a second guy to help out). Thanks Sent from my...

    Im not as technically adept, but it appeared to me from my read is that I need to replace the top of the neck (which is burried behind the fender). If what you’re pointing out to is a different issue, im happy to give it a try. Are you referring to the plastic flap on the exterior of the...

    I would love to join the Rallies (have been watching all the videos on YouTube), but unfortunately im located in Dubai, UAE. I do visit California on an annual basis thought for holiday. I do attend whatever car meets/CnC I can make during my trips, but im guessing the GT rallies are a GT only...

    Only issues that are making me re-think the catless option are: - CEL light, unless I upload a tune (not looking to tune yet) - im still left with the bulky Borla muffler blocking the vents and retaining heat My alternative would be to just go X/H pipe (Heffner seems to be on top of my list at...

    My thoughts too when I read the posts on the forum - the dealer doesnt think so by pointing to the sticky IAC valve, but I have asked them to check this specifically. Will report back after IAC valve is sorted. No CEL yet *fingers crossed* (ive had over 20 stalls to date). I face stalls less...
