    Power steering

    Simple and dumb question: do I measure power steering fluid level with the cap screwed down or just pushed in. The manual does not specify. Thanks

    SMOG recommendation in LA (Westside/BH/Hollywood)?

    Dan McKay GT mechanic at Kemp Ford in Westlake maintains both my GTs and just did the smog on my Heritage. They let me drive them in and out of the service bay. Ask for service advisor Trace, she will take care of you. Tell her JR sent you.

    Wheel Repair

    Looking at the pictures again, it may be possible that I took the after picture of the wrong area. The repair was that good, that I could not even tell where the nick was.

    Wheel Repair

    Never took the wheels off or tires off of wheels. I doubt the paint he addded or removed necessitates a re-balance. I watched the whole process. He taped off area, then sanded the nick down. He said the paint on our BBSs are thick so it makes it easier. If it is too deep of a nick he would...

    Wheel Repair

    Got a recommendation from KJRGT for wheel repair in So. Cal and the guy is a magician. I am as anal as can be and the guy fixed some small nicks on both my GTs. I thought I would post some before and after pics of one of the repairs. KJRGT was right, you cannot tell where the original damage...

    Door open light will not go off

    I'll bet it is the front trunk (can a space in the front be called a trunk?) not shut. Hard to tell that is open sometimes by just visually looking at it.

    Any multiple GT owner's have buyer's regret?

    Had to jump in, absolutely no regrets. Bought my quick silver one when they first came out and the second I saw the Heritage, I knew I was dead meat. Out of all my cars, I know the two GT's will stay with me unitl the box goes in the hole.
