    GT Wipers with better visibility and looks

    Received and installed my new wiper arms. Thank you so much. Removing the driver’s side visor and installing the revised wiper arms opens the entire windshield to full visibility. Wipers also work great. What a great gift that Jc Thorne has given to all of us that own the second generation...

    GT Wipers with better visibility and looks

    Payment sent. Thanks JC. Looking forward to receiving the new wipers and increasing visibility. Removing the driver's side sun visor really has helped already, so the modified wipers should really be the finishing touch. Thanks, Seth

    GT Wipers with better visibility and looks

    Hi Jc, Just PM you with the hope that there might still be a set of wipers still available for my 2005 white/ blue stripe. I have owned my car since 2010 and just removed the drivers side sun visor today. What a difference in visibility. Would love to now switch the wipers. Thanks, Seth

    Jenson Button's Ford Gt

    I was just curious how someone of Buttons obvious driving skills and love of fast production cars, could have such an extreme and divergent opinion about the Ford GT than almost the entire world automotive press. EVO 2006 Performance Car of the Year, etc. If he said it was not his all time...

    Jenson Button's Ford Gt

    It ha been on the Internet that British Formula One Champion Jason Button is selling his 2005 white/blue stripe Ford GT. I was however, very surprised to read in this month's Top Gear Magazine page 53, that Button considers the Ford Gt as "the worst car he ever bought". Worse apparently than...

    What is the correct (normal) engine temperature for a completely stock 2005 Ford GT, when driving locally in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear in high eighties to low ninty degree outside temperature with the A/C on?

    Tires

    Thanks Mad in NC. I already read the tire thread. I just could not find which fronts to go with. Bridestone 255 or 265, and what is the difference in performance between the two.

    Tires

    Hi, I went for a long drive yesterday and just hit the 11,000 mile mark. I still have the original Goodyear tires, and do not feel comfortable with the rear tires, eventhough they look like there is still trad life left. I have read the numerous posts about the Bridgestone RE050A...

    front hatch keeps popping open

    Hi, Your front latch problem sounds like it is definitely the Exotocare key from Andrew. I had the exact front latch problem when I started using Andrew's key. I spoke to Andrew, and he told me how to disconnect the pins, to deactivate the key fob trunk and alarm buttons. My alarm would...

    Problem with a radar detector and rear laser shifter - Help

    I had the Escort 9500 ci installed in my White/blue stripe 2005 Ford GT. Absolutely no problems or false alarms. Also, no problem with melting wires after 1700 miles of driving. I suggest checking the wire plug connection in the front, that connects to the radar unit. I first had an issue...

    Opinions on purchase sought

    White/Blue 2005 GT I understand the mileage question, when purchasing a GT because I went through the same process before making my decision. I took delivery of a great condition white/blue 2005 on 3/31/2010 that had 8,000 miles. I purchased from Lamborghini of Houston. I have a black 2001...
