I had same issue several months ago. My car has a pulley but no dead battery issues. Tried a 50 mile drive, no go. Drove it down to San Diego from Orange County varying speed overall a 150 miles. Drove directly to Test Station, Passed! The tech told me the euc wasn't reading the cats before...

Received my recall notice on 10/31/14 (last Friday). My 05 was sold in Fl but has been in CA since 07. Called local dealer in Orange, CA. to set an appointment for recall. Service dude tells me I have to bring it in so a tech can look at it! I ask him if they have the replacment parts and he...

I perfered the previous wheels, but asked myself why? I think that yellow being a primary color needs to be complemented and the yellow on the wheels doesn't do that. Secondly the design is busy and looks choatic comparted to the lines of the GT and makes them look overdone. Might work with...

It's been 6 mos since I sent in my check which the DMV cashed so I checked with the AAA DMV rep and she referred me to the Calif. dmv web site. The black and gold will be the only legacy plates produced. If the dmv cashed your check your plate selection has been approved. The implemention...

Looks like my "Shamwow's" are history! Jimmy

May issue of R&T is a knock out! I'm a road race fanatic and the comparison of the Lotus 49 against the ZR1 was brilliant as I've often wondered how fast the old formula one cars were. Somebody gets it at R&T!

I didn't, but it seems there's a wide variation in CA from 600 to 1500. Obviously, I donnated to the wrong party.

Humm.. Just paid $1023 and I live in Orange County, CA! Maybe the DMV thinks it's a Mustang GT!:wink

Harness is a racing harness 5 or 6 point, not to be confused with tuner 2 inch belts. SSE is Superstock Exotic class for exotic cars from 1990 and up where modifications would devalue the car. If it's an SSE class it must be bone stock. No whipple, no 100 octane, no fuzzy dice, nonitros in...

Short answer yes. If you run harnesses they require arm restraints. You can't get tech'ed over 170 without harnesses unless it's an SSE but you have a whipple so you can't run SSE. Confusing huh. Check out the Mojave Mile web sit for the rules. They tech the car for certain level of speed and...

Depends on what the tech speed of the car. An A3 is up to 230mph but could be 220mph if the tires have more than 6/32". I beleive that FGT have an exemption on the cage due to the driver cell. A small breakout is 5.1 to 10 mph over tech'd speed is without penalty, but do it twice and the talk...

I drive out, There is usually someone with VP racing gas at the event, but I will fill up at Willow Springs Raceway which is only 20 miles away and they have 100 Octane Unleaded and 110 leaded race gas. Suggest you go on the Mojave Mile Web site for all the rules. GT's don't need a cage but they...

What was the MPH for both cars in the standing mile?

cobra Is your car stock or modified? Thinking about Willow but not till it cools off in the fall.

Good luck with the venture, but really a 77.10 for an FGT! Glad I passed on the Mclaren MP4 as it only got a 79. Heading to my Ford dealer to grab a Escape hybrid and a killer rating of 83!

Speedhut seems to make the gauge issue moot. But I like some others I want some answers. I started to look into the issue and delved into the wiring issue and posted several observations after several gauge failures. Based on one of my post I was contacted by a Ford engineer who reads the...

If your coming from the south the CHP has regular radar traps set up on 14 coming into Mojave!!

Depends on who you ask. Sunoco says their race fuel is good for 6 mos to a year with proper storage. 76 says with ideal conditions up to a year and a half. Willow Springs raceway is less than 20 miles from Mojave and usually carries 110 VP but it's a good idea to call ahead.

Only one little problem and it's Ford's licensing. I'm working on it.

It's not just the mileage it's the drive cycle that requires stop and go and an average speed. Not a bad idea of Black Ice for the scan tool. I went to the smog referee on my Porsche telling him I didn't want to put 200 miles just for a reset. Typical bureaucratic response "it's the law".
