    Heavy clutch pedal

    Looks like I am starting off a 3rd clutch today after just 11k miles (all of them stock), I got it installed with brand new flywheel and slave (came out to an exhorbitant amount of money all-in, probably 'cause I am in the uk). Reason for the post is that unfortunately I am a bit frustrated...

    A little bit of a horror story...

    Took out the car this morning for work, was on its biweekly round to keep all the bits working. Started out all fine then the check engine light comes out, so I take out the obdkey just to check that it is the o2 sensor on the catback, no code found. I stop to refuel, so far so good, get back...

    my car has recently developed a "grinding" feeling when steering at low speed (like there is some sand in the rack), I immediately though about a leak on the steering fluid generating a malfunctioning of the power steering assistance. Went to check the PAS fluid level but (call me stupid)...

    rear Bridgestone and front GY?

    not a tire expert unf and have not found the answer by searching the forum. My rears are a little worn out (see pic attached, they need to be changed, don't they?) and are def much more worn than the front ones. Was wondering if there is anything against using the potenzas on the back and...

    GT driving addiction

    ...I must admit it, after adding 4k miles in less than 3 months to the odometer there is no hiding, driving my GT has become an addiction. So strong that it clearly overcomes any fear of excessive high mileage depreciation. I know i might be reinventing the wheel for our UK friends, but I have...

    Gran Turismo - American muscles meet Italian curves

    ....after months of wait I finally got my hands on a low miles '05 (white with blue stripes). It's my first post here, but I must confess that this forum has been my bible for the last few months - this is truly a great community and it breathes passion for the FGT in every post - congrats...
