Beautiful East Texas
I talked to Rich (GTguy) yesterday to outline the plan for my car... nice guy, and seemed very knowlegable and willing to do (or not do) anything we need on our cars.

I talked to Rick also. I'm going to have them do the:

Heffner Pulley/Tune
Tranny Cooler
Borla Exhaust
Accufab Clean Air Insert
New/Wired Half shaft to cup bolts
New/Wired Haft shaft to transmission bolts

Are you guys doing anything else? I am interested in other modifications available.

I talked to Rich today and I'm in for a pulley/tune and axle bolt fix. Please include me in the schedule. Thanks!

I think I may have the car lowered an inch and a half or so too.

I read that the GT is made to it's current height to meet impact standards. Does anybody know if this is true? Has anybody had issues (turning, and wheel rubbing) with a modest drop?

Dave,
Look forward to seeing you again while in Dallas for work on our cars.
Then you should be able to keep up with me after the GT Guys work on your machine.:biggrin

Hello Fred, I look forward to seeing you again also. Let's have a drink and dinner if it works out. I'll be coming the night before "my appointment".

Dave,
Sounds Good.:biggrin
I don't have an "appointment" time yet, got another call into Rich to try to get it a time firmed up because I am also having the rear fascia replaced due to the crack in it while in Dallas.:thumbsup
Are you going to the Unique Performance Fest on Oct 14th, Silver Bullitt & I are driving up for it.
Put that thing on the road!!:banana

Spirit I had a message from Rich yesterday...he is out till Sunday and I am hooking him and Ric Middlekauf up to work out the details of needing the shop...We should have everyone scheduled next week so you can firm things up..

There's a good chance we will be running this for a week so Texas GT and AJ might still be able to get in on this...

Thanks for the update. If you guys are still tuning on the weekend of Nov. 10th, I'd be able to get my pulley and tune done. I get back from Italy on the 9th Nov. The exhaust and cooler are going to be done here in FW in the next week or two. AC

I would like to get pully, exhaust, tune, seats and belts.

What did you select for your exhaust? When its on I would like to hear it before I make my decision. We go across on the 16th and back on the 25th.

427 Aggie
Whats the chance you will be at the Frisco meet Monday? I would like to hear revs and at speed inside the car.

At The Rally I dropped mine 1" in the front and 3/4" in the back with Alex's springs. Did a performance driving alignment. I am 100% happy with the work of the GT GUYS.

I have the IDA exhaust. It should be back from the ceramic coating next week, then on the car. If its all done before you leave on vacation, I'll give you a call. Steve T also wants to listen to it. AC

Heads up guys, I signed up to have the GT Guys lower my GT an inch or so. Don't be jealous.

Dallas Dudes,

I have a good supply of transaxle cooler kits in stock. As a "Group Buy" kind of thing, I will take $25 off EACH kit for EACH kit ordered for this install weekend. In other words;

1 kit ordered = $25 off
2 kits ordered = $50 off EACH kit
3 kits ordered = $75 off EACH kit
4 or more kits = $100 off EACH kit

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Kendall
