    Good luck trying to find the components. Better off doing s whole new system with Bluetooth and camera hookups and gps Double DIN dash replacements have been available in the past, but no one has brought up this topic for a while.

    Racing the GT - is it capable ?

    The car has built in oversteer. Let off the gas in a turn and the back end will break loose and you will spin. All mid and rear engine cars exhibit this. Electronic nannies help eliminate this in newer cars (ie new FGT).

    Pulley and tune adds 100 up, short throw shifter, catback exhaust or xpipe, Ahlman racing shocks, transmission cooler, GT Guy cold air intake, whipple supercharger, better fuel injectors. Just name a few.

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    Both cables have the same bolt. I have never taken the bolt out all the way, just loosened it to slip off the terminal. I thought it was meant not to be removed all the way. I clipped my ring terminals an removed about 25% of the ring to slide in between cable and terminal. Has worked for 15 years.

    Racing the GT - is it capable ?

    I suggest you watch some of the old Mark McGowan videos to answer your question. And what is a MK1 exactly? Do you mean the 05-06 cars? You might also review the Matech racing team attempts.

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    In 19 years I have had 3 Battery Tender Jrs. You can't really tell when they go bad. But they are cheap at Harbor Freight. I would replace it first for cheap before spending a bunch to run down some other gremlin.

    Verizon text messaging problems

    Verizon dropped their text messaging system in December. There were ample warnings to users. It was recommended by Verizon that you switch to Google messages. I have a Pixel 7a and switched at the last minute. It is using the RCS encoded type system by Google. Haven't really had any real...

    There used to be 3 GTs in Peoria, but the owners sold them many years ago. None there now that I know of. I used to be in Peoria every other week on business but don't come up there any more. Quad cities has at least one GT. Chicago 5 or 6. St Louis 5 or 6. There is a new GT service center in El...

    Tail light issue///overheated module?

    Makes no difference if you are original owner or not. Concierge number is 8333673481. Presumably you have taken the car to a certified Ford GT service facility. How many miles? Regardless, you are out of warranty. Why didn't the original owner have repairs done under warranty?

    Tail light issue///overheated module?
