    Two things I would like to change on my GT

    After 6 months of driving the finest machine I have ever been in, I have determined that a couple of things need changing to meet my deficiencies. Every time I fuel up at a station, I forget to take the keys with me to open the fuel lid. Has anyone installed a manual or electric fuel lid opener...

    Serious peace of mind with upgraded halfshaft bolts...

    This bolt issue is not according to VIN No., but has to do when Ricardo did the tranny. As in any low production vehicle, parts are interchanged as they are needed. ALL of these bolts should be replaced in ALL of the cars. The ramifications if they aren't, could be disasterous. FORD, you are on...

    Serious peace of mind with upgraded halfshaft bolts...

    The GT Guys told me that the hardened washers are black, and the non-hardened are silver.

    Need a Set of Original Equipment GT Wheels

    Would like to get a set of track tires and need a set of wheels first. If anyone knows where I could purchase a set of the original equipment wheels, it would be appreciated. My car came with the BBS wheel option, but would like to have the OEM wheels also. Thank you.

    Any non-radio listeners here?

    My radio is always off when I am driving the car. But I do use the clock. But for 4 grand it should reset itself when going off daylight savings time. Who's got an upgrade on the clock?

    Exhaust with the best sound

    I also went with the Acufab exhaust. Installed it myself with no problems. My car now sounds like it looks. The beauty of this exhaust system is that you can feather the throttle and its quiet, but when you jump on it, it sounds like it is supposed too. Thank you Acufab.

    Oil Filter

    Just received my 10 oil filters from Germanfilter, and they were the Mahle's. Have emailed Brian Case, to issue a pickup for these, and to send the Mann HU 925/4 filters that were ordered. We'll see.

    Oil Filter

    Everetto-- Most of the modular Ford engines here in Calif. I have seen at the races, use the Redline 5W40. The extremes in temp. are not too prevelent here, as in the east. Gary T.

    Oil Filter

    Thank you BlackICE for the link to the Mann filters. I ordered a case today. I have been using Redline synthetic race oil in my cars for years, so will probably continue that with the GT. Gary Tryhorn

    Tires Slipping on Wheels?

    Maybe it is a common occurance, and having the reference marks on both tire and wheel, it is just easier to determine that the tire has moved on the wheel. This car is made to be driven hard at times, and I will do that. Some parts may break, and any shortcomings that I find in the car will be...

    Tires Slipping on Wheels?

    Being a fairly new owner of a Ford GT, I have read all of the posts on the Forum, and have not come across this subject. After reading about the black dot on the wheel, and the red mark on the tire, and how they should line up, I checked my car. All red marks on all four tires lined up with the...

    Just Bought a GT

    Hi Rick, I too received my Heritage on 6/6/06. It was delivered from a Ford dealer in Alabama. I used Reliable Carriers to get it here in Northern California. I don't get anywhere in a hurry with all the car enthusiasts asking me questions that I do not know the answer to. Thanks to this Forum...

    Lojack or Guide Point Systems for GT

    Am new owner of a 2006 Ford GT, and was wondering if anyone has any experiences with a satellite locating device installed in a GT. I believe that Lojack and Guide Point market these systems, but have not read about this subject in any of the threads. The amount of information I am getting...
