Mac cars have tweeters in the doors whereas non-Mac cars do not.

No need to over think this. Do you plan to track the car? If yes, then maybe use a Motul660. If not, just choose a Dot 3 fluid from a known brand.

Please see me update/correction to Post #1 in this thread. Spoiler alert: Kudos to Ford, Kendall is an idiot.

I'm sorry that this has happened to you. Hopefully it can get resolved soon.

Is there a modern car that WAS built with racing as it's main focus? Modern "amenities" like stereos, airbags, AC, crash bars, passenger seats, catalytic converters, mufflers, EGR to name a few all detract from being a true race car. Given the value of the current cars and the scarcity/cost of...

Recently purchased a new 05/06 Transaxle from Ford. I guess I'm not terribly surprised that no one has gone back through the inventory at Ford and updated the axle bolts/spacer on all of the in-stock inventory. However, I would kinda expect/hope that Ford would provide the upgrade kit with the...

I think CTEK makes good chargers. I do, however, still think highly of the Battery Tender Jr. You DO need to make sure to purchase the 12v version. The Jr is advertised at a maximum current of .75A with a 5-year warranty whereas the HF models are .5A with a 90-day warranty. FYI - the GT OEM...

Fix the frown! Arguably one of the poorest designed parts on our beloved GT's are the struts that help hold the front splitter level. As careful as we are, sometimes the underside of the splitter contacts the ground. Most frequently this is from a driveway or something similar. When this...

OEM rubber isolated harmonic balancer... normal.

These are a well-made aesthetic upgrade and I believe Shark01 believes they would be a nice complement to the polished Whipple. No need/benefit from a structural perspective...

Last I checked, yes.... albeit at almost $10K per side.

Hey Pete, I DO think that the clutch fluid needs to be changed every couple of years. Yes, it's the same fluid (typically) but the reservoir of the clutch fluid is so damn small, it just seems to get gunk-ed up MUCH faster than the brake fluid. It's easy to flush/change. You only need to use...

With the possible exception of 1/4 mi racing, I don't think tracking (driven properly) would have such an adverse effect of clutch life. The GT is using a twin disc clutch set-up have a lot of clutch surface area but they don't have a lot of clutch material depth. Translated, they are very...

Yeah, extrap, exactly. You just need to tie the one cable - the other one is fine. See below. For those of you not aware, the shift cables need to be as straight of a shot as possible back to the transaxle. This is what gives the GT shifter that silky smooth feeling. To achieve this, the...

'tis the season of clutches here at Cool Tech. We have 3 GT's in the shop all of which are getting new clutches among other things. I thought I would share something that we see common across all 3 of the cars - and, no doubt present on your car as well. It's something that you can invest...

Exactly what Specracer said. He's using the 2-piece 72" ramps, we have the 1-piece versions. Use Gorilla construction glue to add a piece of wood to fill in the notch. I was skeptical about the glue but 5 years later, the wood is still in place.

Well, you really need to have some nice cars when you have to live in a crappy hood like Carmel! :) :oops:

Hi Pete, I don't think I've ever seen a CEL flash. Per the OBD2 spec, I don't think that's a "thing" but maybe some OEMs do that to signify something - perhaps while is storing a code/data?

There's different fault LEVELS that can trigger a CEL and many of them present no immediate danger to the engine. The faults - like a leak in the EVAP system or a catalytic efficiency problem to name a couple, will simply keep the CEL illuminated. More severe faults where the ECU believes it...
