I too have to be careful to avoid the 2nd gear crunch when cold. I find that slow shifts at low revs work, very rarely do I grind the gears when cold as a result. In any case, I was always told never to rev cold engines as the various metals expand at different rates - best to slowly warm the...

Hi Ralphie, thanks for info. As I am from UK, unforunately I will need spoon feeding on this one as never heard of Brian or Todd......dont suppose you have detail of their new company? I could send them an email. Surely someone must have these wheels on their car, I cannot be the only one that...

Looks cool.... Am I right in thinking that the GT prototype had wheels similar style to this model? There is a 'stock' rim in the background but I think that this style is far better. Does anyone know where they can be purchased or who makes them?? Thanks Tony h

Larry Are you from Knutsford UK? If so, I am not a million miles away - inbetween Blackpool and Preston. Would be good to catch up and swap experiences? Tony

GT Bra My wife has a GT bra - the speed that thing goes on is unbelievable :banana:banana:banana

You dont need any facilities as all work can be done from under clamshell. Think all you need is a 13mm spanner (may have size wrong) but thats about it. Trust me, if I can do this then it has to be simple :lol Tony H

Hi I had the same problem on my car and it was gearbox oil that was escapng from the breather. I purchased a transbreather kit and all is fine. :thumbsup If you let me have your personal email address I will ping you over photos of the installation - very easy to install and not expensive...

gtjoey Kool.....want that sound. :thumbsup Not sure if we have any laws like that in UK. Dont like my neighbours anyway so if I can break their windows and set their car alarms off, even better :lol Dont really mean that.... Tony h

Wow, fantastic. I have some old motorshow mags from 65 (may have been 67 was only a kid then) when the GT was available for sale - the quote read "not the sort of car to take Aunty out to tea in". Wish I had an Aunty that had bought one!! Anyone know how to get the current model to sound like...

:biggrin BB 512 if I remember correctly. Nearly bought one of years and years ago, well before they went ballistic in price. It was either the car or get married and buy a house - guess which won?? After 25 years of marriage I have finally been able to buy a GT without her whinging too much...

Steveirl I have a tubi fitted and would recommend one to anyone. Dont frequent Ferrari forum - not really keen on them. Thx Tony

I have a 2005 with 2.7k miles - had 890 when I aquired it. I have pully, throttle body and exhaust - all reversible if needs be. I am not sure about cars with little to no use, surely this cannot be good for anything mechanical? I view my car as a work of art and as such needs to be shared...

As we are discussing Batman, I have a back to front question... I the answer is "its a cockrobin", whats the question :confused Question is "whats this sticking up my arse Batman" :banana:banana:banana

Kwik Fit arent that bad, they have a really good selection of hammers and chisels :lol One thing is for sure, theres no way they are going near my car unless they are one of the newer state of the art centres with experienced staff....even then I will take some convincing. By way of update, I...

I know how you feel, I couldnt believe that Spiderman is Peter Parker....... Tony H

Update.....had a call from Kwik Fit and they tell me that the tyres are not in stock. They offered a full refund but I politely declined - as you would :lol I am told that I will have to wait till December for delivery as Goodyear are still manufacturing the next batch. I have also been told...

Would it be possible to mark the area where Shadowman recommends placing the 4x2? I have seen the lifting points when the car has been on the ramp - going to buy some hockey pucks as suggested in another thread to place at the locating points when jacking. Tony H

Had a call from Kwik Fit late afternoon. Problem was that when I ordered them there wasnt a GT listed so I put down that I had a Fiesta. The lady asked if I was sure that I had ordered the correct tyre as they were a bit wide for such a small car. Was meant to collect them on Sunday but now not...

Hi Guys Many thanks to everyone for help. Whilst I am fairly technically minded I dont want to hurt the old girl by not jacking at the correct points. Just for complete avoidance of doubt, are there any drawings or pictures that can be shared to show exactly where to place wood as per...

I put a transbreather kit on which eliminates gearbox oil coming out of the breather for the gearbox. Looks cool and also keeps engine oil free. Tony H
