    Ford GT Rally XIV - Who's in?

    Hey, I resemble that remark! But paper checks don't run the risk of getting hacked online, nor do other paper documents.

    Ford GT Rally XIV - Who's in?

    Drive the damn thing! Especially if you haven't toured that part of the US before. Post pictures of your car beside each sign that says "Welcome to (state)" as you cross the state lines. Otherwise, see you at the party.

    Best Ford Dealer for 05 06 Parts

    Don't do that. When they fail (and they soon will), buy the improved setup from Kendall, "Nota4re". Way better than the limp-dick OE struts.

    GT Guy (Rich Brooks) Still in Business ?

    Odd. The "negative" cable rubbing against the aluminum box should not "short out," because they are both grounded. I suspect something else is loose and you keep disturbing it enough to make it a good contact or bad contact. Make sure the negative terminal cable is securely grounded by...

    Get to know your local dealer parts department manager on a first name basis. That has helped me.

    Ford GT Rally XIV - Who's in?

    Question for DBK or others; on the registration page it gave the option for PayPal or invoice. Since I'm hesitant to put that much money on PayPal, I chose invoice. I usually use PayPal for relatively small purchases from places like eBay or online merchants. Has anyone had difficulties with...

    Ford GT Rally XIV - Who's in?

    I'm registered. Solo again. I also made the Hyatt room reservation for a room with two queen beds. If anyone going solo wants to split the room with me, let me know.

    Clutch issues

    The book procedure says to step on the clutch pedal, then open the bleeder screw at the transaxle to let the fluid come out of the slave cylinder, then close the bleeder, then release the clutch pedal. Do that several times. Refer to the book.

    Clutch issues

    And there is a specific procedure for bleeding the clutch, which is not like the typical brake caliper. Refer to the shop manual, or let a pro like Rich or Rob or Kendall do it. Add your location to your profile so that someone can suggest a GT specialist near you.

    Air Bag Emblem/Std Wheel Caps --what now ??????

    Re steering wheel wear: My steering wheel, with 85Kmi on it, looks almost new. Even the GT emblem. If you wear a Super Bowl ring regularly, YMMV.

    What is this

    Data point: My 2005, with a May build date, #1677, has billet arms. Apparently, there were some later 2005 cars with them too.

    Ford GT-esque Vehicles recommendation

    Jags are beautiful cars. They are not reliable or low maintenance cars. How much bitchiness are you willing to tolerate for beauty?

    Air Bag Emblem/Std Wheel Caps --what now ??????

    Doubt it's climate related. My 2005 (May production) lived on the east coast, DC area, for most of its life, so a humid environment. I have 85,000 miles on it, and it's not showing signs of delaminating or corrosion. Guess I got lucky. So far...

    2005 GT Steering Wheel

    Maybe Jeff L has worn out his, or Flagstaff GT, but no one else I can think of!

    The LFA just looks too much like a ... Lexus. To me at least.
