(Oops, now see that you had already reached out to him) I talked to him Friday. He’s having problems with the anodizing process but thinks he will be back in business in a few weeks. If you don’t find a set from another user I bet first quarter 24 there will be availability from Scott’s site...

Hey all. First thanks for all the help and comments. @nota4re and @B.M.F. Got me hooked up with the stock shocks I needed! I did source a few backups (KW suspension with the help of GT101) and *maybe* the last set of Scott Ahlman’s shocks. I was only kinda kidding about the winter driving...

Thanks for reporting this. I ordered them tonight based on your research. So many parts are out of sight and need maintenance, this is good intelligence. Moose

Order them. I am going through same “discovery”. Most of the guys who have responded to you have the parts, have the knowledge and have done this before. I am finishing the work on my car next month and have 20k in spares, labor and replacement parts. Just write the check and smile, you are...

In my experience it is a cheap insurance policy to align a car after a suspension change. Especially with tires in ~short/constrained supply

Thanks! My favorite color is all of them. I ordered a set of the KW’s yesterday and I have a few people working on the OEM rears, including a couple guys on the forums. Pretty much every answer you need for this car is in the forums somewhere, it just takes a bit of time and dilligence to...

No response to my contact yet.

The available inventory shows 400+ today but no orders are filled and when you call the ford warehouse says they are on back order?! No explanation

@PeteK I think if you can find any parts you ought to hold them but Specracer is right, Scott’s are specifically designed to be serviceable. I know there are Penske replacements and that will be my last landing due to quality/design issues that I have read about. Does anyone know about the K3...

If they do, you know something I don’t. No dealer can provide so far.

Thanks for the reply guys, I have about 4 different folks working on sourcing them... All ford orders are essentially denied so far. Many dealers show them but will not sell, even with my VIN. Scott Ahlman is trying to see if he can deliver. I was not prepared for the difficulty of parts for...

Hey all. New owner of an ’05 here with a shock question. The car I purchased was on the east coast. I had it transported to Bob Ida in NJ and he has run through everything that it needed. A lot of work and 7 weeks later the car is still not drivable because the rear shocks have failed and...

Can’t find any way to request status change. Care to fill me in?

New STL owner here. My car is in NJ at Bob Ida’s shop because I just acquired it in Maryland. I have a buddy in NJ who recommended Ida. I have a shop in Kirkwood (Smitty’s) and will soon do some of this myself. My oldest son works for Reid Vann in Rock Hill. Would love to meet up for a drive...

…most of my posts should start with the disclaimer in my signature that I am the “village idiot”. Emailed and texted Scott only to finally find this thread where everything was laid out so perfectly. A few min later and I have spent 17k from Scott’s website to get the shocks and brakes. You...

I have often looked at the Porsche head unit. No idea how this may or may not work with the setup in the GT but I think it is worth an investigation. To be clear the screen is so small I see no value in maps but would like the carplay function. I have an ‘84 911 that I will be installing one...

I did not see any way to order from GT 101, did you do so through an email request?

Oh I would like to some day but I think I need to learn using someone else’s Miata first! I was asking more to know if the car was tracked are there wear items that I should have inspected/replaced before i take possession.

Well check my signature…village idiot here. I misunderstood the shop. The Sway bar bushings on my car are bad, not the control arm bushings. So that is easier, but I still don’t have an answer to a question that I didn’t need to ask 🤣. Sway bar bushings are enough for now for me!

I was told belt and that Bob has never replaced a pump.
