Hi Ed, good to hear from you. Hi Bill, yep same photo, take care. Magic, If you ever get down this way again let me know.

Glad to hear you will make the Rally, it's gonna be fun! I might have my new helicopter camera working by then and we can get some aerials (Sony F35 with Angenieux 24-290 lens!)

There are worse places to live than NZ. Climate is diverse, we live in a dry climate area but it rains a lot in other parts of the country. We thought it was a good place to raise a family and we still think so. Not many roads in the south island but they are all two lane only, there are...

Pretty cool, ay?:biggrin I now have some company, not enough to start a new forum but I don't feel so alone now.

Por que no?

Hi Neil, A guy in Wanaka is looking to buy a GT from California and in order to bring it in under the new rule without having to own and operate it for 90 days he needs some sort of official document or letter stating a few specific facts. He does not know who to contact to get this. I'll let...

In order to import and register a LHD vehicle into New Zealand without having to own and operate it in the USA for 90 days the LTSA (DMV equiv) requires a formal letter from someone at Ford to confirm: 1) There were fewer than 20,000 made in any one year 2) There was none designed for RHD 3)...

Hi Neil, Congratulations on the win, wish I could have made it up there to see you guys win. Your GT is a serious piece of engineering! Good luck on your next races too. I got to take a spin around Teretonga with my GT on Saturday, perfect weather and lots of fun. Cheers, John

Thanks all, I've done some internet searching with no luck so far. Others have asked the question but no answer yet. I'm sure there is a solution, I can't be breaking new ground here. I also have a 2007 GMC Denali pickup truck here in NZ with the same radio problem with no fix or solution so...

Some newer digital car radios in the USA tune only into odd number frequencies. If that radio was brought to and used in New Zealand, for example, then it won't be able to tune into local stations because local stations broadcast in even number frequencies. A station here at 92.4 can not be...

In some countries the radio station frequencies end with even numbers (92.0, 101.4, etc.) In the USA they end in odd numbers (92.1, 102.3). Does anyone know of a solution to this problem short of replacing the radio? Is there a way to program radios or a hidden switch to change the tuning?

A couple ideas. Remove grill in front of radiator, it blocks about 20% of the airflow. Doing so will expose the radiator to damage from rocks and things though. Make sure there is no air trapped in the cooling system. There are some aftermarket springs that can be added to a certain section...

Maybe a crazy idea but developing a heads-up display reflecting off the windshield would be, well cooler than something really cool. Enough volume to justify the design if developed for all cars and not just the GT. Controls added to the steering wheel could be convenient.

Very interesting you were successful in timing the threads. I've had two or three situtations in some of my designs that I needed to time threads and always had to fine shim to get just right. Once was when I had to screw the pintle on the adjusting nozzle of an ejection seat rocket engine...

Hi Kyle, thanks for the great video. What a workout for car and crew! I kept imagining that video in high def on a big screen, only one step away from actually being there.

Hi Jeff, I now admire fire sprinkler systems in buildings all the time now wishing I had some of my own!! We are also building a new house which strange enough was planned to have built-in domestic sprinklers prior to the fire. We were lucky to have insurance to cover everything too. Can't...

I heard carbon fiber designs don't lend themselves well to forces in all directions. They work best in a unidirectional application. It does not mean wheels could not be designed properly using carbon fiber. Just looking at the Dyna wheels I do not like the attachment points at all, I'm not...

It was an electrical failure in the circuit panel. It was a brand new garage with full 3 phase wiring and fully insulated and lined with grooved wooden paneling. The inside was an inferno in minutes. My newer garage, being built now will have a nice fire sprinkler system, the only real...

Kyle, the GT should be to you pretty soon. Marv is getting it sorted for shipping. The only video I've seen is the odeo stuff. BlackICE, the hinges and damn near everything else is probably still floating around the planet. I believe Bill has a plan for new door hinges.

Yes I have! White/Blue from Marv at FordGTForSale.com. Stillen and Shadowman will do their magic on her before shipping it down to me. I guess I'll need to change my avitar photo though. I guess I will be one of the few who has bought two but have only one to show for it.
