Kyle and Piraeus, We'll be certain to get some helicopter aerial footage of the Targa for next year! I'll get the camera gear and helicopter set up and of course focus mostly on your Ford GT and maybe a couple clips of mine too! Cheers, John

Nice video Kyle! It was great to hang out with your team during part of the rally and hope to see you again for next years. I should have my new GT all ready by then and you should be seeing it for the gear change soon. Good luck to you and Steve till then and Happy New Year (7 hours away for...

I know there has been some confusion about lift points and that maybe the manual is not quite right or clear enough about the points. There are two holes in front with about a 3" sqaure area clear of the panels underneath which at least seem like the right locations. I know some people have...

I built two for the front and two for the rears. Holes in front were almost exactly 3/4 and round. I filed to fit just perfectly. The rears were 3/4 wide and oval shape hole. 3" diameter puck 1/2" thick with about an inch long shaft. I then installed a couple of ball plungers on the shafts...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and support. Everything can and will be replaced. Jrader1, I now know in a small way how you must have felt and thank you for showing me that all can be made better. Kyle, thanks for your offer, it shows what great people you and your dad are! Thanks to all...

First no one hurt. My detached garage burned down yesterday along with my GT with Stillen 3.9 gears and Shadowman doors . Fire inspector still searching for clues. It was a just complete new garage and I suspect electrical fire damage. The fire inspector is not ruling out the GT. He found 2...

Thanks for the feedback. No GPS units allowed and no US Ford dealers here in NZ. My big concern was as Blackice said that other engine parameters would be affected by changing the tire diameter to output km's instead of miles. Doggonit I guess I'll just have to convert all the rally notes to...

Does anyone know a way of temporarily changing the odometer to read kilometers instead of miles? I would like to do so for a road rally that is laid out in kilometers.

Way too thin, maybe a set of these would work!:box:

I've got the opposite problem down here in New Zealand being the middle of winter, the shifter's colder than....well....something very, very cold! And takes forever to warm up. If someone invents an electric shifter warmer put me down for one.

I had wild temp readings that made no sense until I had the coolant lines vacuumed and refilled. Apparently I had air pockets within the system causing these strange temp readings. I now have much more normal and steady readings, more like I would expect. A special vacuum tool and the...

I finally have my GT in my garage. I had a beautiful 6 hour drive thru the snowy mountains of New Zealand with clear roads. It took 2 months and about $10k to get my GT and GMC Denali Truck from California to southern New Zealand. Not too bad, a month would have been better. I now have...

Just another great technological design being developed! New cars do not look like model T's anymore because of constant changing improvements. All I can say to this new bolt tightening design is "why didn't I think of it?!" Actually after reading the first sentence the first thing that came...

Bill is even better than better than the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup

I also agree the gap on the driver side looks way too much. In fact so much that I wonder if the hub is engaging with the oil seal. Seems something is wrong there and needs to be looked at. If you do have broken bolts and the hub is slipping off you have caught it at a good time. Replacing...

Hi Kyle, Good to hear from you and glad you will be down for the Targa. I'm all signed up and set for the Narva Targa tour. I have a navigator who has raced and navigated for the last ten years so all should go smooth and be fun! I spoke with a guy Niel knows who has certified at least one GT...

Hi OzGT, All good points. The center line certainly helps. I find myself favouring the right side in parking lots....no centerline! And once in a while I head towards the left to get in and then realize I'm on the wrong side and I have to pretend I am just putting something in that side and...

Hi OzGT, Thanks for your information. I'm still trying to compare the pros and cons of whether I should mod for RHD. Since I plan on remaining in NZ it might make sense to convert the GT but I do not plan on driving it daily, just on special occasions for the most part. I'm going thru the...

Hi Ed, I have moved permanently to New Zealand and shipped almost everything I own in three containers on three different boats. I only plan on heading back on special occasions, one being rally III in vegas, but unfortunately without my GT. Now would be a good time to own two GT's. See ya...
