We've fitted a few of these with good results. The only trade off I'd say compared to stock is increased damper squish noise over small bumps at low speed. Other than that ride comfort is very good - the top bushes will not last forever but replacement parts are available and the dampers can be...
It's not off the table to discuss improving performance of the lights but that would probably have to follow later.
The problem with trying to engineer improved lighting is you'll be doing a whole bunch of testing - that could easily double the price based on discussions I've had. Improved...
As far as I can establish the headlamps for 2005/6 GTs are no longer available and I'm not aware of any plans by Ford to resume production of them.
I've been talking with a company called Bee Lighting who make all the exterior lights for the 2017+ GT here in the UK. I've met with them and left...
I'm at Le Mans at the moment and saw the unveiling - it looks good in the flesh too.
Nice to see the Ford marque stepping into GT3 which I expect to be an increasingly competitive format.
Yes that's a first gen Heffner - if you're going to put a lot of miles on keep an eye on the joint between the flat section and where it joins the two round tubes. We have seen these crack before - later versions changed this I believe.
We hadn't marketed the parts as a repair kit because it's a major PITA to do. But in the image you'll see the lowdown for those interested.
Before you get to the process in the image you need to remove the filler neck assembly from the car.
It also relies on reusing the rubber seal, spring and...
In our experience if you're getting P0455 that is for a large (gross) leak which in most cases means the flap in the top of the filler neck has become detached. You can check for this fairly easily:
1. Open the fuel door,
2. Slide the plastic gate to one side with your finger.
3. You should...
We get ours vapour blasted before having them repainted by our local paint shop.
It helps to remove as much of the corrosion in the casting as you can - I believe the magnesium alloy can be a bit unstable so there's no guarantee that the problem won't recur unfortunately.
This is one we've...
Bringing a US car in to the UK is pretty straightforward. Most other European countries have a single vehicle approval process of some sort but are generally more difficult and require more alterations and paperwork.
We certainly have had a 101 UK car shipped back to the US many years ago and...
I did write a piece for the GT40 Enthusiast Club over here about what we had to do to get the GT legal for sale in the various European countries - it's quite long so get a coffee and make yourself comfortable....
Bringing the 2005 Ford GT to Europe
My involvement with the Ford GT began when I...
Great race - Really looking forward to seeing these alongside Ferrari, Glickenhaus, Peugeot and others at Le Mans in June.
Tickets have sold out already with a forecast 300,000 people attending - it's usually busy but this year promises to be crazy.
I have boxes of stock fog light switches - we switched them out on the 101 cars to a two position momentary switch as we had front and rear fog lights to deal with.

They look like Stainless Works headers - I don't believe they're in production any more.
They were around $2500. We have a used set in stock - less than 2000 miles on them. Recently removed.
These ones would be £1500.
Send me a message if I can help.
To be fair I'm not entirely sure - certainly it's not a requirement in the UK for aftermarket lights to be E marked - it is in Germany.
It is definitely a sensible thing to want to do though.
