    How long to wait to cover your GT?

    i kept my 911 Speedster under a thick felt-like car cover at all times so day-to-day bumps in the garage would not mar the finish. for my GT, i bought an indoor car cover that keeps dust away but is not thick enough to protect against small dings. i really bought the wrong kind and am thinking...

    Engine heat affecting clamshell??

    I was thinking about doing my own temperature testing. I am trying to figure out how to get a temp probe inside the engine bay that can measure ambient temps. The things I wanted to test were: A. The "license plate spacer" idea (which sounds good given the huge hole sitting behind the...

    Engine heat affecting clamshell??

    Bob700: Thanks for the picture. I wonder if there is a benefit of putting reflective material over more surface area of the underside of the clamshell (longer lifespan of the clamshell, less long term damage to paint on clamshell,etc.)? And the opposite -- would there be any detriment to...

    for those who have clear bras on their cars......

    my clear bra guy said not to use wax with color. use a clear or white wax only. apparently, the clear bra will absorb some of the color in some waxes.

    for those who have clear bras on their cars......

    for GT owners who have clear bra'd their cars, how much of the car did you cover? i am going to do the entire front end, the rocker panels, bottom rear of the car (behind the wheels), and the headlights/foglights. however, i am also wondering if i should do the doors on either side (for door...

    Heritage Owners -- number or no number ??

    I am about to clear bra my Heritage and am thinking about whether I want to peel off the number installed by the previous owner and keep an "un-numbered" car? Or should I keep the #8 that he put on? My question to other Heritage owners -- did you number ? Why did you pick the number you chose...

    I also just took the plunge on a Heritage

    I agree.........i put out a few feelers (including with some of the sponsors) about Heritages & Black cars, then all of a sudden, several Heritages come up for sale. it was good to have a few options on very nice Heritage AND Black GT's. there are still lots of good low mile examples in the...

    I also just took the plunge on a Heritage

    i just drove home my a 2006 Heritage. it looks real nice sitting in my garage ! my first impressions: suprisingly quiet, incredibly powerful, really stiff suspension, wonder why they put in 5th & 6th gears (LOL). i already saw a hose that needs to be replaced -- one coming off of the rear of...

    AtomicGT: i saw your post from last year regarding the Griot's rubber driveway ramps. i was thinking about buying a set so when i get my GT, i am already set. But your post set off a red flag. did you ever get them to work? if not, what did you end up doing? if you still have them, are you...

    proper board "etiquette"

    Chip: thanks for your reply. That is why I asked before I posted a link to a GT for sale. It doesn't help getting on the wrong side of a bulletin board moderator. But I beg to differ with you on the value of "hearsay" for cars, high end or otherwise. Given the low production volume of GT's...

    proper board "etiquette"

    Chip: let me clarify so there are no ambiguities. let's say I see an ad for a GT on a car dealer's website or eBay that I am interested in purchasing. may i post a link to that ad asking forum members to tell me what they might know about that particular car? or would it be more appropriate...

    proper board "etiquette"

    are board members allowed to post links to GT's for sale to solicit board member feedback & knowledge about a specific GT that is on the market? this is quite common on several boards in which i am a member. but before I post, i thought I would ask. given the small number of GT's...

    need a favor from a California GT owner

    Thanks for your replies. I assumed all new cars had the "legal in CA" language but before I go through DMV hell, I thought I would ask.

    need a favor from a California GT owner

    On the VIN sticker on a GT that was purchased and registered in California, do the words "legal for sale in California" appear? Or do they just say "complies with Federal laws"? The reason I am asking is that I am likely going to buy a GT with less than 7,500 miles and CA has strict...
