    I've had fuel, boost and voltage gauge failures. My car seems to have a penchant for diversity!

    Headlamp Bulb Failure Survey

    Given that headlamp assemblies reportedly have a list price of ~$3800 each, and given that headlamp bulbs allegedly cannot (the entire unit must be replaced), please post to this thread if you have experienced a headlamp bulb failure and indicate how the problem was resolved.

    Headlight Tech

    I'm just weary from having just experienced my 3rd gauge failure and not completely thrilled with any of the known fixes. So one more possible excessively costly electrical/electronic failure puts me in an unthinkable mood.

    I was wrong, it's not preposterous it's flat out ridiculous! Change a $1500 - $2000 headlamp unit because of a burned out bulb! Outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!

    But not the headlamp bulb? If true, that would seem preposterous!

    GT Accessories - Spring Cleaning!

    I have Exoticare's Arm Rest pads, Door Inserts, Switchblade Key, Hot Buttons and Shifter & e-Brake Boots and I can vouch for the outstanding quality and improvement in appearance these items make. I have no commercial interest in making this statement BTW.

    New GT, foul weather weekend, idle time in garage......

    Relocating the Big Mac was my very first modification and IMO a huge improvement over the stock boombox. Shadowman was the brain behind the project and also facilitated production of the new sub enclosure; I was the grunt. The write-up is attached to this post. Good luck .....

    Intercooler water pump

    Are OEM replacements no longer available or is there some distinct advantage? Doesn't appear as though it would fit very well.
