    Amelia Island Ford GT1

    I wish my friend had a sent me more photos of this stunning GT1 It does look amazing. Some lucky bastards going to buy these Seems like they’re going to be one hell of a handful to drive on the track. I think many of us would put our hands up for a couple of casual laps at part throttle.

    Whys every other bolt missing under my rocker panel......?

    I just noticed that every other rocker bolt on both sides is missing. In the manual it shows that there should be "14 required" (page 501-03-7) I took one out and their a Torx 27 M6x30mm (washer & dog point) Happens to be I think the same as the 2 I need for the upper radiator shroud...

    Getting to radiator fan with ease?

    Did some searching and found a bit on front fender/frunk removal......but wondering if thats going to be my path to get a hands on look at the radiators? Is it a 2 man job if I have to go and take front clip off to get to the radiators? Just looking for a short cut or some tips/tricks on fixing...

    Stock rotor Vs Girodisc....

    Don't do many track days (1 a year) but notice the front discs have a few cracks from the vent holes. Not every hole but many and some about 5mm long. They function perfect, no hazing and perfect finish...but not sure of the tolerances for driving hard in their future. Looked at Ford Parts for...

    Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner BAD...."squealing banshee". ?

    Ive still got some incessant squealing coming from the front of the engine. I thought it was the water pump leak (all fixed) that had cooling system fluid spilt over belt and over some miles of driving it would just go away..... it didn't Bought some "belt conditioner" and helped a bit (would...

    Water temp rises to 240 real quick....hmm

    Driving in central FL today just nice and easy for about 30min (fwy/local traffic). Pulled over to park and noticed car was at about 200 deg so about normal. 5min later I come out and drive in the lot for 1min and have to back up (too steep exit slope) and notice steam on the rear glass when I...

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    Had the car idling and when I came back I could hear a random squeaking sound coming from the front of the engine..... + some serious sling up on the rear compartment glass. I look under car when I get it home and up on the lift and see a leak (not much at all when running) but when stopped it...

    Anyone interested in Heffner building high flow/sound cats for the GT.

    Spoke to Jason today about looking into a new cat/sound set up. He would probably use HJS cats and a ball socket set up like OE header/cat junction. They would finish at same OE point so just bolt on whatever you current run. He mentioned that getting a group of buyers together would water down...

    Question..... Speedo accuracy OE & ring pinion change, new calibration needed

    In the midst of 3:90 change and wondering about the current speedo and what we know about its accuracy and how "off" mine will look after the new final drive gets plonked in. I think GT's read too slow at low "gated community" speeds but maybe pretty accurate at high (at the track) speed? Stuart

    MOTORCRAFT changes transmission oil from SAE 75W-90 to 75W-140

    Ford (not Motorcraft) lists a change to trans oil. Went to get some transmission oil and the computer in parts shows a change for the GT moving forward. Not sure when this change came into play?

    Knights upholstery lowered seat done...

    After finding out a 6' and change fella with a helmet on couldn't fit in the GT safely (for the odd track day) I decided to go with the lower drop from Knights upholstery. Its a charm and now my dome and helmet fits fine in a respectable seating position. Little harder to get out of the hole...

    Foose bumper delete

    I was looking at my bumper and thought wouldn't it be nice to just have a custom cut off butt finish to the rear rails (excluding what exhaust tips you would need to buy or re customise (I've got normal Accufab). Surprised that none of the bumper suppliers + others haven't had this sort of set...

    Think I have a oil breather hose leak?

    Doing first at home oil change and took pans off and noticed some oil on one. Looked up and noticed some drip spots and followed them up high as I could. Whilst moving my hand around the breather hose as it enters the oil res my hand brushed under the clip retainer and I got a nice smear of oil...

    GT visits SEBRING

    After some updates to the GT (Ohlins, SPEC organic clutch, trans Cooler, new rubber, Pagid Yellow pads, SRF fluid, some suspension bushings) it was time to enjoy a bang around my old friend Sebring. Was worried about the clutch as I didn't have time to do the recommended 500 mile break in, so I...

    Trusted Florida shops for new clutch fitmen?

    Looks like my clutch is about toast. Kendall mentioned Hennessy in Sarasota but I think their slammed (I spoke to Ryan?) and didn’t call me back last Friday on if they had time so I’m trying to see who else I could harass as option. I have a track day last Sunday of March so about two weeks...

    I made up an additional sheet shield for lower control arm and toe link areas

    Seems like the total loss of the control arm and toe link boots is due to heat deg. Now that I'm into doing the replacements and adding Scots suspension soon I wondered if adding an additional shield would keep heat soak much lower then the OEM function and make them last longer?? You think...

    Should or Must do's for tracking GT.... + prep

    Looked around for many hours searching on tracking GT prep and gather from the conversations (most 10+ years old).... that. My current plan is I'm going to only track the GT a few times a year if I get on that wagon again. I did have full race prep E36 M3 for a few years in the early 2000's...

    How much gas/miles left in tank when light comes on....?

    Just the other day I had the gas needle flat left and began to worry about limping to the next gas station. I'd not driven 25+ miles like you can in other cars with the light on, but the GT's little tank and me not knowing its true empty range got me mega nervous with no stations around. I...

    Rattle/clunk when turning right

    Took a tight right hand turn in 1st gear at good speed and mid turn noticed a clunk kick back in the front left (thats the location it felt like) It wasn't much of a bump in the road but never felt anything clunky through the steering before... hmmm Came home and had another right hand bend...
