Folks, I have buyers for the two splitters and the windshield. If anyone changes their mind I'll let you all know. Thanks for responding. Best, V

Hi folks, I sold my Ford GT some years ago (really bad decision BTW) and with my wife and I moving to a new home it seems time to sell off a few things that have been in my garage since then: 1. Ford GT factory windshield. The story behind this one is that when I purchased my 'used' (200 mile on...

I received the recall notice a few days back. Mine is #899 and got the double whammy. I'm not sure whether to get it serviced asap, or wait as I'm considering selling it and a subsequent owner may want to deal with it themselves. I live in the Bay Area (near Stanford U.) and am not sure whether...

Great purchase. Just happen to have one myself. It's a red one also with an LS7. Potentially the first one in the U.S. at least with the LS7 and so the owner/builder had to hand-construct the headers and other parts to get it all to fit it in there. Now ordering the car ready for the LS7 (rather...

You are either fibbing and have skills with mirrors and Photoshop or are a brilliant engineer and tech :) Remarkably complex undertaking and excellent work. Congratulation on the progress so far. It looks like you're 75% complete. As an engineer in a different field that usually means only...

It's coming to be tire time for me. I have a 2005 with 3,400 miles on it (stop the laughing and finger pointing please...). Have there been any updates on tire perspectives? I took my customary long look through the TireRack listing and can'd seem to find anything. I was hoping to see a better...

Ahh too bad it's not received better reviews. I recently saw an ad for the spray-on and thought it would be something I could do for my Ultima GTR. I really don't want to spend the $$ to have a custom application of the film for that car. There are no pre-made patterns for that model (there...

I had our famous hand model (Shadowman) install an Accufab x-pipe some time back on my 2005. We agreed that for heat reduction (and classic looks) that wrapping them would be wise as well. I wasn't wild about the sedate sound of the OEM muffler but the real goal of the transplant was heat...

Thanks for all the work that doubtlessly went in to this. B

Thank you for referencing the article. It was excellent. Seems like a wonderful man, who excelled because he moved to a great country. V

Congratulations on the car. You will definitely love it. It's unlike any other. Great color - and brand new too. Shelby must have his time-machine working again. Oh, and don't let these guys tell you that only the red ones are fast. But take your time finding out.. V

That is too cool. Thank you. V

Oil change update - any new oil specs? Folks, I'm planning on doing my own oil change on the FGT. First time for me, though there is a great deal of valuable info here so I suspect it will be a just a bit less complicated than cold fusion or a 5-minute remotely executed sky crane landing on...

Other than the FGT, I've been a foreign car guy forever. Germans for sport, Japanese for mobility appliances. So I am shocked that I am falling in love with the Boss Mustang 302 with the Laguna Seca (or something) package. What is happening to me? Do I have to get rid of my Porsche? Damn these...

Pocket dialing...

Thanks. Yes, I'd like to pack away the oem gauges and install the Speedhut gauges, but want to make sure that: 1) I pack away a working set of gauges and 2) that when I replace my gauges with the Speedhut set, that I'll have a working fuel gauge. Sounds like the best thing to do is to drop by...

Ditto. the 'middle point' is found by visually extending a line down the firewall (behind the seats) to the bottom of the car. If you rap the underside, right near the rocker you will find a 1" section that is very solid metal. On either side of it is rather hollow when you're rapping on it. It...

Folks, I'm sure this is a repeat but 'search' was not my friend. Feel free to send me to some old threads if it's been played out before... Like many others, I have had gauge problems with my FGT. Most were fixed quite simply via a combination of a fresh battery and a touch-up to the ground wire...

You are right of course. The modern Porsche 911's is 'the supercar you can drive everyday'. There are many things in the 997's that are improvements over the FGT, but there is only one car like the FGT. Comparing it against anything else is immaterial. But the 997.2's are the way to go if you...

The Z8's are fantastic, but I'm a Porsche fanboy. Have tested many of them and still like the one I have - a 997 S Cab. But I have an older 997.1. Get one from the final year, a 997.2 before they introduced the new one (forgot the 9** code). The last of the 997's have the same direct injected...
