    Front Turn Signal Issue

    Discovered yesterday that my front right turn signal is not working. Right rear signal works. The front amber bulb lights up when headlights/parking lights are on, but just will not brighten for a blinker. Also noticed that when the right signal is on, the dash indicator blinks at a rapid...

    Stay Away From AutoNation Ford in North Scottsdale

    I have used Auto Nation on Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd for a number of minor services over the past years. Went in last week to have the passenger airbag replaced, and asked if they would simply look at all four corners and check all the control arm bushings. Days later they had $11,000 of...

    Pulley and Tune

    Do all the pulley and tune kits (and associated MAF sensors) cause the boost gauge to become inaccurate? Or, do some of the kits include re-flash software that adjusts the boost gauge? Thanks for your input.

    Changing Fluids

    I am about 6 months from my 10 year anniversary with the GT. Was thinking that it would be a good time to change all the fluids. Other than transmission fluid and oil, are there rules of thumb for coolant, brake fluid and steering fluid? Am I missing anything. Should any of these be fine and...

    Engine Temp Gauge Died

    I think this is my 4th or 5th gauge I've had to replace. Yes, been on a battery tender for years. Anyone have an "excellent" condition gauge they want to sell? Anyone know what the price is for a new one? Thanks.

    Need Help!

    I went this morning for my GT's annual emission testing. They told me that the On Board Diagnostic (OBDII) was not "ready". They said that I needed to make several driving cycles over the next few days and come back. I have not driven the car in a month, so I will make a point to drive for a...

    FGT Engine vs 2011 Shelby GT500 Engine

    Should we conclude that the new 2011 Shelby GT500 engine is an improvement on our GT engine? It now equals our stock hp and has 10 more lbs. of tq. Do the new cylinder liners and the improved intercooler make for a real technology improvement. I don't know enough about engine technology to...

    New Squeak

    Heard for the first time this week my first squeak in the GT. Sounds almost like a "chirp" in the shock assembly or the clam shell. Seems to happen when going over a rough portion of the road. Any ideas? Anyone heard similar noises? Thanks in advance!!

    Shifter Sleeve

    The FRPP site says that the shifter sleeve is no longer available. I would like to have this, or another after market sleeve, to compliment the Exoticare replacement bezel. Does anyone have any further information on an alternative or another source for the FRPP sleeve?

    Two Gages Stopped Working

    Ok, I searchd a lot of threads and still could use some more advice if you care to give it. The oil preasure and volt meter gages have stopped in the "straight up" position. My suspicion is a weak battery. However, drove the car for 30 minutes, turned off, then back on, and still not working...

    Rendezvous in Paris

    Wow, this is an amazing video. If this is old news for everyone, sorry. On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the...

    A Little Praise For Kip

    I have been trying to figure out how to replace my binnacle with something not so glossy as Kip's CF binnacle. I thought about leather and some other composites. However, the "one-off" nature made them too expensive. Kip was quick to agree to create a CF binnacle with a matte finish. It...

    Need Help With Binnacle Swap

    I am switching my binnacle for one of Kip's beautiful carbon fiber models. Everything is going smoothly until I need to unplug the toggle switches. I am stumped. Can anyone give me some advice on how those 5 plugs release from the toggles? I can't seem to find a release tab like the plugs...
