    Windshield Breakage

    Just learned of a NFGT that is in the shop with a broken windshield. Had an item on the dash, hit the brakes, the item hit the windshield and broke it. Minimum of 20 hours to fix, plus windshield. Be careful out there.

    PROUD PARENTS TO BE!

    Today, while I was changing all the fluids on my '06 Heritage, an email arrived from Ford. When I saw the word "congratulations", the shock hit me as I opened that email. Ford was telling me that Cookie and I are going to be proud parents of a new Ford GT. At that moment, I realized that my...

    Aluminum Rear Vents

    Just received my aluminum rear vents that Larry (AZGT) had made, and am very impressed. How these were made so well using a sand casting is beyond me. They do need a little file and sand papering, but that is a good project for a winter night in front of the TV. Thank you very much Larry for...

    Framed

    Here is a pic I bought online and had a young man frame for me. He did a great job of framing this print for under $100. He added an engraved plate with my name and my car number. I would have posted the picture but it exceeded the size limitation and I am not sure how to resize it, so am...

    Tall GT Drivers - A Solution

    Ever since I purchased my GT I have wanted to track the car. The one requirement that I could not meet was the fact that you have to wear a helmut while driving on a track. There are no exceptions to this rule, and being 6-3, 250 lbs, I searched for an answer. I didn't think that removing foam...

    Goodyear Eagles Unsafe on My GT imo

    Just had my car outfitted with some Hoosier tires, and can't believe the difference. With the Goodyears my car would become unstable in second gear at about 5000 rpm. The rear end would break adhesion, and the front end would turn left as the rear end came around. I have noticed on some of the...

    Has Anyone Clear Bra'ed Their Heritage?

    I have talked to a couple of firms that do the 3M clear bra, and they have informed me that using the film over the black tape that separates the Blue from Orange colors on the front clip, will leave an air gap under the film. This air gap will manifest itself in a visible white line on both...

    Two things I would like to change on my GT

    After 6 months of driving the finest machine I have ever been in, I have determined that a couple of things need changing to meet my deficiencies. Every time I fuel up at a station, I forget to take the keys with me to open the fuel lid. Has anyone installed a manual or electric fuel lid opener...

    Would like to get a set of track tires and need a set of wheels first. If anyone knows where I could purchase a set of the original equipment wheels, it would be appreciated. My car came with the BBS wheel option, but would like to have the OEM wheels also. Thank you.

    Tires Slipping on Wheels?

    Being a fairly new owner of a Ford GT, I have read all of the posts on the Forum, and have not come across this subject. After reading about the black dot on the wheel, and the red mark on the tire, and how they should line up, I checked my car. All red marks on all four tires lined up with the...

    Lojack or Guide Point Systems for GT

    Am new owner of a 2006 Ford GT, and was wondering if anyone has any experiences with a satellite locating device installed in a GT. I believe that Lojack and Guide Point market these systems, but have not read about this subject in any of the threads. The amount of information I am getting...
