    I literally broke the stock clutch

    My mind kind of thinks like Shelby. If I was a GT buyer, I'll be researching the archives here, and that would be a deal breaker if I was able to make the vin connection.

    Transaxle oil price

    For anyone interested, or your transaxle fluid change is coming up, I stoped by a Ford dealer today and bought 5 qts. of the correct fluid. It was on the invoice for 47, sold it to me without asking for a discount for 41 and some change. I have no idea if that is good or bad, just passing...

    Valentine V1 Install in <10 Steps

    . Ok, after much reading, research, and install test/sampling! My opinion, for whatever it's worth, the Norte install is the way to go! I'm no authority here, but the aforementioned install includes the V1 breaker, and looks totally seamless. Not that the mirror install doesn’t look good...

    Valentine V1 Install in <10 Steps

    . Did any of you guys have some trouble feeding the cable down from the Right A Piller to the R foot well area? I did, but maybe it was just me. Most comments here seem to be about something else. This is a tech area, isn't it? Let me know! Bill

    Valentine V1 Install in <10 Steps

    I did the V1 install today per the guide here on this thread. It went just fine. It took an extra 5 minutes or so, trying to get the feed down from the R inside A pillar to the R foot well area. But, after a few minutes, got that done, and it went very well from there. The V1 seems...

    Do I need any special tools to change the supercharger pulley?

    .. Since I was quoted earlier on this tread, there are many that know alot about these cars, but I don't think anyone knows more, or is willing to help as much as: ""Shadowman"", that was my experience when doing my pulley swap/install, thanks S!!!!!

    Letting go of my GT.

    . I'm thinking you want to replace that RF with a brand new BBS wheel, with balancing, etc. Make it perfect, rather than "otherwise perfect". "Otherwise perfect" at 178 doesn't have a very warm feeling. And, "May change my mind", is probably not the best sales tactic. I changed my mind when...

    Need advice

    Been there, and I've done that! I really hope the best for you, and I think the Eastwood kit gives you the best chance. It's a good product! I've used it. I've been there, and it may be "possible/passable", but if the scratches are visible, and/or if you can "feel" them in ANY way with your...

    Problems starting the engine

    . I don't think it's any of the issues mentioned. I think NOT gas related, but what would I know. I think it sounds like an electrical problem. Shadowman, he's the guy! He will have the answer! Or at least getting you going in the right direction.

    How Many GTs Have Been Totaled ?

    . I certainly don't know it that 50% number is true or not, but I wouldn't believe it if I were you. I think we would have heard big time news from the insurance companies if that number was anywhere close to accurate. But 50%, I'm thinking there's no way!

    paintjob

    . I had a top notch very close to show quality paint job done on my C3. Got it back about a year ago now. It was about 12k Even at that, I found some things that I didn't think were quite perfect, but like others have said, there's almost no limit to how much you can spend. But after my...

    The End of the FGT (and Supercars) in Sight!

    I remember in the late '60s thinking there will never be fast cars again! It will probably run the cycle again, but, I'm probably too old to see the other end of the cycle on the next go around. The GT is an amazing car, and probably always will be, but you have to wonder in maybe another 40...

    2006 Tusgston-all options-1800 miles

    . The "why" is because I have a deal brewing on a Heritage. I really don't have room for both. However, the deal isn’t done yet, so I’m just anticipating on the Tungsten while I try to wrap up the Heritage deal.

    HP on the way!

    If I remember correctly, there was a recent post about some resonance with the Accufab. I think it was 911teo. Do a search, may help. I went with the Ford Racing (it's a Borla muffler), I think it's the perfect sound. Not too loud, nice aggressive sound, and no resonance. So just to be...
