    Tire availability 2005/2006 GT

    Keep it in perspective. I run the Bridgestones, and when my speedo says I'm going 80, I'm really around 78. The speedos had a slight positive error even with the Goodyears.

    Maybe a good option for us?

    Frank, yeah, if you need a back on it, then the camp stool won't work well. I like them only because they are light and compact, and beat sitting on the ground most places. It's good to have choices!

    Gauges are going out - looking for recomendations

    The Gen1 FGT "analog gauges" aren't really. The OE gauges have digital innards that move the needle. And they have a gauge controller hidden under the passenger foot board, IIRC. When I specified a higher-reading boost gauge in my Speedhut panel, I also had to install a new sender at the...

    New Coilover Option

    If you like the Hot Wheels look, go for it. Just don't expect any difference in handling.

    New headlights for 2005/6MY Ford GT

    Yes you can replace the bulb. Hope it's the bulb and not the "ignitor". First, take out the old bulb. You will have to remove the plastic inner fender with is a PITA. Then take it to your FLAPS to match. There are several different kinds of HID, so you want to get the correct replacement.

    Gauges are going out - looking for recomendations

    Ditto what the others said about the battery being the likely culprit. HOWEVER, before jumping to that conclusion, let me ask, how old is it, what type and warranty did it have, and how often do you drive the car? I advise a cranking voltage test too. Can you do that yourself (or with...

    Don't be this guy

    It's hard to analyze, given the fields of view, but those two videos look suspiciously like the same car on the same stretch of road, two different times, with slightly different results.

    Don't be this guy

    it happened to me twice, once at The Ridge Motorsports track. I damn sure was rolling backwards with my foot hard on the brake pedal. Into the infield, so no harm done.

    New BBS OPTION REARS FS

    I had a Chrysler Sebring many years ago that lost a hubcap. I couldn't easily find a replacement, so I bought two that were somewhat similar and put them on one side. No one ever noticed that the hubcaps on opposite sides were different. 😁

    Porsche sues Singer

    Upadte: The suit was settled/withdrawn a week and a half ago: porsche-cars-north-america-inc-v-singer-vehicle-design I wonder what the terms were? Maybe Singer just had to stop putting the Porsche name and logo on parts they made, like the rear light panels or deck lid. Or maybe Singer had...

    Porsche sues Singer

    Looks like Porsche lawyers having to justify their fees, and engaging in "lawfare". I also don't see how what Singer is doing differs in principle or substance from what other custom car builders do with Fords, Chevys, many other makes, parts, etc. Let's see what happens.

    Porsche sues Singer

    Yes Porsche should buy or sign an agreement with Singer, much like AMG and Mercedes (before MB bought AMG), Roush Saleen and Ford, etc. Not to mention Carol Shelby himself back in the 60's. But it won't happen because of German NIH and stubbornness.

    New Coilover Option

    Made in Taiwan is not "made in China." Leaving aside the political distinction that gets the pinstripe trouser set in Foggy Bottom hyperventilating, Taiwan is the source of very high-quality parts for many industries, as well as many of the electronic chips you find in nearly all electronic...

    Bye bye side stripes

    "If you take them off, you'll just get the usual 'What kind of car is that?'" Or, "is it a Ferrari?" :rolleyes:

    New Coilover Option

    white out: I see the spring perch collars are threaded and split, then screwed together to lock them. Good design. I've had a bunch of shocks with threaded collars that got permanently seized because of aluminum on aluminum corrosion.

    Gearheads and oil analysis. Yes oil!!!

    Ed, no. I read in some of their online info that Blackstone has those numbers in their database. Unless you are using something exotic, they already have that baseline info.
