It has arrived!

Well its official. I am a Ford GT owner! My 2005 Red GT is a landed immigrant in her new garage. I had the Daytime running lights wired and my Import Inspection done. She almost has her Canadian citizenship. One more provincial inspection and we are good. Almost street legal! Great car and I love it. John

Congrats! What an awesome machine and I know you'll just enjoy the hell out of it! Just curious as to how you implemented your DRL's. Did you install a relay off ignition to keep them on, or did you do this some other way?

Welcome to RED car club. Please ignore the other color naysayers. We don't call him StormKitty for nothing. Be careful learning to drive it. Check out the old threads for new car owners.

Hey FBA
I had it wired so the headlights come on with the Ignition key on a relay. That way soon as it passes the provincial inspection I will pull the relay out and everything will go back to the way things were. I don't want daytime driving lights.

welcome to a fellow Cancuk owner!!! Just changed the oil on mine and head her out stretching her legs last night on the way to an event!!

 

[Superfly]

Congrats!!! Looks like Alberta Plates on her. Where are you located? There's a large contingent of GT owners both in Edmonton and Calgary, so I hope to see you out this summer.

The DRL's are actually switchable by Ford on their computer. My car is a Canadian car, but I had the DRL's turned off (technically so that I could go the US, but practically speaking both because I wanted them off, and I wanted to save my headlights from the perceived threat that the heat from extended use might in fact crack the lens - yeah, paranoid......) Did you do the relay yourself? I'd like to install one for my Fogs, that way THOSE could be my DRL's. Right now I just turn the fogs on when I'm driving, but I'd rather not run the dashboard LED's all the time either. LOL

I am in Edmonton. I had David at Garage Works get his wiring guy to do the relay and he did it so the foglights can be turned on/off as well.

[Superfly]

John, so YOU'RE the guy. Dave had asked me if I knew of any Red GT's that might be available as he had a client looking. Well, congrats again, and welcome to the E-town GT crew. Looking forward to having you out on some drives.

My name is "Pro" by the way. Cheers

congrats and welcome,

you are in for a treat! I remember when I first got mine I used to wake up in the middle of the night for the first few nights just to go downstairs and look at her in the garage cant say that about any other car!
