Also intercoolers are not near tail lamps in the Mk II. They are one unit and sit above gearbox, where the hydraulics reside on the street car. I guess you could go fixed wing on the street car and move stuff around. $$$$! Your car would end up like a Gemballa Mirage GT...sorta.

I love the air jacks. You are the coolest dude at any track day :)

Do it on a Saturday. I'll drive up from DFW on a Friday, mooch a place to stay with Frankie, and then head home Sunday.

Progress on #0421. Rims refinished. Paint next.

Welcome!

Agree 100%. I got the updated version today. Will try once my car comes back from Rich’s.

We didn’t suffer with good heat and water thanks to the generator. My neighbors...not so good. I look like a “stable genius” right now for having done the install 😂 Having a 4x4 Ford pickup was also great. The wife is an OR nurse. Took her to work in the snow and ice without a problem.

Very industrious. I have 110 plugs on my F250 diesel. Will have to remember this hack. Fortunately I put in a 45 Kw Generac unit a few years back. We live on a somewhat unstable grid outside of town. It’s run off a 1000 gal propane tank. We hit minus 2* on Monday night. The 4 banger...

Under doors 2 layers. Also 2 layers where aero tunnel exits onto the lower part of doors.

Congrats! Love the #98 livery. Enjoy in good health!

You can see the pigtail red/black wire connected to the terminals on the smart junction box top left. Makes it easy to connect the trickle charger on the early cars. If voltage drops enough, the cars battery goes to “sleep”. It has to be “bumped up” directly, bypassing the box. A newer...

When my car comes back from Rich it’s gonna be as clean as this one 😂. But it will still have 57k miles. This one looks right for someone to actually enjoy and drive.

Have clearplex on both FGT and Mk II. The Mk II had some delamination of the windshield that MM expertly took care of. The delam occurred prior to any film. No problems since.

two pages worth of stuff :) New shocks, rubber boots Check hubs Maybe new clutch All fluids Repaint in same colors, fix a couple of dings in bodywork Fix ding in under panel Fix ding in diffuser New front splitter New sill plates New trunk liner, new struts for trunk and clamshell Fix a bubble...

It’s been a fun 15 years of ownership. Looking forward to next 15. The one car I’d keep over all the stuff I’ve owned. There are 05/06 cars for sale now with less than a 1000 miles....I did that distance in one day in #0421. Getting it freshened up so I can repeat the process.

My car at Rich’s shop. Getting a mechanical and cosmetic refurb after 57000 hard miles.

I think the part they replaced is the actuator and some lines that attach to it. The flap mechanism or chute was ok.

I got the front hydraulic leak addressed under warranty in December. $8600 part. Thought it would be just the small hydraulic piston part, but it’s actually the whole assembly including several lines (the “Medusa” in pics at top of this thread). Problem fixed.

My car will be getting the Ahlman treatment. It’s up at Rich’s currently, for a major refurb.

I got mine today! Thanks, Dan!
