    New headlights for 2005/6MY Ford GT

    If you're going to completely re-engineer these headlights, why not design them so you can just replace a bulb next time. instead of an entire module. I think it's criminal that a $2 taillight bulb now costs $4400 on a 2018 Ford Raptor. It makes me absolutely sick to see the manufacturers...

    Clamshell bumpers

    Yes, I like a little bling in my engine bay also. Thank you for the valve cover bolts. I have a set. I also changed my OEM fluid caps to chromed caps that are labeled with "Supercharger Coolant", "Radiator Coolant", "5W-50 Synthetic Only" and "Oil Level" dipstick.

    Clamshell bumpers

    I was in Ace Hardware this morning and saw some rubber "Expansion Grommets" that I think would work very well. A lot cheaper than custom milled bumpers I'd imagine.

    Clamshell bumpers

    I used a grommet similar to these from Home Depot that is smaller on one end (shaped like a mushroom), however, mine is a black rubber grommet about a 1/2 inch diameter. They are usually used to insert in a hole to protect wires going through the hole. On my GT, the small end went inside the...

    Clint, I doubt you take chances like a career stunt driver. Just remember not to say, "Watch this."

    Shelby AC Cobra Advice

    Not me. My buddy had a 289 and every time we went cruising and I passed him with my 427, he was frustrated and I could see the disappointment on his face. Maybe if the 289 was supercharged, then ....

    Shelby AC Cobra Advice

    twobjshelbys is pretty much spot on in his description and suggestions, except for horsepower LOL. A very good Cobra replica often overlooked is a "Unique Motorcars" cobra built of fiberglass in Gadsden AL and every bit as good as a Shelby, Superformance, or ERA. They have been in business...

    Need a new clutch and flywheel

    You can look up the cost of a clutch on the Worldwide Web. Let your fingers do the walking. The cost of a mechanic won't be cheap and then add in transportation costs. There are some other FGT owners in Dubai that, if you can locate them, may be able to help you find a mechanic. Maybe look up...

    Clamshell Spring Stops/Openers

    2112, I don't know if I used the same Lowe's grommets as you tried, but I did not have to modify mine to fit. They just slipped perfectly inside the springs and the top overlapped the spring so as not to scratch the paint. They look like nice OEM rubber. Maybe look at Lowe's selection and pick...

    Latest battery recommendations

    I just replaced last month my Optima battery after only 2.5 years using a maintainer. Good news is it had a 3-year warrantee, so it was replaced for free. I would not buy another Optima. The best luck I've had is when I used a Deka AGM part number 9A35/85 that lasted over 8 years. The Deka...

    Ford Airbag emblems

    I also let my emblem crackle over time and I like the look of it - no stickers needed - just let it age naturally. The crackling uniformly covers 100 percent of my emblem now. I've never had any non-FGT owners comment that it looks bad. Noone seems to know that it ever looked different when new.

    Sad, I really enjoyed watching Leno's Garage. We definitely don't need another reality show with a bunch of misfits.

    MOTORCRAFT changes transmission oil from SAE 75W-90 to 75W-140

    Aren't you from the "show me" state? If it doesn't say to add an additive, don't add one. Doesn't matter if its a FGT or Hugo.

    change oil in ford gt 2005

    That depends on where the oil pressure switch is located relative to the filter and also how this new BMW oil routing affects the volume of oil flow through your engine. The GT engine uses oil not only to lubricate, but also to cool the engine by spraying oil on the bottom of the pistons, etc...

    change oil in ford gt 2005

    I seem to remember back in 2005-6 when the GT was introduced, some mechanics threw the snout away with the old filter because they thought it was a disposable unit. Maybe someone did that to your engine and substituted the cheaper BMW part. You'll soon know.
