    Wow. That's quite the extensive project. Looks aggressive. Have your aero mods improved performance?

    Rally 9 - Pics and Vids

    That Photobucket watermark really ruins all the pictures. It's very distracting and blurs the images.

    4 Post Lifts

    I also use the similar one-piece long Raceramps to get my 06 FGT onto my Bendpak HD9W hoist. The metal ramps included with the Bendpak are too steep to clear the long front end of the FGT. I use the Raceramps to enter my car trailer also.

    It fit very well. Here's a link to a picture of my installation. Be careful not to lean your elbow on the fender when you lift the heavy battery into the car. The aluminum fender will bend/dent. Whats Latest Battery Advice? | The Ford GT Forum

    What have you done with your new Ford GT?

    Clint I see there were a lot of people there. Was that everyone who lives in SD? LOL I have so many great SD memories.

    change oil in ford gt 2005

    Yup, the really scary thing was when I heard him say, "Why does this always happen?" So how many FGTs got a 1.5 quart oil change with some of the new oil syphoned out? Guess he never thought to read the manual.

    change oil in ford gt 2005

    Favio, be careful about "any Ford Dealer can change your oil." I had a bad experience with a "qualified Ford GT mechanic". Caught him syphoning the oil out of my dry sump tank because he had over filled it and didn't know what a dry sump was. He overfilled the tank by adding only 1.5 quarts...

    Ford Patents new source of revenue

    I would think this would open Ford up for a law suite for distracting the driver and causing an accident.

    forum participation?

    If something doesn't work as designed, I've always found slamming it or using a large hammer usually fixes it. I would never adjust anything to be within spec and function as designed.

    Clint, Did you buy the Mickeys or Avons? Lots of Mickey styles and tread designs to choose from.

    Transaxle fluid use

    Agree with 2112. When you drain the tranny, it doesn't drain the cooler completely.

    For you new 05/06 GT owners!

    Ron, Never use DOT 5 brake fluid in the Ford GT as you suggested above. Only use DOT 3, 4 or 5.1. The DOT 5 is silicone fluid and will ruin your brakes. The other DOT formulas are synthetic. There is a huge difference between DOT 5 and DOT 5.1. Otherwise, nice summary.

    Looking inside an engine during cold start (-30 degrees)

    If you were responding to my statement about the 5-50 synthetic, I think you missed my point. It appears he tested a much thicker "mineral oil" solution than most USA cars run these days, so the test isn't really valid to USA cars. The mineral oil may solidify at a much higher temperature than...

    Fuse Box Diagram

    Can you reverse the positive/negative terminal positions on your battery so the terminals are away from the front radiator frame work? I installed a lead acid battery with the terminals reversed so the battery terminals would not be under the frame work like the original battery and accidently...

    Looking inside an engine during cold start (-30 degrees)

    Yes, interesting, but I wonder instead of using his mineral oil at his -30C (-22F), how the new synthetic 5-50 oils would have done or even 5 weight oil. I used 5 weight dinosaur oil in Colorado with my Toyota 22R engine sitting outside all night at -40F and it started and ran well.

    Clint, I replaced my Cobra BFGs with 15" Mickey Thompson ET Streets. They are a much superior tire to the previous 2 sets of BFGs I used. My BFGs would never hold a balance so I was constantly taking them to the tire store for rebalancing. Absolutely no problem with the Mickeys in the last 3...

    What to do with stock tires

    I sold my originals with 10K miles and 10 years on them at a car show to a hotrodder. He was super excited to get them even though I told him they weren't the safest to use anymore and he may not find a tire shop that will mount them.
