    Source for TRUNK lid gas struts?

    I believe you did some computer searching Soroush, thank you for your efforts, but until you have ordered a set and tested them on your vehicle, I'm very skeptical and agree with Xcentric.

    Still Can't Get First Gear

    Besides making sure the air is out of your clutch system as others have stated, there is a specific procedure that must be done after the fluid is replaced. Ford GT maintenance manual states: "NOTE: Clutch reservoir must be kept 3/4 full or higher during bleeding procedure."...

    Source for TRUNK lid gas struts?

    Disagree. It's not just the length, it's also the strength, etc. of the strut as Xcentric chided you in his posts of how impossible it is to find a non-OEM match. I'd be interested to see if you can find a match, order it, and most important, test it on your car before you recommend it to...

    Minimum Garage Ceiling Height for a lift

    I installed a barrel type rollup door where the door wraps around a drum (like a paper towel roll) rather than using the 2 rails that run over the top of the car/lift. Gives you a lot more room above the lift. The mistake I made was purchasing a drum system where the center axle doesn't turn...

    Good Cop Bad Cop

    How can you be exiting and the cop entering and he is right behind you? Having a hard time wrapping my brain around this dynamic, then again it is Calif which doesn't seem to know if it's coming or going. LOL

    Gary, Autonation Ford was the best price I could find for Ford OEM products. I've replaced both front and rear and they have the original Ford labels on them. As others have discovered, you have to use OEM. These were made specifically for only the Ford GT. BourgoinW@autonation.com...

    What have you learned about your NGT today??

    Agree Xcentric, it's not just spelling, it's also punctuation and capitalization. Will they never learn?

    New GT Owner - Black no stripe

    Congratulations and welcome. If those are the original Goodyear tires with only 6000 miles on them, they are about 14-15 years old. Those tires would now be hazardous to your health and need to be replaced before you do any serious driving. Call any manufacturer and they will tell you the...

    Ceramic Coating

    I saw some more ceramics advertised: Sonax Profiline Ceramic Coating and Mothers CMX Ceramic Coating. Sure would be nice if there was a credible comparison with Pros and Cons or each. Anyone aware of a study on these various ceramics? Thanks for the info on F-11. We need something like the...

    Naford, I don't understand your comment, "it would hurt..." What is "it" and what is it hurting?

    Ceramic Coating

    Are there different names for the same ceramic coatings? What are their names? Which is the best ceramic coating, why, and what should you expect to pay for coating the entire car including wheels? I've seen advertisements for F-11, Opti Coat, etc. some say only professional application and...

    Senna

    Noticed the NSX doesn't have posi-trac as only the left tire was spinning during his launch. Also noticed Senna is not smooth and jerks the wheel and pumps the gas pedal a lot. Considering coefficient of tire friction is a combination of tire angle (constantly jerking steering wheel...

    How does this happen to a Lambo with Nanny trxhs

    Right-hand drive. Guessing it was in the UK as the red sign on the ground says "Cycle Lane Closed" in English and the conversation was in English.
