    Forum sponsor does not have GT tires

    I ordered a set of Bridgestones from Simple Tire at the end of April. The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 345/35R-19 rear tires I received were the Suderia version. They were manufactured about 18 months ago. The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 265/40R-18 front tires I received were manufactured about...

    Coolant Refill Help Needed Please

    I've changed the coolant on my GT four times, and I am not aware of a way in which the Radkitplus can be used to remove the coolant. I have only used it to remove the air from the systems before I refill them. To drain both cooling systems, I open the radiator and intercooler drains at the...

    Bridgestone Scuderia now being shipped from Tire Rack.

    FYI, the 345/35/19 Bridgestones I ordered from Simple Tire arrived this afternoon. They were manufactured in October of 2016 (4216 date code).

    Bridgestone Scuderia now being shipped from Tire Rack.

    Yes, Tire Rack was able to give me an idea of how old their tires are. The 265/40/18 Bridgestones they could send me were made in early 2016. So the best Tire Rack could do for me would be over two-year old front tires. Hosiers aren't really an option for me. I need a street tire that would...

    Bridgestone Scuderia now being shipped from Tire Rack.

    When did you order your tires? Were both the front and rears relatively new? I’m not worried about the tires not being allowed on the track. I’m just concerned that I’m giving up useful life and grip. Simple Tire has stated that they were stored in a climate controlled warehouse, and I...

    Bridgestone Scuderia now being shipped from Tire Rack.

    I just placed an order with Simple Tire for a set of RE050A Bridgestones. The front tires (265/40-18) arrived yesterday. They were manufactured in mid-2015 (2615 date code). Has anybody ever used "new" Bridgestones that were almost three-years old? Should I ship these back to Simple Tire...

    Takata airbag recall

    My dealer was able to adjust the lower dash assembly this morning, and everything looks as it should. So, remember to check the alignment of your lower dash when you finally have your passenger side airbag inflator replaced. Cheers, Waldo

    Takata airbag recall

    This website has some good info on the passenger side airbag recall: http://ford.oemdtc.com/1738/14s28-driver-airbag-inflator-replacement-2005-2006-ford-gt/5 After looking through that site, I found the section in my shop manual that covers the airbags (501-20B). After reading through that...

    Takata airbag recall

    Hmmm... That makes me wonder why the dash panel wouldn't be in exactly the same spot. The tech who did the work stated that there is only one way to mount the passenger air bag and there is no room for adjustment. I agree. It's only off about an 1/8", but it definitely makes a noticeable...

    Takata airbag recall

    Has anybody else had their passenger side airbag replaced? I had both airbags replaced last week, and I'm less then pleased with the passenger airbag. The dealership was great. I have no issues with their work. My issue is with the replacement airbag itself. It sits slightly higher in the...
