There will be at least 2 others at the Quail Lodge on Friday, which should be a great event. Craig

With a dry sump system there are two oil pumps, both driven by the engine. The pressure pump works just like in a wet sump engine except it take it's suction from the bottom of the oil tank in the engine compartment. It is a positive displacement pump, which mean it delivers a set volume of oil...

DLKGT, Thanks fore the input, :thumbsup you have confirmed my decision. I'm getting exactly the same treatment as you got. Have you noticed any other changes, like temps and torque? Craig

Accufab exhaust I'm scheduled to have the Accufab X-pipe installed on Tuesday, along with with an upgraded chip. I'l let you know how it goes. Hopefully I won't need earplugs for the drive home. Craig

I had the oil changed today and the dealer was very careful, and allowed my complete access to the bay and under the car. I got my first good look at it and see the torx that everyone is talking about. The clamshell is OK I understand that the semi-horizontal gap bewteen the rear facia and the...

Dodes anyone have the instructions from the service manual on how to allign the clamshell and rear cilp assembly. I can't stand it any more. I can see bolts through the gap from 10 feet away. :thumbsdow This should not be. Let me know if you can somehow post or sent them, Thanks, Craig

We've all seen the photo's, and they look good, but has anyone's butt tried one? :biggrin I would like to sit in a car with the lowered seats before spending that kind of money. Does anyone in SoCal (San Diego) have a car with the lowered seats? I will also be up at Monterey Historics if...

I've had a two post lift for the past 6 years and quickly decided that owning a lift is an ADA requirement for us gear heads over 50. :lol I will be purchasing a 4 post lift this summer for the GT. Great info on a good product. Thanks, Craig

I know this isn't Ford GT related but it is about speed, and there is a relationship there. This video makes doing 212 on the Autoban look sane. These guys are really nuts!! :willy http://jbeas5.mine.nu/media/media2/hayabusa.wmv Craig

The Silver State Classic would be a fun event. I looked through the site and rules, but was unable to find any reference to the GT being eligable in any class above 125, where no roll bar is required. The Tech (not to exceed) speed for that class is 140 MPH. The Z2Z event also looks like a fun...

not4re, It looks like a nice clean installation. Do you plan on swapping out the FRPP parts with the Cats when it is time to Smog the car, or is it a track only car in the future? CRaig

The link was truncated, sorry. This one should work. Just scroll down to the middle of the page and follow the link to Monterey photos. Craig http://socalsaac.org

The best place to see the Pebble beach cars is in downtown Carmel Thursday at 12:00. A large group of the car drive down Hwy 1 in the morning and turn around about Big Sur. Pull over to the side of the road just south of Carmel about 11:00 and wait for them to come by. Have your camera out for...

I find the 135 mph average speed amazing... including pitstops and driver changes. 40 years ago!! My hats off to those drivers and the drivers today that still race them. Craig

Chip, who is Harley Cluxton? I raced against him at Coronado last year. He was driving a 427 Cobra. I suspect I irritated him when I passed him at the green flag. He repassed me and and went on to win the race. I was driving a GT 350, it was obvious that I would keep him behind me. Craig

I wonder if they make a fire retardent film? :biggrin

I can add to the praise for Enrico. He did my car and did excellent work. I believe that he uses the 3M film. He has his own patterns for the GT and cuts all the film himself so there is no leadtime for getting the material. He will come to your place, but he prefers to work out of the shop. I...

With the help of my dealer, Pearson Ford in San Diego, FoMoCo is repairing the damage in the interest of good will. I am happy with the service and concern they have shown. It seems that Ford management understands that these cars aren't Mustangs, and require a little extra service. I guess this...

Well, there will be at least three of us from the forum at Willow Springs next weekend. I'll be there with a Red GT and a GT-350 #222. Lets all try to get together on Saturday. I will be pitted with the MAECO rig. :cheers

Is any one here going to Willow Springs Open track with LA COCOA next weekend? Two days of unlimited fun. :biggrin :banana Craig
