I've heard reference to the Mendeola transaxle but don't have that much info on it. Their site isn't very clear, and seems oriented to off-road/sand vehicles. I believe it shows up in the FF GTM much more than in the Ultima though I don't know why. Do you know much about it (naive question)? Is...

Long ago, I told our famous hand model that someday I hope to own an Ultima GTR. Well, if finally happened (about a year ago actually but didn't think to inform this august group). It has an LS7 engine with no cats, updated ECU program, hand-made intake and exhaust system; All that is bolted to...

Love those cars and they must be spectacular to drive. Just too many bugs in the teeth for my tastes. Do they really taste like chicken? B

What build number is your car? Mine is 899... Just checking. My only problem at the moment is my gas gauge is a no op. Stuck on 'full'. I worry that it might be the float though.

Sad sad news. We have so much for which to thank him. His contributions, style and tenacity will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace. Rich

I wanted (and purchased) a white with blue stripe because it was the first one I saw when I was a kid (the mother duckie syndrome) and fell hard. But I also thought I'd drive the car more often and thought that the Heritage livery was just too over-the-top. But if I had a second, it would be a...

Laguna Seca is my personal choice. Classic track and almost always cool weather - rare for CA and most other places in the summer. The only thing it lacks is a classic looonng straightaway, if that's what floats your boat. North of the GG bridge, Infineon is an option. Lots of elevation changes...

Thanks for the reminder and pic. He is surely missed my many. I'll be toasting him tonight as well. Great to hear that his wife is doing well. Rich

What do do? I've followed this thread closely along with many of the more troubling gauge-failure-related threads in the past. I now have a gas gauge out. I woke up the car some time ago after returning from a three-month biz trip to find that the oil-pressure and gas-gauges were no-op. After...

Silly question likely best answered by Chip. It Citgo gas sold on the east coast the same as Chevron sold on the west? Or are they unrelated? Additional question is that there is a local 76 station here in the Bay Area that also has two pumps selling Sunoco 100 race gas. Is that mixed with...

I'll likely will be there.

Does anyone run 18's front and back? I believe that at least one of the ALMS Ford GT's do.

Hey, I hope they sell it for the asking. It will raise the value of my car. On paper only. Since I'll never sell her. Ever.

Ahh, there's only one 'hand model' allowed on this forum, and we all know who he is...

If these guys had half-a-brain each, they'd be on their respective on-line forums bragging that they got a thumbs-up from a Ford GT! :)

Wow, I'd really like to get this grey one with the sky and reflective blacktop. OTOH, I'd sure like to have one that matches my white/blue-stripe car. Anyone? Rich

You make an excellent point. With cars like ours, the notion of a quick diagnosis at a local shop is very rare. And I really don't welcome the notion of the car being in the hands of inadequately trained techs. But there is a law of diminishing returns in trying to accumulate all of the tools...

Many thanks. I'll call the folks in Redwood City. I recently met the owner and he offered help. They DID screw up my car two years ago quite badly (I hope I'm allowed to say that on the forum) (and Shadowman had to spend a lot of time unscrewing it) but a plug in test seems to be within their...

Not wanting to hijack this thread but I have a related question regarding a dead/stuck fuel level gauge. It's set on 'full'. Is there a way to know if it's the gauge? The tank (ugh)? Something else? FWIW the gauge went out about a year ago (yea, I'm slow to take care of these things). About a...

That's just begging for a rebuttal here... Something about 'never having turned an ignition key...', but I'll leave that to others. :)
