    Front splitter replacement

    Be aware they are pretty big. I could measure the box if you need accurate info, but I'd guess the box is 5' x 2.5' x 0.5' .

    I understand better now. The relative expense of the restoration to them is not a factor at all. I guess I'm more pragmatic than sentimental. People are different, no surprise there. Is there really a life experience gained by paying someone to restore the car? If you did it yourself I would...

    Nice article, I enjoyed reading it very much. I'm not sure I understand the sentimentality toward a car. I could never spend ~$140k to restore a brown targa. Yikes. The car did turn out nice in the end.

    New Track Day Car

    Good decision. I went thru a similar decision after I saw someone ball up a GT at a Shelby event at Road America a couple of years ago. Retired the GT from the track and bought a 993. I think the whole car is less $ than a fender and a headlight on the GT. Now I need to get back to the track.

    Anyone use Einszett German Car products ?

    I recommend Gummi Pflege on the rubber weatherstripping. It really works! Also recommended by BMW. I used it on old wiper blades and they seem to be rejuvenated. Have also used cockpit premium and have the same results as Fracman.

    F1 Austin

    What did you guys think of the race? I thought it was great! A bunch of passing through out the whole field! I was very worried when I first saw the layout. Every long straight ends in a very tight corner of more than 90*. I figured they would never be able to pull off a pass if the inside...

    Help with an annoying noise

    Yes, we did fix it. We had a get together in wisconsin a year ago, and the GT guys figured out, in my case the cross braces bolted to the rear bulk head were the source. Just loosen the bolts, adjust the supports so they didn't rub anywhere, and re-tighten. It seemed like there was a small...

    A/C blows hot then cold

    When I first read about this problem I was thinking it was a stuck blend door. Not sure if it is, but its another theory for you see this: http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?23632-HVAC-amp-what-could-be-the-issue&highlight=blend+door or do a search on "blend door" good luck

    Any news on gauge failures?

    I have another hypothesis, although I think the "low use", and "dead battery" theories have merit as well. Do the people with gauge failures, typically push the start button "before" or "after" the gauge needles cycle when first powered up?

    GT Guys in SE Wisconsin

    Thanks for setting this up Mike. After seeing your pristine Silver 05, I was motivated to detail my engine and wax the car today, looks nice and shiny again. Thanks Rich, I think the bar adjustments resolved the creaking window. I haven't heard the noise since we tinkered with it! What a...

    Porsche GT3 and Ford GT testing for Pirelli Driver's Cup

    Since the GT never pulled away, I suspect the Porsche would have had a faster lap time if it was in the lead... Nice flames on the GT!
