x2 on WD40. I used it on my race call all the time..

Thanks for the correction ~1600lbs sounds more accurate. Still a big impact to the head. I think there are reports that Schumacher's manager said he wasn't coming back.. I'm hoping Bourdais gets a chance to redeem drivers coming from north america series....

The visor on the helmet is a weak link. It's plastic and not all that thick..good thing the spring hit the helmet and only part of the eye port. I don't think Massa would be alive if the spring had hit only the visor. On one of the reports I thought they said there was something like 15,000...

Kip, As others have mentioned, thanks for the updates! I don't own a GTX1 but I really enjoy your process updates. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the pictures and descriptions. Here's an idea for another project, like you don't already have enough going on. ;) I was thinking about...

How are these coming? Do you retain the winshield washers in the arm with the new system?

Not to highjack, but do you guys have a recommended coolant to use? Ford factory stuff or aftermarket? I ordered an airlift kit and was thinking it was time to replace the coolant and install the rad hose springs soon.

Makes me a bit queazy to see this, too much like my car. Just the brakes are different..

This probably won't help but I'll throw it out there. Does the GT have an inertia switch that needs to be reset? Other cars have a switch that trips off the fuel pump if the car gets rear-ended or hit. The relay needs to be reset in order to allow the fuel pump to work again.

I don't think they counted the mini twice, the first slide is an intro. The first car listed was the Miata.. 2003 was a good year for new car designs.. like 1967 in my opinion..

I can eliminate some of the theories. Air box isn't the source, The rubber capped springs that pop the clam aren't it, the seat isn't it. I did find that the interior trim piece at the base of the bulkhead glass is loose and can be pulled out for about 20% of the width of the glass. Could...

Good recap by Kirby. I watched Friday and saturday coverage, was kind of surprised at how many big money cars didn't reach the reserve. It was fun for me to see so many rare Fords in one place. Got'a love the HD coverage. :thumbsup

On TV tonight Just a reminder. The GT40s, Cobra and Daytona should be on HDTheater TV tonight. 6pm-10 eastern, repeat 10pm-2am

I thought I eliminated the clam latches, seals, etc. from the equation when I drove it with the clam open but hooked on the safety catches. Noise was still present. On the safety catch there isn't any torque put into the clam from the chassis flex... I haven't had a chance to look at it yet...

You guys better hope she doesn't read this and figure out where you live :biggrin. It doesn't sound like a suspension component. It sounds too high in the cabin. It does sound like the glass. I'm going to see if I can put one corner up on a jack and see if I can induce it without moving...

Thanks for the ideas! I'm pretty sure it's not the belly pans, I've heard that noise before. I'm glad it isn't rodent deposits! I'll try moving the seats but the leading contender so far is the airbox.. Seems like it would have to be a horrendous noise to get thru the glass as loud as it...

I have an annoying squeak or CREAK that sounds like it is coming from behind the passenger's head in the rear bulkhead. It's quite loud and happens whenever the car hits a bump that causes the chassis to twist. Happens most often under a diagonal load, like hitting a small pot hole on one side...

Daytona Coupe on Good Morning America. they estimate $10-12 million! http://editor.ne16.com/he/vo.aspx?FileID=75605632-330a-43e2-9677-7f535605b387&MemberID=86650673&MailID=9087375

I use the ball of my foot and roll as well. I find it very hard to practice on the street. In order for the practice to be effective you need to mash the brakes (threshold braking) and do your blip and downshift. This is awfully agressive for the street, unless there is NO ONE around. If you...

I thought I heard a quote from Fred on a TV show that the GT "made" money for Ford.

Better tune in before 8:00PM if the Daytona Coupe makes it on TV... I think this auction will be televised on DiscoveryHD channel. I'm hoping the coverage is centered around the Daytona coupe. The car before the coupe is scheduled for 7:55 PM, but auctions might not run to an accurate...
