    Not as fast as the GT, but just as much fun in its own way... 1975 Landcruiser FJ40

    Here's my 1975 FJ40. Was given to me (1987) by my dad. R required 2 years of work to get it road worthy, so i didn't actually drive it until I was 18. I've done a host of upgrades once I got a real job.. A/C Power steering 4 wheel disk brakes 4" Lift Electronic Ignition (the points were...

    Comments about your GT

    Guy in van, on passenger side yells (at stop light) "Oh...my... god... I just pitched a tent in my pants!" I could see his wife (driver) punch him in arm.

    Front Boot Tub cover cracking

    i washed mine once, and opened the boot to run off the excess water... didn't realize it would run directly into the tub. I didn't think much beyond "i guess it will dry off, it's only water." great. sounds like i have the same problem.

    Another GT gone and a path to recovery

    Yeah, you can put me in the club (minus damage... thankfully). I've had mine for 18 months (shelby elite auto for the win), at 620rwhp... put on my whipple, 715rwhp, and while going straight down an on ramp, in 2nd, at maybe 50, i rolled hard onto the throttle. I mean.. c'mon... isn't that...

    If you actually read the full story, the guy was pulled over, then hits gas and bangs into an officer, then drives off. They follow him for 17 minutes before he pulls over, only after having his tires punctured by a spike strip. Gotta go with the cops here..

    FGT Smog Check in West Los Angeles

    I don't really understand why a "special" place is needed. All they do is plug into the OBD II port if it is an OBDII vehicle, and check the fuel door. At least, that's how it is here in phoenix. I do make it a point to plug the tool in myself so the guy doesn't bend the OBD port support, but...

    What to look for when buying a GT ?

    Bought my GT from Shelby, car was precisely as represented. In fact, after it was shipped (before i received) he told me if it was not to my satisfaction, we could discuss a price move.

    reading low boost on new whipple.... accept it and move on?

    Kendall, I guess the thrust of the question was more along the lines of "is the gauge still useful at all... can i at least make "relative" judgements from it?" i.e. it says 12.5 psi, will it one morning start saying 14 psi, then the next day 12.2 psi? or is it always going to be 12.5 psi...

    reading low boost on new whipple.... accept it and move on?

    Guys, I just had a 3.4 installed along with the MAFia. The 19psi system is only reading 12.5 on my stock gauge. This is inherent to the MAFia system? Assuming this is how life is, is my gauge now "relative" vs. absolute? I.e. from now on, i just assume 12.5 psi means full boost, and if it...
