Love the “street” version, flat crank turbo engine is an engineering marvel (boost retained with waste gates closed even when off throttle), 37 lbs of thrust from the exhaust (you’re going to see flames coming out of the pipes 🤣). I don’t have the talent to go 200+ MPH but it‘s nice to know one...

Any update on the L/R vents next to and surrounding the clamshell heated window?

What he said, stripes or no stripes, this beautiful car is a site for sore eyes, thank you Ford!!!

I purchased Kendall’s struts, much better than stock (you can “see“ and feel the quality), and what I also discovered is when back from a leisurely drive and parked under my 4 post lift, the clam shell can be opened and hold position at less than full extension (I open it about half way for...

Thanks Kendall-

Gents, a weld on my Heffner muffler cracked (see picture below), repaired now (not an easy fix, since the whole muffler required removal, coating sand blasted, welded, and recoated- more on that later in this post...). With remote support from Kendall I was able to remove the muffler. (Thank you...

Good choice and congratulation! Greedy overage and you ain’t kidding, one Porsche outfit wanted MSRP x 2 and “suggested” I purchase a floor model Carrera S from him while I wait for the GT3, I asked him if he knows someone that can tile the Pacific ocean :rolleyes:

They make nice cars, but,…, they don’t make them available to the average mortal (unless you’ve bought a million Porsche already, or you’re one of Ferdinand’s siblings). I’ve been after a GT3 Touring manual for over a year with zero luck.

Suggest a new battery if yours is 3+ years old, Red Top group 25 Optima, they’re a hit and miss after Johnson Controls (now Clarios) moved the factory to Mexico, my last one lasted 13 years, changed mine for same a couple of weeks ago (wasn’t experiencing any gauge issues, but 13+ years, it was...

Grp 25 install complete while the factory cigarette lighter charger plugged in (so no need to reset smog monitors- Thanks Kendall !), picture of the installed grp 25 and the removed grp 35 below, notice the covered side terminals on the grp 35, not a big fan of the side terminals so close to...

Negative on the label swap (no pun intended :giggle:), I'll remove and see if there are side terminals as I belive the 35 has them in addition to the top terminal. Here's a picture of the group 25 to be installed tomorrow (on a maintainer now to ensure 100% charge before install).

Thank you, the mystery now is why in tarnation I replaced it with a group 35? Anyone knows a good Neurologist?🤣

Are you guys sure it’s group 25 and not group 35? I picked up a group 25 but when I started the swap I discovered the existing one to be group 35.

Congrats on the FGT, you’re going to fall in love- Easy on the gas pump nozzle as you insert it in the fill hole, the plastic “flapper” is finicky and prone to cause issues.

A mix of distilled water and your favorite all purpose cleaner in a quality spray bottle, ratio is proportional to the dirt level. Spray as needed and where needed, let sit for a few and wipe off with a micro fiber towel, suggest to get the Costco yellow MF towels, they’re relatively...

I think there will be a reckoning one day for Lithium and Graphite.

Not ignorant at all. The largest marketing scam perpetrated on humans is the electric car. I’m no genius, but I think mining the Lithium, producing and disposing of the e-cars have greater negative enviro impact then gasoline powered cars. The geniuses in Cali want to ban the sales of gas...

I found this TSB:

Requesting a ruling from the experts here on the steering fluid spec please. The shop manual shows Mercon Multi Purpose (ATF Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX, local Ford dealer says any transmission fluid will work :cautious:. There's no XT-2-QDX spec on the Mercon V bottle?

Regarding the factory air filter unit, I read on this forum that it is the same as the 2006 Ford Taurus air filter? And is it 2 pieces for the FGT? Thanks.
