New owner from the Philippines...

[doliva]

Hello....Ford GT owner here from the Philippines. Car is finally home. Been lurking around this forum for awhile and i'd have to say its very informative. almost anything i need to know bout the car can be found here. :wink Got an '05 white with blue stripe (with all 4 options) FGT...kenne bell SC upgrade, accufab Xpipe exhuast, SCT tune, throttle body upgrade....other small goodies. ill post more pics soon....

anyhow i was wondering if anyone knows what kind of touch up paint can be used for the engine? the paint on mine chipped off after having it cleaned. they must have used the wrong solvent and scrubbed too hard. oh well....:confused

i did some research and VHT high temp has some spray on aerosol cans with various shades of FORD specific blue. I wonder if any of them will match perfectly. the dealers dont seem to have any touch up paint for it.

oh and if anyone knows what supercharger oil can be used for the kenne bell SC. had a slight leak and sealed it well...just need to top it up with oil. its a bluish-green colored oil.

thanks in advance. :biggrin

JUST REMEMBER WHEN YOU GET IN/OUT OF THE CAR THAT 40% OF IT'S ROOF STAYS WITH THE DARN DOOR!!!!! My guess is you'll only forget that fact ONCE!:rofl :thumbsup

OK, you've got me. What part of the engine is painted blue besides the valve covers? I can't make out what part of the car the picture represents.

Hahaha! Only in my dreams my friend. :wink although driving the GT here in the Philippines is awesome. We have elevated platforms that stretch a couple of miles that we can just let it rip without having to worry about cops or speeding.....YET. Sunday mornings are when all the cars come out to play.

Ugh....tell me about it :ack Such an inconvenience parking in tight spots. Hehe. Its the price we pay for the life we choose. :wink

Its like an "express" overpass. You pay at a toll booth (it costs 3x the price than if you were to take the normal road) but its less congested there. Here is a video of me doing a pass one sunday morning. :biggrin
