Yet another update: I did what davekro did about carving off some foam, but I used a belt sander w/ 50 grit belt to "sculpt" away the foam. It works great!! Just put one rod in your bench vise and go to town w/ the sander. Using the blue tape to mark your extents is also a good idea. Also...
Anyone use Rimsavers? I've seen photos of 911's with the body color matching rim saver strips. Mostly blue, reds and greens. They look pretty good on the ones I've seen. Wonder what my grabber would look like w/ blue rim savers?
Do they "save" the rims if you brush a curb? Do they look "cheesy"?
What are the problems w/ a 2017 GT tranny? Someone told me the MT82 is only rated for 400ish HP. Any truth?
I've only driven my '17 2k miles and only a few really fast hard shifts 1-2 & 2-3. I've missed 3rd a couple times while hard accel and seems like I didn't push it hard enough into 3rd so...
Does the oil change reminder have to be manually reset? Reason I ask is I bought my car w/ 16.8K and the dealer said he had it changed before he sold it to me. I've logged 2K miles since Jan. '19 and my oil reminder said I have 9% remaining. The oil still looks good on the dipstick. I only...
Been toying w/ this idea (don't tell my wife!): Found a local '15 GT Premium Non-PP 6spd man. car w/ 91k miles & cheap- $17k. In the ad photos, car looks good, has been lowered, axle-back exh, aftermkt wing, interior looks good etc. I think it was someone's DD here in the DFW area that logged...
I can relate to your manifesto, although I am a mere 1st time muscle car owner (if you don't count the 84 Dodge daytona turbo as a muscle car). I agree 100% about living where you can get out on good roads. I live in DFW and can get out on some decent roads, but much rather be able to drive my...
Also the PP comes w/ the Torsen 3.73 rear end vs. 3.55 on non-PP. They say the radiator is larger, although I can't tell by looking at it. I would prefer to stay w/ the 3.55 for slightly better mileage and lengthening out the gears a little, since it's not going to track (well, maybe once or...
LOL! I'm just a noob here trying to figure out what I want to do w/ this car. I have staggered 20" 9"/10" Niche wheels with Toyo Proxes 4plus all-seasons 255/275-35's so if I were to put new tires that would be good for summer driving AND decent track tires- what would work? Or, are my wheels...
What is best tire &wheel size combo for running on a big track? Assume staggered on '17 GT PP that is a fair weather driver only w/ occasional track running. Assume Firestone Indy 500's.
The 1st owner, I'm pretty sure, had an aftermarket trunk woofer but removed before he sold it. There is large gauge red wire + a small black wire w/ audio jack that I found tucked under the trunk floor. If this is woofer wire, I want to put one back in. I've thought about a JL Audio (~$800- too...
