Very funny. Of course, then I'd have to kill the cat for walking around on my car.
By the way, I've had the best luck (over many years), with a bowl of open mothballs under the engine, along with a small mothball packet under the seat and in the trunk. I began this after discovering leftovers...
Just stumbled across your entry. I also gave up on Beith, not wanting to sign on with yet another vendor who would delay production and shipping (as I was experiencing with SoCal Garage) and also fail to communicate. I went with Vivid Racing. I've been waiting nearly three months, tho' they...
I finally ordered from Vivid Racing, but can't yet attest to the quality. SoCalGarage continued to ignore my emails (including the one in which I finally canceled the order) until I filed a dispute claim with my credit card company (who were more than a little willing to cancel the charge...
Wow, you're a better man than I for taking this on yourself. My understanding is that the tools are pretty basic, as is the overall job. But there are plenty of tricks (when and where to apply heat, for example) that I would never know, and would only discover the need for later, after...
I LOVE the encouragement to drive mine in the winter (on the right tires, of course)! Just be sure--any of you who are looking at winter wheels--to stay away from 3-piece. It didn't occur to me, until I had chronic problems with air loss, that 3-piece wheels are likely to corrode at the...
Nah, I don't do tracks anymore (except to watch). Too old, I suspect. And I've missed every auto show, Porsche event (my other car) and race I had registered for at the beginning of the year!
I couldn't agree more about the stock tires. I hated mine, mostly for the tramlining. Felt downright dangerous to me (on the other hand, I'm old) on anything but a billiard-smooth surface. I went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 in 255/40ZR19 and 275/40ZR19, and couldn't be happier. Cured the...
Thanks for the tip, and the great photos. I'm now in my seventh month of waiting for the wheel I ordered from SoCal Garage. My experience with them is the opposite of what you described with Beith. The first wheel they sent (after 75 days) was for the wrong car. They promised to make it...
VERY nice. I'm on the same quest. I've found that neither Alea nor Roadwire have kits for the Shelby GT350 Recaros, but Katzkin and Leather.com both do. I'm having the greatest problem with finding a shop (anywhere near central IL) to order and install them. Where are yours from, and who did...
I certainly understand why you are so drawn to this deal. All I can say is that I bought a 20th anniversary edition (one of 1200 or so GT350s built in the spring of 1984, although it was only an emblem model with no substantive changes). I got a great deal, I thought, right off a showroom. I...
Yeh, me too. Dead as a doornail on Saturday, after not being driven for several days. Even more importantly, I think: I hadn't taken it out of town since I bought it in January, with no trip more than 3 miles. I think it never got a chance to be recharged (from driving) since sitting on the...
I couldn't agree more. I have the same one, except in the very dark charcoal. Love the feel and the quality of the finish. I just had the recall done on mine (2018 GT350), but don't notice much difference. This one-lb. know DOES make a little difference. I also have one of the handmade (and...
