Tonight, at a restaurant, I ran into Charles Capper, owner of Capper Ford, Williamsburg IA. He knows I have
a 500 and jokingly asked if I wanted another. He said he has a 50 mile car bought by a guy, but the father
would not put up the cash, so the sale fell through. I asked about markup & he...
I got lucky and when the oil filter snafu started, I had 2 filters on the shelf. However, when changing oil the first time, I noticed the filter cover was a little cheesy. Last April, when I first decided to order an extra cover, guys had already figured out the cover was a good way to get a...
After 2 trips to the drag strip that were total failures to reliably set the line locks, I want to put on old school solenoids at each front wheel. As long as you turn off traction control before using the manual locks, then turning it back on after burnout, does anyone know of any reason they...
If any of you Texas guys are going to this event on March 16-20, stop into the Mickey Thompson area
(main sponsor) and inquire when MT ET Street SS drag radials will be available. The whole country
has then on back order. Just wondering what's up with that.
I was looking for 12-15mm wheel spacers and the Eibach site warns that theirs are
not compatible with Magneride. What's up with that? I watched Goose17's vid on
changing to longer rear wheel bolts & really don't want to go that route.
Anyone know of a good centric 12-20mm spacer that fits a 500?
He says he's running 325/30-19 Mickey Thompson ET Street SS. Can anyone recognize
the 19" wheels? They kinda look like SVE S350, but those aren't supposed to fit. Best
shot is around the 32 sec. frame.
Made my first trip to the drag strip last weekend. For an old dude used to toggle switching the line locks, using the app menu was a disaster. Ended up turning off the traction control, doing burn-out & turning TC back on.
I was thinking it would be great if one could "hot wire" the line locks...
What are everyone's thoughts about autocrossing a GT500? As far as road courses go, I live in a black hole,
4-5 hrs away, in all directions. AutoX events are held locally by the SCCA at airports & parking lots.
I suspect that a Miata will hand me my arse, but it could be fun.
This is probably an Earl question. What is the head count of guys here who have built, in production or assigned vin cars.
In other words, of the 5000 total, how many are represented here. When you can quote numbers like that, it helps get
the attention of after market manufactures to produce...
Brook at RokBlokz needs to get a look at a GT500 to modify their GT350 rock guards to fit.
I have sent Jamie's mod link to them, but they really need to see one in person.
They are located in Orem Utah.
Your cars came with wheel locks and you should have a card in your paper work to register the code. In the past, McGard provided these locks to Ford/Lincoln and kept track of the registration. If you have a registration card, does it indicate the manufacturer and/or part number?
I want to order...

I just got my car and a couple of questions.
Do any of you experience any blurring in the interior rear view mirror at freeway speeds? My mirror seems to vibrate at freeway speed and it affects the image, blurred image.
This was posted and the...
I put mine on yesterday and am pleased with the fit & look. I think I will run with the plate off most of the time and if i get stopped, I'll explain to the officer that I forgot to put it on after the show. :blush: The base itself, hangs about 5/8" below the splitter and is vulnerable to...
