The car finally made it into the shop this week, balance weights were missing from the two front rims. One rim was missing two ounces of weight. I'd guess the weights came off when I hit an area of bad pot holes on an entrance ramp which has since been repaved. They rebalanced the wheels and...

Haven't had time to address it's so still driving it as is. Will update when I can look into it. Thanks

Thanks for the reply @Pentalab I looked into it some more, it looks like dealer installed scoops are tape only but factory applied scoops are tape plus either nuts/bolts or plastic body trim type clips. The only way to know for sure is to remove interior panels to look for fasteners before...

Anyone? Did a google search and found references that said factory GT side scoops actually have more than just tape, there are clips through the body in addition to tape. So if I removed them it sounds like there would be holes in the body panel. Can anyone confirm that please? Thanks

my bad. any idea about the question above?

Do they just pull off or is there a trick to it? I'm guessing double sided tape so a little heat or solvent will do the trick? Thanks!

I'm not an expert on your situation but were there any spacers in the assembly of the axle or caliper that didn't get put back in? Most of the time weird sounds are interference related and that's sometimes a spacer or shim that is extra or missing. I could be completely wrong, haven't had my...

Thanks for all of the replies These are the rims I put on. https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=F388007GB&wheelMake=FLOW ONE Race Spec&wheelModel=F3&wheelFinish=Gloss Black...

rims only have about 1500 miles on them but i'll ask them to see if they're bent when they check balance. the tires are pirellis, wold they have been on the car from the factory with them? thanks for the quick reply forgot to say, it isn't just the steering wheel, it's the whole car

I've got a '14 GT convertible with about 8500 miles, took delivery back in early December. It drives great but on the highway, above about 75 mph it starts to vibrate. A local shop put rims on it right after it arrived so I need to let them rebalance the tires/wheels but is there anything in...

Just rolled past 8000 miles, probably factory original trans fluid. It does get better pretty quickly but those first few shifts out of first are sloooowwww.

Just wondering if it's normal for the trans to be super tight between 1st and 2nd when it is very cold outside. I can go 1st to 3rd but it's tough to get it into 2nd. 2014, GT, convertible Thanks Bart

Norm, If I take a longer spring with the same basic qualities, cut it to length to effectively lower the ride height an inch or so, you think it would be the same as taking the original springs and cutting them to that same length? I don't see the logic in that. If vendors promote springs...

ha ha i thought about running the numbers. nice work.

all of these engineered solutions that claim to have basically the same ride but lower height are just a shorter version of a stock spring. and who is swapping out all four shocks when they do a 1" drop? not broke. spent four years earning a BSME so figured it would be fun to play a little.

for what it's worth, the number of coils is in the equation for Spring Constant which is usually represented by the letter k. if the number of coils is reduced, the spring constant goes up which means the spring is more stiff. so if you cut the spring it gets stiffer, not by a lot, maybe not...

i don't see how cutting springs is a ricer thing, tell that to all of the hot rodders that ever cut springs for a short drop. just wanted to ask about clearance, wasn't really looking for the other responses. thanks for the replies about clearance after the drop. the car looks so much better...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I figured cutting the springs would be more fun than buying new ones and just popping them in. @fourdegrees11 thanks for pointing out the other issues. i'll have to look into each one before doing any of the work. Thanks

Hi all, 2014 GT convertible, thinking about installing springs to lower the car 1" in front, 1.5" in the rear. Are there issues with curb/driveway or speed bump clearances with cars that have only been lowered a little bit like that? Do the spring seats allow the stock springs to be cut or is...

Thanks @redfirepearlgt I was using photos from TireRack

I can see what you're saying about the black rims and black tires. I really couldn't decide to I asked everybody and almost everyone said black so that's what we're doing. After overspending for the car I can't go crazy for the wheels so that just is what it is. I think they look good and...

We started with Vbulletin at the forums I ran but with one of the sites we couldn't get it to work with our Wordpress front page. We tried and tried and finally went to Xenforo and it turned out to be awesome. It takes a little time but after people started clicking around and starting finding...

The rims at the auto anything site weren't available in black so I bought the ones from TireRack in black. I looked at these too but they were too much. http://www.autoanything.com/wheels-rims/ssr-gtv02-wheels Thanks for the help.

Mine :) I wasn't really shopping for a white car but that's the one I got a great deal on so here I am.

wow, they get really expensive really quick!
