Re: A Loooong trip in RF40 .

LLoyd,
The stuff works great so far and I even exceeded the speed limit a few times on the long Texas straights of enter-state highway. I wouldn't recomend going for long with it in there as the heat eventually breaks the slime up and it will leak again. It is truly just to get you whrer a repair or replacement can be done.. That little package with the slime and the compressor is very small. It's about 10"x6"x3".
Mark, I'm sure that there are other owners who have driven their GT on long trips. I'm sure they will concure that the GT is indeed a comfortable car to drive. I honestly have no issues with the seating or the visability. In fact I see all I need to see while driving on the highway. My wife generally reads a book as we travel to car shows or events and she says it's really quite comfortable. The only real complaint she has is the drone of the pipes after a few hours. I have to agree that if you travel long distances then change out the rear stinger pipes for a decent muffler. The RF now come with stainless pipes and they have really nice mufflers that have a very nice sound that is more pleasing than what I have on my car.

Tim, I have the cruise in but it is not connected. The eight barrel throttle linkage is too strong for the cruise servo and it kicks of shortly after setting. I have tried every trick I can think of to get it to work but no luck. If you know something that might help please let me know.
