    Stock Brakes and Tracking

    All these responses is why this forum is so great. Thank you everyone. jlisle01 - Which kit did you go with from Quantum Motorsports? I see they have 3 available. Here's my follow-up question... Almost everyone here recommends changing the brake fluid before track days. The last time I...

    Stock Brakes and Tracking

    Hey all.. I was wondering something. How good will the stock brakes perform on the track with some upgraded pads (like Hawk for example)? I mean, will there be a noticable problem with them fading to the point it is unsafe? Or will they perform almost as good as upgrading to a "big brake...

    Adjustable Upper Control Arm Install

    Great writeup as usual Bigcat! I do have one question regarding setting the pinion angle. You said to take measurements at 2 locations: driveshaft (assuming stock) and pinion flange, then find the difference. Once you have the difference, where do you apply this difference? At the pinion flange?

    hurst short throw problems

    I had a problem with going from 3rd to 4th on really aggressive shifts. It ended up being a problem with the remote shifter design of these cars and a lot of torque. The shifter is mounted to the body of the car and not the tranny itself (as you noticed when you installed it). What was...

    Gears and Tires

    I had 4.10s in my car and loved everything about them - until I added the supercharger. The combo of the SC and 4.10s made the first 3 gears pretty useless for me. So I actually ended up going back to the stock 3.55 gears. If you remain N/A - go for the 4.10s! You will love them. There are...

    What the hell gives?!?!?

    Just like everyone else said, get a tuner and turn off the speed limiter. I compete in open road racing, and I can vouch that these cars will do 160. :flag:

    Burned out the stock clutch today

    Whoah! Sorry to hear about the stock clutch going up in smoke. I've noticed mine slipping a bit since adding the SC as well. I've already decided I will be going with the Spec Stage 2 Clutch & Aluminum Flywheel from Brenspeed when my stocker finally calls it quits. Here is a link...

    I need clutch and flywheel

    Exactly how difficult is it to replace the clutch/flywheel in our vehicles? That is one of the winter projects I have planned. It seems pretty straight forward to me. Move the exhaust out of the way, unbolt the driveshaft, drop the tranny, take out old parts and put in new ones. Am I missing...

    Recent Purchases

    I had the same experience with mine. The clamps that came with the A/T mufflers wouldn't clamp down tight enough. I went to the local hardware store and spent maybe $5 for a pair of really good ones and it fixed the problem.

    Need a New Battery - Recommendations?

    I've decided it is time to replace the stock POS battery in my Mustang. Every winter the battery drains itself as soon as the weather gets cold. I have removed the battery from the car, put it on a charger, and while leaving it out of the car it will completely drain itself within 4 days...

    5-Point or 6-Point Harness?

    Hey all - I'm looking for input as to whether I should go with a 5-point harness or a 6-point harness? The 5-point would require either drilling a hole or mounting a bracket between the front seat bolts for the submarine belt. This is easy enough. Going with a 6-point however, I could just...

    New Wheels

    I was actually just up in Omaha this last week and you are correct about the roads needing some help. The extra width up front definitely helps with overall handling. I do road racing and just in the handful of times I have tested with the wider tires up front, it makes cornering a dream. The...

    New Wheels

    Yeah, just my luck it starts snowing NOW! I knew it would come sometime, but not already!! The tires are Nitto NT555 275/40ZR18 all the way around... :) They hook up MUCH better than the stock Pirellis did and they seem to be much quieter on the highway.
