    Ford brakes stink (especially when they're on FIRE!!!!!

    I took the stang to Hallet this weekend and ran my best time yet (1min 36sec). They had some driving instructors from the Porsche club of America there and I had one go with me to critique my line and driving. He helped me alot, (good) I ran my best time ever, (great) and I had alot of fun...

    HELP... Rear Pad install

    This is normal and happened to me also. The little box shaped tool that most auto parts stores sell would not fit mine. It wasn't big enough. In the end I took an old 1/2 drive socket to the grinder and made a tool myself. The piston will rotate without retracting if you do not apply enough...

    How do I do nitrous?

    Are you racing at the track? If you are then you'll need a bottle heater for sure. But remember that it takes a bottle heater a while to warm a bottle, alternately, you might want to check ebay or something and find a second bottle for track day. The bottle cools every time you spray so it kind...

    Cold weather on the brakes

    How hard was the install? Are the cables that you replaced just under the car or do you have to replace them all the way up to the parking brake handle? Mine's still under warranty but I'd rather not have the dealer messing around in my center console as that's the location of my nitrous system...

    Functional Quarter Window Scoops!

    Those are hands down THE coolest hand made mod I've seen for the S197. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! I totally understand not wanting to get into selling these but could I talk you into selling some plans? Surely you had something written down? A couple of measurements and a sketch on a napkin maybe? I'd...

    Autocross / Daily Driver setup for GT?

    Well, I can't argue with that advice. For most people (me included) a bone stock Mustang GT can drive better than they can drive it anyway. I used to think racing in any form was 90% car and 10% driver. My first day on a track, I learned the opposite was true. The goal should always be to have...

    Autocross / Daily Driver setup for GT?

    I thought the advice for a harness was mostly for the benefit of keeping the driver planted so you can work more on your driving and less on holding yourself up. Our stock seats are pitiful. I simply wanted to point out that if it's going to be done you might as well drill a hole and do it...

    Autocross / Daily Driver setup for GT?

    A good 5 or 6 point harness should be at the top of everyones list if you do any type of racing at all. However, DO NOT mount a harness to the floor! The shoulder straps on a harness can cause spinal compression injuries if installed such that they are too low compared to the drivers shoulder...

    Ford sells mustang rights to TOYOTA

    That would be a funny thing to do after Ford spent all that money to go after parts manufacturers, suppliers, magazines and shops that use the Mustang name............oh God, I'm actually posting on this thread! I only clicked on it in the first place for the laughs. By the way, your brother's...

    Eibach vs Steeda Springs

    You can not go wrong with any of these options. One thing I would recommend though is to put some thought into what you want to do with the car later. If you're just going to lower it then go with the springs that give you the drop you want. But if you're planning other suspension mods down the...

    This should be your first Mod.

    I use the HP+ pads and have no problems with using them on the street. They may require more heat than the HPS but they still work fine on the street. I switched to them after I tried the HPS and I'm sticking with them. They DO squeel and they dirty up the wheels faster too but hey, if your...

    Dallas, TX Area Need Input

    I had mine done at Dallas Mustang and was very pleased with the results. It made a noticeable difference in the wat the car drives. I'm taking the car down there this summer for an upgraded clutch/flywheel, long tubes, 4.10's, and ,of course, a new tune. Top notch customer service. No bull.

    Another Wheel thread? Why?

    Go with 18x9.5's Wrap 'em in BF Goodrich KDW's- Good ride, good traction. Cheap enough to replace every year. Check my sig, KDW's with those mods = 1.09 G's on the track.

    I feel your pain, I have the same photo probs. Please though, do post some pics somehow. I've been thinking of a small trailer for a set of track only wheels/tires and the assorted gear.

    Is it possible for any mustang to beat C6 ZO6 on a street?

    Is this question even being discussed? Come on guys! The answer is, sure, anything is POSSIBLE. Give me your mustang, two years for development, and 277 billion dollars, and I'll bring you a S197 Mustang that can fly into orbit and do Mach 23. Is it going to happen? No. Are you going to beat a...

    Hurst Shifter..."Notchamatic"

    I don't know about yours but my Hurst was as smooth as it gets before install. Didn't you try yours? I believe the notchiness is in the tranny and was always there. It's just that the shorter throw was achieved by reducing the leverage arm and that amplified the notchy feeling. I'd bet that any...

    Hood buffet at 120+MPH

    Pics are kind of hard to get in such a tight space. You might do a search. There used to be a good install thread, if it didn't get lost in the crash. Anyway, I didn't cut a hole in the lower part of the radiator support, I ordered longer pins from Summit and mounted them thru both the top and...
