    05-07' Camber Bolts

    I have the Tokico's also. The real question is why did a $500+ set of aftermarket adjustable struts not come slotted in the first place!

    Wilwood Big Brakes?

    I'm very happy with my Brembo's but if I won the lotto next week I'd plop down the visa card and order a set of AP Racing brakes. From what I've heard, their 6 piston front/ 4 piston rear setup will make your nose bleed. Of course, if you haven't won the lotto, they'll make your wallet bleed...

    What Brake Fluid Should I Use?

    I assume you're going to be tracking the car. I use Motul RBF600. Great stuff at a reasonable price and with it's higher wet boiling point, if I skip a track bleed or two I don't have to sweat it. Not trying to highjack your thread but could you clear something up for me? Do your GT500...

    Are you sure it's one piece? Doesn't look like it in the pic.

    Stock Brakes and Tracking

    I wouldn't feel bad about using the Ford Heavy duty fluid at all. For a DOT4 fluid it's wet boiling point isn't too good, but out of the can it's dry boiling point is among the best. Actually, a lot of road racing teams use the Ford HD fluid (even teams who race those bow tie cars) because it is...

    Stock Brakes and Tracking

    I installed the cooling ducts I have before the Quantum kits were available so I actually have a pieced together kit that consists of the bumper inlets from a Steeda kit (which is total crap by the way) and rotor ducts from Quantum. I'd go with the in-between (race) kit. The only difference...

    Stock Brakes and Tracking

    I'll +1 Mr_Q's advice. The stock brakes are simply not adequate for road course duty. Trust me, I know, I brought my car in with the left front wheel in flames! You WILL get fade and as your lap times decrease the problem will get worse. However, if you must stick to the stock setup then I would...

    Strut-Tower brace for 07 GT - Plenum Cover

    You may consider the extra clearance STB from Strange Development. That's what I'm using. It does rub the hood liner but has plenty of clearance over a plenum cover. My hood liner was rubbing on my midwest cover and since mine is one of the custom painted ones that was a big no-no...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    Here's some more pics of the harness bar. I'm sorry I didn't get more of the lap belt mounting points but that would mean removing the seats. Here's the hardware from the stock shoulder belt mounts. Here's the view from the back seat with bar in place. Here's the lap belt mount...

    Question about the NEW Mustang

    Think of it this way, if they ditch the v8 we'll all have one of the last "real" Mustangs! I can't see it though. Three dollars a gallon or not, Americans still love a car with CAHONAS, comprende?

    Need Suspension Help

    I don't know any one who has cut their springs. Sounds like an idea that should be flamed to me. Have you explored other options? Maybe someone makes some kind of a clamp that could be used to pull two coils of the spring together? I don't know but there has to be some option better than cutting...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    Yes, I changed the fuel filter. Sorry, I forgot to list that. And no, I haven't noticed a change in power, just the fuel mileage. Maybe it's time for a new O2 sensor? Of course, I really do beat mine to death. I did a total of eleven track days last year, about 90 miles on track for each day...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    I ordered the bar from evasive motorsports. The part number is 30012. http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EM&Product_Code=30012 I used G-Force camlock harnesses. The cam locks are definitely worth the extra coin. Much quicker and easier to use...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    You know, my '05 has 36000 miles on her now and I'll be damned if I can get the mileage up where I used to. Seems like 27 to 28 is the best I can do and that's at 5 under the speed limit, no AC, baby it from every stop, ect. I used to be able to push it up over 30MPG. (although it did require...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    Sorry guy, I've been so busy and those pics slipped my mind. I'll get 'em the next time I'm home. The sparco bar and belts are the big ticket items. If you get six point harnesses then you should be able to mount the crotch straps to the front seat mounts with the hardware that comes with the...

    STREET RACERS PLEASE READ THIS

    Thanks guys, I've met lots of great people through cars. On forums, at car shows and HPDEs and autocrosses, car guys just seem to be a good group of people everywhere I go. He was one of them. Maybe some good will come of the whole thing. I sincerely apologize to anyone who feels offended. I...

    STREET RACERS PLEASE READ THIS

    I'm not really sure exactly what happened and the guy who knows for sure is gone. He was traveling in convoy with a couple of people and I think he just got on it a little. His wife was at the back of the group and she got to watch him go off the road and get killed. Hell of a thing. And for...

    STREET RACERS PLEASE READ THIS

    I hate to be a party pooper but here goes. On Jan. 28th my brother in law was out driving, lost control of his car, crossed the center median and hit a SUV going the other way on the interstate. His car, an '04 GTO, was ripped in half and he was ejected from the car despite the fact that he...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    I'm not really ready to step up to slicks yet. My best time is still a good four seconds slower that the car is capable of and I'd like to be as good as the car is before I step up to track only tires. Then there's the issue of how to get them out there.

    How to modify for Road Racing

    Thanks Northy, that's good info. I've spoken to Robin before about front alignment settings. He told me that if I wasn't in the two's I wasn't running enough. I'm just not sure my street tire equipped and mildly modified car needs as much as those guys do. That does kind of give me a ballpark...
