    Quick Advice Needed for VCT DTC's

    I have a 2011 GT that is exclusively a track (TT) car, and after 12 years of beating on it, I finally had an engine issue this past weekend. The car was fine for the first 20-30 min of driving, and then I noticed that the exhaust suddenly sounded louder and had a different tone. It sounded like...

    Tire Selection for NASA TT

    Just like almost everyone else in TT, I'm always looking for (relatively) easy ways to shave off a couple tenths per lap, and after finding little improvement with messing around with suspension setup, I'm tempted to reevaluate my tire selection.

    Brake Pedal Firmness Problem

    Front LCA Bushing Options

    I just found that the large bushings in my front control arms are weeping oil whenever I put load on them, so I've been looking into replacements. My car is a 2011 Mustang GT that mostly sees track use, so of course, I would prefer something stiffer. However, I remember reading about Vorshlag's...

    Oil Pressure Loss in Braking

    After a few years of lapping and constantly seeing slightly elevated lead in my oil analysis reports, I decided to add an oil pressure transducer to my 2011 GT and start logging.

    Front Roll Center Migration

    It's probably a long shot that other people have tried to measure their roll centers and are willing to share, but I'd appreciate any tidbits of knowledge that anybody would like to post.

    6-Point Harness Attachment Points

    I know this topic has been pretty thoroughly covered, but considering the importance of proper harness mounting, I wanted to get some feedback before diving into it. I'm probably being a little over-cautious, but... "better safe than sorry". I already have a rollbar and a fixed-back seat...

    Just when I thought I had my brake situation figured out... For the whole year so far, I have been doing track events using Hawk DTC-60 pads on all four corners, 3" front brake ducts, and OEM non-Brembo calipers and rotors. My pad wear has been reasonable, so I didn't have any concerns. The car...

    Somewhat Overheating on Road Courses

    Has anybody had problems with their engine getting hot during track days, road racing, etc.? The only modifications to my car (a 2011 GT) are brakes and tires, and I'm already seeing uncomfortably high temperatures on track. On the street, everything is fine. I did a lapping day at Nelson...
