    Thinking about S550... will any of my S197 wheels work?

    Currently I have a set of AMR 18x10 +45, and a set of Enkei PF01 18x9.5 +35. Thinking about an S550 (non-PP) but it would be nice if I could keep my wheels. Will either set work? Thanks, Jim

    05-14 Bilstein front struts 299 local pickup only (OH)

    LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. Located in Dublin, OH. $299 OBO Bilstein front struts for 05-14 Ford Mustang. I had these on my 11 GT but they will fit any 05-14 Mustang. These were on my car for less than a year and most of that time it was sitting in the garage. Under 4k miles on the setup. These will...

    Any hillclimb people here?

    Hey all, I have heard mentions of hillclimb events more and more recently. I have never been to one and have not been able to find info on any in Ohio (using Motorsportreg). Can anyone share experiences? Is it kinda like a mix between road rally and autocross? Any tips on finding local events?

    Build thread: Jack of all trades

    Hey everyone. Been a member here for awhile now but never got around to making a build thread. First a little bit about myself... I've always been a car guy, and wanted to get into road course racing since my middle school shop class teacher let me be his pit crew on a SCCA VW GTI he ran. I...

    Anyone done brake ducts with a 11-12 GT front bumper?

    I'm talking about the standard, non-California Special lower fascia. I am on a budget and was wondering if anyone has jerry-rigged some ducts wiht the standard fascia? If so, please post up some pics. Thanks!

    Whiteline rear sway bar

    Hey corner carvers, I recently had an issue with my Whiteline RSB, one of the U-bolts that secures it to the axle got its threads stripped. Whiteline sent me a replacement very quickly (and at no cost) - but I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or if it is due to some "user...

    Adjusting end links on Whiteline rear sway bar

    Hey guys, I searched but did not find anything on this. I am going to be setting my bar to the 2nd or 3rd hole in a few weeks for autox season, and was wondering about the end link length. As I understand it, the best practice for adjusting preload (front or rear) is: 1) Put weight in...

    Put a golf cart battery in my 5.0, saved 24lbs for $70

    Hey fellow corner carvers, Just wanted to share my experience as I don't see much talk of lightweight batteries around here. Thanks to this thread I decided to finally get around to installing my old Deka ETX9 7lb battery from my old Miata, which had been sitting in my basement on a trickle...

    Sway bar adjustment procedure?

    This may be a noob question, but I was wondering what is the best practice for adjusting your sway bars. I have heard they need to be torqued when loaded, so that would mean driving the car up on ramps since it's pretty low. Is this right? 1) Drive on ramp 2) Disconnect bar from current hole...

    07-09 GT500KR Front Brake Cooling Duct Kit M-2004-A $139.99

    http://www.buyfordracingfromdpm.com/shelby-gt-500kr-brake-cooling-kit/ Aside from not including the cosmetic bezels for intakes, can anyone tell me a reason why I shouldn't jump on this deal and adapt it to fit my 2011 GT? Seems like a killer deal, even if it's only 2.5" diameter. Also, for...

    AMR 18x10 measuring closer to 18x11 - is this normal?

    Hey all, I jumped on the AMR deal last week and ordered up a set of the 18x10 rims after confirming they are the right offset and should fit all four corners. I test mounted them today and they had quite a bit more "poke" than I was expecting for a 48 offset rim. So I broke out my trusty old...

    The more I read about sway bars the more I think they are unneccessary

    Hey all, I think, like most others, I fell victim to the marketing of sway bars and thought they "increased grip by reducing body roll". They were my first mod on my 350Z, before I even did coilovers. When I read explanations like this and this, I am starting to realize if you have the right...

    New guy in Ohio - 2011 GT

    Hey all. Just posting to introduce myself as I've been reading a lot here for around 2 months waiting for my membership to be approved.
