    Race Seat and Harness Mounting

    For those you with racing seats, what did you guys use as a mounting solution? I recently bought a OMP WRC racing seat, with side mount brackets. I believe that the Sparco floor bracket will work, but here's the thing: I have a track day on the 27th, and shipping to Canada is slow as all hell...

    Performance Oriented Front Fasicas?

    Had a bad day at the track. I took off my front bumper on a rain soaked corner. Perhaps a little too much confidence... The hood took a hit. Bumper support got a scratch. I got lucky. I'm shopping for a new front end, maybe a hood. New undertray would be nice, mine is gone. What do you guys...

    Open Track @ River's Edge

    Just a video of my final (6th) session of the day at the River's Edge, our local 1.4 mile, 9 turn road course. The last session was the shortest, the rest were roughly 20 minutes long. I have to figure out how to cut down the videos for youtube. My car setup is as follows: Intake/Canned tune...

    Brake Dive

    Hi guys, I had my first outing on the open track with DTC-70/60 pads, and brake ducts. Holy shit, those are some powerful brakes, kind of difficult to get used to, as they seem to engage abs with little effort. One thing I am noticing is quite a bit of "snaking" from the rear end of the car...

    Enkei RPF1 18x10, hub-centering rings.

    Hi guys, I just picked up a set of RPF1s, in 18x10, +38mm offset. My question is, do they require hub-centering rings? Also, will my factory lug nuts work? Thanks in advance.

    Hi guys, I need your advice on a problem I'm having....I got an alignment done, and now when I turn the wheel all the way to the right and go in reverse, I can hear a pop/clunk that wasn't there before. I can only hear the sound when moving at parking speeds, never on the freeway or during...

    Volk Racing RE30 18x9.5 +35

    Anybody have these? I think they'd look pretty good on a Mustang, I'm wondering if they'd fit well with that offset.

    H&R Race Vs. Steeda Comp. Springs

    I've been reading up on these two particular springs, but I can't for the life of me decide which set to get. My car is being driven less as a DD on the street as time goes on, I only have 21,000 KM on my 2007 Mustang GT, with the past few hundred km involving me driving to auto-x, the track...

    285/40/18 in front?

    Hi guys, I'm planning to run in the STU class in autocross. Maximum tire size limit is 285mm wide, and a treadwear rating of 140. I wish to run equal size tires front and rear. Are there any fitment issues with having a 285 wide tire on the front? I plan to lower my car with Steeda Sport springs.
