    From Hankook Ventus V12 to Michelin Super Sports

    Old tires were getting thin so upgraded from Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 275/35ZR19 & 285/30/ZR20's to Michelin Pilot Super Sport 275/35ZR19 & 285/35ZR20's. The forward grip is so much better now; I can actually floor it in 1st and second gear without spinning. The Hankooks would spin through...

    2013 Reviews

    Mostly well done, except for a few some bs complaints about the solid axle, of which I'm growing weary. Automobile Driven: 2013 Ford Mustang - Automobile Magazine - Mobile Business Insider FIRST DRIVE: 2013 Ford Mustang GT Car and Driver 2013 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible First Drive –...

    FRPP Boss heads vs JPC/MMR/Livernois ported/valve job heads

    Is there a big difference in flow between the FRPP Boss heads and ported heads from the aftermarket companies? I think I remember reading that they changed the angle of the exhaust valve in the Boss heads to make them flow better. Has anyone put the Boss heads on a flowbench?

    Ford Racing Recaro seats out

    Just found out, maybe I'm behind the curve, that the FRPP Recaro seats are available for preorder at a bunch of places finally. The problem for me is that they're 2500 dollars at the cheapest place I could find and I would still have to get them covered in leather and alcantara. Just letting...

    Alternatives to FRPP Adj Handling Pack

    The FRPP Adj Handling Pack for S197s is on factory backorder until the first part of March. Ford Racing says that they are waiting on the dampers. I need a kit before then so are there any other suspension kits with adjustable dampers, single or double adjustable, for around the same price? Or...

    Skeletonized tailhousing shifter mount for MT-82

    So this is the idea. The remote style shifter in out cars causes the shift shaft to bind when the trans flexes in a defferent direction than the body the shifter is attached to. Someone should to make a tailhousing, long like the one on the t56 mag for s197's, that would bolt to the rear of the...

    A video a me sound testing at Arizona Motorsports Park yesterday. They pulled me off right away for being too loud, but it has a decent representation of how my car sounds. Slow part at first is in the pits. The finger is only on there for a second.

    Home built brake cooling ducts

    Had a shop weld some 3" exhaust pipe to the back of my stock backing plates. Hose was $55 from Summit and it is 250°F heat resistant I think. 4 clothes dryer hose clamps (only ones big enough I could find) tie it together. Only hard part was cutting out the fog light brackets. Push the fascia...
