  1. It's been a good run!

    Good woman you got there...
  2. Highest mileage ecoboost and long term durability

    Nope...still my daily driver. Took it to the track 5 times this year, though. Just passed 112,000 miles on my way to work this morning. I have a bad driver's side rear wheel bearing that I plan on replacing over the holiday weekend. As much as I love it, to be honest, it's not a great track...
  3. Parking brake stuck on

    I will have to try this. Replacing the parking brake cable on one side of the car did not completely fix the problem. Thanks.
  4. Mustang V8 vs Ecoboost

    Yes Please. More pictures, more details!
  5. Mustang V8 vs Ecoboost

    Do you have a build sheet? I would love to know what all you have done to this car.
  6. Oversteer or Rotation?

    yes. I stand corrected.

  8. Oversteer or Rotation?

    Your point is well taken and maybe I mis-stated how this is working for me. I am exploring car control. At some point I hope to change to a grippier tire, but still maintain the same car control and dynamics, that's where I'll find real speed.
  9. Oversteer or Rotation?

    Sliding is actually faster. Understand that there is a distinction. We're not talking about the wild power-slides frequently seen on Top Gear or Ken Blocks Gymkhana with wheels spinning and clouds of tire smoke. But a well controlled 4 wheel drift. The 4-wheel drift can actually be a faster...
  10. Highest mileage ecoboost and long term durability

    Something happened on the way to work this morning... I bought the car new from a dealership in February of 2015 and she has been my daily driver ever since. I have loved this car the moment I bought. She's just gorgeous. In 2016, I took her to a road course, the first time for me in any...
  11. Rotors&Pads vs Brembo upgrade

    I do not have my old calipers. I had to return them for a core charge. I changed the front pads at least 4 times over the life of the car, and there was always some difference in the inside to outside pad wear. Nothing that I found alarming, call it 10%-20% difference. I'm pretty sure that's...
  12. Rotors&Pads vs Brembo upgrade

    Oohh...Pretty. You will be thrilled. Totally worth the time, effort and expense.
  13. Rotors&Pads vs Brembo upgrade

    My real world experience is that there is no discernible issue with using the non-PP brake master cylinder. Multiple track days without a single issue and these were fairly high speed tracks like Mid-Ohio (127mph) and Gingerman (119mph). I can say with an amount of certainty that swapping the...
  14. Rotors&Pads vs Brembo upgrade

    I did not need the PP master cylinder. Works just fine. There may be a minute difference between the to, but to my experience, I can't tell if there is any greater effort with the non-PP master cylinder.
