We use that Dawn Platinum Plus Powerwash dish spray on skillets to presoak for a while. For the car, when I want some dish soap, I just diluted some with water and put in a spray bottle. That way I can thin it out quite a bit. I also did that for diluted rubbing alcohol. Sometimes 409 cleaner...

Obviously if you want true cooling you need vent area. So you will have to cut out the windows and drill the fastener holes. Most any tool will work, and it is easier than it would appear. You just have to work up the courage, lol. This thread, Hood side vents , picks up with my design from...

I am not qualified to post in this thread, lol. But... 1) The appearance of your car is very important in the decision. Magnetic on a '350? Ugh, no thanks. HEP? Yes, please! 2) If DD and no track, then I also would not want the lowered R.

Cleaned the track wheels, one week after track day. Wash station Rinse and dry station Result

Okay I'm confused. You went from a GT350R that you were modifying a little for track duty to a "GT350 Based Race Car". So what exactly did you gain? More track mods that were already installed?

I designed a 7 louver side hood vent and it extracts quite a lot of heat. The front hood corners are a relatively lower pressure zone and so that is a good location. Other than the surface mount and fasteners it looks oem because it replaces the fake original vents. I made a couple extra sets in...

Love Tarminator. Has a few uses. Spotted it at Harbor Freight

I hate tire shine, tire dressing. And I hate shops that assume everyone likes that crap. They apply it without even asking! And expect me to compliment and thank them for it. What a time consuming pain to get it off. I've used this with satisfactory results:

Which width is that?

Well, braking is not the first thing instructors teach. It's something to work up to methodically. At Gingerman I went into the advanced group on the second day. Had an instructor said he could vouch for me just from following behind me in the Inter group. But I invited him to ride with me in...

And wifey found me the perfect cap to match my Poor Man's McLaren #5.

I've lived near Indy for 24 years and I finally made it to the IMS museum. The displays are fabulous. Penske has a dedicated gallery room and they just opened a huge Jeff Gordon gallery with lots of his Cup cars. Place is first class. Mark Donahue car

Yep that's the place, and maybe it was me talking them up. We take both our Fords there, a 40 mile trip. Eric Cayton is the service department manager. A Car Guy's Car Guy. He personally changed my tires for me once. Matched online price for GT350 brake upgrade. Lent me his Catalyst. A real...

Yeah, once you get pretty good at it. Surprising how I catch up to obviously faster (bc lighter) braking cars in the brake zone. So much fun. And I wonder if they are surprised too!

Yep, for my Catalyst...
