Clutch Spring, replace with aftermarket.

Owned a 350 for a little over 4 years. Engine ran great with no oil use but it became primarily a track toy and with the power train warranty about to expire, the thought of popping a $20k motor had me look for something as capable on track but with a much lower engine replacement cost so...

Another 3 trillion will be spent on the next bill. Government is spending money like a teenager who just got an inheritance or insurance settlement...pathetic

If you press the start button and wait a few seconds for the exhaust valves to cycle it will quiet down the cold start bark. I love the bark and during my ownership I would purposely beat the valves cycling so I can hear the full anger.

For track work PSC2’s don’t last and heat cycle out quickly. They stick really well but their grip drops substantially over the life of the tire. Tramlining for me was the worst with PSC2’s vs any of the tires I list below. NT01’s are noisy and only a tad less grip but stay consistent over the...

Regarding the run group comment....for some organizations and regions, which hpde group you run doesn’t equate well to how well you drive or your track awareness. It could be a real S-show out there, horrible technique, poor passing skills and delayed point-by’s. Now, for organizations such as...

Owner of the blue car got tired of looking at the front bumper design

seems like everyone is making it easy to get themselves arrested. Cops needn’t walk a beat anymore, just watch social media videos, identify the individual and arrest ‘em. I remember when I thought the internet was going to be such a useful thing to help expand people’s knowledge and bring...

On my car they updated the PCM and replaced the output trans sensor. I have since sold it but for the 1000 miles I drove it after the repair I did not have an issue.
