Should the hard part of the line off the caliper be a angled back toward the caliper or in the direction of the engine?

Iv been working on installing a bunch of the final Steeda goodies this past week which will make my car “full Steeda catalog”. I’m a little nervous about their front adjustable end links and brake lines. First it’s appears the grease nipples would hit the back of the front shock (Steeda pro...

Started installing these today along with the posi quiet pads by ecentric, fronts went together great, rears another story. First pistons didn’t want to compress, even with line off and bleeder out. Got that solved, pistons fully compressed but with the thicker rotors & new posi quiet pads there...

Anyone on Beale AFB? I see at least a half dozen S550s rolling around Beale.

Wrong choice of words ill admit, they are strong but when they do fail, they fail in a more spectacular fashion, taking the ring/pinion/bearings and everything else with it. When a Clutch LSD fails it just stops working (open diff) but doesnt destroy the entire diff.

I have about 10k on my 2016 Torsen, Its not as linear as a clutch LSD, this is most noticiable at low speeds in tight corners such as a parking lot. It feels like the rear end is binding, sometimes you can feel the inside tire sort of hopping/skiping a bit in otherwords its not allowing as much...

I saw the video, cant say for sure but he may have been refering to the 3.31 gears were better suited than the standard 3.73s on the Torsen. Pros of the Torsen - 100% Mechanical, no clutch packs to wear out, effectively achieves full lock up under load, less heat/runs cooler=less prone to limp...

Wish I could attend, I live 45 minutes from Thunder Hill, sadly 10,000 miles away at present, wont be home till the 8th.

What do the intake valves look like for that hole? I'm still voting something got in there. passed the intake valves...sure, I had a small washer get passed the valve of a 2.8 V6 Ford motor in my Pinto Wagon mini derby car. Now in my case it didn't bust the piston, but the point is, it got past...

I'm voting object got in the chamber, which now may be in the pan.

Ford Performance spins it up to 7450 with a GT350 manifold (PP3), so id say that's what Ford Performance feels is "safe".

Has the pan been pulled? Id go through the pan looking for foreign objects...nut, bolt, washer, small socket etc.

California influances what happens in the rest of the country.

True, but didn't the power rating certification become tougher, meaning more conservative? I remember the 2005 4.0L Tacomas were rated at 245hp, a few years later after the certification changes, they were rated at 236hp with zero change to the engine or tune. So ratings 20 years ago were...

From the front it reminds me of an Datson 240z

I still find it astonishing that people can call a 400+ HP car slow! 20 years ago 400+ HP was supercar territory, Anyway yes Power Pack 2 is phenominal for what you get.

Most HPDE Schools will make you do some manuvers similar to these on a skid pad before they let you on the track. They want you to feel/experiance the limits of your car in terms of breaking and grip. In other words they make you force the car into understeer, oversteer and brake lockup/ABS. In...

Ill be back to rolling through the area every once in a while next month. Although mine looks very stock from the outside.

In N Out & Chipolte are the only fast food joints I eat regularly, regularly meaning once or twice a month.

Yeah and they would look it up via the VIN
