Could anyone tell me which would be the more important upgrade to do first? I'm looking to get my buddy, who works on my car a lot, something for Christmas. He runs an S197 and we are planning to do a bunch of track days and HPDE events. He has the Brembo package on his car but no brake cooling...

Has anyone gone from 3:15 to 3:55 in a 6R80 car? Is it worth the upgrade and how noticable is the difference? It's a daily driver that sees a few track days. Also, I've received a few different answers, but do I need a tune or anything after the swap? Or can I just install the 3:55 diff and...

I've been thinking about investing in some stocks while prices are low. I currently have no investments and don't know what I'm doing, but I've been looking into oil, gaming, hotels, cruise lines, etc. I'd appreciate any tips! haha

Does anyone know if the PP splitter and belly pan use more 7mm screws than the non-PP splitter and belly pan? I was plannning to install mine tomorrow and was planing to just re-use the existing screws and push pins, but I just read that the PP version uses more screws? I bought my pan and...

I'm looking to get a watch as a gift and have heard that most jewelers will give a discount on Tag watches and many of the other mid level brands. Does anyone know if it's common to get or ask for a discount when buying a watch like this at a local jeweler (or would it be considered an insult)...

Is it OK to run the stock rear pads if I go to a more aggressive front pad like the R12? Or would I have to get something like an R10 for the rear? Mostly running beginner to intermediate track days.

I took my car out for a drive and seen a Rapid Red Metallic GT500 at a stop sign just outside Philly. They look and sound even better in person. Have many of them been delivered? I wasn't expecting to see any around here for a few months. I was shocked when I got closer and seen the big Cobra...

Last year I installed a California Special Chin Spoiler, now I have Brembo brakes and want to take advantage of the brake cooling items on the Performance Pack cars. Does anyone know if the California Special spoiler will work with the Performance Pack belly pan? I'd rather not have to spend...

This past weekend I finally was able to get in some track time, and now I'm hooked. The car handled really well. My weak point seemed to be tires (stock summer Pirelli tires). I plant to start hitting the track at least a few times a year, that being said what are the most common items I should...

A few months back I bled my brakes after changing my front calipers, now whenever I press or release the brake pedal it makes a squeaking noise. I was pressing the pedal pretty hard while we were bleeding it. Could I have damaged something? The brakes feel fine, but the squeak can get annoying...

What's a good setting for Koni Yellows on the track? I keep them set about 50% for street driving.

I posted on here before about having Ford give me the OK to have my hood fixed under warranty, due to bubbling of the paint. The dealer I took it to sent pictures of the damage to Ford who later authorized the repair. However, my dealer is saying they just fix the paint and don't replace the...

I installed Koni shocks on my car a while back and set them at about 50%, now I'm planning to hit the track and was going to adjust them for the first time, but when researching how to do that, it appears you have to take the shocks off the car? Or can they be left on the car when adjusting them?

I took my car to the dealer just before the 3yr/36k warranty ran out. The car had bubbling on the edges of the hood, so they took a picture and sent it to Ford for approval. I called a few weeks later and they said Ford had approved the fix and told me to call back to schedule an appointment...

Has anyone used the 6R80 on a road course? If so, is it better to just keep it in automatic and track mode, or use paddles? I'd appreciate any tips or advice. I know the manual is generally the way to go on road course, so how much of a disadvantage will I be at with a 6 speed auto?

Which wheel or tire setup should I run for a beginner track day? I have my stock 20" foundry wheels that have 265/35/20 Pirelli summer tires or I have my 19" SVE R350 wheels with 275/40/19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. They both have about 5k miles on them, the factory wheels do have a...

Could anyone tell me if SVE and 6GR are the only companies that make R replica wheels in R spec?

I took my car in today because my bumper to bumper warranty runs out this weekend. The throttle body makes an obvious random clicking noise at idle which clearly comes from the throttle body. I've read on here that it's a common problem and they usually just replace it. Well I take it to the...

I just plasti-dipped my 5.0 badges, GT badge, and pony emblem on the grill in flat black. It turned out better than expected, the only annoying part was getting the paint out of the dots on the 5.0, not sure if covering them would have been any easier. Does anyone know how durable the paint is...

I have to take my car in for a warranty repair on a clicking throttle body, which I believe is a common issue on s550's. My engine is all stock, except for a no-tune Steeda CAI and a Ford Performance catch can on the car. They're both easy to take off, but I'm not sure where my stock air intake...
