Agreed. Lost my last fastener nearly two years ago. Not having them makes it a lot faster to lift the lid for tech at events.

Two sets of Rhino Ramps - one older non-nested and one newer that nests. These things are at least 10 years old and have been used on multiple cars/vans/trucks. However, the lowered cars cannot drive up on them. So I raise the car and slide them under. Work fine even with wide tires...

Thanks for your service. If you are looking for a collector, then keep in mind that you'll likely need to park this thing for a long time in order to see any ROI. If uniqueness is the issue, well it is unique. My tastes run to the understated so this rig is not something I'd want.

Interesting. I had a custom invisible hitch built for my 86 vert. Similar in design except the receiver is angled rather than vertical. The angle is supposed to transfer the back and forth load better. Was designed as a class 2 unit. Still completely hidden until the ball insert is...

In my case, I started in hotrods and kept one all through the years no matter the need for sedans, vans, etc. In some cases the hotrod was "newer" but generally it was a typical "work on it to keep it running" affair. The thing for me is, I raced these hotrods all the time. As time went on...

Just under 29K on my Magnetic 2016 GT PP. I had the 3M film installed within a week of purchase. Had the bumper cover, leading 10" of the hood, fenders to match, mirrors, and door edges. Car was a daily for its first two years on an 86 mile round trip of mixed highway/local. Car has been...

Regarding the different sized M/C, Ford did this with the sn95s between base, Cobra and Cobra R. The race guys didn't like the softer pedal feel so Ford changed the M/C size to give more feedback. The bias was the same even though rotor size and piston caliper sizes/number changed. Mustangs...

I suggest purchasing some double adjustable dampers and work with what you have. The factory damping settings are at best a compromise with stock pieces. Lowering springs regardless of rate changes = toe out and negative camber with no other changes. This should be optimized with an alignment...

Your T/C may take exception with the different sizes. I once ran a 255/40/17 on the rear with and 245/45/17 on the front and the T/C engaged under certain conditions. This was an 01 Cobra. That may have been too much difference for that older design.

If you're a noob on track, the stock EB brakes are fine. You have already upgraded the stuff that is affected by heat - 2-piece rotors, fluid, hoses (this is debatable). Your instructor has to develop trust that you know how to handle the car. Thus, s/he will likely have you brake early which...

"Budget" suspension is not a good idea - especially C/Os. If you decide to swap out your dampers, pick quality which is generally not in the budget category. If you are looking for a drop, try to find used springs if budget is the issue. These cars are not that old so used springs should not...

Almost 28K on my 16. Was a DD; all season; sat outside. Open tracked, auto crossed. Spun out, hit rev limiter a lot, engaged anti-lock; did burn outs. I tried but no rattles, odd sounds, paint issues, etc. I don't understand.

Congrats. Always nice to be debt free. Now use that payment money to build a 6 month emergency fund - unless you already have one. Then go into the stock market with it. Stock market historical return is pushing 10% annually. For my '16, I took the zero interest Ford offered and put the...

June 2016 - June 2018 DD all season (retired now). 86 miles round trip commute mixed highway and street. 24MPG on average. Last weekend I filled the tank and drove to Summit Point, WV, for some racing. When I got there (roughly 120 miles) was getting 29 MPG. By the end of the day, I was...

What does "better" mean? In a race environment, the brakes must shed a lot of heat especially where big, sticky rubber is involved. Those brakes must also apply pad pressure as evenly as possible across the rotor's face for optimal contact and wear. BBKs are meant to address both issues with...

Or whose credit is so good they offer zero % interest. None of my money at risk - unless the market counts. First Vett at 18 - a '60 with a 327, headers, ported heads, 4.11s and two 4s. Insanely fast with drum brakes and skinny white-walls. Not a crisis on the horizon. Just seems to stay put...

I too like the MyColor feature. I suspected the digital readout wasn't on a sensor, but thought the GT350 center stack would be. Those two make it a no-go for me. Thanks for the info.

Great idea. I track mine and can use the gauge on the dash rather than the one in the digital display. Is this a Ford Racing product?

Mighty Vac FTW.
