Michelin Pilot Super Sports or Sport 4S. These are 300 TW tires but have amazing grip in both dry and wet conditions. I got about 17.5K out of my P-Zeros. So far, the MPSS seem to be wearing better after two track days, one auto-x and an 85 mile round trip commute. And they are quiet :headbang:.

Mine was back a bit; just a small amount of fluid around the connector. Very hard to move because the hose is so tight (probably a body mount somewhere down below). I was able to move it further onto the nipple but there wasn't a click indicating a lock. Since the hose is so tight I wonder if...

SCCA Summit Point WV, PDX/TT - Oct 21/22 - Jefferson Circ.

Still have the 86. Kept the 01 Cobra until it was totaled June 2016. Tend to drive these cars and then refurbish (86) or total (01).

My factory leather Recaros are very comfortable. No sliding around on track or autocross. I find the Gs auto crossing are ore intense and more often than on track. But you give up power everything with the Recaro option; no power adjustment, lumbar, cooling/heating. They are manually height...

Done spring changes all kinds of ways. If you use a floor jack without a compressor you have to ease the jack down. If it doesn't have that kind of resolution, use a compressor. I used the two piece compressor on the s550. Jack may have been easier.

I'm a big fan of the Longacre Digital C/C gauge with quickset adaptor. You do need to place tape on the painted wheels where the off-sets touch, but the gauge itself is dead accurate and measurements are easily repeatable. The gauge itself can also be used as a angle finder too. I also use...

Couple of things. Hand position is fine as long as you don't turn the wheel. On the street, practice shuffling your hands around the wheel so you don't cross center from either direction. Keep your thumbs on the wheel ring, not around it. Relax. Both the brake and throttle are treated as...

No problems with street manners. My commute is about 85 miles round trip, mixed highway and city. Tracked the car yesterday. 2 mile course, not technical but fast. Tried to get some tire temp measurements after each run but my instructor wanted to debrief each time. By the time I checked...

I run 1/8" total toe out in the front; 1/16" total in on the rear. Camber is -2.5* front; -2* on the rear. On the front camber, Ford allows you to slot the upper strut mount hole to allow some camber (see above). This is an FS legal mod. However, by doing so messes with the KPI and throws...

The splitter says for non-PP cars. The Ecoboost PP different in some way?

Comment on KW v3. No special top mount - stock works. However, they use a proprietary spring rate which is progressive on both ends. Moreover, the springs are not conventional C/O springs. To swap over to a 2.5" Hypercoil or similar would require some mods and most likely a top mount for the...

Had a similar issue with my front bumper cover. Someone apparently bumped me in the parking lot. This "bump" dislodged the cover hear the PS headlight. There was no other damage on the cover so I thought it had just come loose. On my next service, I asked the dealer to just fix it. They...

So Ford indicated slotting the upper strut mount would provide more than 2* of camber. This is allowed for F/S. So I did the work and got 2.5* static on one side and 2.4* on the other. Toe was 1/8" out total. Handling was better so I though more static camber. This would require CC plates...

The soft spring/stiff bar is the better approach for handling. The questions are, how soft and how stiff? The idea is to allow the front to travel in compression maybe 3-4" before turnin, and than the stiff bar keeps the inside tire on the ground and fairly upright assuming proper damping...

SCCA TT/PDX at Dominion Raceway, VA Sept 16/17th.

I have two track days on my PP brakes and still lots of pad/rotor. Tires gave up first. 17k on the clock.

Really hate that ezpass mount. I generally hold the transponder in my hand until needed on my commute. Hangs from the mirror during unfamiliar routes. Car has the x-pipe resonator replacement, K&N drop in, some adjustable struts/shocks and new MPSS all around. Otherwise, "stock".

Apparently, someone banged my front bumper while parked at the office. No paint or other damage I could see, except that the cover had come loose near the PS headlight. Thought it just needed to be adjusted and reattached. Took it to the dealer as part of my routine check-up. They said the...

We are down to two now; donated the third horse due to an eye issue (nice at tax time). I also introduced her to autocross and HPDE on track events. She's hooked; drives her own car. She tells me it's like the Hunter shows, only faster. Slowly but surely, car competition is overtaking...
