Hey all, I've tried reading everything I can find here, and I just keep getting more and more confused. I'm looking to upgrade my stock PP shocks and struts. I run about 1 autocross event a month, and this is my daily driver. I plan on slotting the struts before installation, and will be...

The other day I was working on some projects in my garage, and I had the Mustang out in the driveway. I noticed a small puddle in the middle of the floor. At first I figured it was just AC condensation dripping, but then I remembered I hadn't run the AC at all that day. I checked, and it was...

FAST is the autocross club in Tampa, and they hold an annual school for their members. I'm not a member, but I was able to whine and cry enough about it that they let me in just to shut me up. :lol: School is this coming Saturday. Gates are open from 7:15-7:30, and it's a good 2 hour 40...

Like the title says, do you leave your engine running in between runs? The last time I was out it was about 98 degrees, and I was worried about just shutting down the engine. Plus my son was also driving my car so it was not sitting still very long. I was opening the hood most of the time, but...

2 weeks ago I went autocrossing, and on my last run I wiped out coming around the last corner, going off the course with my 2 right wheels, with the back end coming around to the right. Just a case of being dumb and pushing too hard at the end. I guess my front wheel kicked up gravel, and the...

I just tried to plasti-dip my badges, but with black Rust-oleum Peel Coat. I had seen it at a auto-parts store and figured if it was Rust-oleum, it must be good! Wrong So I masked off the side and the rear emblems, and put 5 good coats of gloss black Rust-oleum Peel Coat on. I followed...

Mods - please delete - I posted in the wrong section.

I wanted to save my PP wheels and tires for autocross, so I bought a set of DD 19x9 wheels from Optimum Performance with Cooper Zeon RS3A's. I really like them - I liked the PP wheels, but there are so many out there I wanted something a bit different. Of course the GF preferred the black PP...

I've watched a couple videos on removing the resonator and adding an X or H-pipe, but it seems like in all of these videos they are removing the entire exhaust system from the cat back. Is it possible to install an H-pipe with the mufflers in place? I'm going to be doing this solo, so I won't...

So I've been reading through this section for the last couple days, and I just can't seem to get a clear answer to my questions. Actually, I'm not even exactly sure what my questions are! I have my new Ruby Red GT PP. The paint is in great shape (except for a couple water spots, but I can...

So I just bought a new GT PP last week, and I've been reading about painting the coil and engine covers. I'm not thinking about sanding and wet sanding and all that, so it all sounds pretty easy....right up until you try to paint the letters. So I started thinking that perhaps it would be easy...

Hey guys - I just bought my ruby red GTPP Friday, and I'm looking to get a square setup for daily driving duty. I'll use the stock wheels and tires for autox, but I'd like to go square so I can rotate the tires with my DD. I've tried searching and have learned some stuff, but not enough to go...

I've been playing with the build-your-own feature on the Ford site, trying to figure out what I want when I upgrade to a GT (which could be soon). Originally I was thinking about going with the PP, but I'm not crazy about the 3.73 gears on my daily driver (mileage), and the brakes limit the...

This is a video of my last and best run from this weekend, and it is the best run I've had yet. I ran 49.930, only about 5 seconds behind a 2016 GTPP driven by a crazy experienced driver, and good enough for second in F-street. Hey - I'll take it! A couple things I see is I didn't brake...

Does anyone have the instructions for slotting the struts? I thought I had seen them here before, but searching isn't turning anything up for me....

I'm in the process of improving my tires, and I have a Strano rear bar on order. I've gotten some advice to upgrade my shocks, and I'm wondering if it would work to replace only the rear shocks or only the struts? Would this totally screw up my handling? Should I wait and do front and rear at...

With the other things I have going on, I can't afford shocks and struts at the same time. Is it possible (or advisable) to just replace the stock shocks in the rear, leaving the factory struts? Or perhaps the other way and replacing the struts, but leaving the rears? How would this affect...

Like the title says - I'm considering new brake pads for taking my V6 autocrossing. It doesn't have the larger brakes like even the normal GT does (nevermind the PP), and I can't go to larger rotors (some folks are grabbing GT rotors and calipers for the V6) and stay in F-Street. So, would...

I was up at Roebling Road Raceway yesterday, and only managed 4th out of 5 cars in FS. The car I beat was a 2005 Mustang GT, so that takes away some of the sting. I was driving fairly decent, and was staying ahead of the course most of the time. I'm running my V6 totally stock, and it's...
