Well played

Had to 'field destroy' a CF interior trim kit from CJ due to two of the pieces that were damaged by some chump who returned the kit to CJ who then sold it to me w/o inspecting the pieces. Only after showing them the results of the field destruction would they send the replacement kit out. Felt...

Couldn't find any info around these parts on a weird electrical gremlin that manifested itself on my way home from my first 700 mile roundtrip in the Shelby. I was 3 miles from home on the RTB when the stereo shut off and the head unit lost all power. I could not turn it back on via the power...

Preface my $.02 with absolutely zero understanding of the oiling properties in the 5.2. It can depend on feed (which bearing gets the first hit of lube). I'd imagine the rod bearings get the most abuse due to their torque generation upon combustion and would be first to wear with contamination...

TTY

I think you're talking about these. Got 'em from American Muscle to break up all the black in there and, yep, they're pretty close to the stripe color.

Damn sorry to read about the drama associated with the new mistress though I applaud your measured approach to determining if somebody just dumped a can of stripper glitter in or if you in fact are about to have relations with a cherry picker to get your VooDoo qual setting cam timing after...

Thought I might get busted for that…here ya go, KB. A bit glossy for my pref; should have wiped them down with a mf towel after application. What surprised me though is I can wipe my finger across it with zero residue and it doesn’t smudge. Interesting.

Quick follow-up after putting some ReTyre on the wife's tyres that I treated with CP BlackOut a mere 9 weeks ago. They looked great after applying the BlackOut, but it didn't take much San Diego sunshine to turn them brown again. Hit 'em with today with ReTyre and holy smokes is that stuff the...

1:22 is pretty damned fast at Big Willow. Used to pedal a 3.8 RSR 911 on slicks at a 1:25 race pace for a 4 hour Tribute to LeMans back in the day. I want to give the 350 a try and hoping for sub 30 sans additional downforce. Great in car video as well. Really miss that place. We could hold WOT...

Ahhh jeez. Now I gotta go pull that hub out. Refuse having a flare to land related part number that made for great pipper fodder. And about those scarves...chaff/flares out left!

Just stared and the irony is I never gave the upstairs mistress (996 GT-3) the same adulation over its bits and pieces that make the ponies push… yeahh just not the same…

Ahhhh OK…Thanks KB. It helps to have it explained so this knuckle dragger could understand it. All my sleds have tinted windows so no tacking it on the inside. Maybe I can put ‘em on the outside of my chilled beer mugs so I can relish the notion that I’m not correcting paint while imbibing a...

Alright...what in the name of Hades is the purpose of these reflective stickers CP puts in the box with the Cquartz UK? It is to train the eye for what a flash looks like or does CP think folks are going to stick 'em to their sleds? I have a place where the sun don't shine but then again it...

Dropped an order in for the ReTyre and also going to try the CP DarkSide and Gyeon Q2 Tire sealers to see what works best on those Pirellis adorning the wife's sled. Here's an inexpensive set of drill brushes ($7) made by Holikme off Amazon that ought to work wonders with the ReTyre. I got the...

My left rear hub went south at 19k miles. I saw a Timken manuf hub for $60 and put that in. Timken is a well established bearing company and I had zero qualms about bolting that one on. Time will tell as it has with the factory hubs whose mean time between failure is all over the map...I hope...

I think I just spent the best $60 on the 350 to date by adding a SpeedForm throttle mapper. I had a similar result with my 996 GT3 that was more 'pig-ish' than 'thoroughbred' on throttle response until I tossed a Sprint Boost in mix and now the throttles for both cars more closely resemble a...

Washing with deionized water exacerbates this problem exponentially if you wash with cold rotors and park it without ensuring the rotors are dry. I will heat up the brakes a tad by doing a couple hard stops before washing. I follow this up by dragging the brakes for about 30' before tucking...

Well now...doesn't this beat all. Went through a couple CP Blackout applications and learned what a PITA it is to get the tires completely oil/residue free. CP's website says to use Multi-X to clean the tires b/f applying Blackout and the Multi-X was basically worthless (these towels are what...

I ditched my resonators and discovered the factory aft section heat shield was spot welded in place and swapping it over wouldn't work. The front section was reused and strapped in place. While I haven't seen the data that demanded Ford install the heat shielding in the first place (they would...
