Stick around long enough and you’ll likely see one in showrooms. For now, there’s nowhere to slot such an engine in the current lineup. 2.3L Turbocharged 320hp 5.0L N/A 460hp 5.2L N/A 526hp 5.2L Supercharged 720hp

Tire recommendations: $292/ea Bridgestone S007A: newly released tire with some technology from the RE71R and RE11 (ultimate autocross tires) mixed with more street focused usability. Not many reviews yet but should be a solid performer. Under $300 is the cheapest of these three. Tread width of...

I could share with you all the photos you could stand of my personal setup, but it’s not very indicative of your setup in question. I don’t have any photos of 20x11+24. On the 19x11” fronts, the common size is 305. I have one set of 305/30 and another in 305/35. The width of the tire matches...

GT350 uses an 11” front wheel in +24mm offset. This will also fit a regular S550, although it will be pushed out flush or even past flush to the fender (poke) as if it were on 1”+ spacers. One of the most common ways to put 11” wheels in the front is a +50 offset. This offset is used because...

I’m pretty sure you figured this out already since I talked to you about your trailer setup a while back. Your aluminum trailer is sweet!! Here’s a photo of my first attempt. Need a wider deck than 48” because RACECAR TIRES ARE HUGE. I can’t stack them in a row across the width of the trailer...

Limited reading has revealed that OEM seat behavior in an impact event or rollover is engineered to take advantage of the fact that the back is separate from the base. Either by way of intentionally breaking the locking mechanism and allowing the seat to recline, or to allow a certain degree of...

The trailer in my photo is equipped with lights. Red lenses, one on each side, with incandescent bulbs, and yes they work. They may be hard to spot in the photo. Curt (the hitch manufacturer) also makes a plug-n-play harness. Simple T-connector fits in between the the cars body harness and your...

1. Offsets? 2. Location?

You may be more correct than you thought, at least as far as the PCM goes. Forscan has a fair bit of control over the BCM because, just like your Ford ProCal tool, it can change the rear axle ratio to virtually anything including 4.09. That wasn’t the issue when I was using it. It was trying...

OBDLink MX Scan Tool. About $80 retail price, available on Amazon or anywhere else similar.

Can you shed any more light on what you mean regarding the mounting? What is the “right” way to do it and what is the wrong way?

If using a fixed back seat, your best bet is to pair it with a REAL rollbar. Not a harness bar. That is the only safe solution, and anything less is a compromise. Potentially a life-threatening one... I’ve heard that the Schoth QuickFit Pro harness on the stock reclining seats are a decent and...

I have the APR splitter, and the GT350 Track Pack style wing. I mounted the splitter about 1” further out/forward than it was designed for. This is the maximum length the included suppport rods can accommodate. Any further out and you need longer rods (not hard to find/install). I’d love to...

I think the DWS06 was likely the best choice for the temps you describe. I know the colder temperatures can make the summer-only tire compounds get pretty hard, but which specific tire responds best to the cold is still a guessing game. Depends on the compound... tread block size and depth, how...

I have yet to try angling mine down, but I will tonight. As you begin to angle the silicone coupler downwards, you open up a gap on the top and bunch-up/compress material on the bottom. I know there’s nothing I can do to add material on the top side, but I have considered trimming a crescent...

I understand. Sometimes the way an organization runs an event makes all the difference in the world, but other times you just GOTTA get on track too. Please let us know how this one goes.

Which organization is putting on the December 16th event? If it’s Rezoom (or Jzilla, Chin, JustTrackIt, etc.) those are all privately ran organizations to my knowledge. It is very likely that some of the people registered and participating in these events are TVR/TAC members, even though it...

@ANGST Which tires did you end up running, and how did they perform??

285 on 11” is a nice amount of “stretch” if you want to call it that. Great sidewall support keeps the tire from squirming about the wheel during transitions. 305 on 11” is about square/straight sidewalls. 305 on 12” is similar to the 285 on 11” I think. We will find out soon when @TigerFire13...

I’m a member of both TVR SCCA and TAC. I’m on the TeamTac.org forum also. Solid bunch of folks here locally (Huntsville) and a really great autocross setup. Two events left this season: November 17th December 1st @dmann come on up for one of them! We’d love to have you and I’d like to talk...
