So I know people have been complaining about cooling on the S550 forever, namely the diff and engine oil. I only run 20 min sessions in HPDE so the diff never sees too high of temps. However, I'm starting to pick up more speed at the track now and also starting to see higher engine oil temps. My...

I found a pretty thorough and accurate article on racing aerodynamics if anyone is interested. Covers A LOT of concepts and aero elements. https://professionalawesome.com/diy-downforce/

I'm not sure how long these have been on their website but oh how I want them!! By chance, anyone have these? I'm curious if they provide a noticeable amount of downforce. I know everything AJ makes is 100% functional, just wondering by how much. I didn't see any wind tunnel data on the...

Does anyone know what the factory PP wheels sell for? To clarify, the 19x9 +45 and 19x9.5 +52 wheels. I have searched through craigslist and ebay every now and then and haven't seen any for sale. I've seen replicas sold new but never used factory wheels. I would like to get a set of street...

I'll keep this short and simple. I'm looking to buy G-LOC R12 front and R10 rear pads. The only places I know to buy them are OP Mustang and Vorshlag. Any other places or any discount codes available?

I am looking into getting a dedicated set of rotors for the track to go along with dedicated track pads. I'm curious what other people use for HPDE/track use and their experiences, whether good or bad. I've compiled a list (not all the options but the more common ones) of possible options...

I keep seeing "MY18" being used on this forum. From context, I'm assuming this is referring to the 2018 model year. (Is that what it means? Model Year 18??) Is this a separate chassis code other than S550 or just some abbreviation people came up with?

I apologize in advance for a disorganized post here, a bit of a thought-vomit. I'm getting more and more into track life recently and while I'm still learning to drive the stock suspension fast, I am looking into upgrading in the somewhat near future. (I like to have a plan of attack ahead of...

A friend of mine has a 2012 370Z Nismo and has had it since new. I've been around it plenty and have driven it before. Great car but I guess I never really paid all that much attention to it. Back then, my car knowledge and experience consisted of youtube videos and parking lot car shows. Now...

CRACKED!!! I purchased these wheels awhile back as my track-only set and used them for the first time this past weekend at Buttonwillow and one of them cracked. I contacted LMR and they sent out a replacement the same day. (Their customer service is incredible - thank you LMR) My concern is...

I, as many of you, have ducted brakes. A simple hose going from the high pressure zone of the front bumper feeding to the back of the brake rotor. This has been common place for racers for decades and has never been really questioned. It just works. Now this is a great solution for race cars...

Another brake pad question! Woohoo! So I took my car in last week for some minor service at my local Mustang shop and the owner said he thinks my pads are at least partially glazed. He claims he heard some slight squeaking which he says is an indication of glazed pads. I haven't had a chance...

What is everyone using to record their lap times? I know Aim Solo is very good but I'm wondering if there is a cheaper option while I'm just starting out. I downloaded RaceChrono phone app. I've heard good things about it. I'm not trying to set any lap records, I only want to know how my times...

To my fellow manual drivers, After getting my feet wet in HPDEs this year, I now see the massive importance of being able to smoothly downshift while braking. I, admittedly, am horrible at heel-toe down shifts and this makes entering a corner at 120 both terrifying and inevitably slower than...

Not sure if this is the correct place to discuss this but does anyone know if the Quik-Latch front bumper quick release pins work for the 2018/2019 models? On CJ Pony Parts, it says for 2015-2019 but the bumper attachment is different on the 18/19. Any help is appreciated.

I'm looking to mount a fire extinguisher in front of the passenger seat that moves with the passenger seat. I like the Brey Krause mounts but I also don't want to pay $300 for this. Does anyone have a cheaper solution? If anything else, I'll take measurements and go make my own brackets. (Unless...

I've always been a car nut and always admired road racing though I never thought I would ever get to that point nor did I know where to start. I knew basic mechanics from tinkering on my first car but never did anything major. Once I was in the financial position to buy a new car, I jumped on...

I'm in a pickle here guys. BC Racing coilovers...are they good or not? I've read and heard that BC Racing coilovers ARE good. I know some race teams use them, some drift teams use them, I have generally heard very good things about them. They offer a set for 2015+ Mustangs but they are only...

I'm sure this has been covered many times so apologies for the repeat but how much stuff can you fit in our cars for a track day? My plan: - (4) 19x10 wheels - jack and stands - box of tools - some water and snacks Anyone fit all this in their car without issue?

Does anyone know how to reorganize the your pictures in your garage posts? I can upload more pictures or delete pictures but I do not see a function to reorganize them.
