Last year I bought front and rear tow hooks from ZL1. The rear welds were terrible, totally unacceptable. I sent it back and they sent me a new one that was just as bad, so I returned it and got a Ford Performance rear hook.
The ZL1 front hook was good to install and held up to a tow out of...
I bought a used 2018 with the ATAK exhaust installed. After six months, I wound up keeping the resonator delete aspect of the exhaust and removing the exhaust aft of that. I did this because when I ran track days at extended high rpms, the ATAK would melt the reflectors immediately above the...
I’m confused as to why you would run the OEM rears in the front and the OEM fronts in the rear—maybe misunderstanding your post. Can’t you just take off the 25mm spacers when running the OEM wheels, and have front in front and rear in rear?
That aside, you should be able to run the OEM rears up...
FYI, I got on the phone today with Lombard Ford to pull the trigger on an extended warranty for my 2018 GT350 (no longer under bumper to bumper warranty, just powertrain through December 2023), but was not able to do so—Lombard is no longer selling to anyone located in California. Per the...
Do the 2020 Rs have the screw point for the front tow hook, since they share the front core with the GT500? I know they don't have GT500's pop-off access panel on front bumper to allow for screw-in tow hook, but I seem to recall hearing that the screw point is there under the plastic bumper.
I...
Took a drifting-focused car control course with Fast Sideways at the Thunderhill skidpad on Saturday to teach car control at the limit. Those are 275mm Kumho all-seasons mounted on my OEM 11" rear wheels, inflated to 40psi, to make it even easier to break the rear end loose. Lemons racing was...
Nice! I almost bought a GR86 back in March before I decided to go bigger with the GT350.
Good luck with the surgery and hope to see you on the track some time in 2023. I'm #88.
Personally, I use a T-1000 liquid metal sword arm--find it gets me the best acceleration, but I do have to replace the pedals fairly often due to damage from the stabbing.
@whatisgrip I have this same issue. I think I started noticing it after doing two of the same mods as you: my mechanic installed full set of Trackspec hood vents and a custom airbox cover to seal it (now that the hood above it is vented). I will update the thread with any info on mitigating it...
OP, good luck with the GT350 hunt. It's a great model year (has all the incremental changes to suspension and engine over the course of the production run) and looks nice from these photos, but an in-person viewing and drive is certainly a good idea.
Some comments:
- I'm guessing this was used...
Yeah, I hear you. That's how I view my regular splitter, which also scrapes going into my garage. How much worse is it with the R splitter? It sticks farther forward, but not necessarily any lower, right?
