  1. Oil Change Piece of Cake

    Heard all the horror stories about oil spraying everywhere during the filter removal so approached the first oil swap with my guard up. I put an extra zip lock bag from Detailed Image around the filter while unscrewing it and all the ‘overflow’ was caught by the bag. Had 3 drips on the...
  2. Stereo Shut Off/Lost Power

    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...
  3. CarPro Cquartz Reflective Sticker Thingies

    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...
  4. SpeedForm Throttle Controller Setting

    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...
  5. GT350 Rear Bearing Hub Replacement

    While performing a tire dressing decontamination/application of CarPro BlackOut, I discovered a slight wobble to the LR wheel. A quick search for this blue oval newbie showed me that the FoMoCo reliability of the bearing hub is wanting...the mean time between failure being somewhere between 1k...
  6. CarPro Blackout Tire/Rubber coating

    OK DFB5.0, jumped on the last car of the nano-coat train and thought I'd see how Blackout would look after I sliced and diced those pesky nibs. I took your advice about the tires needing to absolutely clean and now I can see why some folks don't have great results with the product. I used CP...
  7. CQ.UK 3.0 Ceramic Lessons Learned

    Shout out in advance to the gray beards and savvy aficionados of all things *clean and swirl free* who helped propel my car care technology to the 21st century (or in tech speak, I just tossed my flip phone in the campfire...stby for interesting flames from the fire pit lol). I cut my teeth on...
  8. 3" SPTA ROB Pads- MF or Foam?

    I just snagged Griot's 3" G8 ROB and thought I'd give the SPTA pads a go FTW. Since they'll end up in a ziplock bag, I got out the sharpie to remind my steel sieve of a memory where each one sits in their color schema. I started using a PC7424 ROB about 20 years ago when there were really on...
  9. Vinyl Stripe Scratches/Swirl Marks

    My recent acquisition of my first GT350 came with long to-do list of upgrades and elbow grease to get it where I wanted it. I've been using Sal Zaino's products for 20+ years although none of his products will 'fill' micro marring like a good can of carnauba wax can with far less effort. But...
  10. LTH Resonator Delete Install and dB

    Howdy Gents- Got the Res Del installed and felt like one of Jerry's Kids trying to measure the damned cut point...I think I must have been dropped on my head a few times as a kid b/c the LTH instructions say to cut 2.25" aft of the shield clamp but this is waayyyyy short of where I ended up...
  11. Brake Performance Thread

    Relative fresh owner of an '18 here still smiling wider than a teenager in a brothel with a new credit card and a $5,000 limit. I was a bit dismayed by the HAZMAT cloud created by the OEM pads from merely backing out of the garage let alone doing any threshold braking while letting the ponies...
  12. Throttle Response Enhancers

    There are limited posts about any throttle mappers 'round these parts and wondering if anybody has had any hiccups with the SpeedForm Throttle Controller. I found some posts elsewhere but they were limited to the 5.0's vice the 5.2. I put a Sprint Boost in my 996 GT-3 and it was a night and day...
  13. Why is oil level such a PITA to determine?

    Still getting acquainted with the new mistress and, for the life of me, I've never encountered such a mystery when it comes to determining where the oil level is on the dipstick. I have read a bunch here about waiting 15 min after shutdown on a warmed up engine, that the bottom of the dipstick...
  14. Price Alert- Powerstop Z-26 Front Pads $56

    After spending a day cleaning baked-on brake dust, I hit the word-of-mouth pad reviews here and I'm going to give the Z26's a shot to see how the bite compares to OEM. The stock pads are notably worthwhile and incredibly effective; that said, the copious tonnage of brake dust blows dead goats...
  15. Olive Warranty Extension?

    Quick pulse check to see if anybody has enrolled with Olive to provide warranty service. I have it on the wife's SQ5 for $40/mo and just put the 350 on it seeing as how the Ford Premium Care warranty my PO had turns out to NOT be transferable as it was already transferred from original owner to...
  16. New Owner here...survived the first 48 hours...

    Howdy Gents and whomever ladies hang out in the snake pit- I've been voraciously consuming data from all y'all as I get up to speed on the newest addition to the stable- an '18 blue over white w/ 17k miles. Been lusting hard for a few years after letting a 502 BBC go in '19 to fund a race...
