My shadow black 2018 with satin black stripes was at a shop for several weeks and was backed up to a fence line that had a tree over hanging the back 1/3 of the car. There is sap and dirt that isn't washing of with a traditional car wash from Exoforma. Any pointers on product and technique I...
I currently am not running a catch can on my Gen 5 Whipple car. I have a JLT catch can to go on the car, and I want to put it on the passenger side. I am considering some options on routing and mounting so... Who has done it and where did you mount it? Pics are always helpful.
Thank you.
I ran down about 2 hours away from home today to Maryland International Raceway for the Racemotive 1/3 of a mile roll racing competition. On the way down I was following a friend of mine in an M8 Competition. That car is fast, and I have a leaking oil pan which is worse when beating on the car...
I need opinions on which rear tires and in what size, to go with. The power level I am currently at, my rear tires are an issue. I believe I currently am north of 700whp and with traction control off, it is a serious challenge keeping it straight. I just got a set of Forgestar D5 beadlocks in a...
On any car I feel like I'm missing something with regards to how to determine what I need, but specific to an S550 GT non PP car. What would be the offset range for a 19x9 in the front and a 19x10.5 in the rear. I am looking at a set of Weld Laguna's and I want to make sure the fitment will be...
Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes I will set it and it will stay at the time for several days and then other times, I will be driving and have to set it several times. It goes back 1 hour, I am guessing to standard time. My car was down all winter and I just got it running since we...
So I was on my way home from golf yesterday talking to a forum member on the hands free, and hit a pothole on 702 as it is going over a bridge so there are expansion joints. When I hit it, it was so loud that the guy I was talking to commented and questioned whether I had hit something, I told...
My Corsa headers 3 inch collector donut gaskets are a little worse for the wear. I am putting this car back together and I only want to do it once. I stopped by my local speed shop and they said they had no source for them. I can't find them on Summits site, but that could be due to their shitty...
I bought it here, used, and had it on my car for 5 weeks and it worked great before I broke a ringland. Going full stage 2 Arcane fuel system, so no longer need it. $200 plus shipping.
I am finishing up my built engine and got most of it back together. We dropped the engine out of the car on the K-member with the headers and transmission. I am almost ready to mate the two back together and I am putting in a Vengeance stage 2 in and Barton shifter while it's all apart. The...
I am assembling my built engine and looking at the DI pump which has an o-ring where it engages with the head, but there is a recession in the surface of the pump that looks like it might need a gasket. The surface of the head where the two meet is machined smooth so I am trying to figure out if...
I am in the process of putting a built shortblock and ported heads together and re-installing it in my car. Is there a reinstall kit for those direct injectors? Or do I just reinstall them as is?
And here is some engine porn, for those so inclined.
I have an Arcane system I am attempting to install. Their directions, particularly the wiring portion, leave more than a little to be desired. I read somewhere in the last week or so, someone responded in another thread that the wiring was the easiest part of the installation. I looked but can't...
I am attempting to help a fellow 6G forum member put in his ESS G3X and Fore Fuel system, but we are confused on the routing, particularly how the T fitting that attaches to the DI pump goes. Can anyone on this forum, who has a Gen 3 with the Fore system take some detailed pictures of their...
I called their tech line 3 times today to ask this question, but they must really be busy as I was on hold for over 45 minutes total. I get it, Monday morning after a weekend of wrenching/ track time, they get bogged down with questions I am sure. Anyway, I have their breakout harness for IAT2...
Hello, I have some questions for those who have the quick Jack. I am wondering if there is a specific size needed for an S550 or if there are multiple sizes that will work? I have a chance to get a 7000XL for a very good price so if there are multiple sizes, will there be a problem using the...
All these YouTubers and there are plenty of half asssed video with absolutely shitty music and guys talking back and forth about nonsense, but no step by step, here it is video of it being done. The directions on this installation are mediocre at best. The kit is pretty intricate with A LOT of...
I am in the middle of a Whipple Gen 5 install on my 2018 GT and trying to get my ducks in a row for the next round of work. I was looking in the box at the injectors and the come with electrical connectors that need to put together. Are they needed for these cars? They look like they should...
I spent the day removing everything that needs to come off the car. I got to where I would start putting Whipple supplied parts on the car and was about 10 hours in and felt like it was a good stopping point. Reading ahead, I see that in order for me to use custom tuning, I am going to need some...
