Any toe out up front is the last thing I'd want (aside from any toe out in back....unless you want to go off to the races under heavy braking). Get underneath and crank it out (after confirming about 3 times which way each tie rod s threaded/travels). Paint pen b/f and after so you can always...

I felt your pain. I bought a 996 GT3 and the PO had the calipers painted yellow to mimic those that come with the carbon rotors. So I went through the exercise and painted them red. Using 2 stage clear was key to the final finish and even though it was the first time I shot anything with it...

Forgot to mention the oil prime feature that is often not discussed. Tried it with oil in the system first to confirm that it in fact operates as described. Clutch in, accelerator to the floor, and press the start button. Engine cranks (sans spark) for about 5 sec. So after topping off oil...

I did a quick pre-op check on my catch can (HF wheeled 5 gal tank with attached pan via tubed risers) and had a moment of clarity (very rare FWIW) when I looked at the restricted hole feeding the down tubes to the tank and realized the goezinta hole was much smaller than the goesoutta hole from...

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...

So after 'field destroying' the first set, the second came with a cracked dash piece, they sent a third that was the wrong dash (3 vs 4 holed dash piece) and the 4th time was the charm. Happy with the fitment and the depth that only CF can bring to the table. The pieces for the back seat needed...

Well played

Had to 'field destroy' a CF interior trim kit from CJ due to two of the pieces that were damaged by some chump who returned the kit to CJ who then sold it to me w/o inspecting the pieces. Only after showing them the results of the field destruction would they send the replacement kit out. Felt...

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...

Preface my $.02 with absolutely zero understanding of the oiling properties in the 5.2. It can depend on feed (which bearing gets the first hit of lube). I'd imagine the rod bearings get the most abuse due to their torque generation upon combustion and would be first to wear with contamination...

TTY

I think you're talking about these. Got 'em from American Muscle to break up all the black in there and, yep, they're pretty close to the stripe color.

Damn sorry to read about the drama associated with the new mistress though I applaud your measured approach to determining if somebody just dumped a can of stripper glitter in or if you in fact are about to have relations with a cherry picker to get your VooDoo qual setting cam timing after...

Thought I might get busted for that…here ya go, KB. A bit glossy for my pref; should have wiped them down with a mf towel after application. What surprised me though is I can wipe my finger across it with zero residue and it doesn’t smudge. Interesting.

Quick follow-up after putting some ReTyre on the wife's tyres that I treated with CP BlackOut a mere 9 weeks ago. They looked great after applying the BlackOut, but it didn't take much San Diego sunshine to turn them brown again. Hit 'em with today with ReTyre and holy smokes is that stuff the...

1:22 is pretty damned fast at Big Willow. Used to pedal a 3.8 RSR 911 on slicks at a 1:25 race pace for a 4 hour Tribute to LeMans back in the day. I want to give the 350 a try and hoping for sub 30 sans additional downforce. Great in car video as well. Really miss that place. We could hold WOT...

Ahhh jeez. Now I gotta go pull that hub out. Refuse having a flare to land related part number that made for great pipper fodder. And about those scarves...chaff/flares out left!

Just stared and the irony is I never gave the upstairs mistress (996 GT-3) the same adulation over its bits and pieces that make the ponies push… yeahh just not the same…

Ahhhh OK…Thanks KB. It helps to have it explained so this knuckle dragger could understand it. All my sleds have tinted windows so no tacking it on the inside. Maybe I can put ‘em on the outside of my chilled beer mugs so I can relish the notion that I’m not correcting paint while imbibing a...

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...
