Some pics from last weekend. I'm thinking I need to point the front of the splitter down a bit

Ran out of mental bandwidth to update before the event, so next few posts will be out of order. But getting back from a mostly successful weekend at COTA. Was able to squeeze in 6 sessions. Last two were amazing. The very last one was only me and one other car on track. Pretty wild to basically...

Like BillyJ said, with great downforce, comes great responsibility. And knowing what you're doing is a good start to that. It seems like some vendors don't think they need to know what they're doing, though.

right at about 4 hours the announcer just says "here's a mustang just enjoying the track" that was such a solid, lowkey burn. solid work announcer dude

Spent a good chunk of my evenings this week working on the replacement Ti exhaust. I don't any full length images right now to share, but here are some pics of my welding progress. definitely getting better this is the mid pipe connecting to the stainless steel headers/collector Here's part...

I brought 22 gallons in the fuel cell and 55 gallons in jugs. Then I ran out part way through day 2, had to fill up at the track while my wife went and refilled 50 gallons worth of E85 in the jugs at a local Sheetz. I couldn't believe how much fuel I burned - it was wild. And Cortex's Penske...

VIR - as always - truly is heaven on earth. A track with unparalleled flow and really only equaled by Road America and Road Atlanta. For those that haven't been, the grounds are beautiful - I can't even imagine how much they spending mowing this place. Uniquely Virginian for sure. Reminds me a...

Okay - so catching up a bit. Before the trip to VIR, I had a couple of things I wanted to address. First, I needed to fix the exhaust and get the driveshaft replaced. DSS was able to get a smaller diameter DS with one less adjustable CV - which would have less vibration issues. After that, I...

I have a set in my storage unit - I'm pretty far from you, though

that only works the first time--at least in my experience. she's catching on - she now triples the time and money budget anytime I giver her one. booo

I don't know if you have a significant other, but if you do, and you need to justify costs, just be like "it's a lot cheaper than modifying the car" and then when they question your sources, just be like "some random dude on the internet said so" This works on my wife all the time (it works 60%...

Ahh, yah. the dreadful 1.3. I've always struggled have fun on the 1.3. Prefer the 1.7 much more. Probably not much you can do there - speeds are too low. You'll really need more oil capacity and cooling to make much of a difference. My advice would be to just run the bigger tracks with more...

Yeah - straight cut gears with dog ring engagement in the sequential. The quiet sixth is just a combo of how HGT manufactures the gear and that it is the 1:1 gear I plan to compete with it next year if the budget allows. Most likely TT/TA in 2025 with a transition to W2W in 2026 (budget...

To give you a serious answer - I still consider it a GT350 as it has the original tub, block, and dash. Without those, probably just a mustang. IMHO - it's how a GT350 should be built. But I am biased!

288 isn't great - but I wouldnt be overly concerned until the car goes into limp mode. What track are you on? Something like Harris hill? as for oil temps - you'll need a bigger oil cooler. that's pretty much all you can do to keep oil temps down if you can't short shift. I ran the FP350S...

Bought new in Oct 2016 with 4 miles on the clock. Modified lightly over the years

There was a 57 in it on Friday if I wasn't fighting the brake issue. According my AIM telemetry, I was 1.5 seconds slower in the big brake zones (T1, oaktree, and T13) than my 2019 visit with a stock-ish car. Definitely need to come back once I get it dialed! Car is pretty insane. It's quite...

I have a lot of catching up to do, but going to wait until I get home and can get the car on the lift to walkthrough the changes. In the meantime, here are some POV laps from my trip to VIR. Car ran great. Ran a 1:59 Friday afternoon, but with traffic being pretty thick, it was hard to get clean...

What GL95 says above me is the smart man's way of approach it. The ADHD rage version of me would just swap out the full harness. If that doesn't work - burn the entire garage down and find a new hobby.

No, I mean replace the entire engine harness. I went through 4 on my GT350..
