Decided to not ‘roll the bones’ in case I ever needed a flatbed back to home plate. Cheap insurance in case the truck doesn’t happen to have one…$34 at the Big A Now him having Race Ramps or 8’ long 2x10’s to get the 7 deg max ramp angle is a different problem altogether. Just read about the...

Got the letter in the mail today regarding rear camera safety recall for my ’18 350. My reverse camera doesn’t turn on every once in awhile in reverse so I’m sure I’m due for the repair. After finding a thread hereabouts that points to the wiring harness that goes from beneath the speaker...

The bug for sound upgrade finally bit me hard enough to inject the venom that relinquishes the grip on the American Express. Primary Objective: Add some much needed bump while not falling into the upgrade rabbit hole. Background: Got spoiled by two 12” Alpines in the back of a 280ZX back in...

Just went through this and found some discrepancies that I read in various threads on the world wide web. I am powering a 500W amp so this works fine with a 4AWG power lead. Might be able to go one step larger gauge but this is ‘guaranteed’ (lol) for 4AWG cable. First, I read that it wasn’t...

So I finally decided I needed to upgrade the sound for some more depth and bump. Been carousing around all the great threads but haven’t yet seen if anybody has cut the tabs off the center speaker grill that lock into the Center Finish Panel (where the gauges are…along with my $$$ CF dash...

So I bought the steed with 17k miles 2 years ago and I’ve put 10k miles on her. I would wipe the alcantara steering wheel with a MF towel every couple months and it was getting where it had zero texture anymore…I knew it needed some attention but the bug bit me for a CF wheel and dropped that in...

So on cold starts I all of a sudden got an annoying as hell (read: loud) rattle coming from the left muffler. I haven’t racked it yet to pinpoint exactly where its coming from, but I would swear that it sounds like one of the valves is chattering…except it isn’t. I got behind it when it was...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
