I’ve had this happen to about 4 or 5 cup 2 front tires on my R, only 102y Porsche spec version (not a 98y)where the steel chord pops out and then eventually, by day 6 or so, the tire starts tearing along the bead by the rim. Half the time it starts losing air, half the time it never does. This...

I just killed my fifth starter in 6 years on my 350R. I generally open the hood between track sessions but starters are dying faster and faster. The original one lasted 2.5 years, and then generally 1yr after that, but I just had one replaced two weeks ago and after four track sessions it’s...

I've got a 2017 GT350R with 16k miles now that's making a strange sound for ~1 sec immediately after each shift (but no other occasions). It's not a rattle or something loose, the valves are working fine, but with valves open it sounds like "throat clearing burble/cough" for ~1 sec after each...

My car has about 11.5k miles now, but it lost reverse at 9600 miles (I could get into reverse fine, but releasing clutch caused grinding and kicked the selector out), all other gears worked fine. I waited about 5 weeks, never using reverse in the mean time, for the car to get to see the...

This is the 2nd tire in a month that’s done this on my R. The tear is unnoticeable as it’s inside the rim part of the tire, and I just noticed as I had 5lbs of air pressure. Any one else have this happen, thoughts?

My R will shift into reverse like normal, but as I release the clutch the shifter spits out and grinds gears. It does this if I try to hold the shifter in reverse too, even though it seems to have engaged and stays in reverse until I release the clutch. I don’t think this is the reverse...

My car has been to the dealer 4 times now for CEL's related to P0022 and P0023. The 2 VCT wires have both been replaced and this issue is continuing. The dealer seems to "actuate VCT" and clears the error and then says its fine, but after every track day or even spirited road driving, the car is...

I have done 6 track days, half were six 25-30 min long sessions on my rears now. They felt great last day but I’m worried they are close to heat cycling out (plenty tread). I have a full set of spare CF wheels for my R less one rear which got cracked as I’ve posted about here... so the question...

As I documented here https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/cracked-r-carbon-wheel.128015/ I had a small crack in my Rs carbon rear wheel. I think it still holds air but I’m not comfortable using it on the track. It may be repairable, idk. I’m not sure what to do with it besides hang it on...

I was driving 4 hours home from Pitt Race last weekend, empty tank, filled up 93 octane and within 5 minutes the car started surging while getting back on highway. It did this in all gears. It was a bit intermittent and I figured bad gas, so kept driving. on the highway, my cruise control would...

Searched and didn’t see a thread for photos of gt350s on the track, so please share here if you have any. These two are my favorites so far, from yesterday at Waterford Hills.

I get 4-5 days on front Cup 2s with -2.8 camber before chording. Nothing to do about that. The rears however had ~40% tread left after 8 or 9 days but heat cycled out and slid around like crazy. Would using tire warmers between track sessions prevent 5 heat cycles a day and instead work like...

I’ve got track days coming up sat, sun, and Tuesday after being out for 6 weeks When ac compressor bolts sheered off in my block. Excited to get the car back, I scheduled the track days yesterday, Hand washed the car, took the rear wheels off and some new tires to the dealer to get mounted and...

Short story: Both my AC and Serpentine Belt fell off (spun off at high revs presumably) during my past 2 track days. My coolant obviously overheated and I had to limp off the track (which was 3 hours away and I don't trailer). Fortunately, the belts were still in the engine bay and I was able to...

Was at Gingerman today, ~9th track day on my rear Cup 2s in the R (fronts last 5 days or so and chord so not an issue, and got a nail in a rear after 5 days on last rear set). Anyway, The car was super greasy and I was like Vin Disel hauling bank vault with the unnecessary sideways, under power...

Doesn’t seem to be any recent data on this, but flood ford, if you buy the warranty also, will sell a premium maintenance plan: https://www.floodfordesp.com/premium_maintenance.php The prices for not for synthetic oil, so I heard that is an extra cost, but what I’m interested in is it covers...

Is there any reason not to remove the passenger front seat in my R? It’s two simple bolts and easy to do and would make hauling my 4 spare wheels to the track easier when I need to do so. Hell this even makes up for the FPrear seats I installed (to drive my kids on the street) weight gain of a...

Given (1) uneven wear on fronts vs rears and R vs L side (2) multi - day events (3) not having a touchless machine near a track to mount spare tires during a track session (4) inability to dial in exactly when Cup 2's are going to chord because the outside half goes completely slick with no wear...

I have a 17 gt350R, do about 5-8 annual track days and maybe 1500 road miles. I run in the advanced group and am usually the top 1-3 fastest cars (ie I’m no pro but competent and aggressive). My local tracks are Grattan, M1, and Waterford hills in MI for most use. Right now the car is stock...

If people see deals on tires, brakes, camber plates, caliperfexion studs, brake fluid etc please post to this thread! It’s nice to stock up on track items at big discounts during the winter, worked out well for me last year. Really hope that Walmart tire deal comes back!
