Here is a test that covers flow rate and filtering capacity of 4 filters

If you have a Menards store in your area, the Purolator oil filters they carry are a great value. I always purchased the PL22550. Note that Purolator is owned by Bosch and these filters are made in USA. More recently, I started stocking filters from Rockauto.com and I am buying the Wix...

I have a 2014 F150 SuperCrew Lariat with a 6.2L V8. It is the same engine that came in the Raptor from that generation F150 - 411HP/434TQ. Rare as hen's teeth but very old school reliable. Worst thing is the spark plug change (there are 16 of them) and it has hydraulic power steering...

Liked Ford Motorsports better. Especially with the 80s 3 color laser graphics.

I bought a Mishimoto CAI used off of eBay 5-6 yrs ago. The change in throttle response made it worth doing. With the CAI installed, throttle response is immediate and with the stock air box not so much. Really noticed this when I put the stock air box back on to take my car in for warranty...

I have owned a race car for 22 years. To use it as intended in SCCA events I have to own a SNELL rated SA rated helmet. In that I time I have purchased 3 helmets.....only three. Prior to that when I was mostly autocrossing I used an SA semi open face helmet because I had racing aspirations...

Cool pictures! I have raced against and was at events with SCCA racers and teams from Puerto Rico. The first was at Heartland Park Topeka back in 2006 at a Trans Am race. Several Trans Am teams from Puerto Rico were there sponsored by Don Julio Tequila. I didn't talk to any of them but...

Great tire. I have over 20K miles on a set 235/50 X 18s Use them daily and took a couple of long 2500 mile road trips on them. No noise or weird wear issues even after I set my car up for Autox and cranked in 2.75 degrees of negative camber. Note these are not my autox tires. I use...

My preference would be for the SCCA to not change their specifications to allow this new tire or any other new tire like it to be used in classes where 200TW tire are required. The specs are clearly provided in the rule book. It is up to the manufacturers to build a product that meets the...

IMS is an incredible facility and the museum is a great place to take a picture. Love the grabber blue! When you have time, take the tour. That track is magic. Raced there twice in my RX7 with the SCCA. My avatar is the front straight in the road course direction.

I installed Steeda camber plates along with their competition springs on Koni Sports for autox purposes. I had the alignment shop set the camber at -2.75. I figured this would be hard on the 235/50x18 Continental street tires I drive on between events but that has not been the case. Car...

Blame Ford. When I was shopping for my 2017 I looked at V6 S550s first. I didn't buy one because of the way the V6 cars came equipped. Really a shame because I like the idea of a V6 with a manual trans in a good chassis. But, I also want a few common creature comforts because this was...

Big fan of the Cyclone V6. Had one in a 2012 Mustang before the 2017 GT I have now. They are deceptively fast! There was a 2013 V6 Mustang at Solo Nats last year in CAMC. He beat a fair number of us and the engine was stock.

Kansas City Region SCCA Autox School and Event #2 this weekend. 187 entries w1th 16 in CAMC. Not too shabby

My rotary just said "hold my beer"

Watched this earlier today and thought there was info that is relevant to us. I watch these guys off and on for impact tool testing and have found their methods to be pretty good. Points of relevance were what happens when a click type torque is left at a high torque setting for a long...

KZ, Might be worth running that tire by a GY dealer for an inspection. Maybe they will warranty it. Weirdness in a trailer tire is something I wont mess with.

Back when I started, I could not wait until I had a full on race car BECAUSE then I could run vinyl! Also buy a truck and a trailer. But the highlight was the VINYL! Mavisky, your car looks fantastic!

The coolant medium would need to have the ability to rapidly absorb heat in the engine oil cooler and then rapidly reject heat in the separate radiator. Wouldn't matter what is since it serves no other purpose to the car. I would want to use something that is easy to pump and isn't corrosive...

Too much anxiety from worrying about getting home and back to work on Monday for me to NOT have a trailer. Whether I was autocrossing far from home or running a road race, knowing I had a reliable way home makes the weekend better. I've had the same 16' open trailer since 1991. I bought an...
