there was a recent post about which rear pads you need for a PP gt.
the answer was FR3Z2200G. i think this is only partially correct. it depends on if you have a manual or automatic transmission.
Manual trans PP uses brf 1566/ FR3Z2200G. this is a Peformance Friction Corporation pad with an EF...
for a mixed use brake pad there seems to be no good option. one possible solution would be to mix pads. for example, have the inner pad on one caliper be the gloc gs1 that is a street pad, and have the outer pad on the caliper be a gloc r8. potentially you would have the best of both worlds.
in the morning when the car is cold, my front camber is -1.7 degrees. when i get back from work when the car is warm, it is -1.5 degrees. this is repeatable. does anyone have an explanation for this?
it seems that too much negative camber in the rear impairs traction and acceleration. i wonder if the converse is true. does too much negative front camber impair braking?
when using an alignment conversion chart, one uses the wheel diameter to be able to convert millimeters to degrees.
i have 19 in wheels, but if you actually measure the face of the wheel it is 20.5 in in diameter. should i use the 20 in scale on the chart?
looking to try a hone alignment using an angle finder and toe plates. im not sure how to get the thrust angle right this way. any tips? the string/pvc pipe method would work but jacking the car up, adjusting, putting it back down and setting the strings back up over and over looks like it would...
just picked up a set of these.
a couple of noteworthy things:
a) this part does not use a spherical bearing. there is a rubber bushing connecting the steel sleeve the strut shaft goes through to the rest of the plate(see pointer in pic).if nvh is your concern i think these plates should be...
perusing the threads here, there is generally a very noticeable bias against camber bolts. mostly, no good explanation is given as to why. Likely they are more difficult to adjust. Also, you would likely not be able to apply as much negative camber as a plate, as the wheel may eventually rub...
due to a trans overheat during a track day, i decided to install the mishimoto trans cooler.
overall a fairly straightforward install, although it is messy due to trans fluid getting all over. thought i would share a couple of tips. i noticed there are no instructional videos for this and the...
put some motorkote in the car yesterday. averaged 30.6 mpg over 60 miles of highway driving. before it was around 28. cht remained the same. cant recommend it yet as it supposedly has chlorine in it and im not sure it wont nuke my engine, but im pretty sure it increases fuel economy.
initially i had rear shock mounts from manufacturer 'a' and as they were squeaking i removed them and replaced them with manufaturer 'b' shock mounts. these also squeaked. curiously they both made the exact same sound. i believe this is not a sound emanating from the mount itself, but is likely...
has anyone determined the ideal amount of lowering to improve handling? most of the discussion re: springs and handling centers on the rates, with minimal discussion of what the ideal amount of lowering would be-if such a thing could actually be ascertained
i plan on installing the GT350 front springs on my PP1 equipped springset 2015 GT. I expect to get a 0.3 inch drop and an increase in rate from 165 to 194. im leaving rears as is. Should i be concerned about an adverse change in vehicle dynamics if i do this, as im not installing the matching...
hello
I'm planning on a couple of track events this year and am researching brake pads that can perform adequately on both street and track. Three pads exist that are advertised for this purpose
-ebc yellow stuff street and track
-raybestos street performance
-hawk hp plus
if anyone has real...
just changed out the plugs on my 2015 mustang gt at 70k miles. i was under the impression they were platinum plugs. i was surprised to find out
they are ngk laser iridium LTR6AI13. Here are some pics. i bought the bosch double iridiums thinking i was doing an upgrade, but found out i probably...
has anyone looked at the effect of carbon fiber wheels on brake temps? the aluminum wheel would act as a heat sink whereas the cf one probably would not
