Virtually all performance related applications use hubcentric spacers when needed. That is to say a non hubcentric won't work but they're better relegated to the old school wheel apps on muscle cars and stuff like that. Farm tractors too for that matter unless it's one that cost as much as...
So this thread started as a question about verifying the identity of a particular car being offered.
It now has evolved into a .........oh! BTW I have this for sale and I have that for sale.......
Really?
Well I have a decaffeinated coffee table for sale if anyone is interested. I'll throw...
Sometimes it's better to look at these mishaps as an opportunity. I have 3 sons all now in their late 30's - early 40's in age. Have had the pleasure (and sometimes the OMG events too!) but as we do take pride in our efforts with engaging family we know it's all good.
Don't mean to be...
I'm of the opinion for safety reasons take it to a qualified shop or seek a performance or race shop where you have better probability of having a competent mechanic or rebuilder to check it out.
It hopefully didn't fall like 5 feet to the concrete floor apparently from what you described but a...
Track - Hawk DTC-60 and DTC-70 (I run a 2 pc front rotor but not essential)
- Pagid RS - another great pad (ran them 3 years back in a GT350R
Street - Hawk HP
- Powerstop Z26 (this is a very good overall street pad for the money) I concur with others.
I think what's been said here is all pretty much understandable and accurate for the most part. Ford factory caster wasn't just contrived by guesswork. Of course the car was built for myriad types of buyers.
Probably best not to over think making material caster changes until all your other...
Minimally I as noted in your thread prefer a stand height of 15" and the "roll off / roll on" portion should be at least 1.5 times the width of your plate. In other words you fab a stand that is T shaped from the top view, wide enough to preference and safety and block by welding tube channel or...
I'm fortunate to have a 2 post lift using 50 year old Snap-on turn tables for front and Longacre tables for rear sitting on steel stands I fabricated that are 15 inches high. I also use a Longacre Digital Level system for setting camber and checking caster (no adjustment). The rear plates are...
I absolutely love what you've done to this rag top. Your car is one of my favorites here and is #1 for convertibles. And hey ! Red ! Whether it's Rapid Red Metallic or Race Red........ It's got my attention!
Yes sms2022..... bought it in 1973 from 2nd owner (I knew previous owners have full history...stored it from 1975-2005... then restored it to my specifications and track it all over as far west as Road America and south to Sebring and points like Indy, PittRace, Pocono, Atlanta, VIR, Watkins...
I bring a 24ft trailer, canopy, compressor, plenty of tires and tools and jacks and stands and my two cars, one of them goes in a tractor trailer rig with other race cars and a group that crews for other folks. I bring at least one friend for crew and I abscond with any and all other friends at...
If you can financially, buy them both.
If you can only buy one, start with the S197 and if you can swing it add the M1 later. I note there is a son in the picture. Legacy seems of value to you and that means sacrifice a little now and get both..
Your exit strategy if situations change (kid...
Look, the tuner industry is a high demand highly bifurcated business, customers of whom range from the inexperienced defined as those who think they want something but haven't the slightest clue of what that is to the highly experienced, well capitalized and often sponsored professional race...
If Vorshlag says so (no cutting of top of tower up to -3 degrees camber for such application) then I suppose you go with what they tell you. I have the same plates for my 2020 Mustang GT with the performance pkg Level 2 and I also purchased from Vorshlag the hole cutter tool/jig. For this...
First off, sorry to learn of your accident. I've got 40 years over you and I've had my share too.
But I've had bikes now having ridden and tracked and motorcrossed in my late teens and twenties. Now and for the last 45 years I'm pretty much a Night Train and a Road King guy. Still have a...
I have no experience with any tuners.
Tuning techniques and calibration processes are not necessarily one and the same. I think I know at least that distinction.
The other thing I know for certain is that regulated small businesses generally are run by honest, well focused and intentioned...
The sets of shoes I have to date - the original PP2, the FP similar but all black matte and the FP Mach I style birds nest. Lastly the Apex 19 square I use for track using original Sport Cup 2. The others are PS4s in 305-30 Ă— 19 Front & 315-30 x 19 Rears. Apex use the front spacers with hubs...
