You're going to reduce pressure in front of your radiator by doing that, and I would think dumping that oil cooler diverted air in a low pressure location would reduce DF. But I'm really interested in hearing results, keep us posted.
Are you completely boxed up front?
Ahhh, okay. Mine actually did do that. I went to a blip module because of my terrible heel toe, and that fixed it. But yes, I do know what you're talking about. It takes a lot of throttle to engage the engine.
What happens if you jam on the throttle, not just blip?
I've never had that, but tbh, I never mastered heel-toe shifting either so I was probably doing something wrong.
He asked why it's smoking, not if it's illegal. Anyone who knows cats are removed knows it's illegal.
As to the smoke. OP report back with the catch can. The smoke looks like unburnt fuel, but if it's oil, catch cans, like the small ones J&L sells, will be more than sufficient. If it's coming...
How about seat time in each car? Did one have more experience behind the wheel of their respective car? And what tires on each, we know there's a big gulf in 200w tires. Also I'm really curious what tire they fit on the GTD? Because if running Cam, I swore there was a rule you could run the...
Haven't been out yet to try them out. But, I'm hoping it does. The small ones I had were good up to 120, so hopefully bigger is better.
The real answer is the mirrors you have. But this was easier.
I had something similar to that, made out of plastic I heated and bent. It works well until about 120, then buffetting returns. I bought some bigger ones because I couldn't find a printable design online to have printed.
A friend took delivery of his and I got to watch it. The Ford engineer got real squirrelly when I started asking about weight, and where they found weight savings.
I was just trying to steal some ideas of what they did on the GTD, but getting a straight answer is rough.
1 spot on saw on that...
Is it ceramic coated? I have the new Argon Blue on my truck, and the last truck was Rapid Red. Both "dark" colors. Ceramic coating transformed the paint on both, and added depth to the paint. My truck now pops even in the shade, but is on a different level in the sun.
And makes it easier to...
I have one set of RT660s, 315/30/19, that I "practice" with, and a set of SC3Rs, 325/30/19, that if I am trying to set a PB, I throw on.
The SC2's, if you have a stickier tire on another wheel, probably would be excellent for that "practice" if your goal is lap times actually.
I would love to...
Non-rim protector makes it look like a track only tire. Rim protector adds weight. I probably wouldn't track a SC2, but I would definitely go non-protector.
That difference would bug me too.
I'd say even if you rattle can it, definitely get a quality clear gloss. I did it on my vents, and they look much nicer now.
A high quality 2K clear is what I'm getting at. It really improves the depth of color. GTP is right, the gloss is real tricky to get the right thickness, and I didn't get...
Dang man, that's awesome. The stock oil cooler in my car has been doing great, it's kind of shocked me, otherwise I'd definitely consider the route you're going.
You car is going to be completely transformed!
TMMV, but I can only get 10 quarts in my GT500 pan. I was expecting 12, and am kind of stunned that it only holds 10.
Curious to hear where you end up at.
Bronco absolutely should always be a 2 door. We went off roading at a park in my buddies, and my goodness the 2 door is so insanely capable, it blew my mind.
The Mustang should be 2 as well. But if I gotta deal with calling a 4 door Ford car a Mustang just to start seeing good looking sedans...
Any other name would have been better. But it does look good. Side skirts will never be that big.
I've wished Ford would bring back practical cars for some time. Glad to see they are working on it.
