Long story short I installed SPL LCAs and tension arms and one of the mounting studs snapped on the passenger side when I sat in the car a couple of days later. The car is in my garage and the driver's side is against the wall (about 1.5 feet from the drywall). I am going to switch back to stock...
Anyone know why the recommended alignment specs in the GT350 supplement differs so much from year to year?
The 2018 specs have the lowest camber numbers. The 2019 front specs are the only one with positive toe. The 2020 specs are back to toe out but with the same camber as 2019.
Very...
I purchased a set of SPL LCAs and tension rods a couple of months back since my stock LCA bushings are toast. I was wondering if anyone had any installation tips and tricks (both with the install of the new arms and rods but also with the removal of the OEM ones). Any guidance will be greatly...
I am looking to replace my LCAs because the bushing in my driver's side arm is toast. I was wondering if anyone is running either of the spherical LCAs from OP Mustang and if you have any reviews or suggestions. I attend 10 to 12 track days a year and the rest of the time the car is street...
Driving home today I noticed a clunk/creaking noise when initially applying the brakes (the initial weight transfer moment) and also while going over speed bumps. I can feel the clunk in the brake pedal. Any ideas what I should look for first? I am going to try to diagnose and fix myself if easy...
I'm heading over to PittRace for a couple of days at the end of May. I have never been there but have watched some videos; seems fun and a bit like VIR but without the long back straight. Any tips or tricks anyone might care to share?
In preparation for a track day I emptied my passenger side catch can and washed and re-installed my FP air filter. Upon first start up the engine seemed to be stumbling and the RPM was fluctuating as was the air/fuel ratio (falling to 12 and jumping up to 16). Any ideas what the problem might...
Does anyone have the torque values for the caliper bleed screws? I just noticed I have fluid leaking from the screws at all four corners. So I either undertightened them or overtightened them. I am using a tiny 2.5 inch wrench to hand tighten them so I am betting on undertightened. Thanks.
There is a Track Night in America coming up there soon. I'd have to drive 7 hours there and then 7 hours back. Is it worth the trip? I've been to all the "local" tracks except NJMP: Summit Point (all three), Dominion, Pocono, Watkins Glen, VIR.
Well now I can say that I have. My RH non-drilled rotor is a few mm out of round. I installed these rotors prior to my last track day and immediately noticed that the RH side front wheel was not spinning as freely as the LH side and seemed to be catching at a specific point. I had no time to...
I recently installed my new solid rotors. Now I find that the front wheels tend to not spin as freely as before when off the ground. The RH side is a bit worse than the LH side. I can spin them with one hand and they spin for a couple of revolutions, but they seem to "stick" at one particular...
I'm prepping my car for an upcoming track weekend and have a couple of questions about the brakes.
#1: Is it normal for a pad to wear unevenly? On my passenger side the front brake pads are thicker up top and thinner on the bottom. The difference is 1.5 mm. Both the inside and outside pad show...
Decision time regarding the Ford ESP is rapidly approaching. My car has 8675 miles currently. I drive it to and from work a few times a week in spring/summer/autumn and I try to get at least 6 or 8 track days a year out of it.
I have always been of the mind that an extended warranty is for...
So my order for the OEM drilled rotors was cancelled yesterday after about 2 months of waiting. Looks like the FR3Z-1125-E is available but FR3Z-1125-F (driver's side) has no ETA. I've called around to a few places and they seem to be out of stock everywhere I've looked. Anyone have any leads...
My OEM drilled rotors have started to crack so I need to replace them. The OEM non-drilled rotors are around $700 for the pair. The Girodisc can be had for ~$1000. Is there any reason to not run the Girodisc? Is it a bad idea to run the Girodisc on the front but OEM drilled on the back? Thanks
I just hooked up my FP Ctek Charger for the first time and it is stuck in stage 1 or desulfation mode. My battery works well and is not malfunctioning. Is it normal for the charger to stay in this mode if the battery seems fine?
