Finished cleaning up the GT350 after a track day at Blackhawk Farms. Took the wheels off to give the wheels and calipers a good scrubbing. Lots of brake dust. I Feel much better now. Next is an oil change when the oil shows up.
Installed the Optimum Performance caliper stud kit and put new front pads on. Really good installation instructions and quality. They just took forever to get in stock. This will make future pad changes a lot easier. Could have maybe done another track day on the pads, but now I know I'm good...
I was wondering why I didn't see you at Road America last weekend for the Northwoods Shelby Club event... Take it easy and heal up. Do the therapy too. I know that from experience.
Im going to be doing a two day track event at Road America soon. I want to change my front brake pads since I don't know if they will make it through one day. They are the original pads as far as I know. I have a brand new set of OEM Ford pads to put on. My question is, do I bed these pads in...
Did something I've wanted to do for a couple of years. I finally programmed the cars garage door opener. progrprammed my Lincoln MKZ and Expedition also. Wasn't able to fit my Expedition in the garage, so I needed to do it while it was out of the garage. Didn't want to program, so I took a piece...
Ahh, those were the days! kind of miss them in some ways, it was always an adventure and you weren't sure if your machine would keep running and make it home. Or if you had enough spare spark plugs or belts. Those adventures built character. Sure fills that need for speed though.
Hwy 55 from Keshena through the reservation is a blast! Its not in as good of condition as it was a while back, but its still fine. Lots of elevation changes and corners. The scenery in fall is beautiful.
1969 Shelby GT 350 convertible and 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. Had a 1970 Boss 302 and another 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo that I sold so I could get the 2018 GT350. Miss the Boss, but really love having two Shelbys.
I personally love the way my car handles on all roads. I search out back roads. Stock alignment specs and stock SS tires. Maybe it doesn't bother me because I've had old cars that do really handle bad, with terrible bump steer and tramlining.
My wife has been with me for over 45 years. I had Mustangs and Shelbys from the start of us, and it has continued throughout. When I traded a 69 Mach 1 I had restored for a 69 GT500 she cried and was not happy. She cried when the 70 Boss 302 left, but she knew that had to happen to get our 2018...
Changed the oil for the first time I've personally done it on this car. Last year I had it done at the dealership to use up some Ford Points I had. I wanted to get it done before the weather gets nasty. I bought the oil filter guide and filler kit from Pilotgore. Loved how it worked! I liked how...
I just put a Motorcraft 96R in when my original was dying. OEM batteries for me have lasted longer than any aftermarket battery. Hope this one last as long in my 2018. I can live with a few more pounds, I'm not running at 10 tenths.
