Why yes it! How's it going young man?! It's been quite sometime!!Wouldn't be a Tommy Johnson would it?
Yes it has! Glad to see you are doing well. Working mostly for Kohr these days, we won an IMSA championship in 2020 with an Aston Martin.Why yes it! How's it going young man?! It's been quite sometime!!
Appreciate your service and it sounds like you have plenty of time to modify. I would look into a few simple things to go fast and have ready when you return. Get some ARP studs, front 25 mm spacer, square set of wheels ( like Apex or Forgeline ) and closer to your return --- sticky tires. Add in a camber plate ( Vorshlag ), some competitive brake pads ( EBC, or pads from KNS Brakes, or OP Mustang ), and with a competitive alignment you are pretty much set. Who knows what the hot tire ticket will be by the time you get back. Sorry you did not have the Air Force ( assumed since in Co. Springs ) ship the car over since it would have been fun to see you ripping around the courses you listed with the Mach 1.
Curious, since you note you are going to do some HPDEs at some very fun tracks in Europe , what will you be driving at those events?
Went around Nurburgring at age 12 in a Mini Cooper and it was the true " Green Hell " back then ---- road with trees to slow you down ,ha. My Dad was stationed at Bitburg AFB ( closed ) though the car was owned by a wingman of his from an earlier posting. It was a riot and those 2 laps may have been what made me decide I needed to race in some form or fashion. Where are you going to be stationed ( if at Spangdahlem you are right in the same area I was for over 3 years ). You will have a great time in Germany, and do post here when you run at Nurburgring, Spa, and Hockenheim.
So happy to see you as well. Looking forward to ya'll season and I'm sure I'll be reaching out to you for guidance!Yes it has! Glad to see you are doing well. Working mostly for Kohr these days, we won an IMSA championship in 2020 with an Aston Martin.
I gave up on FB after being constantly censored and having my info mined, MeWe doesn't do that, but they are a much smaller community.
You should contact @ flyhalf for some good info on your car.
Very very glad to see you again.
Hello Luda,Tommy, I saw your email about starting a thread. Looks like you figured out what was going on. You were probably trying to start a build thread, but realized that creating a vehicle profile will create it for you.
Looks like you have two vehicle profiles - should I remove one of them or are they for two separate cars?
I appreciate the input. Going to order OEM transmission fluid in bulk so I’ll have some. Some things are a little limited over hereThere should be nothing tricky to use and I would just use Ford Factory fill. I have changed my tranny fluid twice as well as the rear end fluid with Ford fluids and I even went against my own rules and ran one extra weekend on the diff fluid since the Tech I use ( he was the Viper Tech for Woodhouse Motorsports ) is super talented and he said the fluid was quite clean the last time we changed it. I would imagine with the number of Mustangs getting sold in Europe , you should have no trouble finding what you need.
The Mach 1 has a Tremec T3160
