    S197 Silver V6

Set a goal for what you are looking to get out of you and your ride and strive for it. Some people just want to have fun and some people want to break the track record, wherever...

    RESOLVED - too much slack on carrier.... More Eaton True Trac horror noise...

    Alrighty, great to hear that you have a similar opinion and situation about the slop. I have a 6 puck clutch and the gears/bushings/control arms slap like crazy if I don't pump the throttle till I get it going from idle in 1st or reverse.I feel that lap times at my home track (MSR Houston)...

    RESOLVED - too much slack on carrier.... More Eaton True Trac horror noise...

    I am glad you solved your issue!BTW, I just personally installed mine ~1 month ago and noticed that there is slightly more differential flange play than with my oem diff with TracLoc. The flange turns ~3/16" freely before the wheels move. Do you notice this as well? My backlash is averaged at...

    Thoughts After HPDE #2 in the 3V

    One little tip on sidewall riding. You can use chalk to mark a few lines along the perimeter of the tire that cover an inch on the thread and an inch on the sidewall before you go out in a session. When you come back, the chalk that is worn off will give you an indication of what part of the...

    Help! Brake fluid leaking around bleed screw

    I had the same thing happen with mine. My event was the day after, so I ended up removing the bleeder screw and wrapping ~3 turns of Teflon tape around the threads; and, voila, no more leaking after 8 hard sessions this past weekend. I will highly consider @JAJ suggestion for future events.

    S197 2011 Pandora's Box S197

    I used to have oil flowing out of the hole every event for the best part of 2021. I am now running the Ford Performance finned aluminum diff cover since September 2021. I removed the vent valve from the axle, plugged the axle hole and placed the vent valve at the top of the diff cover. I have...

    S197 Black Panda

    Gentlemen, One very important finding that I collected by comparing oil temps during my two last events at MSR Houston is the following:It appears that the internal cleanliness of our cooling passages is of great impact to oil and coolant temps. Mind you, my engine is the 3.7L V6, but I...
