    Well, I finally have an answer to what happened in my 2015 Mustang GT on the road course

    I appreciate this post. I had read something about this issue previously so I had installed oil catch cans on both sides as a fail safe. I guess I finally reached the threshold for this to happen as about halfway through the day at VIR this past weekend the driver side catch can was nearly full...

    S550 Brakes - Swapping Street and Track

    What are you guys doing for brakes where your car still see's street use? Are you swapping back to some kind of street pad with compatible compound or do you have a separate set of brake pads and rotors just for street? Or do you just bear through the dust and noise?My car is about 60/40...

    Get Em while you can......still afford Em

    I'd agree...but... /sigh...you seen other car prices lately? It's kind of depressing. Civic SI's for around 30k, mazda3 turbos are 35k, the type R for 45, a GTI is anywhere from 32-42k. ...and these are just the hot economy cars not including dealer markups.

    Why do I need to 'blip' my throttle when downshifting?

    As someone who can't rotate their right foot that well or comfortably (many pins and plates from a crushed heel) - I definitely appreciate the autoblip. Did this mod before ever hitting the track since I didn't want to worry about upsetting the car with poor downshifts. It's definitely helped me...

    AUTO-BLiP Install and Calibration Info for the S550/GT350

    Awesome! Glad it worked out for you. And yeah, soldering it is the ultimate way to ensure a solid connection.

    AUTO-BLiP Install and Calibration Info for the S550/GT350

    Not sure if you've bit the bullet or not...but yes, most issues would be from poor connections on the wires. Use posi-tap connections and not the ones provided by autoblip. That will ensure you've got a solid connection. I think it's also on page 6 here that mentions the posi-taps. I can look...

    AUTO-BLiP Install and Calibration Info for the S550/GT350

    I actually installed an autoblip last year on a 2015 GT and it works ridiculously well. Not sure why it would give any ECM issues unless there was a loose/faulty connection. Adjustment and enable/disable of the unit is very easy and have been enjoying it on track. Installed it with...

    Hood Shake and Front Air Flow

    Thanks guys! Looks like some hood pins are in my future then. May go ahead and do the center vent too.

    Hood Shake and Front Air Flow

    I'm trying to keep this short...I've recently started tracking my car and I'm getting some hood shake/lift/flutter at higher speeds. I've added the trackspec side vents which have helped some, but still see some shaking around 130mph. On the plus side, they also helped a lot with heat.I also...
