    Thoughts on Yoko A005 Slicks

    I ran take-off Pirelli DH slicks on the Mule last season, but those are getting neigh onto impossible to find in 305/690-19 and I don't want to go with the taller and wider 315s. In looking at alternatives, I came across a great deal on some Yoko A005 in 300/690-19.I'd really appreciate your...

    GT350 Hesitation on track at high rpms in 5th gear?

    As a secondary check to the output shaft tone ring nut issue, does the cruise control work? If no, then it could be that TSB-related issue. I replaced my tone ring and hardware when the transmission was out of the car, even though an in-car check showed the tone ring nut was torqued to spec...

    Update on the TO bearing and clutch.I'm usually hands-on with mechanical work, but I admit to being really slow and deliberate in the shop - which means that if I were to have tackled the clutch work, my season would be over. In the interest of establishing a relationship with a nearby...

    For anyone experiencing a "notchy" clutch feel, hard to press clutch at top of travel, or hanging-up or sticking in the down position, here's likely what you'll find upon removal of the transmission.This first pic is what a healthy (new) hydraulic throwout bearing looks like (this is on a...

    Cruise for a Cause Track Day @ Historic Road America

    So, the Mule is down for maintenance.... transmission out for clutch and TO bearing. As a result, the back-up car will be there on Wednesday..... my half-a-decade project of a FFR Cobra replica. Not set up for HPDE, but will be on-track during the lunch break hopefully giving a good ride for...

    Just a short update from the Mule's 1600 mile road trip adventure to Barber Motorsports Park this past weekend.The weather couldn't have been better, with moderate humidity and temps in the low 80s on Saturday (a bit warmer on Sunday). This was my first time at Barber and it lived up to the...

    S550 The Rented Mule

    Today, we find the Mule experimenting with something seen at the recent Gingerman event.Special thanks to @Black Boss for this one - a Lexan cover for the airbox. Besides the obvious advantage of keeping clag and rain out of the airbox (once I vent the hood), I'm hoping to see a drop in...

    2023 Grassroots Motorsports' Ultimate Track Car Challenge

    Reading the most recent issue of Grassroots Motorsports' coverage of the 2022 Ultimate Track Car Challenge ("UTCC"), one sentence stands out..... "The Chevrolet Bowtie dominated the paddock, with five Camaros and four Corvettes." Sure, both are capable of seriously fast lap times in the right...
