    7th Gen Mustang Reveal September 14th.

    Given the S650 looks like a refresh - Are fenders / bumpers etc going to fit S550's? Because I'm liking those front fenders and the lines look like ours.

    Lap Time Thread

    I started with 26 cold in the morning. Ended at 32. I tried adjusting with the heat throughout the day to stay at 32 hot, but it seemed to keep rising more then expected. Came off with 39- lowered to 32 when they were hot etc. I think I just need to pay better attention to the tires as...

    Lap Time Thread

    Good point. I can only rotate side to side with my wheels, and I did that from the first day to the second. I did drive the car home on the tires after the first track day.I was getting up to 39 hot with the 3R's. I was shooting for 32 given that seemed to work with the cup 2's. On my 3rd...

    Yeah... Your mileage may vary - hopefully for the better! Cups lasted me about that long as well.

    Lap Time Thread

    That was the 4th session, I just got a 1:42 out of that session. The poor Miatas demanding a full course black flag worked for me as I needed gas bad, haha. For some reason it seems like I only got 1 good day out of the goodyears. They just kept slipping after the first session. I'm thinking of...

    Just some Miatas battling it out and others! No video unfortunately thanks to technical BS. Overall, it was a great group. Everyone spaced out nicely throughout the day.

    Rear Seat Delete Question

    I took Cardboard, traced around the cage mounting point and then cut it out of Sentra (Plastic) and it's held in place by friction and Velcro. The trunk divider is held in place with friction alone - it's a nice press fit. You can totally do this with corrugated plastic if you wanted and just...

    Are you an MCA member?

    That would be great! One thing I can say about TMO is I didn't realize just how much knowledge and such there is here until I met one of the members - @byronj in person and came to learn how rich TMO is with resources, knowledge, etc. My feelings aside - I admire what you're trying to do and...

    Are you an MCA member?

    You're exactly right on this one. I grew up around a 68' GT350 and joined the Shelby club when i was getting it up on the road. To keep a rant short - The shelby club felt useless to me. Same goes for VMOA. The mustang is an insanely popular car and as such you have local clubs, statewide...

    How to determine optimal (minimum) lap time for my car

    Definitely! I only have one day out there so I definitely have a lot to learn, but it's a really fun track!

    How to determine optimal (minimum) lap time for my car

    A mere 8 track days here - I purchased the Aim SOLO 2 DL, have used it for 3 track days so far and it's been incredibly useful so far. Yes - we can't get brake pressure - but, you can get speed over time which will show you braking performance in the sense that you can see how hard you slowed...
