    Mahle Drop-in Power Pack 2618 Pistons - Horrendous Piston Slap

    Sounds like a stock gen 2/3 piston with a good ring pack is a good bet if you’re not boosted or revving it to the moon. If they can handle 700rwhp boosted, they should handle N/A road racing to 7500rpm.

    Mahle Drop-in Power Pack 2618 Pistons - Horrendous Piston Slap

    Agree. Have you heard a stock Gen 3 at those RPMs to compare to the current engine?Gen 3s are known for their 2k rattle, which sounds alot like piston slap (but it's not) and pretty much happens in every engine of that generation.

    Building it right for road course!

    Which one? The GT350 OEM or Wilwoods?Did you do any modifications to the master cylinder and/or brake bias? I would imagine a larger caliper in the back won't do much, especially without proper balancing of the bias and hydraulics.

    Earl's -10AN 50 row cooler

    Selling a brand new in box Earl's wide 50 row cooler with -10AN inlets. I bought 2 different size coolers for my custom installation with the intent that I would pick the one that fit the best and return/sell the other. Both of these fit well in my S550, but I have very specific requirements...

    Brembo caliper pins seized completely

    Yup, I did try rust penetrator and heat over and still nothing.I agree, which was my first thought. And I did soak the shiznit out of everything for an entire day before doing this, so you think that would have helped. Also the other side was perfectly fine which is what perplexed me...why would...

    Brembo caliper pins seized completely

    After 12 track days and some 20k miles, it was time to replace the pads and rotors on my 6 piston Brembo caliper setup. All the videos I've seen on these the 2 small pins come out with a few light taps, as was the case on the passenger side. The driver side however was a completely different...

    NEW - FP FP350S HOOD VENT KIT

    That's highly exaggerated, you're making it seem that the quality difference between the FP unit and Trackspec unit for example is the same as the difference between a factory paint job vs. a rattle can paint job.
