  1. What are you buying for Cyber Monday?

    cars and guns...expensive. even on sales days.
  2. Is an oil cooler mandatory for a barely tracked 2013-GT? (Update: YES!)

    im not an expert on motors and oils, but if the GT motor is designed to run 5W20, I would stick with it, unless you find some very compelling evidence that states otherwise. But thats just my thought on it.
  3. HR262 made its way home!

    Very good looking car brother. Any mustang in grabber blue is sharp, but this is a whole new level! Enjoy the hell out of it!!!
  4. Any "essential" upgrades needed for a Boss 302?

    For the daily driving mods.....Honestly this is a beast of a car, stock. One of the best driving cars I've personally experienced from the show room floor.For driving around town i'd say, oil catch can of some sorts. MGW shifter. The stock unit is nice, but you will notice 3-4 lock outs...
  5. Is an oil cooler mandatory for a barely tracked 2013-GT? (Update: YES!)

    VIR is a big, long, fast track. Im super novice at all this, but I would say that its not mandatory, but not a bad ideal either. Even with temps in the 70's the oil will get hot, quickly. I run a pretty much stock 302, and its oil gets hot quick. I remember how surprised I was at it when I first...
  6. Oil leak help.

    this may sound stupid, but wouldn't all of the oil pour out when i remove the oil filter with out draining the oil first? i always drain the oil then remove the filter due to that impression.
  7. Oil leak help.

    Probably would have. Already past the point of no return, but honestly it was a little trickle down the bottom side of the filter where it meets the base. Ill try and post some when it starts again.
  8. Oil leak help.

    I have a suspicion its the filter as well, but wanted to see that the consensus is out there. The point of the FR filter was basically for improved operation in race application. Everything else I've seen seems to be more for normal driving conditions. Anything out there that is comparable to...
  9. Oil leak help.

    thank you for the insight. ill have a look see and then probably follow up with the dealer.
  10. Oil leak help.

    have the sensors been known to leak up there? I can kinda see it up above my filter, but haven't really looked at it. When i wipe the filter off, i don't get any oil up top. just seems to be on the under side of the filter where it seats. i will take a closer look at the sensor after i take the...
  11. Oil leak help.

    I have noticed twice now a small oil leak where the filter meets up to the block. Its a small trickle, that seems to seep when the motor is under load. Doesn't seem to be leaking when the car is off and sitting, as it sits in the garage often. I have looked the best that i can, and can't see any...
  12. Boss engine oil ?

    where does one find this FR50 oil?
  13. drop in air filter

    Personally i use an afraid non-oiled filter. Easier to clean and reuse.
  14. Best $20 Tool I've Found in a While

    the "scratches" can't be any worse than the curb rash my rim has >:(
  15. A funny thing happened to my brakes at the race track

    I am also running the Ti shims. Our cars are heavy and I don't want hot brakes. I would also consider installing a front brake cooling kit. All that aside, that stop was pretty impressive.
