The factory wheels are cast, as are the FP replacements. I don't see the point in the FP wheels because they are only 9.5", heavy and are almost the cost of a flow formed Apex wheel which you can get in 11" if you want a track wheel. Spending $1000 for stockers vs. $1200-1400 for a track wheel is really not a budget discussion. I'll let you know when my $125 wheels crack from track use
Thank you! That sounds simple enough. (I haven’t bled the brakes yet.)Before you bleed the brakes, you can swap out the fluid in just the reservoir. Clutch action (slowly) exchanges the fluid every time the pedal is cycled. I'd do that once or twice before you bleed the brakes. If you already bled the brakes, I'd just change the fluid in the reservoir before your track day.
That might all sound counter-intuitive, but 'junk' from the clutch slave eventually shows up in the reservoir so it actually travels from the slave all the way up.
You could also go to a separate clutch reservoir. There should be a couple of threads on that if you want to go that way.
Check that your oil pressure sensor is tight!
Its above the oil filter and you will see the sender unit threaded into the engine block. If it was loose (which is not uncommon) you will definitely see some oil leakage in that area below. This article may be helpful. https://www.autometer.com/resources/index/guide_view/id/19#TK4yMxBamw6PkrAp.97
Did you torque the oil filter? The GT350 has an adapter/wrench for the filter and a torque spec.

Thanks for the additional information and link! I’m guessing it’s going to be a little hard to reach from under the car, but the article gives the impression it can be done. Thanks again!
Thanks for the link. I remember now that read that before. It seems specific to the GT350. Since mine is a regular GT, I didn’t think it applied to my car. But you’ve got me wondering. I’m gonna see if I can get a look at my filter to check for torque specs. If not, I’ll just go by the dealership and get a new filter. If it has torque specs (or it doesn’t), I guess I’ll have my answer. Thanks again!
