Unless you're in a 2013/14 GT500. 19" fronts, 20" rears, directional tires. No rotating those dudes. A lot of people crapped on the Goodyears, but they were great tires once they warmed up., (see full post)
Directional tires means you're stuck doing front to rear and visa versa. After about 50% wear, I take them to the tire shop and fip them inside out for the last 50% (see full post)
Whoops, not sure how that got in there, sorry for the post of an EVO -9 ! Aw, heck, no I am not, as that is a couple of pics of my son who is now a National Champion in SSP !It is an appropriate picture since he first time driving 100 MPH was... (see full post)
Stock 2012 GT with OEM Boss wheels. I'm going back to the shorter 255/40R19 front tires soon so I'll then need to lower the front suspension 1" - 1.5" because that tire size looks too short on a stock-height GT. If I understand correctly, I...
I did not take a zillion pics like I have in the past as I found myself watching a bunch of Classes with friends I had not seen for quite a few years - ran into two Conehead Racers I had not seen for 30 years!! Since I joined SCCA in 1981 and...
I did read about your helper spring issue, I have had no problems with mine.I had a very similar noise with the 4.6, only in 4th about 40 mph, but with the coyote it’s quite, very interesting. (see full post)
The only resonance I get from the AL flywheel is with the car in gear, on throttle, at 1500 rpm, worst in 4th and 5th gear, if I’m kind of lugging the engine. I just drive around it.Small detail, this clutch didn’t work well with the stock... (see full post)
I had the LW steel on the 4.6 and went with the Aluminum with the Coyote swap, I haven’t driven it much but it is actually quieter with aluminum than the steel for me, no odd resonance that I have heard (see full post)
Similar to @JAJ, I basically just move the tire with the most tread to the corner where I expect the most abuse. If on the same dry course, this usually involves swapping in a criss-cross pattern.Be careful that many tires are directional in... (see full post)
I did similar but went with the smaller Ram concept 9.5 and Ram AL flywheel. Agree, great looking quality clutch. Liking this setup a lot except 1500 rpm resonance with the flywheel. (see full post)
Hello. What are folks out there using for a replacement clutch? Mcleod? Exedy? Other? Looking for a twin disc. Car will be tracked 5+ days a year, and it is not a daily. Motor being rebuilt to make hopefully 350 reliable rwhp. Its a 4.6. Thanks...
I rotate after each track day or autocross.
I do a standard rotation, crossing the fronts to the rear and the rears go straight forward.My tires have very even wear, so works for me. (see full post)
Thank you for that info I was unaware- I’m currently measuring almost 7 inches of ground clearance from the front lip which seems like way too much but idk why it could have gone up after wheel and tire change. (see full post)
My simple approach has two components.First, with a set of four new tires, consider them as two pairs. One pair starts on the front and the other pair starts on the rear. The two tires in each pair stay together when you're swapping front to... (see full post)
