- Don Lariviere replied to the thread Dark Horse brakes.Car looks fantastic! I have a 2018 TA2 Cope Camaro, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. For those asking about the comparison between a converted street chassis vs one of these cars, to me there is no comparison. The feel, cost, speed, all... (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread Tying Your S550 Down In The Trailer.It is kinda difficult with a big wheel setup. Also started going through the wheel. Just be real careful with pulling angles. The Ford tie down points attached are also an option. (see full post)-

GAR944 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.I'm going to throw the proverbial grenade here. A lot of cages i've seen on TMO don't comply with recognized standard construction that complies with race regulations. Comparing regulations from FIA, NASA, Motorsport Australia, Motorsport UK they... (see full post)
RoadRacer78 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.Got screwed by a eBay seller. The Sparco seat base I need is out of stock everywhere. The eBay seller has them listed in stock and has an active listing. Four days after ordering it they tell me I won't have it until everyone else has it... (see full post)-
RoadRacer78 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.I read something about harness bars that I never thought of. If you roll over you are trapped sitting straight up and down by the 4-5pt belts unlike a 3pt that will let you scrunch up. No overhead protection and trapped straight up. I'm out.I...

RoadRacer78 posted the thread Tying Your S550 Down In The Trailer in S550 Mustang Tech - GT, GT350 & GT500.I'm thinking of getting this car hauler or one like it.I was a tow truck driver 30yrs ago, I've hauled a zillion motorcycles and I've had a few cars in enclosed trailers. But I have never used a flat bed like this before. My question is, how...

- OX1 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.It's weird that CMS bolts into stock seatbelt holes for kickers, but you drill holes for main hoop. Watson/Fathouse, you bolt in main hoop, but then drill holes for kickers.I did not want to drill any holes, started with Fathouse main hoop and... (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.From the dark side, yes i'm one of those, would this help manage the rear brake pressure allowing good initial bite but limiting ultimate clamping pressure especially as weight is transferred to the front. The pelican parts link has a good... (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.Join the club, Direct quote from myself about a battery location. "Exactly where it is in my 944, leave me alone in my delusion that its still a road car. Well it does have air con and a full interior."Well the aircon may need to go, Cobrajet... (see full post)

Stan Whitney replied to the thread 2021 GT500 Harness Bar Recommendations & Race Seat Questions.I have a CMS roll bar. Nice part about it is the holes are only drilled for the main hoop in a structural beam that cannot be seen. The rear legs bolt to rear seat belt mounts. Schrader rsd kit I got from them like this - looks good and can... (see full post)
flyhalf replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.According to APRACING it is actually the rear triggering the ice mode. So THEY SAID REAR less aggressive might actually help (see full post)-
Stan Whitney replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.I've had a good experience with Cobalt XR1 and XR2 pads on my 500 and we also run them in brembo race calipers on an s197 boss 302s endurance car. Coming from Fero 3.12s and glocs on my car, these have as much raw power, with better rotor wear... (see full post)

flyhalf replied to the thread S550 : rear brake upgrade, ran the numbers and got a surprise.I increased the brake vacuum thanks to addition canister. No change. What it helps is the engine brake (now with the sequential.) I just talked to AP RACING they dont recommended rear kit only. They said the ice mode is actually due to a roo... (see full post)

302BOB replied to the thread Bob's Ton of Posts!.I was daydreaming before.......you're allowed to do that when you're retired, by the way, and a phrase crossed my mind about when you got nothing you got nothing to lose. I couldn't remember where I heard that from, so I googled it and lo and... (see full post)
EricH replied to the thread Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?.I ended up installing the G-LOC R12 front pads this weekend (pre-bed). It was my first time doing a brake pad change myself, so there was definitely a learning curve, but everything went together well and the car feels good on the test drive. For... (see full post)
