    The ZL addd ons set screw jack pads are great they fit the aero cutouts on belly tray on dark horse. The lightweight ones are perfect and no drilling. Sounds like it’s a pain to drill the later models out (see full post)

    I am a pretty big fan of these trafeos. Takes a lot of abuse that’s for sure. I thought i was gonna cord out this weekend but the grip seemed to hold and still got a few sessions in them and that’s in 85-105+ heat god knows that the track was... (see full post)

    Yes. I like them. I have improved my PB at our local track with them, though previously on Falken RT615k+ so maybe not surprising. I can't comment on longevity as I have only had them on for a couple of sessions, but they seem to be holding up... (see full post)

    There's a guy on here that builds awesome jack plates, I have had them on every mustang I own. Of course I don't remember his name, it might be on project superbeater. If you use jacking rails the race organizers, or autocross or whatever, may... (see full post)

    Ordered a track spec cage back in December, finally received it last week. 14 weeks on a 2-4 week original quote. Really set me back quite a bit, hopefully get it welded in here in the next week or so. Haven’t touched much since then. But once...

    WIth 170k miles a sitting for a couple years, I agree with not trusting the current calipers (or hoses). The cheap fix would be rebuilding / replacing all 4 calipers and replacing the flex hoses at each corner.However, I think you'll begin to...

    Little forward thinking. Even though we're going somewhere for Easter I couldn't pass up a ham for .99/ lb. Deboned, sliced , couple roasts and sealed for future meals. I get a craving for ham through the summer. Definitely saved the bone...

    There are numerous better choices, both in price and performance than the ancient Schitto NT-01s --- whoops , sorry but that slipped out.You might add Yokohama A052s and BFG Rival S 1.5s.
