niterydr replied to the thread S197 CSM Build - 2008 GT.Also the fuel cut, that wasn't a tank issue. I had a rev limiter in HP tuners off the clutch switch, not a smart move. It was making a 2nd rev limiter with the clutch engaged. Also the Gloc R16 front/R12 rear pad combination may be a bit... (see full post)
Adam Ginsberg replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.Very nice. Out of curiosity, did you change the rear spoiler to the LS model to match? (see full post)

Like.Before pumping the clutch pedal to bleed the TOB, first apply vacuum to the master cylinder reservoir. I use a simple hand pump, mityvac. I found a rubber plug that fit the opening drilled a hole through it and stuck it in the opening. Pull a... -
blacksheep-1 reacted to mwjscn's post in the thread Problem with getting my 2014 mustang in gear when running ? with Like.In the OEM configuration, the clutch is fed brake fluid from the brake master reservoir and doesn't have its own reservoir. The often-suggested way to bleed the clutch (given that there's no bleed valve on the system) is to actuate the clutch...

blacksheep-1 reacted to TMSBOSS's post in the thread Problem with getting my 2014 mustang in gear when running ? with Like.Not sure how they bleed the system. Is the TOB stock?If they are doing the suggested 50-100 pumps of the pedal to bleed the system, that may be your problem. Apply vacuum to the reservoir when bleeding/pumping worked for me.

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread 2014 Mustang still stuck in gear?.thats the biggest thing I hate about these mickey mouse hydraulic clutch cylinders, you have to pull the trans to shim them, it's stupid, it is also harder to power shift, give me a cable or linkage any day (see full post)

blacksheep-1 reacted to BackInBlack's post in the thread 2014 Mustang still stuck in gear? with Like.Yeah I was thinking TOB. But it could be your trans too. Did you replace the TOB? Have you lost any brake fluid? Does pumping the clutch help?Good luck. Hope it's just air in the lines or TOB. If there is or was a leak I think that can cause...

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.I'm not a "treaded tire"guy, but I'll try. Yes it seems you can use some more camber, but I'm thinking you might have a toe issue. I noticed the feathering in the top photo, and on one of the lower ones you seem to have blistered the tire Tee Lew... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 reacted to byronj's post in the thread 2025 PP GT, seeking better brake pads for Street, AutoX and occasional HPDE. with Like.Reach out to Ken @KNSBrakes. He should be able to help you out. G-Locs are a pretty good brake. The owner of G-Loc is very responsive. I used them for a while but have since moved onto Pagid. They work better for me and the abuse I put on them...

Gunslinger55 reacted to byronj's post in the thread New S650 Suspension Setup / Coilovers? with Like.I went the mag ride route with the Ground Control set up, which is very similar to AJs. It was a good improvement. I gained 3 seconds at my local track right away. That only lasted about a year. Then I went with a DSC tractive set up that put the...

Gunslinger55 reacted to Flyingtexan's post in the thread Suspension bolts torque to yield or send it? with Like.After some exhaustive research, including this forum and others, here's the deal. These are not torque to yield, they wouldn't have a torque value if that were the case. This is a liability thing on Fords part and perhaps a way to make a few...
