jklapko10 replied to the thread Advice Reading Rotors After Runs: Do My Brakes Check Out?.From my understanding, if I'm wrong please someone correct me, the thrust washer is really in there as a spacer because the back of the hub doesn't mate up perfectly and is that 1 or 2 mm short (probably a work around from ford due to the same...

Like.If it isn’t leaking and is losing hydraulic pressure it would have to be the clutch master cylinder. If the slave was losing pressure it almost has to be a leak. I am not convinced it is losing pressure. Clutch master cylinders can go bad but...-
TMSBOSS reacted to EF1's post in the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP! with Like.Replace the clutch. My 2011 behaved exactly the same after bumping the rev limiter up to 7500. The clutch looked fine. A new clutch and slave cylinder fixed everything.

I am bumping this thread only because it is May, and this is a useful thread with good reference material.

1. Same siht I've been saying for 6 years. 2. Probably not.
Not to sound like your dad but if this is your first time on the 3R or similar be aware that they will have a lot less grip than your old PS4s when cold. You have to get some heat in them. I looped my car on the out lap one time on them at...- stevbd replied to the thread HPDE tires.Not to sound like your dad but if this is your first time on the 3R or similar be aware that they will have a lot less grip than your old PS4s when cold.

bnight replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.It's also a matter of the right pressures and suspension.

navbtcret replied to the thread HPDE tires.I will be using some Goodyear F1 Supercar 3R's Memorial Day weekend for the first time on my 2021 GT500.

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Might just try these. Thanks for the suggestion (see full post)-
It's mostly a question of life. If you don't mind bolting them on, Trofeo's are as good as anything. I wouldn't be that concerned with a difference in lap time. OF COURSE the longer wearing tire will be slower. I'm sure there's a tire 3 seconds...

The old standby Goodyear SC 3R is right there with the trofeo, Hoosier TA, R7 etc. in most tests, and I believe the 2026 USAA GY discount is 25 percent off. Plus the 3R is a more affordable tire even before the discount. You can get a whole set...

Some people are easier on tires than others. Some overdrive, some drive off the rear, some tracks murder certain tires (Gateway Roval is my home track). Yokohama are not tolerant of these things.I suspect that the Pirelli might work well for...

This is how my Front A052 looked like after today track day (104 laps on them / 193 track miles and 1933 Street Miles). I did 5 new PBs with them and they still perform reasonably well. I think this tire handle abuse very well.
