Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Good to hear. And a set cost about half what the trafeos do. I’m gonna try themQuestion is tire rack hear cycle worth it? I did it on this last set of fronts and they look worse than my much older old ones but it could be other factors (see full post)
I ended up with an X-Spec version caus there was one in Australia already, great smooth action but a pain going from 3rd to 2nd on track. Ended up putting a 3 inch extension on it and loved the difference. The springing in the MGW is quite firm...-

- OX1 replied to the thread Who Tracks Their S550 GT500 And Who Is Your Tuner?.If youre running over stock power, would like to hear about any cooling mods. IC, lid, etc..?

I'm new-ish to track days and HPDE, with a handful of laps at a couple of tracks. The best way to learn something is when you have to teach others, so I researched it and wrote up a detailed guide a few months ago. It's helped me understand...

TMSBOSS replied to the thread What is everybody using to lift their Mustang off the ground?.Protecting the pinch welds should not be a problem. I tried drilling pinch welds on my 350R and destroyed drill bits, High speed, cobalt....no difference. The pinch welds should hold up just fine. (see full post)

navbtcret replied to the thread Who Tracks Their S550 GT500 And Who Is Your Tuner?.I do and mine is tuned by Coastal Chassis Dyno out of Tampa. He does remote tunes, you data log and send it to him and if your tune needs updated, he will and then send you a new tune. He just needs to know any performance mods you have done. (see full post)

Even with the 11" all around, 305 is likely the better answer long term (with all the cambers). Obviously best answer is use what you have first, then racer math says lighter 11" wheels "save money" :)There are about 900 better performance...
