Went to autzone and got some cheap brake pads to replace them and after another 2 session my pads where once again plates. Left the nannies on and I think... (see full post)

Like.Tires and track time (with instruction) may be your best investment. 
Around 140K miles. Car did indeed oil starve then proceed to eat itself. 4 spun rods, half of which are bent, oil pickup full of metal and that timing guide piece was in the oil pan...yeah, we pulled the pan. Having block inspected, I think the... (see full post)
Stangra replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.Ok, that'd do it! I put my car up on quickjacks... didn't even occur to me. (see full post)-
By filling while on a non-level surface. Since the fill plug is situated at the back, if the car nose is tipped forward you can get more fluid in the case before it dribbles out the fill plug opening. If then opened on a level surface later, the...

Well, I've found that if you're using a hand pump, that the thickness of the pump's hose combined with the thickness of the fluid make it such that you can cram a bunch of fluid in there before pressure squishes it out. So it's pretty easy to...
Based on your alignment sheet very little negative rear camber. I know this is a solid axel car so probably there is not too much you can do but still you are at 0 negative camber in fact even positive on rear left so you are going to eat tires...-
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Wheel Width v. Tire Width.So we're going down this rabbit hole? Tire width really messes with a lot of other things and IMO generally falls under the file of demon tweeks to try and make something work that really doesn't want to work, or more likely a rule work around...

302BOB replied to the thread R.I.P. Kyle Bush.You're right Rob, NASCAR has the longest and most grueling season of any sport and it can surely catch up with you if you don't see it coming, (see full post)-
Your faith in the track savvy of Ford Street car engineers is kinda cute. There's 10,000 things that could have been done to improve the car on the track.A friend, I'll talk about him in a coming separate thread, was running the ACS Mustangs...

That's _REALLY_ bad and really rare. The only time I've seen anything like that in recent history is an older rain race tire on banking. I believe it was technically in its use time window as well, but still past its 'sell-by.'Was this tire...

So you're running hots of 32, which means colds are 23-ish. If anything, these seem on the high side. 40-42 psi in a racing tire seems ridiculously high. I've heard fairy tails of street-type tires wanting big pressures here or there over the...

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread 2009 GT.OK, how many miles on the car? Also did any of the valves actually contact the piston tops? These engines are pretty bullet proof. When you say you found a piece of the guide in the pan, did you pull the pan off, or saw it via the drain hole?. I... (see full post)

Phaser lockout seems to be more popular with the straight line folks. Great for one specific purpose but not great for all. Not sure what is needed to pass inspection in NJ. Rural Illinois has no inspection requirements so tweaking is a bit...

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread R.I.P. Kyle Bush.A lot of times these guys push them selves to the brink, and they do it so often that they are comfortable living on that edge.
