Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S197 Bump steer excessive tire wear.Maybe you do not need both sides to be the same if there are only two left hand turns at AMP (not in Atlanta). Back the left side down just a tiny bit, and back the right side down substantially. (see full post)- RedStallion27 replied to the thread Rotor line after HPDE.Thank you. I'm not sure why the picture won't load but here's a direct link belowRock or debris makes sense. Are my next steps as simple as removing the pad, removing any visible debris, and reinstalling the pad? I assume the rotor will wear... (see full post)
You can hurt lines, filters, coolers, etc. by over-pressuring, but mostly it's a case of getting everything warm before stressing it. Oil touches all the vital parts. If it's cold, so are they....And also, it's just a stupid thing to do. Don't...- TeeLew replied to the thread Minimum Oil Temperature?.Oil has a higher thermal capacity, but much lower heat transfer rate. Salt water is about the best you can do for cooling. This would corrode like crazy, so we run straight water with a surface tension modifier/pump lubricant like Water wetter or... (see full post)

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Rotor line after HPDE.Not sure of the issue as I can not get your picture of the rotor to come up, but often something like this is caused by a rock or debris getting between the pad and rotor and scarring it in one area of the said rotor. Just a guess since unable to... (see full post)-
JDMac34 replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.There must be a reason they call you Fabman. That looks great! I'll attempt to make some ducting before I chop up my bumper cover (see full post)
There are two mount points of the FP struts. The end links are mounted to the rear mounts on both sides.Camber plates are brand new. Strut nuts are properly torqued w/locktite.
1995CobraR replied to the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta.I fully agree. You know the track. I am in Advanced as I have raced in the HSR Walter Mitty for 25 years. It's a fast track and some guys can wreck me. I don't have insurance.I am driving a 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350:It's my first time in... (see full post)-

Fabman replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.Here’s a screen grab:Also notice that I made sure all the air was unobstructed in front of and sealed tight around the cooler and the rad. This means more than one might think. Every little air leak is hurting the performance of the coolers... (see full post)-

Fabman replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.That’s very kind of you to say. I might add one more thing. Sealing the oil cooler to the radiator will help keep air getting behind the cooler and stalling the air going through it. I used foam strips with sticky back so all the air going... (see full post)

Air is going to take the path of least resistance and in your case around your cooler rather than through it. You need to duct the air hitting the front of the cooler to stop it bypassing. Gratuitous image stolen from @Fabman as we might as well...

Seems fine. But, I've got a real good deal on Liqui-moly going, so that's next. (see full post)
biggsy replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Highly unlikely but are the camber plates old? It is possible(again…very unlikely) that the center bearing is worn out and has excessive play. (see full post)
Hope it’s alright to revive this old thread & thanks for all the helpful input…SRP pedals install on my ‘08 Shelby went great.I bought them from LMR & it was good advice to remove the entire gas pedal first (3, 10mm nuts & unplug the...
