jklapko10 replied to the thread Keep your Mustang! Vorshlag Ford Focus RS Development Thread.It is very interesting reading this nearly 10 years later and the criticisms seem fair. I just got one a few weeks ago and on the street it is a fun little car. I got it to do 3 things in this order: daily drive to work with my dog in the... (see full post)-

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread S550 Does more power = more heat?.Garlits' museum is about 50 miles from me, I've seen the car, Smokey was in my rolodex (remember those?) in my sprint car days, I had quite a few conversations with him, great guy, shame to see what happened to his garage after he passed... being...

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Does more power = more heat?.Wow, you are bringing back some memories. I had forgotten all about that car. I had my doubts at the time, and I still do. It seems that had the technology provided the benefits promised, somebody would have picked it up and run with it by... (see full post)- stevbd replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.I was unaware also. Seems Ford has taken a new swing at this since I last looked at this issue. (see full post)
- stevbd replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.I use the old “turkey baster” bulb vent mounted on the top of an FRPP diff cover and that’s done the trick for me. But it appears that bulb vent is discontinued and Ford came out with this tube instead? This might be a good easy first step to... (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.It’s actually made for filling, but obviously not up to that level. You’re supposed to remove the factory fil plug on the front of the axle to monitor the quantity while you add fluid in that top hole. Ease of service, but it doesn’t change the... (see full post)

bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.My Personal opinion is that a PP1 car don't even need springs camber plates and Front Swaybar is enough to make it a great canyon car and reasonable well performing track car. Mustangs actually don't play well with lowering over 0.5 inches (roll... (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.But, that's kind of the point. At the end of the day, we can look at compliance as a function of an overall car vertical stiffness. The distribution of that stiffness isn't set. We can be front stiff, rear stiff or equally stiff front and rear... (see full post)
- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.My car doesn't have the two fill plugs (drain and I assume fill?) like that. Did you add those yourself? (see full post)
steveespo replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.To setup either the Auto Blip or Xingeneering systems it is basically trial and error using the knobs for the Auto Blip and the computer interface on the Xi unit to establish the delay, amount of throttle and duration of the throttle. You set the... (see full post)-
- galaxy replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.Not crazy about the can in that Cortex pic. Drains downhill. This axle will vent. It'll work, you just gotta stay up on the checking/draining it. Here's my completely custom pieced together setup on my '12 GT. Now that I know this axle is... (see full post)

bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Speeking of Street/Track spring rates I think there is a reason why so many people go with BMR Handling Springs (because the rates are just about perfect) 300/980 lbs springs. The other options I would consider is Eibach Pro-Kit Progressive... (see full post)
- cjatrains replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.So a quick reply to some of your questions:I used an inexpensive 4 1/2" Angle grinder (Harbor Freight House brand), bought there 4.5" x 060 (1/16") cut off wheels.

- stevbd replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Nice driving. How do you adjust the timing and size of the blip with these aftermarket auto-blip devices? Is that what the knobs are for?
