drunkonunleaded replied to the thread Pulling Axle - What’s Needed.I forget where I read this, but someone recommended a Ball Joint Separator for pressing studs, so I tried it when I installed the ARPs on my Bullitt.This was fairly easy and they pressed in/out by hand. I'd recommend the Lisle stud... (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.It will be really interesting to see how this all goes once you get the final tweaks on the tuning. What an adventure!I asked earlier, but is E85 not a thing in Australia? (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.You probably already know this, but Steeda sells engine mounts for the S550 that lower the engine height. They used them on their own "Silver Bullet" naturally aspirated drag car with that intake manifold to get it to clear the hood.You... (see full post)
Sumfoo1 replied to the thread Best and worst tracks in the wet.Probably a dumb question but what do yall run for wet tires ? One of the tracks I drive at feels like “dry” is still a heavy dew on the track (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.So picked up the car Friday afternoon. Of course it decided to rain and be cold as. Love driving a track oriented car in the wet. Cold everything and no traction. And full open exhaust past a large police station. The boys did me a little favour... (see full post)-

- stevbd replied to the thread S550 Budget rain/street tire.Ah, gotcha. Your experience with the 4s being a pretty exceptional high performance rain tire is consistent with everything I’ve seen. (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Budget rain/street tire.No, actually, old to old. I know that sounds backwards, but the 4S is much better in the rain when old. And this is interstate. I have never driven on a track in the rain. Maybe I should not have posted anything. (see full post)

dave2278 replied to the thread S197 Redrum "GT350".Engine in the bay temporarily to mock up cooling and oil lines, make sure I have everything I need. I’ll need a different strut brace, the Steeda won’t clear the intake even with the engine lowered 3/4”. (see full post)

- EF1 replied to the thread Pulling Axle - What’s Needed.I pulled my axles and pressed new studs in when I was changing the gear lube since I was already in there. No one time parts or specialty tools needed. You may want to replace the axle seals and bearings while you are there as a precaution. (see full post)
mycroft replied to the thread Pulling Axle - What’s Needed.You don't need an impact, you can do it with a normal ratchet and maybe some help with a cheater pipe or breaker bar. No more stress than you'd get with a press, you're just going the other direction. Getting them off, that's another story but...

TheTed replied to the thread Thoughts on GTD Style Fenders?.There was nothing scientific about what I did, and I'm not even recording the numbers very well. Oil may have been more like 10, but I was bumping up towards the 280F point before. Different days, although similar temperatures, and with the... (see full post)
