blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Header Questions.I've crewed on cars with Kooks and also ARH, I take the latter over the former for a competition car. For a street car, I'd prolly bite on a set of BBK shorties in ceramic, because I've run them before and they stay tucked up under the car, I've... (see full post)
mycroft replied to the thread Header Questions.Ceramic coating... it's fine. It works, but it's expensive. So is it worth it? Debatable. Header wrap, no. Moisture collects between the wrap and the header and contributes to early corrosion.I am not 100% pleased with the Kooks fitment, but... (see full post)

Stangra replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.I've gotten some flat out wrong information a few imes while using AI to assist with my build. That being said, it's been very helpful at times too, especially when trying to stumble around in FORscan. (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread Opinions on Current Setup for Dual Purpose Street/Track.It all depends what you want. I see zero reason to increase the rear spring rate. It is beneficial to lower the rear ride height. The stiffer you go with the front spring, the better the car will handle, but you're the only one who knows what you... (see full post)
- AirBiscuit replied to the thread Opinions on Current Setup for Dual Purpose Street/Track.Thank you! I reached out to AJ and he suggested 325F/1000R combination for his kit if I was going to spend more time as a daily driver then on the track. Do you think I should push for a heaver spring rate (400) for the front?At the moment my... (see full post)

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Pulling Axle - What’s Needed.Sometimes the press is hard to get in there. That's why I bolt a wheel on, grease the taper and Wang them down..or torque them, either way. Once I know they are dead nuts straight, I tack weld them so they don't get any ideas. All of the above... (see full post)

steveespo replied to the thread OPM Lug Nut - Torque Concerns.Were the studs recently installed in the hubs? If so it takes a few torque/release/torque cycles to fully seat the splines all the way down to the underhead of the hub. You would be surprised how much .002" makes a difference, since the stud...

Overall it was a good time, but now I have work to do.First off, there were a couple cars there that I don't think are usually there. A new Mustang GTD and a Praga R1. I'd never heard...

GAR944 replied to the thread OPM Lug Nut - Torque Concerns.I believe these nuts are doing exactly what they were designed to do. They are advertised as a racing lug nut with a low friction coating. Race wheels go on and off after every session. Benefit being they spin on and off long studs easily... (see full post)-
