It's nothing fancy, just about 40 minutes of in car video shot over a weekend of open track time at Sears Point. video's here enjoy, Ed

After feeling a vibration, I noticed that two of the lug nuts on one of my rear wheels were gone. The studs had snapped off as well. I went to the Ford dealer and bought 2 replacement studs. Can the broken ones be removed and the new ones be installed with the axle still in the car? This...

I just got the registration bill for my 00R, which is due in November. Because the VLF fund has been suspended, I get to pay the full amount, which is $719. Did I mention I am moving to Florida? This is the last straw. Ed

I used a tiny wireless camera Velcro'd onto my rear view mirror to shoot this video. For reasons I have yet to figure out, I can't get my Sony camcorder to record audio when I bring in external video.(I did have a mic hooked up) I've got three versions of the video up, that differ in quality...

I was up at Sears Point on Sunday for the NASA HPDE sessions again. Had a blast, and each time(this is my thrid event) I get a little smoother, precise, and can comfortable go a little faster. I started having a problem getting the gear shifter into 3rd on the upshift from 2nd. It either...

I was just wondering what other folks with 1st generation SHOs are getting for gas mileage. My 90 has 77k miles and in city driving, mostly short trips from being cold, and little extended hiway driving, I'm getting on average 15 MPG. I recently had the K&N air cleaner cleaned which added...

I took the R to the Good Guys car show here in NorCal this past weekend, and wrote something up that will eventually show up on my web site. I thought the folks in this forum might enjoy it. Good Guys 21st All American Get-Together March 22, 23, 2003 Alameda County Fairgrounds...

My 1st open track event, NASA HPDE at Sears Point Raceway (Infineon) Looking back I would have to say that this past Sunday was the most fun I’ve had lately with my clothes on. One toke on the "go fast pipe" is all it takes to get hooked. The only downside was the extra rubbing I had to do...

I just checked the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712 tires I have on my R. The sidewall says max inflation is 44 PSI. Cold pressure in them at the moment is 36 PSI. Any suggestions on what I might want to run inthem on the track during my High Performance Driving thing this weekend? I've not really...

I was going to title this thread "Splitter 2, Ed 0" after trying for the second time to get this SOB mounted. To avoid confusion, I have attached a picture that should help you understand what I calling a particular name.(not my splitter, mine's stock) I begin with my car on the ground...

I've been reading the tech sheets for some open track events, and one of the things they want is more than one battery hold down screw. When I look down at the battery in my 00R, I see one hold down screw in the middle on the side. Is there one I can't see? Is this sufficent or are those...

I've been reading all of the rules for tracks, and they require a radiator overflow catchcan. I know the 00R has the degas bottle, and I see the overflow hose runs over to the fender, and goes inside. My questions is does a stock 00R meet the typical track requirement or have those of you that...

Turbo 2000 Cobra R There's a story and some pictures of a 2000 Cobra R over on Stangnet:)

I'm just curious what other 00R owner's have done with the small engine plaque that has the car's VIN and build number on it. Did you leave it in the black notebook binder pocket? Did you stick it on the valve cover or somewhere under the hood? Did you stick it on the console or somewhere...
