    13.8" rear rotors and caliper adapter brackets

    I upgraded to two-piece floating rotors front and rear and I no longer need the rear 13.8" setup. The brackets were installed for 2 years and worked flawlessly. They do not require the axle to be removed for installation. One rotor is new, the other has a couple thousand miles on it but is...

    F/S: Koni STR.T's, SR springs, GT500 mounts. 2005+ fitment

    I've upgraded to a double adjustable suspension setup and no longer need my previous Konis. The setup worked great and the front struts are assembled with springs and GT500 mounts. Will fit 2005+ as far as I'm aware. The shocks are the 2005-2010 spindle style and the GT500 mounts fit that era...

    WTB: Cheap trunk lid, damaged is OK

    I need a rear trunk lid for cheap to use for some protoyping for a project I'm working. Don't care what color, or if it has damage as I'll be drilling into it anyways. I'm in CT, would prefer local because shipping something this big is $$

    2014 GT road course video on slicks

    Finally got to run my slicks & lightweight wheels at the track. Instantly in love with the setup. For this video, I also had my ~230 lb friend riding along. He's my excuse for not getting in to the 1.00's :-D Extremely fun BFG R1's http://youtu.be/-Uzy4s2qnIo

    Discovered the wonders of slicks at Limerock

    Finally got to run my BFG R1's at Limerock on 10/24 with LNM. What a massive, intoxicating experience. I'm fully addicted. Only ran 2 sessions of ~15 mins each, so I was just sort of getting the hang of them, but so much fun. Need to start working with tire pressures, as I got the front left hot...

    Re-worked my brake cooling

    After continued brake fade issues I've had at track outings this year, I did some research and found the 2011/2012 Mustang routing has a significantly larger inlet area compared with the fog light bezels I have been using. Additionally, the routing has fewer bends, so significantly less loss in...
