    Lug Nut Recommendation

    Looking for a lug nut recommendation for running S550 (PP1) wheels on a S197 car. I know the thread size needed, but not sure about the angle of the lug to mate against the wheel. I had heard that the factory S197 lugs won’t work (don’t fit against the wheel properly). I know it’s been done...

    Driving w/ Center Console Removed?

    so I still have the console out working on my Shifteck Alcantara boot kit; waiting on another parking brake boot...separate story. But...I want to drive the car. The center console has that thingamabobber in th cup holder for the key fob scenario. I haven’t started the car or anything, but can...

    TPMS...Accurate Pressures?

    Do you guys use the numbers on the dash for tire pressure, or use your gauge? I have a gauge that I trust (verified against other quality tire gauges at a shop), and I checked tires yesterday...the dash reads ~4 lbs higher than my gauge. Curious what you guys have seen for accuracies.

    Removing Shifter Boot

    Trying to remove the shifter boot to install my Shifteck kit. I’ve been pulling on the boot ring (the piece that attaches to the console) about as hard as I dare without confirming that it does in fact just snap out. I watched a video on installing a boot in a S550 car and figured ours should be...

    Engine Displacement Logic?

    So check this one out. Someone called me out on my license plate (FLAT 315) about the cubic inches. When you convert it doing basic math, 5.2L does not come out to 315 cubic inches. 5.2L = 317.3. BUT...every article, news blog, spec sheet, the OWNERS MANUAL, Ford, and on and on and on, list...

    Caliper PowderCoating?

    I know there's a few guys on here that just bought the R calipers new to have red, but hasn't anyone torn down the black/grey ones for powder coating? I too want red, but it's hard to justify a $700 price delta for red paint. Local, reputable shop gave me a ~$280 estimate, and they'll even do...

    Things Others May Not Know Our Car Does!

    Someone did this on another forum I'm on and thought it was pretty cool. Actually learned some neat stuff from it. So, here goes.... - With my phone connected to the car, if I use Siri, it will turn the fan down to reduce the volume/background noise. Once I'm done speaking, it turned the fan...

    Amsoil Air Filter Option

    So I know there's some Amsoil fans around here! I don't know if you guys know, but Amsoil used to make dry air filters, and they were phenomenal. Well, they still make the blue, conical, universal fit air filters with the same materials. I had an idea and started doing some comparison...

    Winter Storage??

    So this’ll be the first car I’ve ever had to deal with winter long term-ish storage. Car sits in the garage that’ll never be below freezing, but wanted to see what you guys do when sitting for extended periods; potentially up to two months?? I figure the only real thing I’m even concerned...

    EBC Red Pads...Thoughts??

    So I found out EBC is releasing pads for our car; no ETA yet though. You guys have an opinion on the Red Pads? I had a couple questions. Reds are ceramic and taunted as EBCs lowest dust pad, and still great performance. Red pads will far exceed any capability I’m gonna need on the street...

    Race Deck Flooring??

    Gonna re-do the garage floor this spring and was thinking about Race Deck instead of coating again. I have one main question/concern though... I really like the looks of the Free Flow tiles, a lot. Much, much better than the standard tiles. But I always, always, always wash the vehicles...
