    Anyone built an Exocet kit car?

    Getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these? Planning on building with my 14 yo son. He is not really a "builder" type person, but want him to have at least a little competency with some tools.

    Vacation home rental?

    Thinking about starting to track vacation home prices to maybe pull the trigger. Any hood/bad? What kind of ROI is expected. Probably looking in SC. Also, am I a dumbass?

    Rocker Protection

    Curious what people are doing to protect the rockers? Mine are a little chipped up and wondering if people do the PPF (I already have it on the front). Is it worth doing if mine are already starting to get chipped. Also, what about the lower portion of the door. I see some there too. My '11...

    Anyone ran Steeda Ultra-lite springs on their 13/14?

    Have them left over from the ‘11 GT I had. Was wanting to lower the Shelby a bit. I assume they would work?

    Minnesota in the Summer

    Wife is looking to finalize summer vacation plans for next year. She pulled out a Minnesota on me after I was gone all weekend. She was looking at visiting the Brainerd area and hitting the Duluth area. I have kids 11 and 13. They like the normal kids stuff, maybe do a day of fishing...

    14 GT500 - What to do?

    Got my 14 GT500 a while back. Thing is completely stock. Starting to get the itch… Should I leave this thing stock? It will most likely never be at a drag strip or road course. Maybe an auto cross but not often. It will never have drag radials on it. Stickiest tire would be an r888. So...

    Got my 2014

    Just drove this home 5 hours yesterday. Love it, but a couple questions. The driver bolster is starting to rub a little. Anyone painted or dyed this area? Also, does anyone make a bolster protector or cover for this model of recaro seat? The front has maybe 3 tiny little rock chips. Still...

    WANTED: WTB 14-14 GT500

    Just sold my ‘11 GT and looking for 13-14 GT500. Not too particular on color. Are prices on these starting to moderate a bit? Looking at a 14 next week with 44k at $50k. Just seems like the lower mileage stuff 15-25k is all over the place ($52k-$65k)? Want minimal mods, less than 50k miles...

    2011 A/C Problems - Any A/C experts out there?

    Had some free time to diagnose my A/C. Had the car for 3 years and it has never worked, but never really cared as it is a convertible. Put gauges on it and it is basically empty and obviously the clutch does not engage. Checked out the compressor - big question - Shouldn't the compressor spin...

    FOR SALE: 2011 Mustang GT Convertible manual, Supercharged

    Looking to offload my car as my wife seems to prefer older muscle cars. Who am I to argue I guess... I bought the car three years ago with almost 99K miles and it currently sits around 101,700. Seems very clean to me considering the mileage. The car is a premium with Brembo brakes. The car...

    Light Bar or Not

    Racing a Convertible

    I realize track rules vary, but can anyone give me the download on general roll bar/cage rules for convertibles. Been a long time since I have been to the track and used to be 11.99 and faster was a 6 point requirement. License at 9.99 and faster and some other stuff that I unfortunately never...

    Stumble before warmed up

    The last couple times out I notice the car sounds different and is down on power. Idle seems smooth, but its almost like a misfire. Seems to go away once warmed up. I was having a code issue on coil #6 when I replaced the connector, but I seemed to have fixed that. Any thoughts?

    Coil Engine Code - Need help

    So I changed out four of my coil connectors that were broken. Wasn't too difficult, but upon start up I am getting the CEL and the P0356 code which I believe is cylinder 6 (one of the ones that I swapped out). Tried clearing, but came back. Haven't taken it for a drive, but it does appear to...

    Thoughts on Wheels

    Have an 11 GT very and I am trying to decide on wheels. Have the 19" Brembo wheels that I like but are heavy as hell. Was thinking of some Apex ec7 in 18x10 or one of the rotary forged sve options in 19". My car is black so I like the bright silver finishes. Anyone have any thoughts on...

    Tire Help

    So I just put a Brenspeed eforce setup on at supposedly around 500whp. I now have stock Brembo wheels with the Ohtsu it came with. Was thinking of putting on 265/40 Re71rs to help it hook. Other thought is to buck up for a lighter and wider wheel and put on something like pilot sport 4s...

    Coil Connectors

    So I did a compression test on my (new to me) car before I begin putting a supercharger on. Wasn't anything noticeable, but since I had the time I figured why not. I noticed (3) of the coil connectors are broke. Additionally there are (2) that look aftermarket as they clip different and don't...

    New from Indiana

    Hi all. Been out of this game for like 20 years. Fairly recently I talked my wife into letting me build a Triumph Spitfire that my dad had. Rebuilt the thing and put a miata drivetrain in the thing. Then realized it didn't have enough seats for my kids and was kind of dangerous I think...

    Gauge Help

    So I am back into cars a bit after a 20 year hiatus. Recently purchased a 2011 GT convertible as a weekend, non track car. I have done most of the easy suspension modifications and am waiting on receiving a low level (Brenspeed Stage 0) e-force supercharger system to install. I did some...
