About to order my new rims. They are 9" front and 10" rear. On tirerack they recommend 245/40/18 fronts and 275/35/18 rear. I was going to get the GS-D3's in that size but saw that the Kumho MX comes in 265 and 295 widths. Should i go 245f-275r or go bigger to 265f-295r? Would a 295 be to...
Got my car back after 5 weeks and was about to use my predator for the performace tune to get rid of this low f'n idle. Does anyone know if Ford reflashes with the latest calibration when they install crate motors? I havent had my pred updated to R12d and dont want to be stuck. thanks

Does a new clutch and flywheel come with the crate engine from Ford? I got my engine warrentied and was going to order a new clutch setup if not. Thanks

I want to do something about the rusting of the stock manifolds. I am getting a "new" set with my crate engine and the techs said they would let me pick them up for a day or so. I was told you can ceramic coat them(to much heat for regular powdercoating), or I could order this...
Im overheated again and need to limp across town. How do you bleed air from the cooling system? Also, can I fill with water or will only coolant work. Thanks for any help.

What is the part # for the 10 IC bolts? Got my ported blower back but dont want to reuse the old ones. Dumb question, but is Ford the only place to get the bolts (ie not home depot, Ace) Thanks

I am staying in SF for a week in the Nob Hill area. Any Bay residents have any suggestions. Was planning on going to the wharf 1 night and probably Chinatown 1 night. Thanks

Went to test n tune tonight and it was freakin dead at the track. I made 8 runs hotlapped until my brakes started glowing and smoking:nonono: . Let it cool down for 20 min and got back in line. I am next to a ricer but the guys stops me and says the guy behind wants to run. Look back and its...
Not a big deal to most but I finally got under 8.0 tonight. Made 16 runs:eek: My brakes got so hot they started glowing:) There was freakin nobody out. 6 passes under 8.0, best of:
60'--1.833
330--5.179
1/8--7.926
mph--89.80

I havent been able to get to the 1/4th so I was wondering what i might be running. I ran [email protected] with a 1.93 60' last night. Any idea what the 1/4 time would be assuming i could hit all gears? Thx

I was out at my "practice" onramps (working on my 2-3 powershift) I do the usual stop, launch, wind it up to 4th prob 120 at the end of the ramp. I immediatly hit the brakes and start slowing when I see headlights FLYING toward me. V1 silent and car has low driving lights so not thinking fuzz...
Just took the car to the strip for the first time since getting these tires. My 60' went from a 2.2-2.4 down to a 2.0xx. Ran them @26psi. Hop was almost non existant also. Overall pretty happy with them, they do have a little more road noise that the f1's. Just an FYI for those like me...
Well it has been an interesting day to say the least. I have had like 4 good races in my car in 7 MONTHS, not anymore.
Race#1- Coming back from getting all the Easter crap from storage. Going down I95 minding my own business. Guy in a new 911(black) pulls up beside me and smiles. Then...
Well I've had an interesting weekend. I had my billetflow tb put on Fri. Went to the dyno and got some SICK #'s with it (437rwhp,408rwtq) Before I got on the dyno I noticed that there was some antifreeze on the battery, but we checked all the lines and everything looked good. Made 3 pulls...
My car's trans is offically fried. It is a major effort to get it into any gear. I'm taking to the dealer on Mon. I have changed the trans lube to Redline D4. Should I drain the Redline and put the stock (whatever it is?) trans oil back in. Hate to waste the d4, but dealer saying "no repair...
Well finally made it to the track on Fri night. Was hoping to get to mid 13's but didnt quite make it.

Going to the track for the 1st time EVER on Fri and had some questions.
-What psi should I run the F1's at front/rear?
-Should I remove the spare/jack and run at 1/4 tank gas or would more weight toward the back help?
-Is the front right headlight just a simple screwdriver removal? I have...
Well I was on my way back to my office the other night to get something I had left. Was not looking for trouble when a nice looking black ss comes flying beside me and starts reving. I just looked over and smiled but did not respond. The SS then cuts right damn in front of me and hits the...
Well I have had my 03 for 3 MONTHS without a single 'race'. When I had my gt it seemed like I had 1 a day. On the way home today I spot a guy in a 911 Carrera weaving in and out of traffic like crazy. I watch him hang a right onto a 4 lane (opposite direction from where I need to go) and say...
I am stuck trying to get the hose into the air intake beside the fog light. Any suggestions. Tried holding with pliers and using a flat head screwdriver to feed it in, all that did was scratch up the damn opening.:bash: Thanks

Finally hit the 1000m mark, did an oil change and made a app. at the dyno. Well of course I'm late getting off work and have 30 min for a 45 min drive. Drive like a bat outa he11 and make it in 35min. So my plan of going early, after an easy drive is shot to .. Pull up and they immediately...
Well picked up #2281 Black vert, blk/graphite today. Built on 8-4 and finally made it here. Had 30 miles on the odometer from the factory. Had only 1 small ding on the shifter and they already ordered a new one. Went for a 45 min test drive (in rain and rush hour :gt: ) NO vibe at 80-100 in...
