So, I can’t remember what I ate for lunch today, let alone what the actual readings on my car were nearly a year ago. I do know if I posted seeing 289 at Road Atlanta, then that’s what it was. I don’t records temperatures every time; usually just when I see a higher average than average number...

Charitable deduction without itemizing doesn’t start until 2026.

I can confirm the Motorcraft 5w-50 Full Synthetic from Rockauto is the Ford WSS-M2C931-E1 specification and API SP oil, despite the image on their website displaying a bottle with the older API SN spec.

I just ordered the KPM800. Hopefully I won't have to refuel after every session now! :cwl:

So I finally broke down and after much researching, ordered the Motorcraft 5w-50 Full Synthetic. I didn't find any definitive answer on the S650 and using 5w-50 on track, but for sustained high RPM driving at high temperatures, I just don't see where running 5w-50 would be worse than 5w-30. (My...

Fastest I’ve hit is 148 when I was there in November and it was pretty cold, so the car was making more power. Normally I hit 143-144 pretty consistently before braking down to around 45 for 10a. Here’s a video from July with JTI and the data from a session in November. It was brutally hot at...

Great! Thank you!

Here’s my experience when it comes to at home alignments on the S650. Measuring: Camber: Super quick and easy with a gauge. Caster: Not adjustable with camber only plates, so I ignore. Total Toe: Not as quick and easy as camber, but still not a lot of work involved. Toe per corner: Takes...

Per the manual, yes. However, I’ve not had issues replacing them without entering brake service mode. I’ve attached the instructions.

Do we know the specific differences in the Dark Horse R engine versus the street legal vehicle? It has “upgraded oil cooling”, permanently opened oil thermostat, and 12 quart capacity. It also specifies changing spark plugs after each event and engine rebuild after 40 hours. It also states...

I have the GT Performance Pack, and my car is now a dedicated track car. I run 5w-30 because I cannot find any definitive guidance that it is better to run 5w-50. I'm in the South and have tracked my car in near 100 degree heat. There are lots of guesses and assumptions, but nothing I can...

I believe those lateral links are the OE links with the X24 extended ball joints installed. They are an upgraded lateral link for the S550, but OE on S650. The benefit of buying the whole link is you don’t have to worry about pressing out the old and in the new ball joints...

Update and Review: I got the Zen paddle shifters installed last month, but other than a few short drives down the road to check out suspension changes, I didn’t get any real drive time to test them out until this last weekend. I went to a track event at Barber Motorsports Park on Saturday and...

Does the KPM800 require a tune or having anything checked on a stock engine with no tune? The instructions states “It is your responsibility to have your vehicle checked and/or re-tuned by specialist methods to ensure correct fueling and engine safety and reliability.” The instructions also...

Glad to hear they got it sorted out. Mistakes happen, and as long as they own up to it and make it right, then I’d have no problem using them again. No shop, or any business for that matter, is going to have 100% perfection; how they handle their mistakes says a lot about them.

That’s it. You’re all good as long as they were installed.

It’s generally advised to trim the bump stops or install shorter ones when lowering. They stop the shock from compressing when you get to a set point; lowering the car without trimming the bump stop results in a shorter compression stroke before hitting the bump stop.

Absolutely true. I’ve installed a spring upside down before, and when I realized it, I wondered how in the world I made that mistake. As long as they fix it you shouldn’t have any trouble other than being out time for the second visit.

It shouldn’t be making noise when turning. I’d check to be sure they didn’t install one of the front springs upside down as well. It could also be the upper strut mount and thrust bearing weren’t seated correctly on the spring. They installed your driver’s side rear spring upside down. I’m not...
