In the week leading up to and including the July 4 celebration of 250 years of independence in our great nation, I went on a road trip totaling more than 2,600 miles attending three HPDE track events with Chin over the course of eight days. I had a great time despite losing one full day due to...
I have been looking for a way to make checking the transmission fluid in my 10r80 a little easier since I’m changing the fluid regularly due to track use. I haven’t found any dipsticks designed for the Mustang, but I came across one from B&M which is designed for the 10r80 in the F-150. I took a...
I haven't seen anything posted yet, so I wanted to share that MCA will be having a 50th Anniversary event August 28-30, 2026 at Road Atlanta.
It includes a judged car show, non-judged car display, 3 day HPDE event, and Autocross. It looks like it will be a fun event...
Does anyone know the Ford part number for the front subframe nuts? They are a single use part per the service manual, but I cannot find the part number or where to purchase replacements. @LevittownFordParts are you able to help?
Attached are the pages from the Ford service manual related to brake pad and caliper servicing on cars with the 6 piston front and 4 piston rear Brembos. I was about to post these in another thread in response to someone asking for them, but figured it was better to have a dedicated thread with...
Does anyone have what the max RPM is in each gear for an A10 before the car cuts fuel to the engine? I've researched online and see where there have been some statements that the 7500rpm redline is where it cuts in every gear except 6th, which has it cut fuel at 6800. However, I'm pretty sure...
Does anyone have experience with the Zen Carbon Fiber Magnetic Paddle shifters? I was looking for an option to extend the paddles, but was not really loving the idea of just taping on some extensions. I came across these, and if they work, it could be a nice upgrade for use on the track...
I had an interesting, although not entirely unexpected thing happen with my 2024 Mustang GT PP today.
I’m doing a track day at Road Atlanta, and from 10am-12pm on Sunday the county has mandated quiet hours for the track. We were still allowed to drive as long as we had a relatively quiet...
I’m hoping someone may have had a similar occurrence and can point me to the cause of the clicking sound coming from the left rear suspension on my 2024 GT PP.
A little background on the car mods and use. For the rear suspension I have Steeda Progressive springs, Steeda adjustable sway bar...
For anyone who has thought about checking the transmission fluid in their 10r80, I’ll let you know it is not fun. I changed out my transmission pan for one that has a plug so I can regularly change my fluid since I am tracking my car. I have the shop manual which says the initial fill after...
I completed my first track event at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama this past weekend, and I was very happy once again with how my car performed. I'm still fairly new to tracking, and was in the Novice - Instructed group, but did get passed for solo driving for the second day...
I just thought I’d share with everyone my experience, which demonstrates our cars are adjusting oil change intervals based on use. I changed my oil at 9,874 miles two weeks ago, reset the oil life to 100%, and today at 10,174 it hit 0% oil life. That is a total of 300 miles driven.
Now, to...
After much contemplating what route to go with the setup of my car interior, I settled on the following for the track.
1. Watson Racing 4 Point Cage
2. Cobra Nogaro Circuit Seats with PCI slider mounts
3. Schroth Quick Fit Pro harness with sub straps (6 point)
4. NecksGen Rev2 Carbon HNR
5...
I’m looking for some insight from those with more wheel/tire experience than me. I bought some new Steeda Trident wheels and Continental EC Force tires for track use this year. I had the tires mounted by Steeda a few months back, but never installed the wheels and tires on the car. This evening...
I’ve been working on cars since I got my first piece of junk at 15 years old, which I had to share with my sister. That was over 30 years ago, and since then I’ve done a little of everything on my vehicles. I’ve rebuilt engines under the carport including using a cherry picker in the dirt. Fun...
I've not been able to find any answers in the forums regarding what notifications and warnings display if you remove the driver's seat in an S650. I will be installing a racing seat for use on the track, and I'm wondering what types of warnings and notifications the car will give? My main...
I'm looking for some advice on whether to add a roll cage and switch to racing seats in my 2024 Mustang. I'm just doing HPDE events, but I have the leather (non-Recaro) seats in the car and am using the factory three point harness. I had been looking at swapping over to the Schroth Quick Fit Pro...
I had the pleasure of taking my car to its first track besides The FIRM. I did the September 21 event at Atlanta Motorsports Park with Just Track It, and it was an absolutely blast. I was very impressed with the organization of the event and how it went exactly by the schedule. As a novice, I...
Update: It was an easy fix. I simply cleared the DTCs with Forscan and everything is good now.
Edit: Crazy me forgot I had purchased the full services manual for the car last week before I did the stud replacement. I've read through the sections on the parking brake, and it appears a reset...
Well, I have officially had my car for one year. I picked it up on September 1, 2023, which was the day after Hurricane Idalia rolled though our area and knocked out most everyone’s power. I now have 8,662 miles on my car with everything from 1,000 mile road trips and driving around town to the...
