Follow-up on the cooler following a weekend at Roebling Road Raceway. Ambient temperatures were around 80, and through both days the highest axle temp I saw with the cooler on was 221. I did run one session without the cooler as I forgot to turn it on, and the cake temp was 271 as I was pulling...
The dual rates are more performance focused (track/aggressive street) while the progressives are more comfort and normal handling focused (daily driver). That said, I have the progressives on my car and they work well for me on the track, although I am a novice. I know a lot of people run the...
You started off by complaining about how bad everything was on the car and the terrible ppf work, then say you hope for a buyback. You then immediately shift to how you can’t believe the trade in offers you’ve received because the car is “completely paint protected and ceramic coated along the...
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...
Before my first trip to Atlanta Motorsports Park I extended the exhaust wrap further back and also put heat wrap around the cooler lines.
Here’s the results of my track day at AMP yesterday. It was pretty warm, upper 80’s, so I worked out well for testing the cooler. I ran a total of five...
I have no complaints with the 10R80 in my 2024. It is definitely a more noticeable shift when cold, but once it gets warm it is really good.
Now, the 10R140 in my 2021 Super Duty does do as you described when cold. Also, shifting from reverse to drive when cold you often have to wait 2-3...
I think it’s mainly the social media phenomenon. You get a few videos of stupid people doing stupid things and all of the sudden the car has a problem. I personally don’t hear “lots of talk of this car in particular being unstable”. The Mustang sold at twice the rate of the Camaro, so with...
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...
I’d confirm they didn’t install the springs upside down. Even good shops occasionally make mistakes. I’m not certain about whether the dealer would touch it, but I think they may. Some dealerships do aftermarket suspension modifications (or outsource it), but mainly on trucks. I’d still take it...
I do almost all of my own vehicle work unless it is under warranty. The exception is oil changes. In my younger years I changed the oil myself, but I've found in the last decade or so that it only saves a few dollars and those few extra dollars are worth paying for me not having to mess with...
I’d probably go with an H pipe resonator delete. Mine is an active exhaust, but I had the Steeda H pipe and it gives some extra volume without the drone and isn’t raspy. That’s also likely to be the cheapest option as well.
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...
Because you’re not just complaining about the car. You’re intentionally insulting people who like the S650. I’m not saying you’re wrong to dislike the S650 or complain about the features you dislike; just understand that is just your opinion, not an undisputed fact about which only fanboys would...
You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion. If you don’t like the S650, then you should sell it and buy an S550. There are plenty of people who prefer the S550, but that doesn’t mean the ones who prefer the S650 are wrong, deluded or fanboys. I had an S550 and now an S650, and I would take the...
